But she sighed, looking ready to cry. “I do,” she said.

“GGod, I do. I want to be alone with you for days and days. It

would make me so happy, but…”

But what?

She paused, more notifications dinged from my phone, but

I just held her face, waiting for her answer.

“I am a minor,” she pointed out. “Technically, anyway. If

my father overreacts, it could be considered kidnapping,

taking me over state lines without my parents’ permission.”

I almost laughed, intrigued by the adventure, but then

again, she was right. Even if she got over learning who I was

and walked back to this town, her hand in mine, not only

would I have to face the reality that I’d just run away for the

weekend with the mayor’s underage daughter, but that he

would undoubtedly know I’d gotten into her pants.

He might forbid us from seeing each other.

But he wouldn’t press charges. That was drama and gossip

and embarrassing for all parties involved. He’d want to keep it

as quiet as possible.

I was who I was, and so was my father. GGriffin Ashby

wouldn’t take it that far.

And nothing would keep me from her. I’d love to see him

try. I almost looked forward to it.

Fuck it. We were going.

I snatched up her bottom lip between my teeth, a smile in

my voice. “My kind of fun has a price.”

She laughed, looking excited, and nothing mattered more

than where we’d be in a few hours. Alone, quiet, just us.

I didn’t even want to stop at my house for clothes.

My phone started ringing, hers beeped, as well, and she

reached for it, but I pulled her hand back, starting to get hard

again.

Shit. We didn’t have time for this. We had to leave.
