Her eyes soften once more. “I missed you too. Now get back to your hunks and keep my patient alive. I’ll speak to you soon, sis.”
“Bye.” I hang up, my eyes going back to the patient. She’s right. She’s the best place for him.
And my best place is here, with my men.
It’s time I stop running so hard and embrace this. It might be forever, but even if it’s not, it’s going to be one hell of a good time while it lasts.
FIFTY-THREE
Idon’t let her know I listened to her conversation with her sister.
I stop in the kitchen with a frown marring my face. Louis is there, making food for everyone, and Jonas is sprawled out, snoring, or pretending to. Isaac is asleep, and D is working.
Louis freezes when he sees my expression. “What?” Jonas is instantly up, but I wave away his concern as I debate if I should keep it to myself or not.
She loves us.
How could she ever doubt that we would feel any different?
Have we not shown her? We need to every day.
From the moment I laid eyes on Nova, I knew she was ours. I knew she would be my everything, but I never could have imagined the depths of my feelings. I can barely breathe without her in my sight, and every smile and look she shoots my way steals another piece of my soul.
“Nothing. I overheard Nova talking to her sister.”
“Good, they should heal their relationship.” He stares at me though. “What is it?”
“I . . . Do you love her?” I ask, needing to know. I will protect her, even from my family.
“Nico,” he snaps. “What is it?”
“Do you love her?” I question more forcefully, staring him down. He searches my face with a perplexed expression before sighing.
“Well, I was hoping the first time I said it, it would be to her, but yes, I love her, as do you.”
“Me too!” Jonas adds helpfully.
“You are in this forever and not just for now?” I press.
He carefully puts his spoon down and meets me head-on. “When do I ever do anything halfway? I am all in with her. We all are. I tried to resist to keep us safe, but we both know that didn’t work. She’s mine, and I’m hers. Now tell me.”
“She loves us,” I croak, and I hear the disbelief in my voice.
“Of course she does. We are amazing and have great dicks,” Jonas says.
“How can she love us?” I whisper, and Louis sighs as he squeezes my arm.
“Because we are worthy of it—youare worthy of it, and if you let her, Nico, she will prove that to you. But how do you feel about it?” There’s our leader, always trying to protect us.
“Like I’ve won every fucking lottery in the world,” I growl. “Like I don’t deserve it, but I’m going to take it anyway and hoard it, never letting her go.”
He grins then, a wicked one. “Then I guess we better keep our girl happy.” Turning, he bowls her some soup and hands it over with a spoon and a water. “Let’s start with this. She gets grumpy when she is hungry.” I nod and take it, still humbled as I head back to her.
How could I do anything else? I need to be at her side at all times.
“Oh, and Nico? Don’t let her know you listened in. Respect her privacy. She will tell us when she’s ready. I do believe our Nova is more stubborn than us,” Louis calls.
Jonas waves me on, and when I head back to her, I quicken my steps.
