“And what way is that?”

I lean forward and bite down on his earlobe. “The kind where we go home and spend the rest of the night in bed.”

To no one’s surprise, he practically leaps up, bringing me with him, and leads me to Phantom. He presses me up against the door and kisses me until I’m so heated it’s a miracle I don’t melt the paint. “Home,” I whisper against his lips, bracing my palms against the hard planes of his chest.

“I love you. Drive safe, Clover.”

He opens the door for Echo to jump in, his smile curling up when he sees the climbing ropes in the back seat. The sunlight glints off the metal clips attached to them when he lifts them.

“No time like the present.”

There’s no more holding on to things or waiting for the right time for us anymore. Not since the car accident. We both know how quickly life can change, and I don’t want to miss out on any of it with him by my side.

“See you at home. I love you.”

He kisses me one more time before pressing the ropes into my stomach. “Go, or we’ll end up in the backseat again.”
