I shrugged my shoulders.
Henry nodded at Rome.
I had to say or do something.
“You know, I have something to say,” I said.
Rome looked up at me. “What is it?”
I took a deep breath.
“I’m in love with my best friend’s sister.”
There.
It’s in the open.
In the wide fucking open.
Spoken out loud.
On a beach too.
For anyone to hear.
Rome stood up. “Yeah? April? You fucked her? You fell for her?”
“Yeah,” I said. “In that order too.”
“My man,” Rome said. He grinned. “I knew you had it in you. There was no way you were going to have her stay and not get her into bed.”

“Why not?” Rome asked.
“Andy.”
“What does that matter?”
“He’s my best friend,” I said. “We’ve been friends for a long time. I was supposed to look after his sister.”
“Wait,” Atlas said. “Look after… meaning, what? She’s not his property. She’s a grown damn woman. She can do whatever she wants.”
“That’s right,” I said. “It’s just the intention of it all. It’s not that simple. Not when you’ve got my reputation. Not when I’ve known April as long as I have. It’s…”
“I know what you’re thinking,” Rome said.
He looked at the rest of the guys.
