“I’m so happy you could come.”
“I couldn’t sleep last night. I just wanted to meet you already.”
“You’resopretty!”
Then Miss Sebastian pulls back, and she notices the shirt Evie is wearing.
“OhmyGod!”
“Ahhhhhhhh!”
“Iloveyourshirt.”
Evie’s smile keeps growing, and when Miss Sebastian finally glances in my direction, the tray catches her eyes.
Her hands fly to her cheeks. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
“Bedazzled unicorns!”
She grabs the tray from me and holds the damn thing like a newborn baby, cooing at each fucking cookie.
“Yeah, no one will be getting near those,” I grumble under my breath.
Miss Sebastian hears me and shoots me a glare that promises pain and destruction.
“Touch my bedazzled babies, and I’ll show you my cray-cray side.”
She twirls around on her heels, probably to go hide the tray so none of us can find it. As she disappears back into the house in a burst of color, I chuckle.
“And that’s my Miss Sebastian in all her glory.”
When I glance down at Evie, the look of wonder on her face catches me by surprise.
“What’s that look for?”
She places a hand on my chest, and standing on her toes, she presses a kiss to my cheek. My hands instantly grab hold of her hips, and I have to fight the urge to yank her closer so I can feel her perfect body pressed against mine.
I’ve given her a few hugs since we met up again, but this is the first time I get to touch her. My fingers dig into her, and I realize all over again, how small Evie is compared to me. She’s always been tiny, but staring down at her and feeling her petite body under my hands just brings it home again.
As if it never entirely died, my protective side roars to life, knocking the breath from my lungs.
Before she pulls back, she whispers, “There’s the Rhett I remember.”
The words are my undoing, and I tug her closer. A surprised gasp parts her lips, and her eyes dart to mine.
As I start to lean down, my hands slide to the swells of her ass and gripping a handful of each cheek, I press her tightly to me until I feel her nipples straining against my chest.
The sound of a car pulling up the drive breaks the moment between us, and Evie almost stumbles in her hurry to pull back.
A deep blush colors her cheeks, and as she turns around to see who just got here, I use her body as a shield to shove my hard dick into a less visible position. I will it to calm down before I embarrass myself.
Willow rushes toward Evie, and they fall into an embrace.
Over the tops of their heads, I look at Marcus. Looking at him now, I can’t believe we almost lost him.
Marcus reaches a hand out to me, and I take hold of it and then yank him into a bear hug.
“You’ve gotta stop doing that, dude,” he grumbles, but there’s no sting to his words, and that’s why I’ll never stop.
