“Hey,” she admonishes, slapping his hand, but ends up being scooped off the ground, and invaded by a kiss. I step back to give them some room, but only hit a block of muscle.

“I’m not opposed to that, even though I must admit, I was thinking of a lonely island for our wedding night,” he says, “with nothing but the moonlight and the sound of waves to witness how I make this exquisite woman mine for eternity.”
“How about this, then,” Sade adds, reluctantly putting Justine down. I swear to God, the man would keep his hands on her all the fucking time if life didn’t get in the way. “We celebrate our weddings on a bigger island, and buy two smaller islands for our ladies as a wedding gift.”
“That, my brother, is the best idea you’ve ever had. And that includes that time you came up with the way to hack into Daytona’s DNA test files.”
“I thought that was top secret,” I whisper to him, and he responds with a breathtaking smirk. “It is. But your friends are your family, and if you trust them, so do I. I mean, the only one whose tongue might loosen is Annie, but she’s definitely not listening.”

“Really fucking bad,” I mutter.
“Couldn’t fucking be worse,” Annie says, her shoulders slumping.
Because her secrets have come to haunt her, and it won’t be pretty.
