I chuckled when he turned back to me and pinned me on the wall. “Now, where were we?”
I answered him by wrapping my arms around him and kissing him.
Who knew I could charm my grumpy boss-slash-best friend’s-hot-older-brother-slash-nemesis?
I definitely didn’t.

“You know,” Emma started, sipping on a glass of wine, her engagement ring shining in the bright light of the salon. “I always thought Damon was acting weird. I knew the thing on your neck wasn’t a curling iron burn but a hickey. I wondered who you were hiding.”
“Right!” Mia said from her chair. “Even Summer was acting strange. Venting about him all the time. I knew there was something going on!”
I hid my smile as the young girl did my manicure.
After his confession, we both had terminated the contract and signed a different one. To co-parent Void together, and we drove him with us to our new house in Coral Springs. Damon wanted to pay for it all, but I was stubborn since the collaboration with Moore for my candles had done really well.
Garrett’s surprising article had made me trend on all the social media for two weeks and the director had approached me personally to cast me as the lead heroine for the next season of Hate Love. I was doing really well in my career and relationship.
As promised, I had talked to Carol when she was sober and booked her a ticket to come back home. She had cried seeing me and rambled about how she was going to be a wonderful mother and cut off alcohol. It was hard to accept her as she was since she never cared about me, but Damon was supportive whenever I went to meet her at my parents’ house.
“I always had a tiny crush on Damon,” I confessed, admiring the black color on my nails. I was sure he’d love it and ask me to show how it’d look better on his dick. Even thinking about it made me blush.
“Crush?”
“Tiny?”
Emma and Mia said in unison.
“Why didn’t you tell us?” Emma demanded.
“Because he’s your brother, and I felt guilty for having a crush on him. Not to mention, he was an ass.”
They both agreed.
“He’s still an ass, but he’s my hot piece of ass,” I said proudly, raising my chin.
“Ew,” Emma said, making me chuckle.
“Now you have your own hot older sugar daddy,” Mia said with a huge grin. “Just like you wanted!”
I giggled, thinking about it. “You’re right.” Then I remembered the talk James had with the boys, and one night, Damon had blurted it. “By the way, a little birdie told me that you have rejected James’s proposal for the ninth time?”
Emma spluttered on her wine. “Ninth time?”
Mia’s cheeks turned red. “It’s just… I don’t feel ready. I love him to the moon and back, but he has experienced so much and I feel like if I get married, I’ll miss out on things.”
“Aw, babe.” We hugged her as we were done with our manicures. We paid the bill and left a hefty tip to the beauty salon as we walked in the cold, hugging each other.
“I felt the same way when Cillian proposed,” Emma confessed. “But he promised me he’d move wherever I wanted, do things I wanted, and if I ever feel weird about our age gap, I should talk to him.”
“That’s a green flag!” Mia said and stopped walking. “James said the same things, too.”
“What’s stopping you, M?” I asked her.
“I wonder if I’m holding him back…,” she trailed off and shook her head. “I guess we both need to talk before he proposes again.”
I chuckled and agreed with her. We all hugged before driving away separately. I smiled as I saw Void peering outside the window, meowing from the house as I parked my car. My legs were attacked with furious body pets and purrs as soon as I stepped in the house.
