“Why would you tell me that? Now, I’m panicking.”
His fingers go to my cheek, caressing. “Why, baby?”
“Because my brother isn’t going to like the fact we’re together.”
“Probably not, but do you really care what anyone else thinks?”
I really don’t. Not deep down. They either get on-board with me and Dane or they can ship off. I love him. Not that I’ve told him this, but I do. He’s my everything and I won’t give that up, not even for my family.
“Do you think he knows then?”
“Well, he didn’t slug me in the face when I came into the room, so who knows. Either way, he’ll know before he leaves. I won’t keep you a secret.”
While this warms me, it also has icy shards attacking my insides.
“I don’t want you and my brother to fight, especially not while you’re already hurt.”
He kisses my nose. “It won’t come to that, baby. I’ve known your brother a long time. I know how Logan ticks. He’ll be upset, but he’ll get over it. Trust me to sort this out.”
I nod, indicating I do. I just don’t trust Logan’s reaction.
Although of my three brothers Logan’s the least likely to murder Dane. He’s always had a good control of his temper. It’s why he makes such a good Sergeant-at-Arms. He’s rational, he’s not hot-headed, unlike Jem, and he’s a good problem solver. He’s always my go-to if I’m having problems I need fixing. Not that I try to bother any of my brothers with my shit, but sometimes it can’t be helped.
“I hope you’re right.”
He brushes his mouth over mine. “I’m always right.”
I snort, but I hope on this occasion his own hype is deserved. The last thing I want is for my… boyfriend? Old man? To throw down against my brother.
“Let me talk to Logan first.”
“Baby… no.”
“Please, Dane. I owe him that much.”
He doesn’t look happy about this, but he nods. “Fine, but if he upsets you…”
I roll my eyes. “I’m not scared of my brother and I can take care of myself.” I type, “But thank you for caring.”
His mouth meets mine. “Of course I care. You’re mine.”
I’m his.
But that also means he’s mine too.
I mouth ‘mine’ at him and he grins.
