“Say you love me!” she demands.

Laughing harder now, I hold my hands up in surrender. “Okay, okay. Love you. There… happy now? Please don’t throw a tantrum.”

“I do not throw tantrums!”

Aston and I exchange identical looks, but she glares at both of us.

“Okay, fine. I hate all of you. I’m going for a wee.” She storms off dramatically.

“Too much information, cuz,” I yell after her.

I glance toward Aston and notice the completely lovestruck expression on his face while he watches her walk away.

The idiot looks gone.

Completely and utterly gone for her.

Honestly? I like seeing that.

“So how’s everything going with you two?” I ask.

Aston looks back at me, and the smile on his face reaches all the way to his eyes. “Amazing,” he says. “She’s my light, man. I’m so fucking lucky she gave us a chance.”

Jesus Christ.

Another lovesick idiot.

“So… serious serious?” I ask knowingly.

His grin widens instantly. “As in, have I been using your advice?”

“Exactly.”

He laughs and nods proudly. “Yeah, every single thing you told me works perfectly.”

“Oh my God.”

“I’m serious!” He laughs. “Every spot you said to touch works exactly how you said it would.” I bark out a laugh. “We haven’t actually had sex yet, though,” he adds quickly. “We’re waiting for a while. But everything else…” He shakes his head like he’s overwhelmed. “Holy shit, I didn’t know being in love could feel this—”

“Orgasmic?” I supply.

Aston bursts out laughing. “Yeah! Exactly that.”

I slap his shoulder. “Well, just take care of her. I don’t need to give you the whole ‘if you hurt her’ speech because I’m sure Colt’s threatened your life enough already.”

Aston snorts. “Only about a thousand times.”

“All I’ll say is be careful and always use protection when the time comes.”

“Yeah, definitely.” He smiles softly. “But Annie wants to wait. She made a promise to Dee, and I respect that. So I’m willing to wait.” He pauses before grinning. “I just hope it’s worth it.”

I smirk instantly. “Oh, mate, trust me. It’s worth the wait.”

Before he can reply, Annie suddenly reappears and cuddles herself into Aston’s side. “What are you two wanks talking about?” she asks suspiciously.

I roll my eyes. “You’ve developed a horrific potty mouth, you know that?”

She grins proudly. “I’m a rock star now, Caleb. You should try it sometime.”
