“I would never.”
I laughed so hard that my head tilted back. “Mmhmm.”
“Okay, I totally would, but I haven’t. I’ve been good.” She held up her hand like she was swearing in a witness. “We have tons and tons of time for an engagement to happen, and I really am the happiest I’ve ever been.”
“I’m just teasing you.” I winked and glanced at the boys again. “What do you think they’re talking about?”
“Not Hooked—I can tell you that. Declan’s wearing the wrong expression for that conversation.”
“I swear, I was thinking the same thing.”
“Who knows?” She shrugged as I gazed back at her, but she was still focused on the guys. “Quick, talk about something other than them; they’re headed right for us.”
“Oh, I know. I forgot to tell you that I picked up some cake from Gloria’s bakery yesterday afternoon, and I ran into Macon. He said he was heading back to Hawaii and wasn’t sure if he could make it to our housewarming party. I told him Camden would be gutted if his best friend wasn’t there.”
“I hope you gave him all the shit. Because he has to be there.”
“I did, and he’s going to surprise him and fly back for it. And—”
“And who are we talking about?” Camden said, his hands on my waist, his face in my neck.
“Macon.” As I eyed Hannah, the feel of Camden caused goose bumps to rise across my whole body, his heat spreading right into me. “I was telling her how upset Macon is about missing our housewarming party.”
“I’m sure he’s really upset,” Camden said, chuckling, looking up from my neck, his hands moving to my navel. “That motherfucker is banging every chick in Hawaii.”
“Here’s what I don’t get,” Hannah said as Declan took a seat beside her. “Macon has all the money in the world. Access to the Spades’ fleet of jets whenever he wants them. And he can’t come back for your housewarming party? That’s fucked up.”
“It’s the women, baby.” Declan turned her face toward him. “He can’t leave the women.”
Her eyes rolled as she turned toward her brother. “That’s really why?”
“Who the fuck knows?” Camden muttered.
But I knew he was no longer paying attention.
He was too busy nuzzling my neck.
“He’s going to get the wrath of me the next time I see him,” Hannah said.
I had to give it to my best friend; she was the queen of playing everything off.
Not that her brother was even focused on her at this point.
He was far too infatuated with me.
His hands circled toward my ass, his lips lifting to my ear, where he whispered, “We need to go.”
I moved my mouth toward him. “Now?”
“Yes.” His voice was a heavy, deep growl.
I slowly looked at Hannah. “We’re going to call it a night.” I sucked in a breath as his hand dipped beneath the table to rub between my legs. He was testing me, in front of his sister—my God, he was ruthless. “The guys, as you know, have to be in early, and I have a project I have to finish when I get home.”
“Suuureyou do, babe.” She smiled. “But I have to be in court in the morning, so early is probably not a bad thing.”
“Finally,” Camden hissed as Declan and Hannah climbed off their stools, “I get you all to myself.”
I clenched his fingers and gently pushed them away so I could stand, and I went over to Hannah, hugging my best friend good-bye before I moved on to Declan.
