She lifted her hand and examined her freshly manicured nails. “I don’t kiss and tell, boo. You should already know that.”
I grabbed the satin pillow from behind me and hurled it at her head. She dodged it with expertise. “I can’t believe we had to reschedule our trip because he gave you a few orgasms.”
She smiled wide. “In my defense, they were really amazing orgasms.”
“You ain’t shit.”
“Maybe not but you still love me.”
And I did.

I lay snuggled in my bed, cradling my phone as I frowned at my sister’s image from the video call we were on. Her backdrop was the private jet which belonged to our family instead of the bedroom of her apartment in the city.
“You missed today.” I pouted and she offered a similar expression.
“I know, I’m sorry but I’ll be there before you wake in the morning.”
“You should’ve been here now. Tomorrow will last for five minutes then I’ll be on a plane to a surprise location.”
“It’s your fault that your wedding will only last five minutes. You wanted to keep it simple.”
“You were at my engagement party. Can you blame me?”
“No, I can’t. I’m kinda glad that you’re keeping it simple.”
“Only because you’re trying to get in and out as fast as humanly possible. I wished I had never suggested that you travel. I feel like a second class citizen in your life now.”
She laughed, rolling her eyes. “You could never be second class in my life. You’re one half of my heart. You and Christian make me whole, Cress.”
I swallowed thickly knowing that she purposely excluded Cole because it was easier to exclude him than it was to remember that we lost him. He wasn’t perfect but he was still our brother.
“I know,” I said softly and she shifted a little. Something moved in her expression but she suppressed it. I decided not to let things get dark and neither did she because she quickly moved on. “So what’s the deal with your surprise location?”
“Honeymoon,” I mumbled.
She raised a brow. “So you’re doing that?”
“I guess. He planned it. Hence thesurprise.”
“That’s good. It means he’s taking this marriage seriously.”
“It means he wants to keep up appearances.” My stomach flipped at the lie. I knew better. Elias didn’t give a damn about what anyone thought. He was no longer marrying me as a favor to his brother. He was marrying me because he wanted to. The thought allowed my body to loosen into a relaxed state. “But, that doesn’t mean I’m not still disappointed that you missed today. I wanted you there.”
“You had Trini.”
I heard the jealousy in her voice. She had always felt slighted by my relationship with Trini but she didn’t have to. No one would ever replace what Jona was to me.
My sister.
My blood.
“You’re not in competition with Trini.”
“I know.”
“Do you?” I challenged.
