It’s her turn to glare. I step forward, leaning so that my lips are against her ear. “Remember what I said. Whenever you decide you want something more, I’m here. Until then...” I suck her earlobe into my mouth and bite down, loving the gasp that leaves her lips. “I’ll be such a good boy.”
I’m yanked away from Delaney and pulled out into the hall. Logan pushes me against the wall next to the closet door as it clicks shut.
“What is wrong with you!” Logan spits in my face.
“You need to calm the fuck down and get the fuck off me,” I growl, giving him a little push back. “It was one last time, Logan. One last time before our parents get married tomorrow. And don’t give me that look,” I scoff, shaking my head. “I know you want her. I know you wish you could have her, too.”
“Yes.” He lets out a harsh breath. “That much, I can admit. But it’s wrong. None of us should want her.”
“It’s not wrong.” I point in his face. “Don’t make it sound dirty. We’re fucking adults, Logan. We didn’t know who we were to each other when we met. And just because our parents are getting married doesn’t change that. As much as I don’t want to, I’ll back off because she wants me to. I’ll back off out of respect for you and Elijah. But know this, if there ever comes a day that she wants something more, you both better have your shit together and be ready to take that step, because I can’t have her unless you do.”
“What the hell does that mean?” he whispers harshly. “Nothing can ever happen between me and her.”
“I know you got screwed over badly by that bitch. And I feel for you, I do. I love Benny, and I will fight for that little man. But not all women are Stacy. So don’t shut down something good just because you're afraid to get hurt again.”
Delaney opens the door, gaining both of our attention. Her face is bright red. She only meets our eyes for a small second before rushing away.
“Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to my car to jack off.”
I leave my brother gaping at me in shock as I head out to the parking lot. What does he expect? It’s not going to go away on its own. Not with Laney’s release still on my tongue and the sound of her moans echoing through my head.
Now I have to decide if what I just did was a good decision or if I just screwed myself over by having a piece of something I can’t ever have.
Chapter 8
Delaney
––––––––
For the rest of the rehearsal dinner, I made sure to keep my distance from the guys and focus on Mom and my aunties.
The next morning, the whole house is up early. I pray the makeup artist is good because I’m going to need a lot of concealer to cover up the dark circles under my eyes.
I might have gotten a few hours of sleep last night, but that's about it. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was Owen on his knees while feeling his mouth on my pussy and the pure blinding pleasure that man brought me to with those sinful lips and that magic tongue of his.
“Morning, honey.” Mom laughs as I sit heavily on the barstool.
“Morning.” The word comes out garbled as I lay my head down on the cool marble countertop.
“Rough night, Laney?” Auntie Eden asks with a laugh.
“You were drinking that wine last night like it was grape juice,” Auntie Sylvia says, amused.
“No,” I sigh, lifting my head. “Just couldn’t sleep.”
“You okay?” Mom asks, brows furrowing.
“I’m fine, Mom.” I give her a sleepy smile. “Just excited about today.”
Her smile returns. “I can’t believe I’m getting married.” She sighs happily. “I thought I’d be freaking out, you know? Maybe get cold feet. But all I can think about is how excited I am to spend the rest of my life with James. I’ve never felt like this before. Not for anyone.” She gives me a guilty look. She means, not even for my father. And that's fine. She got me out of it, and that's all that matters to her and me.
“You deserve it, Mama.” I stand up and wrap my arms around her, giving her a big squeeze. “I’m so happy for you.”
“Thank you.” We pull apart, but Mom keeps her hands on my arms. “And thank you for moving here, Laney. I don’t think I’d ever be able to truly relax knowing you were on the other side of the country. I’d be worried about you more than anything.”
I know she would. She was almost as shaken up about the attack as I was. She never wanted me to leave the house.
“I’m glad I’m here. I think Rose Briar Hill will be a good fit for me.” I just didn’t expect my life to become so complicated with the summer flings I had before arriving here.
