Communication is fucking awesome.

“Should I text the guys to leave the house tonight?” Troy teases, but I don’t take the time to answer. I need to get home to my Ash.

I maybe drive a little too fast back to the frat house, hoping Ash is there. I can’t believe I left this morning without making sure he knew everything is okay between us. Yes, I texted him later, but that’s not the same.

Some of my tension eases when I pull up in front of the white, two-story house and see Ash’s car out front.

I jump out of the car, and the second I’m inside, he’s there, sitting on the bottom of the stairs like he was waiting for me. Ash shoves to his feet, his sweep of bangs slightly messier than usual.

“I love you!” we say at the same time, then laugh.

“Okay, we’re kinda awesome,” I add.

“More than kinda.” Ash sits back down on the second step, and I join him.

“I’m sorry, Ash. I know I’ve been distant the past few days. It’s not because of you. I’ve been scared…and I don’t know why I didn’t tell you that. It’s what we do. What I do. I got upset at you for committing a Step Don’t, and now I did the same.”

“You’re not perfect, Col.”

“I want to be perfect for you,” I admit. It’s true. I want to be everything Ash needs.

“And you are. You’re everything I want. Everything I need, but you’ll make mistakes, and I will as well. I’ve been distant with you too. Neither of us talked to the other. We both stewed in our emotions and didn’t do the one thing we do best…well, that and sex.”

“We’re fucking great at that too.” We laugh together.

“Seriously, though. These things are going to happen, Col. That’s what being in a relationship is, but we can’t lose sight of who we are and what makes us us. That’s how we’ll stick together, how we’ll make it work—by being open and honest with each other.”

I nod, knowing he’s right.

“I talked to my mom. I didn’t tell her about us, but she knew.”

Wow. Lauren knew about us? I’m surprised she saw it, but then maybe she sees more than she shares. “Is everything okay?” I reach over and grab his hand. “She didn’t make you feel bad, did she?”

“No. She was great actually…well, as great as she can be. She supports us. She believes in us, but she also reminded me that this is life—maybe we’ll work out and maybe we won’t, but that’s true of any relationship. That doesn’t mean we throw in the towel now. We fight for each other, and we fight together.”

I rub my cheek against his. “You be the realistic one, and I’ll be the idealistic one, because that works for us. We fit together that way, and as the idealistic one, I’m going to remind you that we will work. That we will be together forever. We won’t lose each other because that’s not us, Ash. Together, we’re the ultimate Step Do.”

He grins, like seriously a smile so big that I think it might swallow his face. “That’s so cheesy.”

“Bet it made your pulse speed up. You can’t pretend you don’t love that shit.”

“I love it from you…my Big Man.”

“My little perv.” I take Ash’s mouth with mine. My tongue pushes past his lips, needily, hungrily.

Our mouths don’t part as he moves forward, sitting on my lap and straddling me on the stairs. He grabs for my hair, knocking my cap off as we move together, swallowing each other’s needy noises.

I’m pretty sure all the blood in my body rushes straight to my groin, cock going hard as stone behind my track pants. I grab his ass, pulling him closer. “Touch me.”

“What if I don’t want to? What if I want to make you suffer…wait…” He dances his fingers slowly down my torso.

“Please…” I don’t care how fucking needy I sound for him. I am.

Just as he hits the bottom of my shirt, his hand pressing against my cock, the front door shoves open.

“Oh fuck. Not again. You two are the horniest sons of bitches I’ve ever known.” Lance comes into the house, followed by Payton, and surprisingly, Brenner and Taylor.

“We were gonna have makeup sex,” I tease.

“Very funny. You two don’t fight,” Payton replies.

“They probably fake-fight just so they can make up again,” Lance adds.

“I’m trying to get over the not-again part. Is this a thing you guys do? Walk in on them having sex?” Brenner asks.

“Only if you’re lucky.” I wink.

“I mean, if you’re looking for an audience, I’d take one for the team. I think Tay has been curious lately. What do you say? Wanna have us watch you and Ash together?” Brenner pumps his brows at his friend.

“You’re ridiculous, and I think there’s something wrong with you,” Taylor replies, but I swear his cheeks look slightly pink.
