I thought he might want to fuck again, but he wasn’t even hard. All this had been for me.
“You’re the sweetest thing to ever happen to me, Bailey Steele,” he rasped when he had licked me clean. “I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I thank fuck that you’re here.”
I wiped his face, which was a mess, and smiled down at him. “You were you. That’s all you ever had to be. I’m just as lucky to have you.”
He slid up the bed and pulled me into his arms. “I got you a birthday gift. A real one, I mean.”
“Yeah?” I rested my head on his chest, eyes heavy. “Can it wait until morning?”
“Sure, baby. I think you’ll like it.”
I sighed, too tired to care that I was sweaty and sticky and smelled of sex. I fell asleep using Flynn as my pillow.
When I woke the next morning, I slipped out of bed and snuck into the bathroom to piss. That’s when I saw the gift.
A toothbrush, a towel, and a key on an eight-ball key chain, piled on the counter with a small note that said,Happy Birthday, Bailey. I hope I can be your home away from home.
My chest went tight as I stared at the thoughtful gesture.
Behind me, Flynn cleared his throat. “I, uh, know it’s not the same as a gift that costs money?—”
I turned and threw myself into his arms, wrapping him up tight. “It’s perfect. Thank you, Flynn.”
“It’s selfish, really. I want you with me as much as possible. I know you’ll probably move in with your brothers, but…”
I craned my head up. “Flynn, that house is full as fuck. If you’renotready for me to move in, you shouldn’t give me this key, because I’m going to be up in your business all the fucking time.”
“I’m not taking the key back, Bails. Get in my business. Please. I want you there.”
“Good.” I smacked his ass. “Then get in that shower. We’ve got work to do before I leave.”
He grinned. “You have the best ideas.”
As I watched Flynn strip down, revealing a hard, round ass, meaty thighs, and built biceps that could carry me with ease, I couldn’t disagree.
Throwing myself at Flynn was the best idea I’d ever had.
And I’d keep doing it for as long as he let me.
CHAPTER 27
Flynn
“You’re getting an early start.”
Holden’s voice took me by surprise, and I jumped, which jammed my knuckles into the undercarriage of the SUV above me.
“Ow! Fuck.”
It was barely 7:00 a.m., and usually, the guys were a little slower to start their day. I’d come in early because I wanted to get shit done and get out early enough for a nice, long phone call with Bailey this evening.
Maybe even another one of those hot video calls we’d done.
He’d only been gone a couple of days, but I missed the hell out of him. I was secretly really glad he’d decided to quit college after the end of the semester. I wasn’t sure how I’d survive three more years of this torture. I’d do it if it was what Bailey wanted, but I was thrilled I wouldn’t have to.
I shook out my sore knuckles. “Do you have to sneak up on me?”
“Why so jumpy?” Gray said with a smirk. “You fucking our brother or something?”
