“Tell me that I’m the only one who’s seen every inch of you.” He nipped my bottom lip.

I yelped, my eyes welling.

He smirked, licking the spot soon after. “Tell me.”

“You’re an asshole,” I muttered, pushing away from him.

He chuckled, tapping my butt lightly. “Thank you for the key, Queenie. I’ll stop by later. I have some things to do first.”

I nodded. “Okay.”

He pulled me back into his arms, placing a soft peck on my cheek. “I’ll see you later.”

I knew I had no reason to react the way I did but when I had been told, quite often in fact, that Gigi had been dating that Matt fucker, I was on edge. Now knowing that Ashton and Aiden could come and go from her house as they please, didn’t sit well with me. I wanted her in a spot that no other guy had been in. I knew that the twins wouldn’t touch her. Ididknow that, but it didn’t mean that the ugly beast called jealousy, didn’t rear his ugly head. She made me possessive to the point all I could think about was taking her from there and tucking her into my arms to keep her safe.

When I saw her fall from the ladder, my world flashed before my eyes. If something happened to her before I could tell her how I truly felt, I would never get over it. But her walls had been built up for a while. It would be hard to get through to her, no matter how hard I tried.

After I left Gigi at the center, I drove to my parents’ place. I was supposed to stay and help the twins and the other guys with some work The Dove Project needed, but this was more important.

When I pulled up in front of my parents’ home, I killed the engine and ran up the sidewalk just as the door opened.

Both Mom and Dad were coming out of the house.

“Hey,” I called after them.

“Vince?” Mom smiled. “What are you doing here?”

“I actually wanted to talk to Dad, but it looks like you’re both leaving,” I said, coming to a stop at the base of the steps.

“Nope.” Dad kissed Mom on the temple. “Your mom’s heading to the center. I’m staying here to do fuck all.”

Mom laughed. “Right. I’ll come home to a completely renovated backyard or something.”

Dad chuckled. “You never know.” He winked.

She shook her head. “Your dad’s been bored since he retired.”

“I’m a hands-on kind of man. You know that, baby girl.” He waggled his eyebrows.

Mom rolled her eyes, her cheeks reddening. “Yeah, yeah.” When she reached me, she cupped my shoulder. “Don’t let him convince you to help him renovate anything. Okay?”

“I won’t, Mama.” I kissed her cheek and followed my dad into the house.

“Something’s wrong.”

I sighed. “I wouldn’t say something’s wrong exactly.”

“Does it have to do with Gigi?” Dad went into the kitchen, pulling two beers from the fridge. He handed me one and leaned against the counter.

“Uh…I don’t turn twenty-one until tomorrow,” I reminded him.

“I won’t tell your mom, if you don’t.” He winked, taking a swig of his beer. “Besides. She wouldn’t care anyway. You’re home. You’re safe.”

I nodded, slowly taking a sip of the beer. I swallowed the liquid, bubbles popping in my nose. It wasn’t overly hoppy. It was light and fresh, good for a warm summer’s day.
