I giggle and he pulls me in for a hug, before leading me to the backyard. We sit down and he lights a cigarette, and I watch as the wind carries away the smoke.

I turn to him and smile. “So, what’s up?”

He doesn’t look at me, he keeps his focus on the pool and I’m starting to get a little nervous. He takes a big drag and blows it out, before looking at me quickly. “I talked to my, I mean our, dad. I told him you were here, and he wants to meet you.”

This takes me by complete surprise. I honestly didn’t think that he would want anything to do with me. I mean he just left and never looked back. Part of me is kind of excited that he wants to meet me, but the other part is nervous for how that encounter m

ight go.

“I mean if you want to meet him. It’s totally up to you,” he says, breaking my thoughts.

“Oh, yes. I mean I’d like to meet him, I guess I’m just surprised he would want to meet me. You know?” I say, biting my cheek.

“He’d be an even bigger asshole if he didn’t want to meet you,” he says, making me smile.

“Will you be there?” I suddenly feel like a child who needs someone to hold my hand.

“McKinley, I will always be there for you.” God, how did I get so lucky, I think looking at this man who just accepted me as his sister with no reservations. “You let me know when you want to meet, and I’ll have him here for dinner. How does that sound? Bring Braden, because obviously, London will be here.”

I take a deep breath and reach my hand out to him. He grabs it and squeezes it. “Okay, that sounds good. I am free tomorrow night if that works for everyone else. I think it’s best to just do it and not drag it out, because I’ll admit I’m nervous,” I say, giving him a weak smile.

“Tomorrow it is. Don’t be nervous, I’ll always have your back no matter what. That’s what family does,” he says and stands up to give me another quick hug.

“Thanks, Blake. I couldn’t have handpicked a better brother.”

He releases me and smiles. “Oh, believe me, I know. I’m the best there is.”

We both laugh and sit back down. We bullshit for the next hour about everything and anything. He’s so damn easy to talk to and even though it’s only been a few months, I feel like we’ve known each other our whole lives. I wish we had grown up together and could share the memories like Kallie and Braden do, but I’m grateful to start making memories now.

Braden texts me, asking me to come over for dinner. I’m relieved to see that he isn’t hiding away. I tell Blake I need to go. He walks me to my car and tells me he will be in touch tonight to iron out the details of dinner tomorrow. I thank him again and head home to shower before going to see Braden.

After a long shower and doing my hair and makeup I head over to Braden’s. When I pull up, I see his mom’s car is in the driveway and it makes me smile. I love the connection he has with his family. He may have grown up without a father like me, but the way he is with his mom and Kallie is admirable.

I walk up to the door and it’s cracked open, so I let myself in. I can hear music playing and laughing, so I follow the sounds and it leads me to the kitchen. I am rooted in place when I see Braden dancing with his mom. They laugh as he dips her back. My heart swells watching them, the love they have for one another. I’ve never had that before, and it truly is amazing to see.

Braden looks over and notices me standing there and a huge smile spreads across his face. He looks down to his mom and kisses her cheek, stepping aside and holding his hand out to me. I can feel myself blush as I take the few steps to him. He wraps his arms around me and starts to slowly move to the music. He bends down and kisses me quickly before looking into my eyes. “Damn, I’ve missed you,” he says, pulling me closer.

“You kids are just beautiful together. As much as I’d love to stay, I am meeting some friends for dinner,” his mom says.

Braden never once lets go of me as he says, “Thanks for the talk Mom. Have fun. I love you.”

My heart starts pounding in my chest when he tells her he loves her. Almost like I wish I was hearing those words from him and that’s when I realize, I love him. I am completely and utterly in love with this man. I didn’t think it was possible, but here it is.

When the song ends, he slowly brings his lips to mine and kisses me with everything he has. My entire body takes notice and I kiss him back with all the love I feel for him, even if I’m not willing to say it, maybe this way he will know.

He rests his forehead on mine, and I smile up at him. “I missed you,” I say, feeling overwhelmed with feeling in this moment.

“Baby, believe me, I know. We have so much to catch up on, but first, I need you,” he says and lifts me up.

I wrap my legs around him and he sits me on the counter. He lets his hands wander up my legs and I’m so thankful in this moment that I decided to wear a dress. Especially when he gets to the top of my panties and pulls them down my legs, letting them fall to the floor. He slams his mouth to mine as his fingers begin a slow tease of my already wet pussy. The more he rubs me, the wetter with need I get.

He breaks the kiss and nips a path down to my breasts that are begging to be touched. When he nips my nipples and I scream out.

“Braden, I need you right now,” I moan, gripping onto his hair.

He doesn’t say a word, just pulls away long enough to get his pants and boxers off. He rolls on a condom that I have no idea where it came from and I could care less right now. The need I have for him to be inside me is gripping me, taking over.

Grabbing my hips and pulling me to the edge of the counter, he pushes my dress up, exposing my dripping pussy to him.
