Lacey had a wine cooler in her hand, it was the night of her seventeenth birthday party and the party was incredible. There were people dancing, swimming, hooking up all around her. It may go down in Green Grove History. Lacey donned a simple white bikini but she had on about a hundred of Mardi-Gras themed necklaces. She was covered in glitter (Regina's idea) and her hair was in a messy bun on the top of her head. Her makeup was immaculate (thanks to Sarita) and she was having an amazing time. She kept looking out at the party and watching all of her friends and even some strangers having a blast. She wanted everyone in attendance to have the time of their lives, a night they would never forget.

Lacey looked over and saw her best friend Jo sitting on the edge of the pool, Jo couldn't swim so she likes to sit out of that activity. Tyler was lurking around her, but she didn't seem to mind. Lacey giggled at Tyler's advances. He was hot and all, but he was also known as a total skeeze, and Jo knew that. People whooped and hollered and Lacey looked over to the direction of the noise. Some girl had just taken off her top and was jumping into the pool. Lacey rolled her eyes and took another swig of her handy drink.

She soon realized something was missing.

It wasn't like she had just realized this was missing. She knew since last week but that didn't help her feel a bit of a gaping hole in her heart. She already missed him and he had only been gone for a few days. He wanted to go to her party and celebrate with her, but his grandmother wanted him to come and stay with her for the month of July. Lacey tried to keep her disappointment to a minimum. She thought this would be the summer of her and Danny. They had a pretty intense make-out session in the fort before he left. Lacey tried to not cry. She tried to compare herself to a wife whose husband was leaving for war. She knew that Danny wasn't going to die or anything, but she liked to imagine their relationship as more intense than everyone else's.

Their relationship was intense. They had known each other all of their lives, had a barely present father figure, and were both extremely charismatic. Jo blamed their charisma on their good looks and confidence, Danny agreed. Lacey was much more humble.

Danny used his charisma to get into trouble. He would sneak out and break into cars, without stealing anything, and he once skipped class to get his ear pierced. He informed Jo and Lacey that the next thing he wanted to do was a tattoo.

Lacey was charismatic in a way that made every adult love her, made everyone younger than her aspire to be just like her, and made girls her age roll their eyes in jealousy. She had a silky smooth voice and a smile to match. Everyone always joked that Danny and Lacey could rule the world one day. He agreed, of course.

The two of them had always liked each other. When they were seven they kissed for the first time at his mom's Christmas party. It was slobbery and lasted for exactly four seconds. Danny's dad had even got it on tape. When they were twelve he asked Lacey and Jo to be his dates to the dance. They both agreed but he spent most of it with Lacey and held her hand the whole time, but Jo didn't mind. She had a crush on the new kid in school named Rico. But for the past few months, they haven't been able to keep their hands off of each other, Danny would take his moms car and pick up Lacey. They spent hours in that car hooking up. But they had never gone all the way. He had never asked her and she never hinted at it. She was content with where they were sexually, but she wouldn't mind going farther. They were one of the few people in the "popular crowd" that were still virgins. Everyone assumed Danny wasn't, because of his bad-boy lifestyle, but he was. He always joked and said that he was saving himself for someone special.

Lacey looked over and saw Jo standing up to leave Tyler. She was looking at her phone and grinning making her way towards Lacey.

"Lace! I have a surprise for you!" she squealed and grabbed her glittery friend's arm. Lacey set her drink down on the windowsill beside her and followed her blonde friend closely.

"Oh god, Jo. You already gave me a present, you don't have to give me-" Lacey stopped talking and she broke into a huge smile. She was so happy she could cry.

There Danny was, with his hair pulled into a bun and a big smile on his face. He was tanner than usual, and his hair was especially moisturized. He handed Jo the small gift bag he was holding and rushed towards Lacey, enveloping her in a huge bear hug. She laughed and wrapped her arms around his waist. She wanted to hold onto him forever.

"I missed you so much," he mumbled into her neck. Lacey giggled and tightened her hold on him.

"I missed you too Danny. How are you here?!" she asked as she reluctantly pulled away, but she still kept her hands on the sides of his hips.

"My mom bought me a plane ticket at the last minute because she knew I didn't want to miss it. I came here straight from the airport," that would explain the small carry-on suitcase next to him. Lacey couldn't stop smiling. He gave Jo a hug and then Lacey took the bag from her hands.

"I'm going to put your gift upstairs," Lacey said and began to walk away. She bounced up the steps toward her bedroom happily and swung the door open, she tucked the bag neatly in the front of all her presents. She lingered in her room a bit when she heard people in the room next to her. Teens were so horny they would hook up in her younger sister's bedroom. Lacey turned around to leave the room and kick the teens out when she saw Danny in the doorway. He was leaning against the hinge giving her a smirk. She felt her knees get weak.

His eyes traveled up and down her body and she felt a bit self-conscious from her lack of clothing. She crossed her arms and gave him a pointed look.

"What? It's a pool party," she reasoned and he chuckled and shook his head.

"Then why are you covered in glitter and necklaces?"

"Because I'm the birthday girl. I have to stand out," she jutted out her chin defiantly but smirked back at him.

"You stand out anyway," Danny said while looking at the floor. Lacey's heart skipped a beat and she didn't say anything. Danny looked back up at her with a bright smile, "ready to get our party on?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

Lacey didn't want to go back to the party downstairs. She wanted Danny to herself because she had missed him so much. She walked towards him and pulled him into her room fully. She closed the door and pressed her back to it, facing him. She felt nervous. They were never in a room alone together with a bed. And the air was thick. Danny was facing her with his hands in his pockets. He had a confused look on his face.

"I don't want to go back to the party," Lacey chewed on her inner mouth and didn't look at him. Her fingers drummed on the door. She had said it much lower than needed, she sounded like she needed a glass of water.

"Then what do you want to do, Lace?" He said easily. Did he really want her to say it? Would Danny really torture her like that? Lacey sighed heavily and was contemplating giving up and going back to the party. She didn't know Danny was just as turned on as she was.

Lacey didn't answer him, but she wouldn't look at him either. He stepped closer to her and she could feel her lungs tighten. She was cold and hot at the same time. Danny was only about an inch away from her when he took her chin and turned her gently towards him. He entwined his other hand with hers. She was still flush against the wall. Lacey felt like she lost all of her senses.

His warm lips leaned in and met hers. She moaned into the kiss and used her free hand to stroke the back of his neck. He willed her mouth open with his and soon they were kissing passionately against the door. He could taste the liquor on Lacey's lips and he drove his tongue further into her mouth. Lacey clutched onto Danny as his tongue further explored her mouth, she let her hand trail down his chest and to his lower abdomen. Danny groaned into the kiss and they broke apart. Lacey kissed the side of his mouth and the stubble on his chin down to his neck. She left wet kisses and made her few marks on his skin. Danny had let go of her hand and had his holding onto her hips.

He met her lips again and they continued their heated kiss. Danny felt himself getting harder as he moved his hands further south to grab onto Lacey's ass. He pulled her partially off of the door and their bodies were incredibly close. Lacey didn't know how much longer she could stand up so she moved them both towards her bed. She crashed down on it first followed by Danny, who had his knee placed between her slender legs. He hitched her knee against his hip so that he could feel along her skin and widen her legs. She moaned at his touches. She felt her nipples harden and she wanted him to touch her. She wanted to be with him in a way that she hadn't yet.

They had been close to having sex before, but Lacey felt a new hunger deep inside her. Him being gone for most of the summer made her miss him so much more.

"Can you take these off? Please," he sounded like he was begging, but the necklaces were getting in the way of their activity. Lacey broke the kiss and pulled all of the necklaces off from her neck and tossed them onto the floor. Danny grinned before taking her lips to his again. She took his hair out from the bun and tossed it somewhere in the room. Danny rocked himself against her. His jean covered crotch met her bikini. Lacey reached down between them and began to unbuckle his belt, Danny tried not to be shocked by her actions, but his breath hitched in his throat and he broke the kiss to look into her eyes. He knew a different side of Lacey than most people.

He silently asked her. Lacey's eyes were barely open and he thought she looked so sexy. Her lips were a bit swollen from the kissing and were slightly parted. He gazed at her and stroked her cheek, then he moved his hand down to her chest. He kissed her neck and nipped at her collarbones, his hand met the stringy ties of her bikini top. He pulled them loose easily and threw the skimpy top somewhere in the room with the rest of their discarded items.

Her breasts were released from the confines of the tight top and Lacey felt more than exposed. She had taken off his belt but removed her hand to cover herself.

"Lacey, let me see you," he whispered into her ear. She couldn't breathe again—she couldn't believe they were actually doing this. She moved her hands slowly and Danny moved his lips so that he could kiss between her breasts. He took one into his hand and ran his thumb over the hard nipple. He played with it until he heard her moan, he then hovered his mouth onto her and licked and sucked. Lacey clenched her sheets and ground her heated lower body against his own anatomy. Danny ran his teeth over her and then switched sides giving her other breast the same attention.

She felt one of his hands reaching down her stomach and to her bikini bottoms. He palmed her mound and she almost cried out. His fingers moved her juices from her heat all over her clitoris, gently sliding his lithe fingers through her lips. He lightly pushed his indexer into her, hearing her stiffen then soften to the intrusion. He added another finger and Lacey thought she was going to melt under him, the discomfort quickly morphed into an intense pleasure as he applied pressure to all of her walls.

"Take this off," she said raspily and he lifted his shirt off of his body swiftly. She pulled his mouth down to hers and pushed her chest against his. He groaned at her warm body against his. Danny felt the pressure in his pants wanting to make itself known. Lacey grasped for his jean buttons and pulled them down easily. He kicked them to the floor and was just in his boxers now, and Lacey was clad in her bikini bottoms.

"I have something…" He said and tore his lips away from her. He got halfway off the bed to look in the pocket of his jeans. In his wallet was a condom his mom had given him a few weeks ago.

Lacey had sat herself up on her elbows and looked at what he was doing. She smirked when she saw the condom.

"You carry the condoms now?" she joked. Danny grinned at her and the memory she referenced as he pushed his hair off of his face. They made eye contact and Lacey soon sensed the weight of the situation. They were going to have sex.

"Do you want to use it this time?" he asked shyly. Danny was never shy, not about anything. But his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were bright. He was breathing slightly hard. Lacey felt herself get wetter just looking at him. She sat up on her knees and reached for the bulge in his boxers. She kept her eyes locked on Danny's and took a gulp of air before she pushed her hands past the thin cotton material and felt his penis. It was warm and pulsating. She stroked it up and down and released him fully from his confines. She broke eye contact to look at what she was doing. The friction was too much so she spits into her hand to make her stroking more fluid. Danny moaned loudly at her ministrations but pushed her lightly back onto the bed. She kept her hand on him when he began kissing her again. Their tongues fought and they both sighed into the kiss. Danny untied the strings on the sides of her bikini bottoms and moved his hand down to her wetness. Lacey yelped but allowed him. He used a finger to explore her lower anatomy, carrying the wetness around her. She shuddered when he rubbed at her clit. She broke her lips from his so that she could breathe and moan at the same time. He kissed down to her breasts again and rubbed her off. Lacey clutched onto his hair while quickening her stroking on his dick. Danny would break his sucking on her nipples to moan. He knew what would drive her crazy. With their experience fooling around before, Danny knew her body better than she did.

"Oh Danny," she cried when he rubbed his lower body against hers. His dick twitched when he felt her wetness and he wanted nothing more than to be inside her. Lacey watched him as he opened the condom and slid it on top of him. She gulped and bit her lip. She was nervous now. Her legs were wide open and she felt empty in the pit of her stomach. He gave himself a few strokes and placed himself at her entrance. She didn't know if she wanted to lean back or watch.

"Watch me, Lacey," he said. His voice was hoarse and his breathing irregular. He looked just as nervous as she did. She moved forward to give him a reassuring kiss.

He pushed himself into her slowly. Lacey cried out from the pain. She clenched her eyes shut and fell back onto the bed. She felt tears threatening to spill. She knew she had to adjust, relax, do what Regina told her to do.

"I love you, Lacey," Danny said leaning his forehead on hers. Lacey stared into his eyes and tried to smile.

"I love you too, Danny," their lips met and they kissed passionately. He was fully inside of her and she was no longer a virgin. Neither of them was.

He began to move against her and he grunted. It still hurt a bit, but Lacey tried to focus on the pleasure more than the pain. She moaned and began to move her hips with his. She felt like he filled her to the brim like it was too much for her.

"God, Lace, oh, ugh," Danny breathed into her ear and placed his hands back on her hips to steady their fucking. He went faster and they both moaned in unison. Skin hitting skin and the slap of his balls on her. She arched her back and he tilted his position in her. He looped his arms around her waist and they ground closely on each other. They met lips again and tongues battled for power. She wrapped her legs around him and he was trapped in her—not that he wanted to be anywhere else he just felt himself getting lost in the motion. He would worship her body. They both grunted and moaned into the motions of their lower bodies. The bed was slightly moving on her hardwood floors. Lacey felt herself getting closer when the door to her bedroom suddenly swung open.

"OH MY GOD!" She saw Regina and Sarita at her door. They were standing with their jaws dropped at the position Danny and Lacey were in. The two girls shrieked.

"What the fuck! Get out!" Lacey shouted and the two girls giggled and slammed the door shut. Danny already had let go of her waist and she had unwrapped her legs from around him.

It all happened so fast. One minute they were enjoying their first experience together and the next he was across from her on the bed not even making eye-contact.

"Sorry they are so obnoxious," Lacey started and sat up in the bed, pulling the sheets to cover her bare body.

Danny turned and glared at the sheets but he still didn't look at her. He stood up and began putting on his clothes.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No, God Lace, no. I just…" his look softened and he buttoned his pants. He sat down next to her and kissed her gently.

"I know what you're going to say," and she did.

"Then I won't say it."

Lacey would: "You were going to say this went too far and it was a big mistake and—"

"No. This wasn't a mistake. Nothing with you is ever a mistake, Lace." He gave her a small smile. Lacey nodded.

"Why are you acting like this then? I wanted to be with you, Danny. This is a big deal for me."

"It's a big deal to me too, Lace, you know that. I wanted to be with you just as much, maybe even more. I've liked you since we were kids. I just think this, " he made a motion indicating them with his hands, "we need to slow down."

"We've been going slowly for months," she snorted and ran a frustrated hand through her hair.

"I want things to be real between us. I want us to be committed. I love you, Lace, but –"

"I think you're running out of lines, Desai. Thanks for coming by. It's been real." Lacey stood up with the sheet and picked up his shirt still not on his body. She showed him to the door and Danny sighed and tried to say something, but Lacey just pushed him closer to the door. He took his shirt from her hands and left the room.

When he left she cried. She didn't think she had cried this hard in her entire life.

Lacey shot up out of bed, looked around her room, and gasped the same breath she was holding in her dream. She turned the alarm on her phone off and laid back in bed, trying to digest the memory she just relived in her dream. She was sweaty and slightly aroused, thinking about her first time with Danny for the first time in a while. She angrily snatched off her headscarf to begin her Monday and get her mind off of the vivid memory.

CAR WITH JO

"So Rico was asking me the other day if you think it would be a good idea for him to go for Treasurer of Student Council," Jo said while absentmindedly drinking the smoothie that Lacey wanted for breakfast. Lacey laughed at the thought of Rico going for Student Council positions.

"I think he would be a good fit; they basically do nothing. We all know the most hardworking positions in an organization are VP and secretary," Lacey replied automatically. Jo rolled her eyes at her friend's popularity logic. Danny used to be treasurer before he was kicked out for disciplinary reasons, but Jo didn't want to remind her of this.

Recently, Lacey had been very standoffish about talking about Danny. Jo had hardly been with both of them at the same time since Lacey's birthday party. She knew something had happened once Danny followed her upstairs and she didn't see him until he was rushing out the front door- not hearing Jo yelling at him for a goodbye. When Jo asked him about it, Danny pretended he didn't know what she was talking about, and how he had at least two drinks with her before he left. Jo knew she was right but was also pretty drunk and he could've been telling the truth.

Anyway, she still missed her friends and had to change that.

"What are you doing tonight?" Jo asked.

"I'm not sure, I think do some homework and stay in. I don't think I have anything planned because my mom is being super strict about my grades this year," Lacey replied.

"Tell her we will be studying at my place and we can order dinner?"

"That sounds amazing!"

"Okay good, Danny was going to come over so I am so glad you could come!" Jo replied and intensely watched Lacey's facial expression change as she processed her friend's trick.

"You're good, Masterson," Lacey admitted. Jo lifted her chin proudly and they pulled into the school.

Lacey immediately spotted Danny when she put her car into park and got out. Jo was still speaking absentmindedly, and Danny met Lacey's eye. He was talking to some of his teammates, leaning against his car. His car and all of the crazy memories they shared in there.

It was 11:45 pm and April was coming quickly. Danny and Lacey were sitting in his car at the riverside of their town, sharing a blunt. They were laughing about the politics in the Student Council and the upcoming election. They had been spending more time alone together rather than with Jo or any of Lacey's new friends

"Emily Renner could win just because she's objectively hot," Danny said, and Lacey laughed. He laughed too because it was funny, but he was also high as hell.

Lacey hit the blunt, "You're just saying that so you can work under Emily Renner," they laughed more, then the conversation lightly subsided.

The silence was peaceful, with no awkwardness. They could always have a comfortable silence with each other and understood each other through their vibes. Danny sighed and Lacey turned to him. He was staring at the roof of the car.

"Thanks for coming out tonight, it was super late but my dad was just being the asshole that he is," Danny said quietly.

"I'll always come if you need me. You know that we're best friends," Lacey said and playfully nudged him. She was smiling brightly and Danny looked over to her into her eyes. Her playful expression subsided. Danny was staring at her and it made her slightly uncomfortable, in a way that seemed like he was about to kiss her.

Ever since her dad caught them kissing in Jo's room, they haven't really addressed their feelings for each other. They both seemed to not want to accept it. They weren't completely sure why, but it was a silent agreement to leave it.

Danny's eyes moved from hers to her lips. Lacey stopped breathing, to make matters worse (or better) Cigarettes and Coffee started playing on the radio. Danny was moving closer to her and paused. She could feel his breath and he kissed her deeply. She lightly moaned into the kiss and didn't realize she missed the feeling of their lips together that much. They sunk themselves into each other. One of his hands on her upper thigh and the waist. Her hands were on either side of his face and she pulled him closer into her. He was rubbing the skin covered by clothes, wishing that they weren't what was between them.

They did it again.

They were now flush against each other. Danny felt his skin getting warmer while kissing Lacey, he's been holding himself back for weeks, wanting to do so much more than kiss her. Danny couldn't think about anything other than Lacey's soft lips, and the way her hair smelt, and how they practically fit together like a puzzle piece. She was the most comfortable person in his life. She was with him through everything, always offering a layer of support that went past friendship. They just didn't notice it until they let themselves try.

The kiss was interrupted when Lacey's phone started to ring. She pulled away from the kiss, annoyed when Danny started to kiss down her neck. Lacey dropped the phone she just picked up and Danny's mouth traveled further and further down her neck, onto her chest, and at the top of her breast. She wanted to rip his clothes off and have sex with him in his car. She had never felt this way about a guy before. Any of her past flings would try and hook up with her and she was uninterested. But Danny was in a different league. He knew her heart, her soul, and she wanted him to know her body.

She pulled his head back towards her and kissed him deeply, almost straddling him in the process. The car was starting to get hot and their kisses more urgent. She let her hands fall to his chest and felt the muscles that he was just starting to focus on. She wanted to feel all of him and her curiosity pushed her to think of what was under his pants. She wanted to have sex with him, just like that. He wasn't even her boyfriend; he was her best friend! Something changed in her and she knew they had to stop before they could ruin their friendship and make another mistake being horny teenagers

She abruptly pushed Danny as he was making his way back to her lips. Lacey covered her neck with her hands with shock on her face. Danny was lightly panting after kissing Lacey so hard. He ran his hand through his hair, annoyed they didn't go further.

"We had t-"

"We had t-"

They both were saying the same thing. Danny chuckled and Lacey took some deep breaths.

"We had to stop. This couldn't go further. Like, what would happen with our friendship? Jo would be pissed, our parents would freak out too!" Lacey let all her emotions out, thinking of every minor or major problem that could've happened if Danny stayed kissing down her chest. Danny just thought about how beautiful she looked even when she was in panic mode. Her frantic movements and heated face were making him want to shut her up and kiss her more.

"Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, I went too far," Danny said, meeting Lacey's eyes. She lost her breath again, "I really wanted to kiss you again. We were stopped by your dad the first time and I just couldn't stop thinking about it—"

"You wanted to what- kiss me?" Lacey said quietly.

"Yeah."

There was silence and it was awkward this time. They stared at each other for a few seconds, unsure what to say to the other next, after Danny's admission.

"Well, maybe we should keep… kissing," Lacey said, unsure of where her sentence was going. Danny's eyes lit up and Lacey laughed a little. She didn't know why she said it, but it was truly what she wanted to happen after this makeout session.

"Lacey Porter, this will definitely not be the last."

Lacey snapped out of the flashback she had. She shook the image of Danny's car, and the countless things they tried with each other.

"UGH!" Lacey said out loud, which she realized when Jo started looking at her incredulously.

"So I guess that's why you've been silent since I told you Danny would go with us for burgers and shakes."

"No, no it's fine. I've missed hanging out with both of you guys, too. Tonight will be fun," Lacey lied, and Jo let out a sigh of relief. Even if Lacey was mad she would still force her to come.

"There's the spirit!" Jo said, and they laughed and headed into the school.

LUNCH

Danny had to be quick. He was in the bathroom of the library, with Sasha, having sex on the sink. Sasha was being loud, and Danny had to keep shushing her so they wouldn't get arrested for public indecency. She was bent over and Danny had her ass in his hands as he pounded her from behind. He always loved this position, loved how impersonal it can feel when he had his mind wander to other things. He could take out some frustration while satisfying his oversexed girlfriend.

Danny couldn't lie and say he didn't enjoy Sasha's libido, but it wasn't good for him knowing he could get it at any time, no questions asked. He would always ask of course. She would only say yes.

He started thinking about Lacey and their interaction over the weekend. He always missed her, and he knew it wasn't the best idea for him to come over to her place. She was a huge temptation, but he felt guilty for even thinking about her. He didn't deserve her. He was the guy that had sex in the library during school hours. He practically forced his nut and quickly pulled out of Sasha, to her chagrin.

"Danny what the hell I'm not done yet," Sasha said annoyed. Danny started slipping his pants back on from their former spot around his ankles.

He felt grimy and was overcome with more guilt and shame. He felt awful stuffing his dick into one girl and thinking of another the entire time. Every second he spent with Sasha was a reminder that he fucked up. He was getting tired of his antics and the reputation he built over the past few months.

"Sasha you were being loud as fuck I didn't want to get caught," Danny said as he buckled his belt. He already had detention later this week for skipping class, and any more trouble he could be kicked off the soccer team. Sasha got down and slipped her skirt back on. She went to put her arms around Danny- but he was almost halfway out of the bathroom.

"I'll come over later," Danny said abruptly and kissed Sasha's cheek. She stood in the bathroom flabbergasted with her arms crossed, as her boyfriend swiftly walked out on her during sex. She groaned and headed out too, toward her next class.

Danny, however, quickly emerged in the main hall naturally, as if he wasn't in the library's handicapped bathroom having sex with his girlfriend. He had been with a few different girls after he had sex with Lacey. Danny had practically come back to school in September with a couple of bodies under his belt, including Sasha. He became a man whore, as Sasha's sister Sarita said.

He knew what he wanted. Lacey. He still had to figure out if it was love like he told her when they were having sex, or if he lusted after her. He remembers that night and how they went farther than they ever had, before her party. In his car, they would always hook up but stop if it got too far. Before he left for Arizona, he would pick up Lacey every other day to drive around and make out, and "play" as he liked to call it.

The windows were foggy, and Lacey's legs were resting on Danny's shoulders as he ate her out. Lacey's soft moans filled the car as Lauryn Hill sang through the speakers. It was the night before Danny had to leave for Arizona, and they were "playing." Danny had developed a talented tongue over the past few months he and Lacey had been hooking up. They weren't hooking up with other people, so their talents were directly correlated to what the other found pleasurable.

"Fuck, Danny," Lacey breathed and held his head in place over her. Her eyes fluttered closed as she felt herself getting close. They had only been through two songs and she felt herself getting weak. With only a few flicks of his tongue, he had her like putty in his hand.

He would lick her so deeply, sticking his entire tongue as deep as he could inside her while sucking her lips. He loved hearing her moans and quivers, and all of the wetness that spilled from her.

Danny felt her getting closer. He had two fingers slowly stroking inside her, and his tongue at her clit and surrounding inner labia. He could honestly say he enjoyed giving, and the feeling of bringing Lacey to her climax made him hard. Usually, they would switch then make out and would almost make it to penetration then stop.

He wrapped his other arm around her thighs, holding her in place as he quickly pumped his fingers inside of her. He sucked on her clit and ran his tongue up and down the length of her vulva, stopping when he reached her perineum. He wanted to lick her everywhere, but didn't know how to introduce that to their "playtime." He knew he could eat her ass well, but it just depended on what Lacey would allow and feel comfortable with.

"I'm going to come," Lacey gasped and Danny clasped onto her thigh harder, making sure she couldn't wiggle from his grasp. She cried out his name and he felt her juices overflow down his chin. He didn't stop until she went through her full orgasm, knowing she was almost done when she lightly pushed at his shoulders. Too weak to actually push him off from the intense pleasure.

Lacey caught her breath before she was able to kiss Danny again, she didn't want him to leave for an entire month, and miss her birthday!

"Do you have to go?" She muttered in between kisses. Danny pulled her close to her sitting on his lap. She felt his hardness and got a shiver.

"I wish I didn't have to," Danny replied. They sat there for a while arms around each other, kissing softly.

"Before you leave, I brought something," Lacey said and leaned into the other seat to her bag. She reached inside and pulled out a condom. Danny's eyes got wider.

He started laughing.

If Lacey could, she would be completely red.

"Why are you laughing!? This is just a natural progression in hookups! We both knew it would get here someday," Lacey cried and Danny continued to laugh. He felt tears welling up in his eyes from the comedy he felt in the conversation. Lacey pouted in his laugh before starting to move off of him.

"Nevermi"

"No, Lacey. I'm not laughing at you, just at the situation," Danny said in between his chuckling.

"Then why are you laughing?" Lacey hit his shoulder, but couldn't help but smile too.

"I never expected you to be the one with the condom. I assumed I would be the one- or if I would try to not use a condom at all."

"Of course you should use condoms are you crazy? I'm not one of those girls that hop on birth control at thirteen!" Lacey rolled her eyes, Danny continued smiling at her before he inched toward her again.

"We can use it, if you want to," he leaned against the side of her face. Kissing her neck down to her collarbone. He was able to nudge her legs apart to place his hand on her mound. Lacey moved her lips toward his, and they got closer together where she could place her hand on the bulge in his pants. She started undoing his belt and he went to take off his shirt. Lacey kissed his neck to his collarbone her hand moved enough clothing aside so that she could lightly stroke him. Danny moaned when her mouth finally met his cock.

Danny snapped out of his thoughts. He had a girlfriend, that he liked, kind-of a lot. And just this weekend he and Lacey decided that they would only be friends and that no one really knows about their past relationship. No one knew about it either. Other than Sarita and Regina, no one knew that Danny and Lacey would hook up almost every day after the first kiss in his car. It was good that no one knew about them being together. Danny liked seeing Lacey talk to other people or kiss other guys and he would remember everything else her mouth did.

"Danny!" Jo said and Danny turned his body around to wave. She skipped up to him with Rico following behind her, finishing his sandwich.

"Hey guys," Danny said coolly to his old friend and her groupie. He joined their movement and the trio walked to the courtyard to finish their lunch.

"So, I told Lacey this morning that we are going to hang out and be a group of friends again so you can't object because she agreed and we are going to have a great time," Jo said in a single breath. Danny froze.

"I see the look on your face, but we used to have so much fun together, why can't we do it again?" Jo pleaded. Danny sighed and nodded. Jo clapped her hands.

"Can I come with you guys?" Rico asked, meekly.

"Of course!" Jo exclaimed.

Rico smiled but looked uncomfortable. Danny decided to address it.

"You okay, Rico?" Danny asked.

"Yeah! I'm totally fine. It's just…"

"What?" Jo pushed.

"I kind of like Lacey…" Rico admitted. Jo looked at Danny. Danny tried to show no emotion but Jo saw his knuckles go white as he clutched the phone in his hand.

"Lacey Porter?" Danny asked. Jo looked back and forth between them. Rico didn't sense Danny's anger and he looked innocently at the lifelong friends.

"Yeah, what other Lacey is there at this school?" Rico replied with a slight chuckle. Danny stood up abruptly from the table and started walking away. He was making his way toward his next class when he saw Lacey walking his direction.

Danny quickly walked toward her and grabbed her arm pulling her into the closest classroom before anyone could see them.

"Danny, what the hell?" Lacey said and snatched her arm away.

They stood in the closet just staring at each other before Danny broke the silence.

"I just, uh- I wanted to, uh, talk to you about… tonight, and food," Danny said. He looked more closely at her when she rolled her eyes.

His eyes traveled over her body and stopped at his favorite parts. All he wanted was to kiss her or touch her. Danny didn't mean to but his hand reached out to her and gripped her waist. Lacey gasped as they got dangerously close to each other. She didn't push him away, and both of his hands traveled to her hips. Their lips were close enough to connect, Lacey thinks his lips rested on hers for only a nanosecond. She felt the pit in her stomach appear that was gone for so long.

She pulled away for a moment, so they could look at each other. Danny stared into her eyes looking for an "ok" for him to kiss her and touch her. He couldn't find it, but she wasn't pulling away. Lacey needed to make the next move before he advanced any further onto her.
