We can’t talk much during the trip, so I let myself spend the journey trying to read the stickers on therearwindows of the cars. Most of them say ‘baby on board’. Having worked in a garage, I know that for the most part, the only people paying any attention to those stickers are the paramedics. The rest are political or ‘honk if you’re horny’, and I hope that there are some parents being harassed by their children to explain what ‘horny’ means.

We drive for an hour and a half, and then we pull into a partially emptyparking lot. After the journey we’ve been on, the first thing I notice is that, of the cars I can see, none of them have ‘baby on board’ stickers on the back bumper.

“Where are we?”

For a building so big, there are very few signs. It’s as though the business itself was in on the mission to keep me in the dark about the purpose of the trip.

“Wait until we get inside.”

“I’ve waited forages.”

Xander, the bastard, only winks and then leans up against his giant motorcycle. The helmets hang over the handlebars, and my perfect white is a great contrast to his black with orange flames. If I wasn’t so sure he was being ironic, I would have called him out on it the first day I saw it.

“Well, are we going in?”

“Not until Dani and Jax get here. But trust me, baby, you’re going to love it.”

He wraps one of those big arms that Ilovearound my waist and pulls me into him, pressing our chests together. He ducks down and kisses me deeply. I should push him away.We are inapublic space, after all. But there doesn’t seem to be anyone around. And he tastes so good.

“Hey, get a room.”

I feel Xander’s lips quirk into a smile beneath my own, and I reluctantly pull away. And then I remember that, since they’re finally here, I can learn about the surprise.

“Now can you tell me what we’re doing?” I ask excitedly. I really hate being in the dark about things.

Dani’s eyes glitter with excitement, so I know that it’s something she’s going to enjoy too, but that doesn’t narrow it down at all. Dani and I might be different in personality, but we still grew up under the same roof, and our age difference isn’t significant enough for us to have been apart in interests.

“Nope. It’s a secret.”

“But we’re here already, I point out as we move forward. We might as well—”

“Wait?” Xander finishes for me. “I agree.”

There’s no way out of this, so I let him drag me forward, Dani and Jax following behind us with their backpacks hanging off their shoulders. I hope we weren’t supposed to bring anything particular.

“Don’t worry. Dani packed for you,” Xander tells meas he watches me eye my sister’s backpack.

But that makes me worry more. Dani loves to fuck with me, and so I wouldn’t put it past her to have not packed whatever I needed, or to have deliberately packed the wrong thing.

Turns out it was the latter.

“Dani, what thefuckwere you thinking?”

“I think you mean, ‘Dani, thank you for thinking ahead’.”

In the building, there was a giant sign made of fake plants that read ‘Serenity Spa’.

“We figured we could all use a little relaxation. There’s hot pools, a sauna, massage rooms, the whole she-bang. We’ve booked massages for all of us. It’s gonna be great.”

And I’d agreed, right up until I pulled out a skimpy little bikini that would only barely cover the essentials. Damn, she is so lucky Iwaxregularly. The black material just barely covers the nipples, and even then, I feel like I’m going to spend the entire time checking to make sure nothing has shifted into view.

“There are going to be other people here,” I hiss.

“Nope. You can book out entire sections here. It’ll just be the four of us.”

“Okay, but that doesn’t mean I wantJaxto see me like this. For goodness sake, I look like I’m wearing strings.”

“You look sexy, and Xander will agree with me.” Dani states.
