Shattered Girl (Emmy)

Chapter 140

When we left to head home, I couldn't stop yawning.

"That was fun," I told Patrick as he held the door open for me.

"Yeah? Mom really likes you." Patrick smiled, then leaned into me, giving me a quick kiss.

Sliding his hands under my shirt, Josh massaged my back before grabbing my ass and pulling me toward him. His mouth met mine in a slow, easy kiss, and when he lifted me, I wrapped my legs around his
