“I just remember how scared I was when I thought you were in the car with Birdie.” A tear rolled down his face. “I love you, Em. I can’t live without you.” He continued moving in and out of me.
“I love you too.”
“I promise to never let you down or betray you.” He deepened his thrusts. “You can always depend on me.”
I had a feeling he was thinking about Raymond and what had gone down between him and Birdie. I couldn’t imagine ever forgiving Raymond for breaking Birdie’s heart. As much as I hated the idea of leaving, I was happy she would be with Saint. Although she had said he was a one and done guy. But who could resist Birdie? Besides Raymond.
“I mean it, baby. You—”
I didn’t let him finish and ravaged him with kisses to help take his mind off his cousin. No one else should be in our bed, except for us. Not even thoughts of other people.
Dante picked up speed and took us over the edge. We held onto the other and moaned through our climaxes.
He filled me with his cum and it dripped down my ass crack. Every time we had sex, we made a mess. I needed to buy more sheets. Doing the laundry every day was ridiculous.
“I love you, Em.” He cuddled me.
“Love you too.” Content and sated, we drifted off to sleep.
I felt a million times better, but in a few days, I’d be bawling my eyes. I wouldn’t think about now…

Some secrets are meant to be kept secret, played in my head as I sat across from Raymond in the bar at the clubhouse. It was Friday night; karaoke night, and Em made me promise not to tell my cousin Birdie was going to Montana. As far as I knew, Storm hadn’t told anyone at Birdie’s request.
But it felt like I was deceiving my cousin, and that didn’t sit well with me. The guy had been in a bad way since the accident. Finding out he was going to be a father hadn’t helped. Tabitha had been calling him at all hours of the day. Everything bothered her about her pregnancy.
She was exhausted. She had trouble sleeping. Tabitha was cranky, and a royal pain in the ass from what I could see. I felt awful for Raymond. The woman was seriously running him ragged with her demands of chocolate shakes and messages.
I couldn’t deal with someone so freaking needy. Of course, I’d never complain about Ember if she had a difficult pregnancy. But I guess that was because I loved her.
“Is she coming tonight?” Raymond asked in a flat tone. He hadn’t seen Birdie in a couple of weeks, and I suspected it was killing her.
“Em says she is.” I shrugged like I hadn’t spoken to Birdie myself earlier today, but I had. Em and I were taking her to the airport tomorrow morning. She’d told me it would be too hard saying good-bye to her mom and dad and didn’t want to be in a car with them for two hours.
“What about your baby momma? Will she be here?” I was confident Birdie wouldn’t enter the bar if she saw Tabitha with Raymond.
“Hell no. I need a break.”
“Troubles in paradise already, cuz?”
“She’s not my person, so you figure it out.” His gaze darted behind me, and I could tell Birdie had arrived.
Raymond gulped thickly, then picked up his beer and guzzled it. He tracked Birdie like a cocaine addict would a bag of white powder, desperate for their next hit.
“Hey.” Em wrapped her arms around my neck and whispered, “I’m going to sit at Birdie’s table with the girls, okay?”
“Sure, baby. Have fun.”
“Thank you.” She kissed me, then left.
“Will she ever acknowledge my presence again?”
“I’m sure she will, eventually.”
Raymond slumped in his chair. “It’s not like I got her pregnant on purpose. The fucking condom broke.”
