Cade is going to blow a gasket over this, and I can’t wait.
After stretching my body again, I rest my hand between my legs, smiling at the memory of Zane’s fingers inside me. Just like when we were younger, that man has the ability to blow my mind and make me swoon all in one go, but I didn’t expect the emotion to come flowing back so quickly, like we never even parted ways.
Movement around the apartment pulls me from my Zane bubble, and I drag myself out of bed, biting my lip as a burning sensation lights up my core.
Nathan and I had sex. At least we used to when we were back in Florida, but he never pushed me to my limits like Zane.
And he only used his fingers.
I once again imagine his cock buried deep inside me, and the burn turns to longing as my legs clench. There’s no doubt that my body wants him; I just have to let my heart run wild. I have to stop thinking about what’s done, or what could have been, and focus on how I feel. Because if I do, I bet I’ll come to realize I never stopped loving him.
“Leave her alone, Cade,” Jenna calls out, drawing my attention while I frown.Is she talking about me?
Wrapping my robe around my shoulders, I open my door and find Cade staring back at me, his arms folded over his chest, a glare marring his features.
“What’s that look for?” I roll my eyes, crossing my arms to match his stance.
“You know what it’s for.”
“I really don’t.”
“Where’s Zane?”
A laugh escapes me but I stifle it when he groans. “Oh, stop. I’m an adult now, Cade. You can drop the overbearing big brother act.”
“It’s not an act.”
“Sadly, I know that.”
“Well then, you must also know that I’m not going to stop caring about you. I know Zane was here when we got home. Did he spend the night in your room?”
I consider his question for a beat. My answer could go either way, and I want to make sure I give the response that’s going to piss him off the most. “He did, but he’s not here now.”
“What do you mean he’s not here? What time did he leave?”
“I don’t know. I was sleeping.”
“You weresleeping? Did that fucker sneak out?”
“I wouldn’t put it that way.”
“Why couldn’t he wait until you woke up?”
For someone that constantly complained about missing his best friend and told me I should have talked to him when he was in Jacksonville after the hospital, he’s sure quick to change his mind. And now I’m the one that’s pissed off.
“It’s a Monday, Cade. Don’t football teams practice or work out on Mondays?”
“Most do, yes. But most also expect their players to travel home with the team after the Sunday game, and that didn’t seem to bother him. He could have stayed.”
“Aww. Do you miss him?” Jenna teases and he redirects his glare. “Is that what this is about?”
I burst out laughing while Cade huffs in annoyance. “No. This is about Blair.”
“And I’mfine. I don’t know why you’re getting so worked up about this. I thought you wanted Zane and me to talk. I thought you wanted him back in our lives?”
“Idid. Ido. But that was before he slept in your room and snuck out ahead of sunrise.”
“You’re being ridiculous.” I walk back into my room and Jenna follows, slamming the door in Cade’s face when he tries to come in.
