“I love you. I can’t promise that it’ll be smooth sailing all the time; there’s a lot of shit that I need to work though in my head. One thing I’m certain of though, is how I feel about you. I want to be with you, Brody, for the long haul. I want everything you mentioned in that voicemail, and then some. If you can manage to forgive me, I want to start right now.” She gives me a shy smile. “So...what do you think?”

“Well, for starters, I think you should kiss me,” I say with a smirk. “Then, I think we should go somewhere a little more private so you can show me what you have under this fuckhot dress.”

She has the cutest little giggle. “You’re an idiot.”

“True. But you love it.”

“I do.” She wraps her arms around my neck and plays with the short hairs at the base of my skull. “Now shut up and kiss me.”

“Anyone ever tell you that you’re hot when you’re bossy? It’s—”

Rainey doesn’t let me finish my sentence which is perfectly fine by me because my mouth is otherwise occupied.

“It’s about time you two got your heads out of your asses!” a deep, familiar voice shouts.

We break apart from the kiss to find Drew and Devyn approaching our table. Jesus, these two are really good at being sneaky.

I flip him off. “Just wait until it happens to you, asshole.”

Drew laughs. “Never gonna happen, dude. But I’m glad to see that we no longer have to deal with Grouch Ass One and Grouch Ass Two. That’s what we’ve been calling you, you know.”

“Lovely,” Rainey says as she rolls her eyes.

Devyn chuckles. “When I told Drew how much Rainey was fighting the idea of going out tonight, we put together this little plan to make you two talk. Since you were both being such stubborn asses, we had to do it on the sly.”

“Well, thank you,” I tell them honestly. “Really. I owe you guys big time.”

“I second that,” Rainey says. “Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have some makeup sex to get to.” She looks up at me and smiles. “You wanna get out of here, Brody?”

I pull her into me so she can feel how anxious Thor is to get out of here and get into her.

“Honey, I thought you’d never ask.”

Chapter Fifty

RAINEY

Well, it’s official. I’m taking a chance on love, although it really isn’t much of a gamble. More and more every day, Brody shows me that he’s all in and then some. As odd as our pairing is on the surface, Brody and I click so seamlessly it’s almost nauseating. And let’s not forget about the sex. The sex is still mind-blowing.

Every. Damn. Time.

You kind of hate me a little right now, don’t you? That’s okay; I would too.

I sigh when Brody’s strong arms wrap around me. “You almost ready to go?”

I lean into the mirror to carefully apply my lipstick. “Yeah, I should be ready in five.”

His hands tease the hem of my sweater dress. “My mom will kill me if we’re late but it might be worth it.”

We’re spending Christmas Eve with his parents about twenty miles south of the city, and then we’ll head over to my parents’ beach house tomorrow morning and stay for a couple of nights.

I meet his eyes through the mirror. “What are you talking about? It’s only a thirty minute drive; we don’t have to be there for an hour.”

He bunches the knitted fabric over my hips and runs a finger under the strap of my thong. “What I have planned for you will take a lot longer than half an hour.”

I drop the eyeliner when that finger dips inside of me to gather my arousal then starts making circles over my clit.

I grip the counter with both hands and moan. “Jesus, Brody.”
