I made sure Liam was with me the whole time so she wouldn’t start shit, and when I confronted her about the picture and rumor she was spreading she didn’t deny it. She’d already showed everyone and said that our big secret was out and that’s what I got for fucking my sister.
I went into a rage and lashed out, but luckily Liam was there to grab me and get me out of there. But it was too late and the damage was done. Everyone saw my reaction so they knew there was some truth to what Court was saying. There was no way to close Pandora’s box, and the secret I’d kept in my heart for so long was out in the open. In the blink of an eye.
“You have nothing to be ashamed of, but she can’t go in that dance blind.” Liam’s voice is solemn as he shakes his head. “Give her a chance to stick up for herself. I think you’ll be surprised.”
I think it over for a second and realize he’s right. If I don’t give Ali the opportunity to arm herself from the backlash, then I’m going to end up hurting her further. I push away from the table and toss my napkin down.
Walking to the back of the restaurant, I see the sign for the women’s restroom. I push open the door to find a small, empty lounge. I walk through another door and see Ali at the sink with tears in her eyes and Lindsey beside her with her hand on her shoulder.
“Can I have a second with my sister?” I ask, and Lindsey looks at Ali for confirmation.
When Ali nods I wait for Lindsey to walk out before I step closer to her.
“I fucked up,” I say, and Ali blinks at me a few times in surprise.
“How?” Her eyes are pleading as I step closer to her then shove my hands in my pockets to keep myself from reaching for her.
“Because I want you and I didn’t want the outside world to mess that up.” I shake my head as I try to make her understand. “Court texted me last night. That’s where I went.”
“You went to see Court after we…” She trails off and an image of me on my knees eating her pussy pushes into my mind.
“I went to see her because she had a picture of us kissing outside Joe’s.”
“Oh God.” Her face pales and she brings her fingers to her mouth.
“It’s out,” I say, but I’m surprised at how much better I feel now that I’ve told Ali.
“Mom and Dad?” she asks simply, and I shrug.
“I’m sure it’s only a matter of time, but for now I don’t think they’ve heard.” I take another step forward and this time I’m right in front of her. I put my finger under her chin and tilt it back so she can look up at me. “If we go to this dance tonight, everyone will know we’re together.”
“And you don’t want them to know,” she says softly. I can see the hurt in her eyes.
“No.” I shake my head. “I don’t give a fuck who knows anymore. All I’ve ever wanted was to protect you. I love you, Ali. I’ve loved you since I was a boy, and now I love you as a man. I’m tired of hiding what I feel and pushing you away to stop it from happening because I’m worried about the fallout. I’m not doing that anymore and I won’t let you do it either.”
“Drake.” My name is a whisper on her lips before I lean down and kiss her.
She grips my tux as my arms wrap around her waist. Her mouth opens and she tastes warm and sweet. My cock throbs between my legs. I touch her tongue with mine and it’s soft like her pussy. I don’t think I can wait until tonight to have her. Because I will have her before the night is over.
I pull her against me and turn her so that her back is against the door. I flip the lock and get down on my knees as I start to push her dress up.
“What are you doing? We can’t do this here,” she says but holds the beaded material up around her waist.
“Don’t tell me when to eat this pussy,” I growl, yanking the cotton material to the side and sucking on her sweet, soft lips. “You’re mine.” I’ve waited long enough. The floodgates have opened and there is no going back. I won’t be denied my Ali girl anymore.
“Yes,” she gasps, rolling her hips against my mouth and pushing her pussy close to me.
“We’re going to this dance tonight hand-in-hand and I’m going to let everyone see that you belong to me.” I swipe my tongue over her clit and she hisses.
