“Dad, maybe you should tell her you love her.”
“I’m trying, Ethan.”
“Maybe you should try harder.”
“You know what, son? I think you’re right.”
My hand instinctively went to my heart. Except he wasn’t breaking it again.
He was mending it instead.
Chapter Twenty-Four
—Evie—
“Darlin’…”
“Hmm,” I mumbled, stirring awake beneath my tangled white sheets as I faintly felt someone’s lips laying soft kisses down the side of my neck.
“Wake up, birthday girl…”
My eyes fluttered, trying to wake up, but my body wouldn’t allow it, and sleep won out. I was tired from spending so much time in the hot sun, falling asleep fast and hard as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Dreaming only about Caleb.
Even in my deep slumber, I could still smell his intoxicating scent.
I could feel his soft lips trailing along my skin, making his way down my stomach.
“Should I keep going?”
“Mmm hmm,” I hummed. Kiss by kiss, he pecked every inch of my heated skin until he reached the edge of my panties, making my body shudder at the heady feel of his mouth so close to my core.
I fisted my sheets.
Wanting.
Needing.
His tongue on my pussy.
When I felt his fingers tug the waist of my panties, my breathing hitched and my eyes snapped open, big and wide. Coming face to face with the last person I expected to see, hovering above me.
Caleb.
There was no way I was still dreaming, but if this happened to be a dream within a dream, then I didn’t want to wake up. In that moment, the world stopped spinning, stopped moving, and time just stood still for us.
“What are you doing?”
“I think that’s pretty obvious.” He grinned. “You said I could keep going.”
“I was sleeping.”
“I was trying to give you your birthday present.”
With everything that was going on, my birthday had slipped my mind.
“Should I keep going?”
