“Are you fucking kidding me?” I hiss.

“What?” He throws his arm up. “I didn’t know they were staying.”

“It’s not about that and you know it.” My eyes narrow into slits as he searches my face. “She calls you Ezra, too?” His brows bunch together.

“She snooped through my shit and found my ID,” he says slowly. “She calls me Ezra because she knows it annoys the fuck out of me.”

“So, youareEzra to someone,” I say, and he inhales sharply.

“Love,” he says, his lips twitching. “All the guys know my name. She knows it. Fuck, I think Addie knows it.”

“You made me think it meant something,” I say.

“It does.” He tries to grab my hand, but I pull it out of reach, and he sighs. “It does mean something, Kens. I don’t let anyone else call me that, only you and Ian. It’s—it’s important to me.” He drops his eyes to his feet. “Elaine always told me I’d know when I found the one. And somewhere along the way, it got into my head that I would know the one when she said Ezra. I’d feel it just…click. And when you said my name for the first time, everything clicked into place. Everything solidified in my head, even more than before, that you were meant to be mine.” I flick my eyes between his, my throat growing thick with emotion. “Would you even care if we hadn’t slept together?”

Just like that, all the words he’d just said are washed away.

“It doesn't matter,” I say. “You—” I clench my hands, forcing my tears to stay back. “The way you look at her—you like her.” He rests his hand on the car as he glares down at me.

“No,” he says. “I don’t. She’s a friend—”

“Do you fuck all of your friends?” I snap, and he lets out a humorless laugh, shaking his head.

“Actually, yeah,” he says sarcastically. “I’ve fucked a lot of my friends. I’ve fucked multiple of them at one time. Is that what you want to hear? You want me to tell you about every partner I’ve ever had? You wanna hear about every dirty thing I’ve ever done with anyone?” I press my lips together to keep them from wobbling. “I’ve been in more threesomes than I can count. That one with Heather and Reid? It wasn’t the first time Reid and I fucked someone together. I don’t remember the names of some of the people I’ve slept with. I’ve stuck my dick through glory holes and—”

“Okay.” I hold my hand up as I squeeze my eyes shut. “Enough.”

“No, you want to know,” he snarls as he steps toward me. “So I’ll tell you. Everything will be out in the open so you can’t get mad at me for this shit again.”

“I don’t want to know,” I grit out, opening my eyes to glare at him. “I’m not mad that you’ve slept with her.” I take a deep breath, trying to process my emotions. “I care that you still look at her like—”

“I don’t want to fuck her,” he says, then takes a deep breath, his face softening. “I would never cheat on you. Of all the things I’ve done, I’ve never cheated on someone.” He reaches for me, and I let him. He gently cups my face and wipes a falling tear with his thumb. “You’re mine, Kens, and that means I’m yours, too. What do I need to do to prove that to you? I’ll stop talking to her if that’s what you want. I’ll cut her out of my life completely.” I close my eyes as I lean into his touch.

“You’re really just friends?” I ask.

“We’re just friends,” he says, his thumb still gently stroking. “I told you, we only slept together because we were bored and wanted a distraction. It meant nothing to either of us. Look at me, baby.” His voice breaks, and I force my eyes open. “I don’t care who or what it is, I’ll never let anything come between us. You own me, Kennedy. And, when you’re ready to give yourself fully to me, I will cherish your trust for the rest of my life. I won’t do anything to ever break it. You mean too much to me to ever fuck this up. Ian—Ian means too much to me, too. You’re—” He lets out a breath as he steps toward me. “You’re my family, even if you’re not ready to say it, you and that boy are mine.” His eyes lift above my head, and I know he’s looking at Ian. “I love you both, with all of my fucked up heart.” His gaze meets mine again, and I can’t help the tears that leak from my eyes.

“You mean that?” I croak, and he nods before resting his forehead against mine.

“I’m going to marry you one day,” he whispers. “I’m going to adopt him, and give you both my last name. Then I’m going to get you pregnant again.” I close my eyes, letting myself picture this life with him. “When I say I love you, Kennedy, it’s because there aren’t enough words to convey how much I feel for you. When I say I need you, it’s because I fuckingneedyou to survive.” He presses his lips to mine, a tear dripping onto my cheek from his eye.

“I’m trusting you, Ez. If I ever find out you’ve even thought about fucking someone else, I will chop your dick into tiny pieces and feed it to you. Understand me?” I glare up at him, ignoring the stray tear that slips from my eye. “I won’t hesitate.”

“You have no idea what you do to me,” he sighs, his face dreamy. “That was the hottest thing you’ve ever said.” I roll my eyes, and he quickly presses his lips to mine. “I swear on my life, I will never even look at another person.” I flick my eyes between his, and decide to believe him. I let out a long sigh, my body relaxing against his.

“I’m sorry.” I wrap my arms around his neck, wincing as my sore muscles stretch. “I’m not usually jealous, but—”

“I understand,” he breathes. “I still want to murder Archer. If I’m being totally honest, I want to kill every man who has ever even kissed you. And, I know it’s fucked up, but I want to kill Ian’s father for getting you pregnant before I could.”

I pause, and pull my head away. His eyes twinkle with amusement and I throw my head back, laughing. His lips land on my neck, gently kissing and sucking toward my jaw, then my chin before settling on my lips. His tongue slides into my mouth, and I moan against him. He lets his hands roam over my body, stopping when he gets to my ass.

“I need to fuck you,” he breathes between kisses.

“Tonight,” I promise. He kisses me harder, his hands groping my ass, my thighs, my waist. “Fuck, maybe we can do it in the backseat now.” He laughs against my mouth as he cups my breast. My head falls back and he kisses down my neck again.

“If we were alone, I’d bend you over the hood of this car,” he growls, and I moan again. “I’d eat your cunt from behind until you came all over my tongue.” His other hand slides between my legs, and my eyes roll back. “Then I’d stretch you with my cock.”

“Ez,” I groan, my fingers digging into his back.
