“How could we be? It’s a pro move. We’re lucky it wasn’t something lethal.”
“It didn’t have to be. It took you out for the time required for him to get away.”
He chuckled. “I’d like to say you were wrong, but—”
“You can’t,” I finished for him.
“Fucker had his office booby trapped. It’s not a bad idea, actually.”
“Don’t you start booby-trapping your office. Or this house. I don’t want to live that way, Bryce.”
“We won’t,” he promised. “But I have to figure out this whole thing first. Cade Booker and Ted Morse and how they all tie in to Justin Valente and my father. I need to talk to Joe.”
“Yeah, we all do. He’s busy with the new baby.”
“I know. I hate to bother him, but he knows Booker better than the rest of us.”
“He does?”
“Yeah. I can’t say how, but he does.”
“You can’t keep secrets from me, Bryce.”
“I don’t want to, but this is Joe’s story to tell, not mine. Talon and Ryan don’t know either.”
Curiosity pounded through me. “Bryce…”
“I can’t. I’ve already violated Joe’s trust once, and I won’t do it again. You wouldn’t do it to Jade, would you?”
Shit. He had me there. “No,” I said reluctantly.
He threaded his fingers through my disheveled hair. “Thank you. For understanding.”
“I do understand. I don’t like it, though.”
“I don’t like it either. I promise a day will come when there are no secrets between us.”
“Just not today,” I said.
“Not today. But I can give you something else today.” He pulled me to him and kissed me thoroughly.
And a moment later, I forgot all about my oldest brother and his secrets.
Chapter Thirty-Three
Bryce
Her mouth was warm and inviting, as always, and I hardened instantly.
Would we always want each other like this? I couldn’t imagine not wanting Marjorie. Not craving her. Not aching for her touch, her lips on mine, her body gloving me.
I hovered over her and slowly entered her, and then I wrapped her in my arms and rolled us to our sides, so we were facing each other.
I met her gaze, our eyes locking. “I love you so much,” I whispered.
“I love you too.” She cast her gaze downward. “Watch. Watch as you go in and out of me. It’s so beautiful, isn’t it?”
I followed her gaze to our joining. As I slid in and out of her sweet, tight body, I did as she asked.
