Chapter 50

“Do you want to kiss me?” Riva whispered.

Above them, the bed creaked as Benton shifted his body.

Daisy swallowed a moment of revulsion and focused on Riva. “Yes,” she said. She had wanted to kiss Riva so much, for so long. She told herself the circumstances didn’t matter.

Riva waited. Daisy felt confused. Last night, Riva had seemed so ready to kiss her—she’d nearly done it twice. Now, she seemed to expect to be on the receiving end. Daisy’s inexperience weighed heavily. She wanted to kiss Riva so well, she forgot about Benton hovering above them like a circling vulture. She wished her mouth could bring back the girl she’d been getting to know. She also wanted to kiss Riva so well that Benton burned with jealousy. She wished the power of her lips could shut him out of the room.
