“We don’t have a ton of time to decide. So you need to get on it.” She laughs. “Not their cocks. I think you’ve done enough of that for one night. Or not?? I don’t want to know. Well, not completely. Maybe just a little. No. I don’t. Final answer. What were we talking about?”
My eyes drift up to Tony, who is standing at the end of the booth, with his hand propped on the chair behind her.
“But seriously,” she continues. “If you want to go, they will go. And I know you want to go… so henceforthwith we are going.”
“I don’t think henceforthwith is a word. Henceforth or forthwith…”
“Tomato, tomato.”
We spend the rest of the hour talking about plans for the beach trip like nights we will cook in, nights we will go out, what we need to buy food wise to keep in the house, breakfasts, snacks, and drinks. By the time we leave the bar, I’m excited and pumped about our upcoming vacation and am cussing myself in the car ride home.
Fucking Lizzy strikes again!
Vixen should close within the hour, so I pad into the bathroom and turn on the shower. The oversized rainfall shower head unleashes gallons of water on me, relaxing my muscles. I just stand there and try to figure out how I’m going to tell the boys we have a vacation coming up in a few weeks.
There’s no way. Especially with picking up Allure.
Shit!
Sadness creeps over my skin like an infection because I had let myself get lost in the dream for a moment too long tonight. When I finish up, I climb into bed. I must have fallen asleep because I feel the bed shake what feels like minutes later, but the guys are home and freshly showered, smelling like heaven.
Jax lays down to my right and plants a soft kiss on my head. A light moan escapes as I curl into his chest, at the same time another arm wraps around me.
“I love you,” I say out loud. I don’t qualify it with a name because I don’t have to. My guys have said it to me, and I’ve said it to them. There’s no more hiding or whispering. No more hidden messages in songs. Just love. Open love. Free love.
They all say it back to me. Even Jax mumbles it against my skin before he presses his lips to my neck and my heart swells with emotion.
My guys.
My life.
My everything.
“We’re going to the beach… in a few weeks. I’ll give… you the details tomorrow.”
Darkness creeps in and swallows me up before I can hear them respond.
