“Maddox showed up at Sweet Temptations today. He wanted to talk. He may have mentioned that you refused to talk to him until he made things right with me.”
He digs his knuckles into my arch, and I moan and basically forget my own name.
“You blow me away, Caitlin. Your confidence. Your loyalty. You. I am constantly in awe of you.” He puts one foot down and picks up the other and starts again.
“I’m sorry. I guess I should have told you...”
“No, Cait. I get it, and I appreciate it. Thank you.” He leans over, lifts my shirt and kisses my belly. “I love you.”
“Promise, Callen?”
“Promise.”
CALLEN
Leo
Bitches be crazy.
Nixon
That’s because they don’t like being called bitches, asshole.
Leo
Nah . . . they were crazy before that.
Maddox
You know you’re a fucking idiot, right?
Callen
I’ve been saying this for years.
Killian
They’re not all nuts.
Leo
I beg to differ.
Maddox
Someone help him. They don’t like when you beg, man.
Nixon
You don’t tell people you’re my brother, do you?
Callen
I’ve been acting like we’re not related for years.
Killian
Can’t help you.
