“Night, big brother.”

“Night.”

Hanging up, I slide the phone into my pocket and finish my smoke. Once inside, I lock up behind me and turn out all the lights on my way up to Evie’s bedroom. She’s drying off, and before she can grab a nightshirt, I move in behind her.

“You won’t need that,” I whisper.

“Is that so? You good to go again?”

“If I could live inside you, I fucking would.”

She turns in my arms and looks me in the eye. “What’s going on? You seem… happy.”

“I just spoke to Lex. I guess my dad’s dying.”

She frowns. “Shouldn’t you be less… I don’t know, gleeful about it?”

“Nah, babe. It’s the best fucking news I’ve ever heard.”

And tonight, I’m going to celebrate by sinking into the woman I love, and not giving him another thought.
