“Your channel. If you want it, that is. I can tweak it.”
He’d written custom music for me? “It’s awesome. It’s amazing. It’s perfect.”
Brandon chuckled. “I’ll send you the file. Give it a few more listens and make sure, then let me know.”
“Thank you. I mean it—thank you.” I was being a dork. I didn’t care.
The hinges on the back door creaked, and when Brooke walked in, I forgot everything else. Rude of me, but she was here, watching me with a shy smile, looking more stunning than I remembered. I didn’t care that it hadn’t even been a week, I couldn’t pull my gaze from her..
“I’m gonna go.” Brandon’s voice barely penetrated my thoughts.
“So soon?” My protest didn’t have any force behind it.
“I see that look on Danny all the time. I wear it a lot myself. You don’t want me here right now.”
I really didn’t. “Thank you.”
“For not being a cock block?”
Brooke flushed at Brandon’s question.
I laughed. “For everything.”
Brandon left, but I was still watching Brooke.
“Hey,” Brooke said softly. Her voice was lyrical. “Is this a good place to talk?”
Maybe later it would be. I didn’t have the words for what I needed her to know. I cupped her face in my palms, and pressed my body and mouth to hers, pushing into her until her back hit the wall.
She gasped into the kiss, and I stole the chance to dart my tongue into her mouth and devour her sighs. She gripped my shirt in her fists and held me close. Not that I planned on going anywhere.
Brooke was a lifeline and I’d been drowning without her and had refused to admit it. I nipped at her lips and licked along her skin and held on for dear life.
“I don’t care,” I said breathlessly. “I don’t care what it takes. I want you, I need you, and I’m never letting you go.”
“I don’t want you to.”
Her lips were already swollen, and my nipping at them made them puffier and softer and if possible, more kissable. “Good.” I dragged my thumbs along her cheekbones. “Because I love you. I’m desperately and completely and hopelessly in love with you and I’m not letting you go.”But…I worked my jaw.
“But what?” Brooke asked, despite the fact I didn’t speak the word aloud.
I wasn’t sure I should say. This was so close to perfect, but I wanted it all, and I had to try. “Keep that in mind, how very much I love you.”
“You’re going to have to finish the thought eventually.” Her tone was light.
I could call on the lack of her saying it back, but I wouldn’t force that. “But I love Deacon too. I want you both. He doesn’t know that. I wasn’t sure I knew it until just now.”
“Me too,” Brooke said. “That’s why I’m here.”
This time my kisses were more gentle. “That’s a cop-out. You have to actually say what you’re agreeing with.”
“I love you too. Even though it hasn’t been long, not talking to you destroyed me. I can’t imagine not having you in my life.” She leaned her weight into me. “But Deacon… I want him there too.”
I let out an exaggerated sigh. “I can only see one solution for our future.”
Brook looked worried. “What’s that?”
“We’re going to have to tell him he’s ours.”
