“Waah!” Robin makes her impatience known.
“You get Robin. I’ll deal with the condom and make you coffee.” I slap her ass. “Get moving.”
“Don’t think you can order me around outside of the bedroom.”
I wink. “We’ll see how it goes.”
She throws a pillow at me and I dodge it. I’m smiling as I walk to the bathroom to handle the condom. This is my future and it looks fucking fantastic.
Chapter 35
You can come out of the closet now ~ Text from Brody to Elder
“What’s wrong?” Elder asks as he walks into the closet in the bedroom. Our bedroom. But not my bedroom back in the house I used to live in.
“Why would anything be wrong?” I ask despite feeling panic trying to choke me.
“You’ve been standing in the closet for ten minutes now.”
I glance around. “It’s a big closet.”
He grasps my hands. “On a scale from one to ten, how high is your panic level at the moment?”
I consider it. “Eleven. Maybe twelve. Or twenty. Yeah, twenty.”
“There’s nothing to panic about. It’s a little celebration with our friends.”
“A celebration of me moving into your house!”
“And of you, me, and Robin becoming a family.”
I scowl at him. “You skipped over the me moving into your house part.”
“Because it’s not my house. It’sourhouse.”
My heart rate increases until I worry my heart is going to jump out of my chest. “This is too fast. We should slow down.”
“We’re married. We love each other. Aren’t we supposed to live together?”
I hate how he’s right, but I’m not letting go yet. “What was wrong with my place?”
“Your nearest neighbor doesn’t have a car and the next nearest neighbor is a ten-minute bike ride. If I’m not home, you need to have access to a car to go to the hospital if Robin’s sick.”
I scowl. “Do you have an answer for everything?”
He puffs up his chest. “You can refer to me as the Answer Man from now on.”
“Too bad we didn’t leave the goofball back at my old place.”
He tugs on my hands until I’m in his arms. “You love this goofball.”
“You tricked me.”
“And I’m not sorry,” he mumbles before his lips meet mine.
I push up on my toes and wrap my arms around him to get as close to him as possible. I’d crawl into his skin if I could. In his arms is the one place I feel safe. The one place I don’t worry about being enough. The one place my fear disappears in.
“Yoo-hoo! Is anyone home?” Sage shouts.
