“You know, I really hate how sexy you are when you get defiant.”
“Does it make you want to pull my hair and punish me, Cullen?”
Cullen lowers his mouth down to mine and kisses me.
It’s a short lived make out session.
I step out of the bedroom and leave the house.
The rest of theHeirsare long gone now.
Maz and Birdie wait for me on the steps.
“How was it?” Birdie asks.
“Ridiculous,” I say.
“Good or bad?” Maz asks.
“Over the top,” I say. “Probably the nicest room I’ve ever seen.”
“So what are you doing out here?” Maz asks.
“She has to pack up her stuff and leave us,” Birdie says with a frown.
I put my arms around both Maz and Birdie.
“Fuck that,” I say. “I’m anHeirand I live with twoThorns. And if that pisses anyone off… fuck them.”
“Yup,” Birdie says with a smile.
“What?” I ask.
Maz smiles too.“You totally belong in the mafia, Jaci.”
Chapter 23
Afew nights later there’s a smaller gathering at the lake.
A few less fires. A few less decibels of music fighting for attention.
But plenty of familiar faces.
Maz hands me a drink the same time as Birdie does.
I’m holding two drinks and I laugh.
“Are you two trying to get me drunk?” I ask.
“We want to take advantage of you,” Birdie says as she makes her eyebrows dance.
“Have at it,” I call out, opening my arms.
“I’m pretty sure anyone who gets too close to her will end up with a disease.”
And just like that the enjoyment of the lake party takes a nose dive.
Ava and Brianna stand on the other side of the fire, arms folded.
