"Are you into drugs or something? I mean, that's the only way you can have that much money!" Her voice carries through the room. I can tell she's scared.
Drugs… They always think you do drugs when you have money.
"No. I don't get involved with drugs. I have a trust fund, Bresin, and can use the money however I see fit. When I got access to it, I invested. I made a lot of money, but it doesn't matter. What is important is that I am doing what I have to in order for you to be protected." I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her body to mine. "Just trust me.”
Hearing a knock on the door, we turn to see Beck poking his head inside. “Your brother is here, Jag.”
I groan as I press my lips to her forehead before walking toward the door.
“Jagger?” Her voice stops me in my tracks.
“Yeah?” I ask, turning to face her.
“Please, be careful. I don’t want to lose you.”
I walk back over to her and press my mouth to hers, kissing her softly. “You won’t lose me,” I breathe out against her lips as I pull away. “I’ll always be here for you.”
"I love you."
Hearing the words come from her mouth is almost as much of a shock as it is a relief. I think she shocks herself when she realizes that she just said it out loud. She covers her mouth with her hand, her eyes going wide.
"I… I… I didn't mean to–"
"Don't," I whisper against her lips. "Don't take it back." I nip at her lower lip. "Say it again." She closes her eyes for a second. When she opens them again, I see something different in her expression.
"I love you, Jagger."
My hand tangles in her hair. I pull her lips to mine, my tongue slipping into her mouth. I kiss her until we both gasp for air.
"I love you, too," I whisper. When I pull away, I see the blush covering her neck and cheeks. "You coming out there or staying in here?" I nip at her jaw, making her giggle. Grabbing her hand, I lead her back out to the kitchen where I see Beckett, Maddox, and Dax drinking beer and laughing.
“Should I come back after you guys are done gossiping like bitches?” I ask.
"Fuck off, Jagger. Your brother is pretty cool for some young punk."
Of course they think he's cool. Sometimes they do this shit just to piss me off, but right now, I don't believe they could. My girl just said she loved me. I mean, I've known she's been in love with me for a while, but she'd never dare say the words before. I'm not sure if it was because she was afraid of me turning her down or what, but fuck, I’m glad she finally said them.
Two weeks ago, I almost walked away from her because of the damn secret I've been keeping for years. Now I don't know what I would do without her. The need I have for her is unlike anything I've ever felt, and I love knowing that she feels the same way about me.
"Everything is set," I state as I take a seat on the barstool. I position Bresin between my thighs and grab my glass, taking a sip before handing it to her.
Dax watches Bresin and me, but I just ignore him. He found out Bres and I were together the day he met her, then when he tried to start shit with her and Ireland. That reminds me…
“What did you want with Bresin and Ireland before, little brother?” All eyes move to him as we wait for his answer.
“I was looking for an in with you. I had heard Bresin was always with you guys, except when you were at parties looking to score the next lay of the night. I thought she was the best bet. I didn’t expect you to show up and piss all over the poor girl.”
“Didn’t want the riffraff to move in on my girl.” I smirk at him.
“Please. Like she sees anything other than you. I knew that from the moment I saw you two together. If these idiots didn’t realize it years ago, they must be blind.”
“Fuck you.” Maddox throws up a middle finger before grabbing another beer and popping the top.
“We ignored it for a long time, thought it was just another teenage crush…until we saw them together a few weeks ago. Bresin has always had a soft spot for your big brother.”
"Maybe if I would have just claimed her ass when she turned eighteen, there wouldn't be this video out there." I run my hand down her thigh. "I should have killed the little bastard instead of just putting him in the hospital," I mutter more to myself than anything.
“Is this kid who made the video that one you beat the shit out of when you found out she lost her virginity to him?” Beck asks with a grin. I shrug. "Fuck. It is, isn't it?" I shrug again. He shakes his head. "I swear…”
