“Where are you going?”
I spin at his question, smirking at him. “There’s an extremely hot, naked man in my bed. I’m going to give him some caffeine.” I wiggle my eyebrows. “You know, fuel him up for another round.” I’m trying to be playful, but in reality, I’m protecting Tyrell from this lot. If he comes out here, they are going to pounce all over him.
Nix’s door swings open just as Jed announces, “I’m gonna make breakfast for everyone, fuel that man up properly.”
Tobin points at me. “Then you can go and get your horny ass laid.”
“Oooo, who’s getting laid?” Nix skips into the room, swamped by an oversized shirt.
I glance across the room and spot her boyfriend trailing out after her. He’s shirtless, his sweats hanging low on his hips, and it’s hard not to be impressed by the sight. But he has nothing on my giant of a man, and I have to fight a grin.
“Dani is getting laid after we’ve fueled her and her boyfriend up.”
“Oooo. Dani’s got a boyfriend?” Nix winks at me, her tongue peeking out the side of her mouth.
I roll my eyes. “You guys, seriously. Can you not?—”
My request is cut off when my bedroom door swings open and Black Jack walks out of my room. He’s wearing nothing but the pants he had on last night, and hot damn. My insides trill as I drink him in. The way his lips are twitching tells me just what my expression must be doing right now.
He can see how much I want him, and the hungry look he gives me in return nearly has me bailing on breakfast.
“Don’t you dare,” Tobin quips before grinning at Tyrell. “Good morning, stud muffin.”
“No, it’s the Silent Knight,” Nix corrects him.
Tyrell cringes while Jed laughs. “Shango, baby!”
I hand my poor boyfriend his coffee, groaning at how embarrassing my roommates are.
“Thank you,” he whispers, bending down to kiss my cheek, then the side of my neck, before straightening up and greeting everybody.
I introduce him to Nix’s boyfriend, Ricky, before he takes a seat at the counter and pulls me against his side.
I lean into him, loving his arm around my waist as I sip my coffee.
Loving how thrilling, yet totally normal, this all feels.
Me drinking morning coffee with Tyrell Jackson.
Yeah, I could definitely get used to this.
CHAPTER 36
TYRELL
Dani’s roommates are funny. Well, Tobin and Jed are. I like the way they interact with each other. They’re obviously so in love, and it’s… it’s sweet.
Nix and her boyfriend are giving off cute vibes as well.
At least Nix is. She’s all chipper and bouncy, like she’s snorted a line of love dust and is still riding the high. Ricky can’t stop touching her, brushing his fingers down her arm, nuzzling her neck in between mouthfuls of bacon and egg.
I get it. I’ve got my hip pressed against Dani’s. We’re all piled around the breakfast bar. There weren’t enough stools for everyone, so I offered to stand, but Dani wouldn’t let me.
“You’re way taller than me. You sit, I’ll stand, and it’ll be perfect.” She winked at me, and I couldn’t argue with her.
Tobin’s standing as well, and I glance across the counter at him while he continues to tell his story about New York City. Oh man, those two are buzzing about their big shift.
Dani’s gone really quiet beside me, and I try to catch her eye as Tobin laughs. “And I’m gonna be catching the subway to school. Can you believe it? The subway! I’ve never done that before.”
