“Wacked how?” James chuckles.
“I don’t know how to explain it, but Aunt Chloe was so young when she had Cruz. They grew up together. She was an amazing mother, but more of a friend. She’s an extremely open person. Nothing is ever off-limits. When Cruz announced he liked guys at thirteen, she threw him a party. She was so proud he embraced his sexuality openly. She’s carried that attitude through life. So now, even with both of us in our twenties, she discusses everything, even things that maybe should be private.”
“Now I want to meet her even more.” Jenna beams and winks at James.
“How about we get through the secret wedding of the year and then plan some meet and greets?” Robbie sighs and pulls me toward him.
Jenna’s expression gets soft, and her eyes gleam. “We can do that.”
When we say goodnight and get in the car, a feeling of emptiness washes over me. My mood shifts, and I slip into silence, dealing with my thoughts.
“What are you thinking?” Robbie breaks through.
“You have a mom, a real mom. I was wondering what that’s like.”
He doesn’t answer right away, but places my hand on his knee, caressing my fingertips. Finally, he speaks. “I hate that you even have to ask that, but you’re right. I have an amazing family. Even with our challenges, we have never doubted each other.”
“You’re so lucky.” I swallow the lump in my throat.
“I am, but you are, too.”
“I know what Alex told you. My family is completely messed up. It’s probably not exactly what you wanted in your life. You don’t need to feel—”
“Stop. I know you think your own self-worth is based on the shit your mom and sister put you through, but you’re wrong. You deserve happiness. And I do want you, every single thing you can give me. “
My heart rams like a Mack truck against my chest, and I wonder if he’s serious. My face turns to his, which is hard and determined. His eyes meet mine for a brief second. The heat in his stare is undeniable, making me quiver.
I lean over and rest my head against his shoulder. “I’m not fragile, Robbie, maybe damaged but not fragile. And I want you, too.” My lips brush against his jawline and he hisses.
“Four miles… Four miles and we’re at your house. Think you can quit being adorably sweet and sexy for that long?”
I nod against him and feel an unfamiliar brazenness stir within. My lips give a few more nips to his neck before I move back to my seat and situate my purse on my lap. He doesn’t move his eyes from the road, but I watch him swallow hard.
Robbie
Mom: I really like her. Make sure she comes to Raven’s shower.
I debate on responding when Ember walks out of her bathroom dressed for bed. My mom’s text is the last thing on my mind as I look at the vision in front of me. She’s wearing a long sleeved t-shirt at least two sizes too big that hangs to her knees. Her face is free of makeup and her hair tied to the side, falling over one shoulder. She catches me staring and flashes a small smile.
I toss my phone on her dresser and walk to her slowly, watching her eyes dance as I get closer. She leans into me, placing a light kiss on the underside of my jaw.
“That’s nice, but I want your lips a little further up,” I murmur into her hair.
“You’re a lot taller than me,” she points out, pushing up on her toes.
I bend and pull her into me at the same time. Our lips touch briefly before her tongue darts into my mouth and I groan. Her own special flavor mixed with chocolate mousse fills my taste buds, and I devour her. She feels so good in my arms, kissing me without restraint. My hands travel down her body, feeling every curve underneath the oversized shirt. When I reach the bare skin of her thighs, my cock twitches and then grows hard. She pulls away, breathing heavily.
“Ember, are you wearing anything under this shirt?”
“My underwear.”
“Nothing else?”
She shakes her head, biting her bottom lip.
“Fuck me.” I drop my head to her neck and nip softly at the delicate skin.
“Would you like me to put on some more clothes?”
