His pale blue eyes stare back at me, and sadness takes hold. His shoulders drop along with his head, and he says, “I’m sorry.”
My heart hammers in my chest when he turns to leave.
“Nicky,” I say softly, following behind and taking his hand into mine.
“Yes?”
“Please don’t go. I only just got you back and—”
I break down into tears, and Nicky pulls me into his arms. His hug, scent, and smile are like coming back home.
When he lifts me into his arms and carries me to my bedroom, it feels so right, yet...so wrong.
19 – KINCAID
“Coleman Shepherd Maxwell, to what do I owe the pleasure of you traveling from Charleston all the way to Sunset Harbor, North Carolina, to see me?” a brassy, buxom blonde asks as she takes a seat in Shep’s lap, interrupting our conversation.
“The year is never right until I spend some time with you, love,” he says.
She looks at me and says, “You’ve brought Kincaid.”
“Aurora. It’s good to see you.”
She smiles and winks at me. “Two Maxwell brothers in the same place at one time. That’s a fucking wet dream. Now if only Ezra was here. I’d turn into a cum slut for that fantasy!”
Shep leans forward and whispers something in her ear that makes her laugh.
I take a pull of my cigar and lower my gaze away from them.
“Are they always this way?” my cousin, Onyx, asks.
“Shep’s always this way,” I reply. “Not much different than he is at the clubs you two frequent.”
My cousin gets a shady look and says, “He’s less aggressive with this one.”
“That’s because she’s aggressive enough on her own,” I say, nodding at the two of them as Aurora places Shep’s hand between her thighs.
