You’re Mine by Penny Brooks

Chapter 191

Harper

The moment we all climb off the bus, the bright sunlight smacks me right in the face, making me wince, holding up my hand to shield my eyes.

"Oh God.” Easton slips on his sunglasses, looking sexy as hell despite having slept on a bus for the last three hours.

Sometimes it's painful how good looking he is.

“Thank God we're home.” “Actually, I'm sad we're home.

That went by way too fast,’ Sadie says as we start walking across the parking lot toward Easton's Jeep.

"I'd stay five days in Disney if I could.

Hell, I'd live there.” “You would.” Ryan ruffels her hair, making her duck away from him with a yelp.

“You guys want to come back to my house?"

Easton asks, wrapping his arm around my shoulders as we continue walking toward his car.

“You should come too.” “I'm down,’ Sadie says as she hooks her arm through Ryan's, briefly leaning her head on his shoulder.

“Mom and Dad knew I was going over to Easton's once we got home, my brother tells me.

“Oh.” I pull my phone out, wondering how I should word this.

My parents trust us.

Sort of.

But they wouldn't like it if they knew I was going to Easton's house to sleep.

In his bed.

With him.

Preferably naked.

That would be a hard no from the parents for sure.

“Just tell your mom I'll be there.

She can't say no to that,” Sadie suggests.

Huh.

Knowing Mom, she might.
