“Because I kept a secret.”

Her finger meets my lips to silence me. “I’m not mad, handsome, I’m grateful, now I know,” she says and then kisses me.

I pull back. “You know what?”

“That you definitely fucking love my crazy ass,” she smiles, kissing my cheek, my nose, my lips, then pauses to look into my eyes. “And I love you, too. I love you with every broken piece of me, forever.” She kisses me deeply and I pull her up, my palms under her thick ass as she wraps her legs around me. She’s smaller and I don’t fucking like it. My cock hardens underneath her and I want nothing more than to fuck her right here and now. Someone clears their throat. Breaking our kiss, we look over at Cora.

“Can we save this for later? Like, can y’all take a rain check or something? The cookies and cupcakes are almost done and I want to eat them with both of you.”

“Of course, best friend. I just wanted to show Kohen my appreciation,” Alex tells her and she laughs.

“Yeah, with your vagina.” She face palms and I join in on the laughter.

“Okay ladies, there’s enough of me to go around. We don’t have to fight.” We all break out in laughter as I set Alex down and we head back towards the kitchen. Pausing in the pantry, I hold Alex back by her arm.

“You can invite Levi over. Let’s make it a movie night.”

“Thanks, handsome. He would love that and so would I.” She pulls her phone out, begins her walk back to the kitchen, and then turns to face me.

“I know this won’t be perfect and I know we have things to talk about and work through, but I do want this.” She gestures between us and I smile, walking up to her and pulling her into my arms.

“I want this too, angel. All of it.” Placing a gentle kiss on her lips, I pull back and just stare at her beautiful face, hoping that this isn’t some twisted dream I’ll wake up from.

“Come on, love birds!” Cora shouts from the kitchen.

“Coming,” I yell back.

“Gross! You better not mean that literally.”

Alex giggles and I grab a handful of her ass. “Let’s go before she comes back, she needs her rest.’ Alex looks at me confused but doesn’t press me on it. Instead, she calls Levi as we enter the kitchen. I walk over to Cora and place an arm around her shoulder.

“See,” she says. “I told you it would all work out.”

With that, we start to get all the junk food together we can for movie night.

Chapter 15

Alex

MyhandsshakeasI text Levi. I don’t know why. If I could take one guess it would be the fact that my two worlds are about to collide. It hasn’t been long but it feels like Kohen is the past, a past that I want so desperately to become my future, while Levi is my present, my safety, my best friend. My anxiety comes from loving them both and being terrified that I might have to choose one. I’m not saying that’s going to happen but I have this fear, that old voice in my head, that both Kohen and Levi worked hard to scare away. I don’t deserve the love.

I shake the intrusive thoughts away and take a deep breath before hitting send.

Me: Hey, Lee!

The bubbles appear almost instantly, my dependable best friend. A smile spreads across my face. This is going to be good. It has to be. Maybe everything is aligning for me, for us.

Levi: What’s up, sweetness?

I still don’t know why he calls me sweetness, but it makes me laugh because I know I am far from being sweet.

Me: You still haven’t told me why you call me that? ??

Levi: Maybe I never will…

Me: Anyway…

Levi: Need something?
