“Alright, we getting this party started, or what?”Kai now asks, just as the door opens again and Nate, Sage, Alana and Flynn all walk in.
Alana lets out a shout when she sees my bandmates, running over to greet them before making the introductions with Sage and Flynn.Before she’s done, Owen, Sloane and Eli have arrived, quickly followed by Daisy’s mom and Matt and Malo.
As everyone is saying their hellos, I watch, taking it all in.Everyone I care about is here in this spot, celebrating the love of my life’s new business venture.I don’t care that it’s my money that created all this for her.I’m just so damn proud of her.
So grateful too.And while I know things with Isaac are still lingering, the asshole not getting the hint and just fucking off, I’m taking Daisy’s advice and trying not to react.It’s hard, and a part of me half-expects him to show up tonight and ruin this for her.But I know I have to stop reacting to him every time he pisses me off.Daisy’s right.He’s doing it deliberately, provoking me and hoping for a reaction.
But this time, I’m not going to give him the satisfaction.
“You okay?”Daze asks, slipping her arms around my waist.
“Yeah, all good,” I say, smiling down at her.“It looks great in here.”
Daisy smiles as she looks around her shop.“It does,” she says.“I love having everyone here like this.It’s been a long time since these two crowds have been together.”
Chuckling, I drop a kiss on the top of her head.“It sure has.”
Daisy turns to look up at me, pressing up on her toes to give me a kiss.I slide my hand to the back of her head, holding her to me as I kiss her again.
“It’s going to be different this time around, Miles,” she whispers against my lips.
“I know,” I whisper back.
“Good,” she says with a smile.“Let’s go join the party.”
The night is a lot of fun, everyone hanging out and celebrating Daisy’s Flour Shop.There’s no sign of Isaac, thank fuck, and instead, the night is spent drinking, laughing, and tasting every flavor of cupcake that Daisy can come up with.
By the time we lock up the shop and roll into bed, it’s well past midnight.
“Oh god, I am exhausted,” Daisy groans as she flops back onto her pillow.
Chuckling, I roll over, covering her naked body with mine.“Welcome to owning your own business, babe.”
She huffs out a laugh as she says, “That wasn’t even the shop being open.It was just a party!”
I grin, dropping a quick kiss to the end of her nose as I say, “Yeah, but it’s a lot of work still.”
Her hands move to my hips, sliding up my sides as she looks up at me.“Do you think I’m going to be able to do this?”she asks, her question a whisper in the quietness of our bedroom.
“No, Iknowyou’re going to be able to do it,” I tell her.“And you’ve got me, Daze.I’m always here to help you.”
“I know,” she says with a smile, her hands sliding onto my back.“But I want you to focus on the band too.”
“I can do both, babe.And no matter what happens, you will always come first.”
She smiles up at me as she drags her fingers down my back to my ass.“I know,” she whispers.
“Good,” I say as I close the distance between us, kissing her softly.I feel her fingers dig into my ass, pulling me closer.I’m already halfway to hard as I rest my forearms on either side of her head, my fingers brushing the hair back from her face.“We should get some sleep,” I murmur, my lips still on hers.
“Uh-uh,” she says, arching her body beneath mine as she slides her tongue into my mouth.
Chuckling, I slip my hand down to her boob, my thumb brushing over her nipple.“I thought you were exhausted,” I whisper.
She hooks a leg around mine, pressing herself against my now fully hard dick.“And I thought you knew I never say no to sex with you,” she breathes out, gently tugging on my bottom lip with her teeth.
I huff out a laugh before kissing her, deeper this time, not bothering with words as I pinch her nipple, squeezing her breast before sliding my hand down her body and between us.I already know she’s going to be wet.Daisy has always been so responsive to my touch, and when my fingers move between her legs, tonight is no different.
“Fuck, babe,” I moan, sliding a finger inside her.“You’re so fucking wet.”
