“And, Ashton, it was nice meeting you. Be sure to keep Sunday free. You two are having dinner with me.”
My brother can be a lot at times, just like our mom. “Oh, is that right?”
“Yep. Six p.m. Now go before Helicopter Evelyn lands.”
I don’t have to be told twice, and we leave the boat. Holding his hand, I tug him quickly on the dock and up the boardwalk leading to the parking lot. I toss the basket in the back, hurrying before my mother can swoop in and scare Ashton away.
We’re out of the marina before I speak. Or have the ability to speak.
“So, that just happened.”
Ashton, who is staring out the front window, turns his attention to me, but before I can calm him, he begins giggling.
“I was about to ask you ifthat just happened. But, fuck. Your brother is…”
“Certifiably insane, to tell you the truth. And the last thing I wanted was you meeting my mother.”
“Helicopter Evelyn?” he asks.
“Yeah, a helicopter has nothing on our mom. There’s a reason we would escape to Parson’s Park. Don’t get me wrong—my mother is the best. We were her everything. We still are. She’s overbearing, but no one loves us like our mom.”
“By the way, I don’t know if your brother was serious, but…”
“About dinner? He was.” I look in my rearview mirror, turning from the main road of the marina, as I see my parents’ car turn from a different road. Mom and Dad were quicker than we thought. We cut that close. “But, don’t worry, babe, I’ll get out of dinner on Sunday.”
He reaches his hand over the console, and it rests on my knee. Dancing his fingers up my thigh, resting right under my balls, his laugh reaches deep in his chest. It affects me more than his touch near my cock, and that’s a lot, considering he’s about to make me explode. “I don’t want to forget about it. He’s important to you, so…unless you’re not in this like me…”
“Don’t finish that sentence, Ash. I want to share every part of my life with you, baby. My parents will be a while, just because Mom is so much. But my brother, absolutely—and I hope that includes your family, too.”
He’s rubbing his fingers over my cock, and I’m three seconds from pulling over and hauling him into my back seat.
“Yeah. My mom is crazy, but not invasive, or should I say, notthatinvasive.”
“No one can be as invasive as my mother. But please don’t get the wrong impression of the one and only Evelyn James. She’s loving and has always put us first.”
He moves his fingers from my attention-starved dick. “I’m not scared of your mom, Noah. And I’ll go on your time table, but your brother? I’d love to have dinner with him this Sunday.”
I groan. “You know he’s going to share every little embarrassing moment in my life with you, right?”
“Yeah, I’m sure. But, don’t worry. Tia will do the same.”
I’m driving without a destination. “I’m not really sure where we’re going. Have any idea?”
“I need a shower. As your brother said, we smell of sex. Good thing we didn’t meet your parents,” he teases.
“Yeah, I’m with you on that. So, I’m about to suggest something, but it doesn’t have to mean anything. We’re closer to my place than yours. Do you want to go back to my loft? Are you game? And I think my clothes will fit you if you want to get out of your dirty ones.”
We’re at a stoplight. I bring my gaze around to him, and I catch him staring at my profile.
“You just want to get me out of my clothes, don’t you?” His lips part in mock surprise, and the smile on his face and in his eyes carries a sensuous spark.
I let out an amused grin. The easy flirting, the funny banter, and our desperate need for one another…it’s more than I could have ever imagined. I want nothing more than continued time with him, as I memorize his body. There’s more to learn about Ashton Brooks— his laugh, his smiles, the way he takes his coffee, and about a million other things I find I must know when it comes to him.
“Yeah, you got me, Ash. So, my place, or—?”
“Your place, Noah,” he answers. “I want to spend the day at your place, if that’s what you’re asking.”
“It’s exactly the question I’m asking and the answer I want, Ash.” But I want so much more when it comes to him.
