Daphne: I’m so happy you guys worked through your shit.

Chloe: Thank the freaking gods. Now how about you listen to all of us next time when we tell you you’re making a mistake?

Carys: No next time. I promise. I’m never letting go again.

Maddie: That’s so romantic. I want to fall in love.

Daphne: You wanna get laid, Mads. Love can come after you pop your cherry.

Carys: You guys are crazy.

Chloe: But you love us.

Carys: Damn straight.

I barely finish putting away the dinner dishes when the doorbell rings, and Ford walks thru by himself. “Hey, Ford. No Jessie tonight?” I’m selfishly relieved. I’m exhausted.

“Hey, Carys.” He hooks an arm around me and squeezes. “Nope. She picked up a shift at the hospital for a friend.”

“Okay. Well, I’m going to bed.” I lift up on my toes and kiss Cooper’s cheek.

“It’s eight o’clock.” Emerson looks outside as if to make sure she’s right. “And you just woke up a little while ago. Are you feeling okay?”

“I’m fine,” I promise. “Just tired and listening to my body. Give me a few hours, and if you need me, I can get up with Elodie after that.”

“No. We’ll be fine. Go to bed. I’m going to see how she does tonight. Tomorrow is a big day. We get to leave the house, don’t we, baby girl?” She smiles down at Elodie in her arms. “We’ve got the doctor’s appointment in the morning, and then I want to stop by the other house. I think I want to move back there before Jack and Theo get home and figure out a way to stop me.”

“They mean well, Em.” I defend the boys. Knowing how protective they are of her.

“I know. But I’m going to need to do this on my own at some point, and I don’t want my brother or anyone else putting their dreams on hold for me.” I read between the lines and know I’m theanyone elsein this scenario.

“Okay. But wake me if you need me.” I get a stern look from Em and Coop and decide to make my exit before I press my luck.

I strip out of everything but my shirt, climb into bed, bury my face in a pillow that smells like Cooper, and immediately feel sleep pulling me under.

Strong arms wrap around me during the night, and I hum as my lips press against a very bare chest. “What time is it?”

“Late. Ford just left.”

I wrap my body around Cooper’s. “Is everything okay?”

“Nothing to worry about tonight.” He tucks me under his chin, and I tangle my legs with his. Wrapping his hand around my throat and resting his thumb over my thrumming pulse possessively, Cooper shifts between my legs, and a thrill dances down my body.

He runs his other hand under my shirt, and he shoves it up over my head. “I love your body, baby.”

His thumb brushes over my pebbled nipple, and a tingle pulls deep inside me.

“Coop,” I keen, begging for something... For anything... For everything.

His lips are everywhere as he works his way down my body, worshipping me, until finally his mouth finds my pussy. “I want to taste you, baby.”

I look down my body at his blue eyes and crooked grin.

So fucking sexy.
