The Rent Agreement Ch. 07 - Preview 2

Here's the next preview, readers. It's lengthy compared to most of the preview chunks I have shared here. It will definitely need some more editing before being published as part of the full chapter, but I'm happy enough with it to post it now. This is not the end of chapter 7, either. It will probably end up being the longest one of all. For those who are curious - I don't know for sure yet, but It's looking like chapter 8 will be the end of this series.

As always, I can't thank you guys enough for supporting my writing endeavors. I am thoroughly enjoying crafting this story. I hope you enjoy this next chunk!

Leah woke with the warm Saturday morning sun illuminating her sweet face. Upon recognizing the puffy feeling of her thoroughly fucked pussy, she shot up swiftly, but quietly. Amazingly, Josh was still asleep beside her. The man had clearly not been exaggerating his exhaustion. She slipped out of bed, noting the puddle of her roommate’s cum that had seeped into the sheets, and soaked up as much of it as she could with her socks. She covered the spot with the blanket, hoping it would remain undisturbed until she had a chance to wash the bedding. Taking another moment to scan her surroundings for anything else that might be out of place, she ducked out of the room and headed for the bathroom. Locking the door, she sat on the toilet and released the pent up cascade of semen from her still agape depths. She nervously checked her cycle app, relieved to find that she was once again at the point of least risk. All the breeding talk had been hot as fuck, but Leah wasn’t sure she was actually ready to be pregnant.

As usual, her many complicated thoughts and ideas swirled around in her head as she cleaned herself in the isolated space. What do I do now? Did I mean what I said to Ethan last night? What about Josh? The young girlfriend had never been more conflicted in her life. She felt immense guilt for fucking up behind her boyfriend’s back again, especially this time as she’d cheated as a fully aware and willing participant. At the same time though, there was this undeniable magnetic attraction to Ethan, and she knew she'd never be able to control herself around him. It certainly didn’t help that Josh had been distant with her lately, and though she wanted to connect and help him through it, his grouchy demeanor and unwillingness to talk with her had built resentment. She took a deep breath. Do I want to fuck Ethan again? Yes. One-hundred percent yes. So where does that leave me? Am I really just a cheating slut with no fucking conscience? 

Leah decided at that moment that she had no choice but to tell Josh everything. While she couldn’t deny how thrilling and sexy it was to sneak around and taste the forbidden fruit, she couldn’t live like that. She would just have to find the right time, and the right words to divulge her misadventures to him. Undoubtedly it would mean the end of their relationship, but she knew she was in no position to reject that outcome if it was his choice. Leah cut off the hot water and toweled off her body, feeling some reprieve in her new commitment to do the right thing, even though she still couldn’t picture clearly what it was she wanted for herself.

She emerged from the bathroom feeling refreshed, but nervous and unsure of how to approach the situation. Her inner thoughts were immediately drowned out by the sounds of Ethan excitedly greeting her. “Good morning! Guess what we’re doing today?” His energy caught her off guard, and she looked at him quizzically. “Going on a hike!” He exclaimed. “Where’s Josh?”

“Uhhh, still asleep I think?”

“Well get that boy up! The day’s not getting any younger!” Ethan announced cheerfully. He was already dressed for the occasion and filling up a large jug of water. Leah couldn’t help but smile as she went to wake her boyfriend. Her roommate’s positivity had rubbed off on her, and some time in the great outdoors was exactly what she needed to clear her head. She shook Josh gently and got no reaction, then more forcefully until he finally stirred.

“Wake up, babe! We’re gonna go for a little hike!”

He groaned, pulling the pillow over his head.

“C’mon, please! I think it would be really good for both of us to get some sun and fresh air,” she pleaded. She waited patiently, knowing how annoying it can be to be woken up in such a manner. After some more convincing, Ethan also chiming in with his encouragement from behind the door, Josh begrudgingly agreed to join.

After some further preparations, the trio loaded their backpacks into Ethan’s car, and hit the road. The drive to the trailhead at the nearby mountain, a spot that Leah had been meaning to check out since she moved there, would take just under an hour. In the backseat with her boyfriend, she attempted to lift his spirits with some funny videos that she thought he’d enjoy, but it did little to improve his mood. She hoped the cardio would loosen him up a little. She tried not to dwell on it, but her mind kept revisiting the memory of when she was last in her roommate’s car. Her pussy tingled picturing the way he’d forcefully pulled her on top of him, turning a mostly innocent day together into a steamy encounter.

Before long, they had parked, and stepped into the vibrant daylight. The sky could not be clearer, and the smell of pine trees was a welcome contrast to the usual aromas of their city block.

“Woo! I’m so excited! Thanks for making this happen, Ethan,” Leah exclaimed, bouncing with energy in front of the wooden signpost that signaled the start of the trail.

“Me too! Thanks for coming with, guys,” he responded, taking the first step onto the dirt path they’d be following. “So it’s six miles to that peak over there,” he explained, pointing to a majestic cliffside in the distance.

“Six!?” Josh squawked in surprise. He tried to gauge what that distance might feel like, unable to remember the last time he walked more than a mile.

“Yeah! But we’ll take it slow. No rush at all… We got all day.” Ethan chirped back.

“I can’t wait to see the view from up there!” Leah cheered.

The three of them walked for about an hour straight, bantering about all sorts of subjects. Even Josh perked up a little when Ethan asked him about his current video game, excitedly explaining all of the specific details of the fantasy world he had been immersing himself in. Leah was filled with joy to see him take a break from his recent all-consuming brooding. His nerdy, passionate, overly-descriptive monologue reminded her of the man she had fallen in love with. The joy was quickly leached from her though, at remembering the impending confession that was on her shoulders.

They stopped for a rest at a large boulder that provided much needed shade, dropping their packs and guzzling water. “I think we’re about a third of the way already,” Ethan announced optimistically, stripping his tank top off.

“That’s it!?” Josh whined. He loathed being the slowpoke of the group, and had been pushing his body in order to keep up with his more athletic companions. Sweat dripped down his brow as he drank another lengthy gulp from his water. After a few minutes, the others were back on their feet. They waited for him, but he could tell they were eager to keep moving, pacing around and chatting about what might be ahead. With a pained grunt, the exhausted boyfriend forced himself to stand, refusing to be emasculated.

“Onwards!” Ethan proclaimed, earning a whoop from Leah, and a nearly silent groan from Josh.

The man lagging behind was hit with a pang of jealousy as he watched his bubbly girlfriend bouncing along the trail, setting the pace with his so-called friend. Things between him and his roommate had not been the same since losing his jobs all those months ago, and he partially blamed himself for burdening the man with his problems. He’d confided in Ethan, not being able to foresee at the time the slippery slope that was in front of him. Josh comforted himself with the fact that the twisted agreement had in fact ended, and Leah had in fact returned to his bed every night since then. Perhaps they had just become close friends now, and nothing more, he hoped. He could live with that as a consequence for his actions, as long as Ethan kept his mouth shut. With any luck, as more time passed so would his guilt, and he would be able to repair the damage that had been inflicted on his relationships with both of them.

Another two hours passed, with several short breaks along the way for Josh to catch his breath. Upon completing a particularly grueling set of steep switchbacks, the boyfriend nearly collapsed, managing to catch himself and sit upon a flat stone under the shade of a large tree. His heartbeat was pounding in his temples, and his muscles had all but given up on him. “That’s it…” He wheezed, struggling to gain control of his lungs. “I can’t go any further…”

“Aw, what? C’mon babe, you got this!” Leah encouraged, scrambling over to his side.

Josh wanted to continue, but was at his wits end, the dusty uphill path snaking up the hill and out of sight, seemingly unending. “I’m done,” he said defeatedly.

“We’re almost there dude, homestretch!” Ethan argued in an attempt to embolden him.

“Like, right around that corner homestretch?”

“Well, just under a mile probably.”

“Naw…” Josh insisted, huffing and puffing. “You guys go ahead…” As much as he hated the idea of the two of them completing the hike without him, the thought of being the only reason they couldn’t was worse.

“No, no… I’ll stay with you,” Leah said, trying her hardest to hide her disappointment.

“I’ll carry you bro,” Ethan added.

“Fuck that,” Josh answered, almost cracking a smile at how ridiculous he would feel in that situation. “I don’t want to ruin it for you guys. Seriously, go finish up and come right back. I’ll be right here.”

“Are you sure?” Leah asked, rubbing his soft shoulder.

“Yeah. Just hurry so I can get off this damn mountain.”

“Well… Alright! We won’t be long. Keep drinking water!” Leah kissed him on the cheek, and jogged to her tall, shirtless roommate.

The two hikers, now unburdened by the out of shape third-wheel, made quick work of the rest of the trail. They were now free to openly admire each other’s toned bodies, and weren’t shy about finding excuses to playfully touch one another. They finally reached the gratifying moment where the slope eased into a flat surface, signaling they had reached the peak.

“This looks incredible!” Leah shouted into the wide open vista before her.

“So worth it, right?” Ethan agreed, stepping behind her and wrapping his arms around her torso in a tight embrace. She opened her mouth to protest his sudden show of intimacy, but stopped herself, and enjoyed the comfortable squeeze while drinking in the spectacular view. It felt as though they were the only two people left on Earth, nothing but the sound of the wind passing through trees to disturb them. They stayed like that for a while, catching their breath and basking in the glorious view that stretched for miles and miles around them.

“Thanks so much for arranging this. I really forgot how much I love this,” she murmured earnestly.

“Same here. And it’s especially fun when I’ve got my super sexy adventure buddy with me…” Ethan’s hands started exploring, gently caressing her soft skin and eventually finding their way to her chest. He groped her breasts longingly as his crotch began to swell against her butt. Leah sensed the man’s aggression ramping up by the second, and turned to insist that they head back down the trail and meet back up with Josh. Before she could get a word out, his tongue had forced its way into her mouth, and he kissed her hungrily while mauling her through her sports bra. 

“W-we can’t… Here,” she whispered between kisses.

“We can and will,” he asserted.

“But I’m all sweaty and gross…”

“Pretty sure I’ve seen you much sweatier than this.”

“What if someone sees us?”

“They should be so lucky,” Ethan grunted, hoisting her up by her narrow waist and throwing her over his shoulder. Leah squealed as he carried her away from the cliff and to a more secluded area. He stepped through some bushes and into a semi-private space between a large boulder and some dense foliage. He plopped his smaller roommate down onto her feet, and pushed her against the rough stone. She braced herself against the rocky surface as he forcefully yanked her shorts and panties down to her ankles in one swift motion, and pulled her bare bottom towards him as he dropped his own clothing. He admired her plump creamy ass, kissed by the sunlight filtering through the trees above, before lining himself up for penetration. “I’ve been waiting for hours to get you alone…”

Leah shuddered in anticipation as he pressed his hardness against her slick labia. The way he had manhandled her into the corner and stripped her down had had her pussy gushing. Had he really been planning to ditch Josh so that he could have his way with her the whole time? It was so fucking hot to imagine him waiting for the perfect moment to isolate her so he could use her body. She moaned as he rubbed his firm, velvety cock along her lips, dousing his tool in her beckoning fluids. “Oh fuck…” He had won her over so quickly, her concern about potentially being discovered dissipating like a puff of smoke.

“Mmm… I’m gonna fuck you so good… Look at that delicious little pussy… It’s begging to be filled…”

“Yeahhh. I’m so wet for you.... Please put your big cock inside,” she pleaded, wiggling her ass seductively.

“God you look like such a hot little slut with your hiking shorts around your ankles. Didn’t you know what was going to happen to you when you followed me up here?” He continued to tease her wetness, gliding his dick back and forth along her dripping folds.

“Ohhh yeah… You’re right, I shouldn’t have followed you… Now I’m all alone at the top of a mountain with nowhere to run… Trapped between this rock and my big, horny roommate… Touching me with his hard cock. Unnghhh, I deserve it. I deserve this. Ohhhhh…” Leah groaned as Ethan started pushing into her, his thick shaft splitting her insides apart as she murmured her fantasy. “I deserve thissss…”

“Hohhh fuck… I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to how fucking tight you feel,” he said while sinking deeper and deeper into her.

“Holy shit, you’re so huge,” she responded, her fingertips digging into the coarse stone as the pressure inside her built. Leah’s eyes clamped shut as he forced himself into her welcoming pussy once again. It had only been since last night, no, this morning, she corrected herself, remembering the unbelievably lengthy sex marathon that had taken place until the early hours. “Fuck–Fuck–Fuck!” His powerful head mashed into her cervix, threatening to further defile her inner sanctum. A manly moan sent shivers down her spine as Ethan ever so slowly rotated his hips against her, still buried to the hilt. Then, without warning, he pulled completely out of her, causing her to gasp at the sudden emptiness before plunging back in. 

Ethan established a consistent rhythm, thrusting into the submissive woman’s wetness powerfully. He clenched a fist around the elastic band of her sports bra, holding her torso horizontally as he pounded her drenched little cunt. He reveled in the quick glimpses of her pinkness clinging to his withdrawing shaft, before it disappeared again under the jutting roundness of her ass. “What an impressive grip you have. Your pussy is holding on for dear life.”

“Nnnghhh! It’s because your–Fuck! Cock is so fucking thick!”

“Well you’re the one who's been asking for it all day, in that slutty little outfit, with your tits bouncing around.”

“Ah! No! I just wanted to–Hah! Get a sun tan!” Leah was learning to love the playful back and forth they could maintain while their bodies slapped into each other’s.

“Ohh please. You know what that body does to me…”

“Mmpf! What’s that?”

“It turns me into an insatiable beast! That will stop at nothing until I’ve drained every ounce of my seed into you!” Ethan started bucking even harder.

“Oh my God! Fuck yesss! You-You fucking lured me up here to breed me against my will!?” 

“That’s right, bitch! So I hope you’re ready take a fucking belly full down the hill with you!”

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh FUCK! You’re gonna make me CUM!”

“Let it out you cheating slut!”

“OHHHHFFFUUUUCKKK!” Leah screamed as the immeasurable pleasure coursed through her, that sick, twisted, forbidden pleasure that only Ethan’s cock could awaken inside of her. “MMMMMPFFFFF!” Her moans became muffled as he clamped his hand over her mouth, fucking her relentlessly through her climax. It was too soon to wind up discovered by some random passerby, and he had to take the precaution to stifle the woman’s knack for deafening orgasms.

“Ugh, yeah. That’s what I like to hear. Cum all over my big cock!” Her delicious cream had soon coated his entire length, and he had the urge to make her taste the evidence of what he’d done to her. Ethan pulled out of her still quivering body, pulling her face to his by her ponytail, and kissing her sloppily. He then firmly guided her down into a deep squat. “Suck all of your naughty girl cum off of me,” he commanded. Leah obeyed without hesitation, taking his slimy dick into her mouth and slurping it ravenously. “Mmmm fuck yeah… Taste that? How bad you’ve been enjoying your roommate’s cock that much?”

“Shlck… Glrmp… Glck…” She continued sucking him noisily, telling him she agreed with her bright, submissive eyes. The Leah that had met this man would never have dreamed of doing such a thing, and now she found herself driven towards the obscenity of it.

“I bet you’ve never made such a big mess of your boyfriend’s dick…” She shook her head slightly, her dutiful mouth stuffed as full of him as she could handle. “You’re missing a bunch. Here, let me help you.” He grabbed the back of her head, giving her a moment to prepare, and pulled her towards him. With just a bit of struggle, his head had passed the barrier to her throat, and her lips slid all the way down the the base of his shaft, making contact with the sticky fluids that had collected there. “Don’t forget my balls. Your juicy little clit has been splattering them nonstop.” Leah edged her tongue and bathed his sack, slathering the soft skin with her saliva. “God fucking damn you are a dirty little cocksucker… I love it…” Ethan fucked her face with enthusiasm, all the while admiring the way the daylight sparkled in her dewy eyes. She gagged obscenely, but didn’t seem to lose determination to please him.

Leah was doing her very best to stay relaxed and let him have his way with her. He was tunneling in and out of her throat like it was a sex toy. This was the very exact sort of rough treatment she was becoming addicted to, and her pussy leaked down her inner thighs, aching to be filled again. Thick strands of spit were hanging off of her chin and dripping down into her soft cleavage, reminding her of the times he’d used her as a cum target. The dirtiest depths of her mind longed to be covered in his semen in that public space, completely ruined with his syrupy load all over her. To be forced to hike all the way down the mountain as his depraved, sticky cum slut was the most arousing thought possible at that moment.

When Ethan was satisfied with her thoroughly fucked throat, he pulled her off of him and lifted her to a standing position. He gently wiped the tears from her cheeks while she sputtered, his stiff erection dabbing her midriff with saliva. “Fuck that felt good. Now climb up,” he instructed, extending his thick forearms to signal that he intended to hold her.

“Can you please cum all over me?” Leah asked sweetly, taking hold of the back of his neck and leaping into him.

“Mmm, you naughty girl… I’ll think about it.”

“It’s been a while since I felt it on my skin, and… I dunno why, but I’m so fucking wet thinking about you covering me,” she requested, wrapping her lucious thighs around his hips.

Ethan was legitimately surprised, but elated to hear her appeal for such a salacious and risky thing. He lifted his tool to meet her sopping cunt. “I’ll make you a compromise,” he stated before simultaneously bucking upwards and slamming her down onto his cock.

“Oh my Gahhhhd! So fuuucking gooood!” Leah’s wanton pussy was finally full again, squeezing his invading meat for maximum stimulation. The young girlfriend bounced on her roommate’s cock, her head falling back and her eyes gazing at the blue sky above them. She couldn’t believe she was fucking Ethan atop the peak, no roof to shield her infidelity from the heavens. As he pounded her mercilessly, she could think of little else than the bliss she felt when giving in and accepting her urges. Maybe she could be the good faithful partner, if the pleasure wasn’t this amazing, but that simply wasn’t the case. At the current point in her life anyway, subjecting herself to this dominant man was an unworldly thrill that she could not pass up.

 Ethan was pouring sweat, his efforts costly, especially in the heat of the sun. He continued to fuck up and into her with an unbridled passion though, groping her delectable ass and grunting like a savage. “Ugh. You make a–ugh–fucking great–ugh–cock sleeve.”

“Nngh, Yeah! Use me!”

“I’m gonna–ugh–fuck you–ugh–on every mountian there is!”

“Oh God yes… Oh! Ohhhffff!” Leah began moaning uncontrollably as the ceaseless stimulus moving between her legs only seemed to increase in intensity. She felt him palm the back of her head and guide her lips to his, their mouths docking fervently. The way his tongue forced hers into submission was a newfound delight, and she melted into his arms as he dominated her from both ends.

Ethan could tell she was close as her tongue thrashed wildly in his mouth and her thighs jerked against him. That tight pulsating pussy was just what he needed to cross the finish line himself, and he held true to his consistent movements. The roommates met each other’s thrusts, and kissed fiercely in the small alcove, desperate to get off. Soon they were groaning into one another’s mouths, and Leah’s body began vibrating. He held her head against his firmly, blocking her urge to throw it back as she screamed down his throat. Ethan could tell she was cumming hard, her body struggling to twist and bend out of his arms and extend her limbs. He just kept kissing her and pounding away, eager to join her in the climax.

Leah felt weightless in his arms as her orgasm was detonated. She quivered uncontrollably and squeezed whatever part of Ethan’s skin she could grab first as firmly as she could. Having lost all control of her motor skills, she felt completely at his mercy while his tongue devoured her and his massive cock threatened to split her apart. She was completely numb aside from the overwhelming pleasure clouding all of her other senses. It wasn’t until she felt the tantalizing swell of his thick shaft inside of her, and heard his tell-tale shift in breathing, that she knew he was ready to erupt.

“Ohhhh myyyy fuuuuck! Take it alllll!” Ethan groaned, clamping his elbows down and closing her legs around him as tightly as humanly possible. The hours-long trek with Leah’s appetizing little body bouncing around him, just out of reach, had charged him up considerably. To add to the exhilarating physical attraction towards her, the girl’s joyous, adventurous spirit meshed so well with his, and he felt a deeper connection that enhanced the moment even further. Finally, the physical effort it took to get to the long-awaited payoff had heightened his pleasure substantially. For those reasons, his first release unleashed an especially sharp, long lasting surge of ecstasy from head to toe. Had they not crashed against her cervix, his initial ropes would have likely traveled over ten feet.

Still in the throes of her own climax, Leah relished the taboo sensuality of Ethan’s hot, creamy semen being pumped into her. “Ohh yesss… yesss… fucking gimme all that cummmm…” She imagined his fire hose of a cock recklessly coating every inch of her pink inner walls with virile seed, violating her ecosystem with the dangerous foreign substance. It was such an exquisite way to finish off an orgasm. Just as the pressure within her felt like it had reached a tipping point, Ethan wrapped his fingers around her waist, and pulled her up and off of him. Her legs naturally lowered towards the ground, and he quickly guided her down.

“On your knees cum slut.”

Leah took her place beneath him just in time for a thick string of cum to splatter against her forehead. She closed her eyes and stuck her tongue out as Ethan painted her beautiful face with warm, salty goo. She heard him grunt with each spurt, adding more and more to the collection that was slowly crawling down her skin. Viscous strands were soon hanging from the tip of her tongue and chin, eventually dropping to her chest and trickling between her tits. He had given her what she’d been craving, and she was beyond satisfied to be so thoroughly defiled.

Ethan flicked the last few globs onto her, admiring his plastered roommate in all her glory. He then used the head of his dick to displace some of the spunk covering her eyelids, guiding it to her open mouth. She closed her lips over him, swallowing the load and sucking the residual seed from him. Leah opened her eyes and looked up at him, lovingly slurping him dry and moaning in approval. Even in his post-nut clarity, he found himself absolutely infatuated with her at that moment, a feeling he hadn’t experienced in quite some time. 

She continued to worship his cock for a time, savoring the sensation of being a dripping mess while his wonderful tool slowly deflated in her mouth. “Mmmm… God I love your big cock… Thanks for covering me…” She cooed, kissing the tip once more before rising to her feet.

“You are more than welcome, my slut. Damn, you are really something else,” he murmured appreciatively, grabbing a handful of her plump ass and scooping some more semen into her mouth with his thumb.

“Mmmmpf… Right back at ya,” she chuckled. “Now… As hot as it would be to hike all the way back like this, I obviously can’t have Josh see me dripping with your cum.”

“The poor fucker probably wouldn’t even notice.”

“Hey! Don’t be mean!” She reprimanded him, slapping his glistening chest. Leah pulled out her phone to inspect herself with the camera. “God… What have you done to me?” She looked like a cream-colored wax candle that had been neglected and burning for far too long.

“Only what you practically begged me for.”

“Well I shouldn’t be responsible for what I say when your cock is inside of me!” She argued flirtatiously, scooping the larger wads of cum with her fingers and applying them to the untouched parts of her skin. Leah rubbed his spunk all over her arms, legs, and belly as if it were sunblock lotion, sucking her fingers dry when it was too thick to be absorbed. “How do I look?”

Ethan had been enjoying the show, dumbfounded at his roommate’s comfort in slathering herself in his sperm. She was a shiny, sticky mess, for sure, but amidst all of the sweat from the exercise, it would be hard to tell anything was out of the ordinary. “Actually, pretty good. Oh, you missed a spot.” He pointed to her inner thigh, where a strand of cum had presumably escaped from her cream pie. Leah giggled and rubbed it into her smooth skin, readjusting her clothing in an attempt to prevent further leakage.

“Time to head back?” She asked, with a hint of reluctance.

“I guess so… Wish we could just camp here and fuck all night,” he said, taking her hand in his.

“God that would be so fucking great…” She agreed dreamily.

“Imagine if I captured you, and dragged you up to a secret camp I’d made up here… Tied you up and had my way with you as many times as I wanted…” Ethan suggested devilishly, leading her out of the alcove and back to the trail.

“Oh my God, Ethan. Stop… You’re going to make me even more of a mess than I already am,” Leah demanded, turning bright red but silently hoping his fantasy would become a reality in the near future.

“I know you need more. One last quickie behind that big tree over there?” Ethan teased.

“Shut it! We need to get back to Josh,” she insisted. As they drew nearer to her boyfriend, Leah was reminded of the decision she had made that morning. She had to face it eventually, and cleared her throat to finally broach the subject. “Um… So about Josh, actually…” Ethan remained silent, but she knew she had his ear. “I was thinking… I-I should really tell him… About what’s been going on…”

“I figured it was just a matter of time,” Ethan replied calmly. “I do feel kinda bad for the guy… But…”

“Hm?”

“Well, there’s something you should know…”

His sudden hesitancy had piqued her curiosity. “What?”

“Uhh… Listen. I think we should think it through… Like, how to tell him.” He said cautiously.

“Well, yeah. That’s why I’m bringing it up,” Leah explained.

“Can we just agree for now that we will, but worry about it later?” He asked. 

The fact that she had finally acknowledged the subject openly had already lifted some of the weight from her shoulders. “I guess I can agree to that. As long as we don’t put it off too long.”

“Whatever happens, what you and I have going on… Well… I don’t want it to end,” Ethan stated sincerely.

“Me neither,” Leah concurred.
