Just as that realization hits me, there’s a frantic knock on the door.
“Oh, fuck me,” James growls as he slides out of me.
I’m momentarily entranced as I watch my sexier than sin woman spring from the comfort of our warm bed and start to pull on my t-shirt and my sweatpants over her naked body. It isn’t until she’s taken a few steps towards my bedroom door do I realize that she plans to answer the door dressed in all my clothes and potentially stake her claim over me to a woman that is very familiar with the fact that she’s my sister.
“Gabrielle,” I say, hopping out of bed and chasing her out of my room. I pin her to the wall and press my naked body clear against her hoping that I ease the sting of what I’m about to say. I cup her face and stare into her warm chocolate brown eyes that have the power to make me do just about anything she asks. I blink my eyes a few times, trying to get out from under the spell she weaves over me. “Baby.”
“J…” she says and my cock twitches at the way that one letter leaves her lips. I drag my thumb across her pouty lips and give her a smile.
“What are you doing?”
Her eyes dart to the door before they meet my gaze. “I’m going to answer the door and tell your little friend, that you will be busy for the night and for all the nights in the foreseeable future.”
“Okay, first of all, longer than just the foreseeable future,” I correct. “But…and as much as I would love to see that in action, Mila,” I drag my eyes to the door where I still hear her knocks and hear the faint sound of my ringtone coming from the other room. Shit, she really must be hammered. “Mila knows you’re my…well, that we are…” I clear my throat because while it’s the truth, I have been trying not to refer to her as my sister since we started this.
Realization must dawn on her because she nods. “Related?”
“Correct.”
She furrows his brows in question and it’s a look I’ve been on the receiving end of many times. She’s so fucking cute. “How? I’ve never met her.”
“Your pictures are all over my apartment. Not only is there visual representation, but your shit is everywhere. My room, the guest room, the bathrooms, the living room. There has been signs of a very present woman here ever since I moved in, which I’ve had to explain to…” I clear my throat again because this isn’t the conversation any man wants to have with their woman. Let alone the woman that was possessive over me even before she let me stick my dick inside of her. “…women that have been here would think that I had a wife or a girlfriend so, yeah, you’ve come up. A lot.”
“I see.” She nods. “Okay, right. I’m sorry, that makes sense,” she says, but I can see the annoyance all over her face that she can’t set Mila straight. “I’ll go back to the room.” She starts moving back to our bedroom when I grab her arm. Her head snaps back to mine and I give her a smirk. “Stay here and listen. Maybe you can’t tell her I’ve met someone, but I sure as hell will,” I tell her with a wink. I jog back to the room to grab some sweatpants and a hoodie before moving towards my front door that’s out of sight from where Gabrielle is standing.
I open the door and I’m actually shocked that Mila is still standing there, though not surprised that she’s on the phone. Her blonde hair is down and curled, falling down her back in waves. Despite the temperatures, she’s wearing a pair of leather leggings and a graphic t-shirt underneath a leather bomber jacket. Her head snaps up. “Oh my gosh! I was just about to call an Uber!” She bounces on the balls of her feet and lunges for me, wrapping her arms around me and I’m grateful she doesn’t try to kiss me. “Thank God.” She closes her phone and tries to enter the apartment past me when I hold an arm up effectively blocking her from entering.
“Mila.” I shake my head and she takes a few steps back. She cocks her head to the side and tries to look behind me before shooting her gaze back to me.
“Oh, someone’s already here…” she says and nods. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had a rotation, I—”
Annoyance spikes because Gabrielle is listening to this conversation and that’s not what I need her to hear.“Not a rotation. I met someone and it’s serious.” I lean against the door jamb. “Very serious.”
Her eyes widen and she takes another step back. “Oh. Ohhhh.” She shakes her head and tucks a blonde strand behind her ear. “I—okay, sorry.” She bites her bottom lip. “I’m super happy for you.” She smiles, though I see her eyes becoming glossy with tears. I’m not sure if it’s because she had feelings for me or the alcohol or a combination of both. “Can I meet her?”
“Yeah, that will be a no,” I tell her. “It’s still new but it’s also unnecessary. She’s very aware as to why you’re showing up at my apartment at two in the morning.”
“I didn’t know.”
“Which is precisely why I’m here instead of her. She wasn’t happy about it.”
“Right, of course. Duh!” she says smacking her head. “I should go.”
I nod. “I think that would be best. Are you okay to get yourself home?”
She nods before pulling out her phone again. After a moment, she looks up at me. “Wait, we slept together like three weeks ago. How can it already be serious? Unless of course, you cheated on her!” she whispers, assumedly so my mystery woman wouldn’t hear which is nice in theory but it irritates me that she’d even say that.
“I’d never cheat on her. It’s new but it’s serious and that’s all you need to know about it.” I’m getting more irritated the longer she’s here, so she needs to realize that this isn’t going to end the way she imagined when she showed up here unannounced.
“I see.” She swallows. “Well, okay then. Bye James.” She waves before moving down the hallway. I almost feel bad for her when I hear her pull out her phone.
“Hey, I’m coming over.”
I close the door and let out a deep breath, unsure of what I’m walking into when I see Gabrielle sitting on the floor against the wall where I left her. She stands up and I can see the sadness on her face. “Three weeks ago?” She bites her lip and it’s not in the usual sexy way but in a way that lets me know she’s trying to stop herself from crying. “That was like a week before we…”
“Baby, please don’t be upset. I’m sorry. I had no idea that the following week we’d be here. I had no idea that I’d ever have you.”
She frowns. “I waited my whole life for you.”
