“Until what?” I turn to look into my brother’s eyes. “When will this end?”
He reaches up and brushes away the wetness on my cheek with his thumb. “When Ryder comes for us. I know he will.”
I search his eyes and frown. “What if he’s too late?”
“He won’t be.”
“But…”
“But what?”
I chew on my bottom lip, hating to speak the words. “Tom and CJ…” Sighing heavily, I shove down the terror and let anger replace it. “Apparently, they’re going to compete for the chance to marry me.”
Ronan scowls, reminding me a lot of Ryder in this moment.
“I don’t want to have sex with either of them,” I whisper, letting fear creep back in. “I’ve never done it and I’m scared. I wanted it to be you. In my head, it was always you.”
And then it was Ryder, but I don’t mention that.
His features soften. “Even when you found out I like men?”
“Still then.” I swallow down a ball of emotion. “It still could be you.”
He blinks at me in confusion. “But I’m—”
“You could pretend I’m someone else,” I murmur, voice quivering. “Like Ryder. Just close your eyes and pretend.”
Ronan’s brows pinch together and he pulls his gaze away from mine. “Rae.”
“Never mind,” I choke out. “It was a stupid idea.”
He shakes his head and pulls me to him for a hug. “It’s not. I just…I don’t know what to think.”
“I just didn’t want those monsters to take away something so special to me.”
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
His arm squeezes me closer to him. “If there were ever an opportunity, I would do it for you. Somehow. Some way. I could give that to you.”
My heart flutters at the idea of what he’s saying.
Me and Ronan.
Together in bed. Moaning and licking and writhing. Like that night I watched my parents. Ronan could say those filthy things to me. He could rub the spot between my legs that makes me see stars. I would spread my legs for him and let him push his cock inside me.
Heat floods south and my skin burns hot.
“Tonight?” I ask in a whisper.
He groans. “Rae, I said if there were ever an opportunity. I can’t slip away from Logan.”
“I could come to you,” I offer. “Tom and his kids have to fall asleep at some point.”
“It’s not safe.” He pulls back and cups my cheek in his hand. “Don’t do anything risky.”
Before we can argue any more about this subject, the sounds of footsteps cracking through the nearby forest have us hushing up. Logan returns with eyes narrowed. Ronan gives me another quick hug before rising to his feet.
