“She knows it too. I send her songs saying as much.”
“Songs are great and she probably knows it, but it would be nice for her to hear it.”
“Why are you pushing this?”
“Sorry. I don’t mean to. I just… I’m scared you’re letting fear win.”
“Fear?” I scoff.
He shrugs. “Look. You say you’re good. I’ll believe you. I’m going to go say hey to our girl.”
“Careful,” I warn.
He’s chuckling as he’s walking away.
EVERLEE – CALLING PANTY PATROL, AISLE FUCK
“Iforsurethoughtyou were going to get a fuck from the way he dragged you into that office,” Lizzy says to me when I get back to the table.
“Gross. I’m right here,” Beckett chimes in.
Lizzy shrugs, “Next time I’ll call earmuffs, but it was a legit thought.”
“I think Will and I are going to go dance.”
“I may join you in a bit.” I wanted to give Jax a chance to calm down because I knew this outfit was likely to set some of the men on fire. Jax was at the top of the list, followed closely by Callum. But I also wanted them to know they can’t control me. I’m wearing underwear and it’s really no different from wearing a bathing suit. Speaking of, what are they going to do in the summer when we go to the beach? Walk around with a towel around me?
I asked them about the beach this morning and showed them the house Lizzy had found. The guys seemed on board, even though they didn’t give a firm answer. I’d have to get that tonight because the house looks amazing and it’s right on the beach. I don’t want anyone else to get it.
Lizzy, Tony, and I watch the boys head to the dance floor. I know Will’s new to the lifestyle, in terms of being out publicly, but he seems to be doing a good job with it. Tonight, he wore a white tank that had the word LOVE splashed across it in rainbow colors with matching rainbow shorts. I don’t know if it’s easier for him here since he doesn’t know anyone or because we’re just accepting. Whatever it is, I’ll take it. He seems to fit Beckett’s personality well, and conversely, I would say Beckett probably helps to bring him out of his shell some.
“Darling,” a voice coos behind me.
When I turn around, Callum is standing there looking down at me. I stand to give him a hug and his arms slide across my back and he lets out a low hum.
“You look…” he pauses, trying to find the right words.
I smack my lips and roll my eyes, causing him to chuckle.
“You’ll have to wear this again… in private.”
My stomach tightens and goosebumps race across my skin. “How mad is Jax?”
“Jax? Mad?” He shakes his head. “He’s just concerned.”
“He has nothing to worry about with me.”
“Not you love. He trusts you. It’s the others here.”
“I can handle them, too.”
“That’s probably true, but Jax… he can’t handle it.”
“Well, he better learn.”
“Yes. I suppose he will, won’t he?”
“I did wear underwear, though.” I smile, batting my hair playfully.
