“Oh yes.” Jaron sat back, placing his ankle on the opposite knee. “I heard about that.” He paused. “How’s Piper?”
“She just got back from Europe but she’s good,” I told him.
“Interesting. I was just in Paris.”
I thought a moment. My eyes widened. “Wait, she said…”
Jaron only winked.
I laughed.
“What?” Zach frowned.
“Piper said she met someone in Paris,” I told him.
Zach looked between Jaron and I, a chuckle escaping him. “Interesting,” he repeated.
Jaron grinned. “Let’s just say, Paris is my new favorite city.”
“I bet it is.” I liked that it was him she had met up with. Even though he never outright said it. But something told me that it was hard for them. Especially when Piper had been doing her own thing with the twins. Also, as much as I liked Jaron, I had a feeling he wasn’t the type to settle down.
“How are your parents, Zach?” Jaron asked, taking the subject off of him.
“Well…they were doing okay but my dad had a heart attack.”
“Holy shit.” Jaron sat forward. “Is he okay?”
“He is.” Zach reached for me. “Thank God for that.”
I squeezed his hand.
Jaron shook his head. “You know, no matter how old I get, I always forget that our parents are getting older as well.”
My stomach twisted.
“Yup.” Zach looked down at me. “We should get going.”
I nodded.
“Well, it was good seeing you both.” Jaron stood at the same time we did. “Tell Piper I said hi.”

As much as I loved my cousin and wanted to continue visiting with him, I needed to wrap myself up in Luna more. Since finding out my father had a heart attack, I was on edge and on the verge of snapping and losing the very control I had spent years fighting for.
“Zach?” Luna turned toward me as soon as we entered our hotel room.
I leaned against the door, shutting it behind me and clicking the lock into place. “I need you, Luna. I need you in ways that I’m not going to apologize for. I won’t be gentle. In fact, I might even get fucking mean. But right now, it’s all I can give you.” I took a step forward, forcing her back. “But I promise you, I respect the hell out of you. You’re my best friend. The only woman who knows more about me than my own mother does. But right now, this has nothing to do with that. So say the word and this stops. Right now.”
She swallowed, backing up another step. “What do you want to do?” she asked, her voice coming out shaky and unsure.
“Everything, Luna.” A sly grin pulled at my lips. “I want to do everything.”
Luna
ALTHOUGH ZACH AND Ihad sex already, several times in fact, I had a feeling that I was about to get the real him. The part of him that he’s been holding back since the first time he kissed me. Or the beast within that he’s kept in check from the moment he made me come apart in his arms.
