He shook his head. “A number too. Said we could call.”

“You gonna do that?”

“No…” he said quickly.

“If you want answers, Ty…”

“I don’t. I realized when I thought about calling it was only because I wanted to tell her all the ways she was fucked up. I didn’t want anything from her.”

I studied him for a minute and he added, “I used to, but not anymore. Get the check. I know he called me instead of you because he thought I would be the one to reach out.”

“Yeah.” Our father annoyed the fuck out of me with that. We hadn’t seen much of each other since the blow up about Keiris. He made his feelings about her clear. He couldn’t blame us for our mother anymore so he blamed her. He was a hurt and hateful man but he’d have to be that alone. I refused to let her feel the backlash from shit she didn’t cause.

“For the first time in a year, I feel good, Bee. Like I really feel okay. As pissed as I was, I’m glad she showed up that day. I know I’m not all the way there but I will be. I’ll holla at you later though. I got a few things I need to take care of.”

I nodded and watched as he headed to his car and left. After he was gone, I got on my bike, heading to the one person I knew would always keep me grounded. I wanted Tynan to have that type of stability in his life. One day he would, maybe sooner rather than later since he was no longer searching for it.

I grinned, pulling my helmet down over my head. Lord knows it damn sure found me when I had no intention of falling.

But I was so fucking glad it had.

Keiris.

I felt him before he stepped into my office, closing us in, locking my office door. Balor was dressed in his usual—dark jeans, dark tee, and leather jacket. I couldn’t help my smile from expanding unnaturally wide when he placed his helmet on the corner of my desk and rounded the side, leaning against it with his chin dipped so his eyes were on me.

“How did it go?”

“Good.”

“Mmm, that’s all I get? Good?”

He smirked and nodded. “Not much difference in the last time other than Ty is still fucking women when he’s supposed to be taking a break.”

She shrugged. “Six months is a really long time to go without. Would you do that?”

He smiled, shaking his head. “No but I don’t have to. That’s never been my issue and you sound like him.”

“I understand, Ty.”

“You do?” He arched a brow and I nodded. The past six months I had gotten to know Tynan very well. He crashed our dinners enough times for me to consider him a friend and extended family. It seemed to make Balor happy that I’d accepted his brother.

“I do, but I understand his brother better.” I lifted from my chair, stepped between his legs, and lunged into his body. Both of his hands landed at my hips, bringing me in closer when I tilted my face up. I didn’t have to ask for a kiss, it was just natural with us.

I loved this man and was in tune with him in ways that didn’t make sense. But it felt right.

“I missed you.”

“You missed me?” He smirked, angling his head to the side. It was just after lunch and I had been in his bed last night, while he had been in me this morning before I left for work.

I nodded and lifted onto my toes, pressing a kiss to his lips. “You didn’t miss me?”

“Nah, I’m not as clingy as you are.”

He smirked and I rolled my eyes. “But you shut and locked my door?”

“I know how you are and remember what happened last time. Logan can’t even look at me without her face turning red as hell.”

She had walked in on me sitting on my desk, while Balor sat in my chair with my legs over his shoulders and his tongue doing amazing things. So amazing that when I heard the door open, and Logan’s gasp before the door slammed shut again, I didn’t bother worrying about what she saw. I did know when I walked him out I had never in my life seen her chestnut brown skin flaming so red with embarrassment.
