I scream.
Piper screams.
Everyone screams.
My sister is suddenly there with a rolling pin in her hand, while Adelaide snatches up a barstool.
“Octavia,” my sister mouths, motioning for us to duck.
We do.
The rolling pin flies over my head. Adelaide hurls the chair, and I manage to tear my boot off and throw it at the door.
“Go away, you monster!” I yell.
Chapter 29
Milo
“A rolling pin I can handle. Good thing it wasn’t a bloody dildo this time.” Arlo says from beside me.
“I’m not even going to ask,” Isaak says. “Because whatever that means, I already know it’s something I don’t want to understand, and frankly couldn’t give less of a damn about.”
“What the actual hell are you doing here?” my gorgeous girl shrieks.
I take her in.
Fuck, how I have missed her. It has been nine hours and fifty three minutes.
My obsession stands in front of me with one boot still on and the other discarded somewhere near my feet, her cheeks flushed pink from the cold. Her hat sits crooked on her head.
She looks furious.
She looks perfect.
She looksmine.
I kick my boots off, snow dusting the entryway, and shrug out of my jacket.
I step forward. “What are you doing here, psycho?” my girl asks, tugging off her jacket as she takes a cautious step back, watching me advance.
“You thought you could run off and I wouldn’t follow? You wound me, spitfire.”
She opens her mouth, clearly ready to lash out again, but I close the remaining distance between us and sling her over my shoulder.
“Let me know which room is ours, baby,” I say, already heading for the stairs.
“Fucking hell, you are not sleeping in my room, you psycho. Get lost, or I swear I’ll kill you in your sleep.”
“Ah, that’s your love language, isn’t it? You do know how hard you make me when you get filthy.”
“You disgust me,” she says, without any real heat.
“Say it like you mean it, gorgeous.”
I reach the top of the stairs and pause, glancing down the hallway.
“Baby,” I murmur, tightening my grip on her thighs, “tell me which room is ours, or I start checking every single one of them.”
