Jaxon leaned over and whispered, “I can make myself scarce if you need some sister time.”
I smiled. “This is why I love you best.”
He chuckled and kissed my cheek before focusing back on his food.
With a girls’ night in planned, we finished dinner, and Jaxon headed upstairs to work while I changed into PJs to hang with my sisters. Of course, Jaxon pretty much had to carry me downstairs and settle me on the sofa, but then he made himself scarce.

Jaxon
Ihad just hung upwith Brock when a knock came at the bedroom door. I pulled it open to find Lyric and I frowned. “Everything okay.”
“Oh, yes. But NiNi’s sacked out on the sofa. She had pretty much an entire bottle of wine. Figured you’d want to know, so you didn’t worry.”
“She shouldn’t be drinking...”
“She said she hasn’t had anything harder than ibuprofen, so I didn’t stop her.”
“Yeah, I guess that’s true.” I smiled. “So she had fun.”
“We all did. It was much needed, so thank you for helping to facilitate that.”
“Don’t know that I can take any credit.”
“You could have whisked her away and showed her a good time, but you didn’t, so...”
I chuckled. “Maybe so.”
“Anyway, I’m going to fall into bed now. I’m too old for junk food and copious amounts of booze.”
“I’ll go check on Harmony. Sleep well.”
“Thanks. You too.”
Lyric headed off to her room and I made my way downstairs to see if I could rouse my woman. She was curled up on the huge sofa, a blanket wrapped around her and her hair covering her face. I reached down and slid her golden locks gently away and stroked her cheek. Jesus, she was beautiful.
I gathered her into my arms and lifted her, and she sighed as she looped her arms around my neck and burrowed against me. “Hi.”
“Hey, baby. I heard you had fun.”
“Somuch fun,” she breathed out. “I’m a little drunk.”
I smiled. “I heard that, too.”
“I had wine,” she whispered as I carried her upstairs.
“I know.”
She slid her face into my neck and pressed her lips to my pulse. “Wine makes me horny.”
I walked into her room and set her feet on the floor. “You’ve mentioned that before.”
She bit her lip and smiled up at me. She wore pink fluffy pajamas with horses all over them, and I noticed that Lyric had been wearing the same. So fuckin’ cute how they wore matching PJs and had a girls’ night, and now she knelt in front of me and fumbled with the zipper on my jeans.
“Baby—”
“I swear to god, if you try to tell me I’m too drunk to suck you off, I’ll be really pissed.”
