It had been a long week. With his apartment complex undergoing renovations, Lucas had no choice but to crash at his parents’ house for a while. He didn’t really mind—his parents were always kind, if not a bit overbearing.

Tonight, though, the house was all his. His parents were out celebrating their anniversary, so Lucas decided to enjoy a night out of his own. He hit a bar with a few friends, met a stunning woman, and eventually convinced her to come back to his place—for what he hoped would be a night to remember.

Back in his old bedroom, things quickly heated up. They hooked up, lost in the moment and each other. But just as Lucas was about to go in for another round, the sound of the front door creaking open froze him in place. He pulled back from her lips and sat up, eyes wide.

“Shit…” he muttered.
