He helps me stand, then goes over to the phone and orders room service, burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, and a salad. I almost laugh at him because I know one hundred percent that he’s going to make me eat that salad first, not because he thinks I’m fat but because of the flare-up. He’ll let me have chicken though. I smile when he hangs up and walks over to me.

Saunters is more like it.

Damn, he’s so good looking.

He pulls his shirt over his head and tosses it onto the bed, then shrugs out of his jeans and briefs. He’s naked, walking toward me, and then pulling my shirt over my head, my shorts to the ground, peeling my socks from my feet, and then unstrapping my bra before walking past me and turning on the shower.

He tests the water and turns around, holding out his hand. “Come on.”

I smile and follow him into the water. It’s cleansing as it washes down my face and body. We’re both quiet as we shower together. I think we’ve both spoken enough words for the next hour.

He leans down and starts cleaning my feet, then silently stands and starts washing his hair while I wash mine—it’s like it’s normal for us to shower together and it does feel that way except for the fact that I want to cling to him.

“It’s easier,” he says after he rinses the soap out.

I frown. “What is?”

“Crying in the shower, nobody can see your tears.”

“But I’ll know.”

“I won’t tell anyone.” Quinn grabs me by the arm and pulls me against him. I burst into tears immediately. “I’m not leaving your side, all right? But I do have one question…”

I cling to him, my arms almost hurting from holding him so tight.

“You’re sure you’re just a twin, not a triplet, right? Like no more surprises?”

My tears soon turn to laughter. “I needed that.”

“Dude, I’m serious, I’ve already aged like ten years in two days.” He pulls back and tilts my chin toward him. “Just you and Sophie?”

“Just us.” I press a kiss to his mouth. “Just me and you, no surprises.”

“Good.” He deepens the kiss, then slowly presses me back against the shower wall, I hook a leg around him, while he lifts me onto his hips sliding into me so easy it’s almost embarrassing.

With slow thrusts and the steam from the shower billowing around us, I cling to him. I smile.

And I know that Quinn is mine, just like I’m his.

I know this feels good.

I know he’ll stay by my side.

His mouth finds my neck and grabs hold as he peppers kisses all up and down my skin. I’m there before I can say anything, but I don’t need to as I feel his release as if it’s my own.

He keeps me pinned there and stares into my eyes. “PS, I love you.”

“You love me?”

“I love you,” he says it again. “And it’s okay if you don’t love me yet, but all it took was thinking you were gone to realize that I would do anything to have you by my side.”

My eyes fill with more tears. “I love you too.” I hug him tight as he gently pulls out of me. “But why the PS?”

He smiles like he has a secret. “You’ll see.”

Later that night, after eating, we fall asleep watching TV, his head’s in my lap, and he refuses to let go of my hand.

I start to move to grab him a blanket when he wakes up and sits up, then stands. “Let’s go to bed.”
