Connor My boundaries with Patrick had gone from a slightly blurred friendship to all kinds of fucked up and weird in the past twenty-four hours, and I’d decided I was just going to lean into it. If Patrick was my boyfriend for the next three days, then I was going to act like it. Although if he really was my boyfriend, I wouldn’t have quickly jerked off in the shower last night thinking about him. I’d have walked back into the bedroom, dropped my towel, and crawled into bed with him. I’d vaguely considered that I should feel guilty for getting off on ideas of fucking Patrick, but I was going to file that under “this weekend’s fucked-up boundaries” and keep it there. It was like the whole “what happens in Vegas” mantra, except it was what happened in Devon. The consequences of my actions could all be ignored until Tuesday at the earliest, at which point I’d probably just drown my sorrows in cheese, gin, and terrible Netflix movies. Besides, there was a good chance if I hadn’t gotten off last night that I’d have woken up really horny this morning, and that would not have worked. Especially considering I was sprawled over Patrick with my dick pressed against his thigh. Patrick shifted underneath me, letting out a sleepy little sigh. I flicked my eyes up towards his face, wondering if he was awake yet or still dreaming. Patrick had always looked hella fucking adorable when he slept, and I wasn’t going to miss out on getting my fill now. I tilted my head slightly, casting my eyes up and across his round face. His grey eyes flickered open behind his long lashes, blinking at me sleepily. He smiled and sighed, his arm wrapping around me to pull me momentarily closer. “Mornin’,” he muttered, voice still thick with sleep. “Good morning.” I knew I sounded perky—the sort of perky that made most men want to turf me out of bed for being too awake or immediately demand a blowjob to help them wake up too. The more I thought about it, the more I realised I’d just dated assholes and fuckbois in the past. Once upon a time, I’d thought I had standards, but apparently not. Patrick smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. “Do you want to get up?” he asked. “Or can I keep you for another two minutes?” “Hmm, I’ll allow it,” I said with mock sincerity. “I might even let you keep me for five.” “So generous.” He laughed, his body shaking gently. “What time is it?” “I have no clue. I haven’t actually moved yet. You’re too comfortable.” “It’s nice to know my purpose in life is to be your pillow.” “It’s your secondary purpose.” I snuggled into him again. “Your first purpose is to bake me cake.”
