She nods.

I run through everything I know about Lex, all my encounters with her, the things she’s said, the things she’s done. There’s only one time where she seemed close to happy. It was in the cemetery when she asked me to kiss her—justkiss her—and we made out like a couple of teenagers. She was a different person afterward. Playful. Open to affection. She didn’t even pull her gun on me when I showed up at her house later.

“Hook your legs over the sides.” I position the leg in my hold for her, then wait as she slowly does the other. Even below shifting water, I can see her pussy on full display, nothing stopping me from admiring every pink bit of it.

This is why I’m a thief and not a teacher. I already forgot the fucking lesson.

Fun.

Happiness.

Fuck, I want to feel that pussy again.

Fun. Happiness.

The second I step into the water—still in my sweats and Henley—Lex squeals and tries to scramble up to sitting, but I’m already coming down on top of her, settling between her thighs, water spilling over the edge like a waterfall to accommodate the extra weight and movement. A mesmerizing smile, the kind I’ll never forget, stretches Lex’s lips, then a laugh, an actual laugh, slowly tumbles from them. It’s the most beautiful sound from the most beautiful woman.Mybeautiful laugh andmybeautiful woman because I earned them both.

Cupping Lex’s cheek, I kiss her, deep and deliberate.

Always so responsive, she wraps her legs and arms around me, hugging me just as intentionally.

I think I finally figured it out. Lex doesn’t laugh with her vocal cords. She laughs with her heart. That’s why she fights so hard to keep them trapped inside. If nothing gets out, nothing can get in.

But I got her to let one out.

Now I’m gonna find a way in.

After I do, she won’t have to protect everything so fiercely. I’ll do it for her.

“That was happiness?”

“That’s up to you,” I say softly, my lips tickling Lex’s ear as she relaxes back against me.

We kissed for so long the water grew cold, so we drained, then refilled the copper bathtub. This time I stripped before getting in though, so now there’s nothing between us.Physically.

My arm wrapped under her tits shakes her a little. “Are you happy?”

“There’s a term your sister used…”

My sister?

“Is it ‘cringe’?” I ask with my own. Cringe and literally are the twins’ favorite words. Literally doesn’t fit the occasion, and I’m really fucking hoping cringe doesn’t either.

Turning her head, she looks up at me. “It’s not cringe.” She pauses, then whispers, “I’m better than happy.”

Damn. What else can I teach her? I want a list, a never-ending list, that I go down, teaching Lex different parts of life she’s never experienced. That’s how you make a life with someone. You literally fucking make it.

We sit with our thoughts for a while, our hands in constant motion over each other’s bodies, until my fingers graze the valley between her tits.

“What makes you think you’re broken?” I ask, tracing the tattoo there.

“I know I am. My body…it doesn’t work right. Well, it didn’t, and then it did, but now…I’m not sure what’s going on.”

“What was wrong?”

“It was just…unbalanced.”
