Declan pulled the blanket over his handsome face and said nothing. He had no excuse and didn't want to discuss the incident. Getting caught the very first time he did something sneaky like this… his bad luck was unbelievable.

Halley reached over and pulled the blanket away. “Declan, say something. Why are you watching this kind of video?”

Declan lay on his back, one leg dangling off the bed. Although his posture seemed lazy, a wild, unruly energy emanated from him. Halley snatched the blanket, pressing her body against his as they huddled together.

Declan gave up resisting. “So what if I watched it?”

“You…” Halley was flabbergasted by his shamelessness.

Declan looked at her delicate face. “You can leave now.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Then what do you want?”

“To watch it too.”

Declan’s eyes narrowed as he reached for his phone. He didn't want her to see it. However, Hailey had already pressed play. To be honest, she’d never seen a video like this and was curious.

Declan lunged for his phone, but Hailey dodged. They fumbled on the bed; he ended up behind her, arms wrapped around her.

Halley blinked and said playfully, “Declan, it’s a watch-together.”

Declan stared at her in silence. With that, Halley pressed play.

Declan lay back down. He'd planned to watch the video in secret. Who could have guessed Halley would barge in? Now, things were spiraling out of control. Suddenly, he felt something soft pressing against him. Halley’s flushed face hovered above him as she boldly climbed onto him. Her teeth nibbled her lip before she leaned down and kissed him.

Declan’s strong hands fell upon her slender waist, gripping her firmly. Her legs wrapped around his waist, holding him lightly. Straining his voice, Declan said, “Hailey, we can’t do this.”

Halley gazed into his eyes. “I’ve never been with a man before. This is my first time. Declan, I like you. I want to be with you.” She had said the magic words.

There was nothing more insistent than a beautiful young woman's affection. As she clung to him, Declan felt himself losing control.

Just then, Pamela’s voice called from outside. “Declan, are you asleep?”

Declan quickly pulled the blanket over them both. “Yes, I’m in bed. What’s the matter?”

Under the covers, Hailey heard Pamela say, “Declan, there’s going to be heavy rain all night. The ground will be slippery in the morning. Don’t let Halley go to school alone. Make sure…”

Halley felt a hand gently stroking her neck while her soft lips trailed kisses down to his ear. Declan stiffened, then cradled her firmly and whispered, “Hailey…”

Pamela continued outside, “When you reach the school gates, make sure you keep your distance from her. You can’t let people know that Halley stayed over tonight. It's important. You aren't married yet, so you need to be careful…”

Declan threw off the blanket, startling Hailey. Then, without warning, he flipped over and pinned her beneath him. “Hailey, you…”
