“Surprise!”Jamie hollered before he was even completely out of his cherry-red, four-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. His loud mouth carried across the lot to where we were exiting the Range Rover.
Beside me, Wes turned to Ryan who was sliding out of a Wrangler that looked just like Jamie’s except it was black. “Is this one of your dad’s dealerships?”
“Yeah, one of the biggest he owns,” Ryan replied as I glanced around the massive car dealership located on the other side of town from Westbrook.
The paved lot was lined with spotless, shiny cars and trucks. In the center was a white building, all sleek lines and large windows. Set off behind it was a service center, which was lined with massive garage doors for cars to be moved in and out.
“What are we doing here?” Wes wondered.
Ryan dropped an arm around Wes’s shoulders, rotating them both to point. “Thought you might want to have a look.”
Parked at the curb of the fancy building were two four-door Rubicons. One of them was blue and the other bright yellow. Both Wranglers looked just like the ones Ryan and Jamie drove.
Beside me, Win whistled. “Those are some nice wheels.”
Wes glanced at Ryan, surprise all over his face. “You brought me here to look at cars?”
“Well, you need a new one, don’t you?” Ryan replied.
Jamie appeared on his other side. “Not just any car, though. Those beauties right there.”
Wes drew back. “You guys want me to get a Wrangler like you?”
If I was feeling any type of way—okay, jealous and possessive—well, it might have dimmed a bit because of Wes’s voice. He was completely taken off guard, but not only that. He was part awed.
Clearly, it meant something to him that these guys wanted to make him part of their car bromance. I really meant what I said. I wanted Wes to have people around him who cared. Real friends. Win and I would always be there for him, but he needed to know there were people out there besides us that would accept him.
Figured it had to be these two idiots with some weird car bromance.
“Bro, sure,” Jamie answered. “Why wouldn’t you want a sweet ride like this?”
Pulling his arm from around Wes’s shoulders, Ryan added. “You’re one of us now, so why the hell not?”
Wes glanced at the two Wranglers ahead, then glanced around, eyes finding me. I saw the question in his eyes, the sudden need for my approval. I also saw the stark want. He wanted in on this bromance, but he wouldn’t agree to anything unless I agreed.
I love him so fucking hard.
I shrugged. “We’re here. Might as well take a look.”
A smile transformed the lower half of his face, the dimple in his chin indenting completely. The three of them went to the Wranglers, popping open doors and exclaiming about whatever the fuck was inside.
Win made a rude sound. “That brat didn’t even look at me. Guess you’re the only one whose opinion matters now.”
I laughed.
“I like them.” Win decided, watching them. “They’re loyal to Wes.”
I grunted. “Yeah, they are. And I didn’t make it easy for them.”
“Good,” Win quipped. “Means we can trust them.”
“I think so.” I agreed.
“Win!” Wes called. “Come look at this!”
“He knows I exist!” Win cracked before jogging over to where Wes was leaning into the driver’s side door of a Wrangler.
I walked around the Jeeps, checking out the bodies, the features, and the large upgraded tires. The yellow Rubicon had a hard top with a large rack on the top, which would be good for skis. It also had a bar of lights above the windshield and a black bumper with a towbar.
