“Good girl,” Daniel says behind me.
I kiss Lara’s neck loudly, then pull my head back slightly, wanting to see her face. I need to check for myself that she’s okay. Lara copies me, leaning back a little. I keep a solid hand in the center of her back to stop her from going too far. Brushing the hair away from her face, I cup her cheek. “That’s my princess.” I wink at Lara, and my hands drop to her ass.
“Are you okay?” she whispers.
“I am now.” I nod, squeezing her jean-clad ass.
“Everything was fine last night. Had a cop car sit in the drive, so I stood guard out here,” Kaleb reports.
“We heard. You did good,” Daniel praises him.
“Thank you,” I say.
Our younger brother shrugs like it was nothing, but it wasn’t.
Like I said, actions speak louder. Kaleb’s a good man, and he’ll make a great husband and father one day. He deserves that kind of love. I hope he finds it soon, no matter who he chooses.
“Oh, I got you a present,” our younger brother announces.
I frown, but Kaleb’s excited. He doesn’t wait for us to ask what it is.
“It’s in the outhouse.”
We only take one thing back there . . . people.
Knowing just that, Charlie jumps down. “I should go check on Belle.”
Reluctantly, Daniel lets his wife leave, knowing where our conversation is going.
“I’ll finish out here, and then I’ll be in for a cuddle.”
“A you-and-me cuddle or a family cuddle?” she questions, walking backward.
“A family cuddle and stop walking backward. You’ll trip and hurt yourself.”
“In that case, I’ll keep my clothes on.” Charlie chuckles, but she stumbles slightly, turning back to the house.
Daniel gives his wife an “I told you so” look. Flashing her teeth, Charlie quickly heads inside.
Lara climbs down, but I keep her close with an arm wrapped around her waist.
“Who?” I ask.
“Those two friends from the party at the camp. They were up on the incline watching the house since early hours.”
The minute Lara realizes what Kaleb meant by “present,” her feet shift, her sneakers scuffing on the rough ground.
I stroke her back, attempting to settle her. “When did you have time?”
“When the cop car left. Snuck around behind them. It was kind of fun. It’s been a while.”
I still Lara with a small tap to her ass when she tries to pull away from me, but I don’t get to do much more as a car approaches, traveling down the drive at pace.
Fuck me, can we get a break?
Cooper soon comes into sight, his face pinched and angry as he glares at us through the windshield.
I roll my neck again, the muscles in my shoulders feeling tighter and tighter.
