“Yeah.” My nerves are still bubbling in my stomach.
Today is a big day for us. The last time I saw these men, he broke my heart, making out that he was done with me and back with Val. My cheeks heat with embarrassment.
I fidget from one foot to the other, gaining Logan’s attention.
“Baby, you good?”
I blow out a breath, shaking my hands out to ease some of the tension rushing through my body. He smiles at me, knowing how I am feeling. Meeting these people is huge.
“I just do not want to mess up.”
He pulls me to him, his arms meeting at the small of my back, mine doing the same to him. Pressing his lips to mine, the kiss is soothing, and much needed. I can feel my body melting against him, and his tongue dips into my mouth, pulling a moan from me.
“I think if I keep kissing you, you will meet my brothers and their women looking thoroughly fucked.” He winks.
“Shit.” I rest my forehead on his chest, catching my breath.
“Glory, come.”
Hand in hand, he leads me outside, and my insides start to swirl again. They swirl for two reason: one, because Logan Vaughan is holding my hand in public, in front of his family and two, I am about to meet said family.
This time with no humiliation, or fighting, involved.
The heat hits us when we step out into the yard of the compound. Streamers hang between the buildings, trees, andpoles. Lights and lanterns are spaced out. There are two bouncy houses: one for a boy, and one for a girl.
“I added our gifts to the table before you arrived.” I nod at his explanation.
“They look like they are having a blast,” I say, watching the million kids running around.
“They are. It also helps that their stepmom, Target’s woman, owns an event planning business.”
I spot the man in question talking to his woman, Madalyn, and another good-looking couple. They are talking and laughing, and it is clear that they are friendly and have a good relationship.
“That is Ruth, and Andrey. She is Target’s ex-wife, and the twins’ mom, and the man is her husband.”
“They have a good relationship?” I wonder, and he nods.
“Yeah.” He smiles down at me. “Come on.” He leads me over to the group, the women smiling as we approach.
“Okay, everyone, this is Stevie. Please… behave.” Logan introduces me to the group.
This makes Target laugh. “No promises. Hi, Stevie. Good to see you when you are not playing Kung Fu Panda,” he jokes.
“Brother.” Logan voice is low, so I nudge him, making him look at me.
“It is fine.”
“Hey, Stevie. I am Madalyn, and this is Ruth, and Audrey. Do not listen to this goof; he can be a dick sometimes.”
“Sometimes?” Ruth whispers loudly, making us laugh.
“Hey, you loved me once,” Target bites out, but there is only humor in his tone.
“Yeah, but I upgraded.” Ruth snuggles close to her husband, who kisses the top of her head.
Aw, that is so sweet. They look hot and cute to together at the same time.
“Like fuck you did. I am prime beef, baby,” Target jokes.
