Luke’s phone chimed in his pants with a text message. Not even trying to be subtle, Heath, Jake, and Rocco looked over Luke’s shoulder at his phone.

Brenna: How is Mission Abbey coming along

Luke: Been difficult so far, but working on it

Brenna: Don’t strike out

Luke: Trying my best not to

Brenna: Good, don’t give up, keep me posted J

Luke: Will do

Luke felt the three of them staring at him. He wished he could come clean about everything, but he couldn’t. Not right now.

Jake shook his head and spoke to the group. “Don’t bother asking him, guys, he’s not going to tell us anything.”

Not wanting to start an argument, he turned to Rocco. “So, how are things going with Hannah?”

Rocco looked down at his shoes and shrugged. Was he blushing? Luke hadn’t expected that from the big Italian Marine.

Rocco looked up and glared at Jake. “Interesting seating arrangement.”

Jake held his hands up in surrender. “Don’t look at me. Cassie did the seating arrangements before you and Hannah even met. It worked out though. Admit it.”

Rocco just shrugged, looking unsure.

Rocco and Heath needed a pep talk. “Just get some desserts and share with her. You too, Heath,” Luke suggested.

“Luke’s right,” Jake said.

Neither Rocco nor Heath appeared convinced. Luke sighed and tried again. “How about you guys consider this a part of your own reboot weekend, like Abbey said in her speech? She’s agreed to let me reboot with her this weekend.”

Three sets of surprised eyes looked back at him. “But you’re looking for more than a weekend though,” Heath said.

Luke nodded. He sure as hell was. He was looking for every weekend from now on. “I know that, but Abbey’s been running hot and cold on me all day. I got her to agree to the weekend at least. She doesn’t understand that I intend on getting all of them. Yet.”

The four of them moved up in the line. “But first I want to explain to Abbey what she actually walked in on ten years ago. She says she doesn’t care. Says she doesn’t want to hear it. But I don’t want to start anything until we clear the air, you know?”

“Like Brenna said, don’t strike out,” Jake teased.

“Seriously, though, don’t give up,” Heath said.

Luke nodded. He wasn’t going to give up. He never would. He and Abbey belonged together, and that was that. Once he had his chance to clear up the misunderstandings of that night, Abbey would finally let go of all the hurt and anger she’d been holding onto and they could move forward. Happily and together. Like they always would be.

They moved up in the line once more. Luke grabbed a large plate from the stack. “Jake, maybe you better get two plates. Cassie didn’t seem very sharey.” He chuckled and filled his plate with everything the sweet table offered. Maybe some tasty sweets would sweeten Abbey’s attitude toward him.

Luke sat down with his plate overflowing and nearly drooling, not only for dessert but for Abbey. She was about to find out exactly what Luke meant about sharing.

She worried her lush lower lip. Luke’s mind immediately went back to the many times he’d had her luscious lips wrapped around his hard dick. He’d taught his princess exactly how he like it sucked and she’d become exceptional at blowing him. He felt his cock harden in his tuxedo pants. He could hardly wait until he had her in his bed later on. He intended to spend the entire weekend in bed with her. Maybe they could beg off of meeting everyone for brunch tomorrow morning.

“There’s only one fork,” Abbey observed.

Luke nodded. “I know. That’s because I’m going to feed you.”

Her eyes widened. “What?”
