“We all know what happened the last time you didn’t choose me.”
Chapter Ten
—Christian—
Then
A year came and went in the blink of an eye, taking all our new firsts with it. I spent as much time as I could with Kinley. She was at my house all the time, and my family loved her. I’d never forget the expression on my little sister’s face when I introduced her as my girlfriend a few weeks after the carnival.
“Wow,” Autumn expressed with wide eyes. “Christian has never come home with a girlfriend before. You must be super special.”
Kinley laughed. “And you must be Autumn.”
“I’m the little sister.” Autumn nodded. “My birthday was just last week. I’m ten now.”
“I know.” Kinley smiled. “I went with Christian to pick out your present.”
Autumn beamed. “You did? How did you know I loved Littlest Pet Shops?”
“Doesn’t everybody? They’re my favorite too.”
“Really? Maybe we could play with mine.”
“I’d love to.”
“Christian,” Mom chimed in, bringing our attention over to her. She was standing beside my dad, looking as captivated as I was by my girl. “She’s absolutely beautiful.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Troy.”
“Oh please, call me Emma.”
“Yes, and you can call me Steven,” Dad extended his hand.
For the rest of the evening, we hung out as a family, and I could tell Kinley appreciated being around them. I thought it was the first time she had been around a dynamic like ours.
Later that night, she proved my theory.
I was sitting on the couch with her head in my lap, playing with her hair while we watched a movie.
She turned her face to look up at me. “I had a great time tonight. Thanks for introducing me to them.”
I smiled. “Sweetness, you don’t have to thank me for introducing you to my family. They’ve been dying to meet you.”
“Really?”
“Of course. They all wanted to meet the girl who now owns my balls.”
She slapped me on the chest. “Christian!”
“What?” I grinned, teasing, “You know I’m fucking with you. Only I own my balls, baby. But you…” I winked at her. “You can definitely own my cock.”
Her mouth dropped open. “What about your heart?”
“Well, that too.”
“Christian,” Autumn announced, bringing me back to the present. “I think you should get her the turquoise birthday cake since that’s her favorite color.”
I nodded. “I think you’re right.”
