“Really?”
“Really. He knows the score. He’s your brother, Max. Just like me. It’ll be fine, I promise.”
My heart feels a little lighter again. That massive ball of worry that constantly hangs in my chest seems to have lessened some.
“He wants to see Cassy too. To apologise.”
“Yeah, he never needed to bring her into it,” I agree.
“Damn right, he didn’t. I can put up with a lot of shit from you boys but the minute anyone starts on my girl that’s a no fucking go. Brother or no brother.”
“I know, Finch. I know you’re good for her. Hell, she’s fucking good for you too.”
“I’m glad you think that.” He looks into my eyes and nods. But there’s a strange far-off look in his bright blue eyes. He wrings his hands and then spears his fingers through his dark mop of curls. He’s nervous all of a sudden. He clears his throat.
“Max, I want to ask you something, and I know it’s something I should have asked a long time ago and I should have had this conversation with you when I first wanted to date Cassy and I didn’t, and I know knowknowthat was wrong.” He takes a breath. “But your sister, she means the fucking world to me. She’s like the sun and I feel like I’m just spinning around her all day. I know I’ve known her a long time, but she’s given me the honour of getting to know her and sharing her beautiful world with me. Her happiness, her heartache and every damn thing in between. I’ve given more to her than I’ve ever given anyone in my life. She knows things about me that I was scared to even admit to myself. She’s my world. My fucking muse. I adore her. I love her so God damn much, Max. I—”
“Finch!” I smile wildly. Knowing exactly what my best friend is about to ask me, his heart on his fucking sleeve. Love so wide and evident in his eyes.
“Max, I want to—”
“What are you two talking about?” Ali interrupts us before I can hear exactly what he’s going to ask, and I can give him my answer. And if I wasn’t already sure of what I was going to say to him, the look that Finch just gave Cassy as she and Ali appeared from the dance floor answered it for me. Pure adoration. I wink at him before turning my attention to Ali and giving her a very long once over.
“Nothing, Angel,” I mumble as Ali takes a seat down next to me. Her thigh touching mine, my body suddenly on fire. The sparkling tension so thick around us. I lean into her, whispering in her ear. Resisting the urge I have deep inside me to nibble at her lobe a little. “You save a dance for me, gorgeous?”
“May have done,” she mumbles back, her green eyes almost black with how diluted her pupils are right now.
“May have done? You either did or you didn’t, baby?” I ask as her hand trails straight up my thigh. Higher. Higher. Fuck me. I breathe in. Holding my breath as her hand continues its journey so close to my fucking rock-hard cock. Her voice is a moan in my ear.
“Max, we’re going to dance, I’m going to taste your mouth again, the same way you devoured me outside. We’re going to dance until I’m begging.”
“Begging for what, baby?”
“To get me out of here.”
“And take you where, my Angel?” I whisper into her mouth as I get closer.
“To bed, rock star.”
I swear my cock twitched in reaction. Halle-fucking-luyah.
