“She just doesn’t understand.”
“Then take a shower and get ready while I get you coffee and a muffin.”
“Okay.” She wraps her arms around me, pressing her naked body to mine.
“Wrong move.” I pick her up and deposit her on the bed, lying on top of her.
“X!”
I position myself between her legs, and when my tongue slides along the length of her folds, her objections stop. Using every one of my skills, I grin against her center when she’s grabbing onto my hair and grinding onto my face.
After she’s come, I leave her recovering from her orgasm and kiss her belly. “Be right back.”
“You’re dangerous.”
I laugh, walking out of the room, down the stairs, and out of her house.
The thing about Clara’s house is it’s closer to town, while my house is out on the other side of the bay. The view is great and the privacy is nice, but it’s a pain in the morning when you’re out of coffee.
I walk to downtown and head into The Grind, finding Zoe behind the counter. I order myself a coffee and Clara’s favorite, the chai latte. Zoe stops writing for a moment, then peers up at me with a smirk. She’s practically family, so I don’t mind her knowing. I give her a discreet nod. Besides, with my family’s big mouths, it won’t be long until everyone knows anyway.
“Then you should get a morning glory muffin too, I’m assuming?”
She knows Clara as well as I do. “Yeah and I’ll have—”
“Streusel, I know. It’ll be right up.”
I pay Zoe and wait for my order on the other side of the counter. Presley and Cade walk in with Leighton in a stroller.
“Hey, X,” Cade says, nodding at me. He wheels the stroller over to me while Presley orders for them.
“She’s really getting a personality, huh?” I bend down to my newest niece and pretend to tickle her stomach.
“Yeah, you caught her at a good time of day. She’s happiest in the morning. We wanted to get her fresh air. Presley read some book that said for her to get used to the weather, we need to take her out in all temps. I mean, whatever.” He shrugs.
“I can see that.” I stand and shove my hands in my pockets.
“Looks like you’re wearing the same thing you were last night?” Cade’s eyebrows rise. He’s my oldest brother and tends to be overprotective. We all looked up to him growing up.
“I am.”
“Are you sure this is what you want?” Cade asks in a low voice, which I have a feeling comes more from Presley than him.
“Clara is what I want. I know I was a dick for the past two years, acting like some arrogant asshole with the fancy suits, limos, and model girlfriend, but I’ve come back down to reality. Dad being sick…”
Cade nods, probably not wanting to talk about it. Dad’s illness took us all somewhere we didn’t want to go. “Yeah. I gotcha on that.”
Presley acts as though she’s interested in watching them make the coffee, most likely so she doesn’t have to talk to me. But I’m glad she’s here because I need to talk to her.
“Do you mind if I talk to Presley for a moment?”
“Not sure that’s a good idea. Give it some time,” Cade says, making it clear where Presley stands on Clara and me.
“Presley,” I say, ignoring Cade’s advice.
“I said not now.” Cade’s voice is stronger, more authoritative now.
Presley looks at Cade, and he shrugs.
