My mouth twitched with a snarl as I climbed the stairs and headed for the bathroom. The scent of vanilla hit me like a fist to my gut as I stepped in and closed the door.Jesus.I closed my eyes and reached out, bracing my hands against the vanity.
My body was trembling, but my mind was still hungry, ravenous with a cruel fucking need. I yanked my clothes off and tossed them into the hamper before stepping into the shower and hitting the taps. Heat ran down my neck and my shoulders. Under the blur of the water falling in my eyes, I saw her things, her damn shampoo and conditioner. I reached and picked up a pink bottle of her bodywash and cracked open the lid.
Ylang Ylang.
Fuck, that shit smelled nice, real nice. I squeezed some out, rubbed my hands together, and ran them over my body. I was already fucking hard, too goddamn hard. It didn’t matter how many times I jerked off to the smell of her panties and her perfume, I still craved more.
More of her body.
More of her fucking soul.
I washed and rinsed, using my own shampoo before I stepped out and grabbed a towel. Athudcame from the other side of the door before it opened. Nick stepped in, wearing clean jeans and an open-collared white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. “Dad wants you downstairs, apparently there’s an important dinner.”
“Good for him, enjoy that dinner.”
“Tobe.”
“Fuck off, Nick.”
He scowled, those golden-brown eyes darkening. “What the fuck has gotten into you?”
I clenched my jaw and wound the towel around my waist before smacking my shoulder into him on my way out. “I dunno, what do you fucking think?”
He stilled for a second, then strode after me. “You’re seriously pissed about that?”
I twisted the door handle and stepped into my room. “Get out of my face, brother,” I snarled before closing the door in his face.
I half expected him to come after me. If he did, there was no way I’d look him in the eyes without laying one on his nose.Did he touch her?The thought rose.Did he pull her close when she hugged him?Did he smell her fucking hair and press his cock against her body?
“Come downstairs, we’re all down there,” Nick said from the other side of the door.
I just jerked a glare toward the sound and unwrapped the towel, listening as he walked away.Come down there…why, so I could see them get fucking drunk and look happy?
That room rose in my mind, the room that had had my mom’s machines in it. Machines he'd made us haul to the garage and store in the dark. I lifted my gaze to the door and the sound of their voices.Come down there?
To what, see how fucking happy they were?
To see Ryth in her pretty green dress?
A dress I wanted to tear from her body…
With a growl, I strode to the dresser and yanked open the drawer, pulling on boxers, jeans, and a t-shirt. I’d fucking come to their dinner and see what they had to say. I'd give my father and Elle an ultimatum, move the fuck out and leave us alone, or else.
They just didn’t know it. So it'd better be good fucking news.
Her daughter's virginity was on the goddamn line.

She was happy…likereally happy. Whatever the lawyers had told her had turned her into a woman I barely knew, a woman who threw her head back and unleashed a throaty laugh at something Creed said to her…a slightly intoxicated laugh.
“Sit…sit,”she gushed, coming back to reality and remembering we were actually in the room, motioning to the massive dining table.
I didn’t look, just pulled out a chair and sank, smoothing my dress under my ass as I went.
“What’s going on?” Nick muttered, glancing at his dad, who grinned and lifted a half-filled glass of Scotch in the air.
