“1A67”
“Yes, you’
“) can’t make any promises, Mom”
I glance at Finn. His expression has gone dim Clouded. I know that face. It’s the one he wears when he’s trying to swallow something bitter without choking. And for once, I’m not reaching to offer him water. Even his mother knows Delilah’s toxic for him Thank God. Maybe that would put a halt to his plans.
The sound of Knox digging into the plastic bag he’s carrying fills the room. He pulls out a small box. It’s matte black and shiny around the edges. Definitely jewelry.
He stands and walks over to his mother, handing the box to her
“What is this?” she asks, her voice soft with suspicion.
“A retirement present”
She takes it from him, opens it, and gasps. “Is that…?”
“Diamonds”
“Honey, it’s beautiful”
“Not as beautiful as you are.”
Finn rolls his eyes so hard I hear it.
Victoris stands and wraps Knox in a tight hug. “Thank you, baby. I love it. But why do I feel like you want something in return?”
“Can’t I do anything for my mother without ill intent?”
“No.”
Knox sighs, “Fine. I’m hoping you can keep Dad away from me throughout this trip.”
“Come on, Knox. He’s your father,”
“And I’m trying to be good this weekend. He’s going to paint me as a villain in front of people I admire.”
His eyes slide over to me.
“Admire?” Victoria asks, blinking at the word. “Who might that be?”
“Just… keep your husband away, Mom.”
She laughs. “Then you’ll need to be out before 2PM. He’ll be done in the library by then.”
“Deal,”
Knox grabs another box and tosses it to Finn, who catches it out of reflex.
“An apology gift,” he says. “To you, my little brother.”
“Apology?” Victoria asks. “I thought you both said nothing happened.”
“You know how it is, Mom. The good ol’ sibling rivalry.”
“Knox…”
“It’s nothing. We’re cool now.”
Finn opens the box, tilting it enough for me to catch a glimpse of a watch glinting in the light-sleek, masculine, designer. The kind you wear to silent auctions or exclusive clubs.
From the look on Finn’s face, he likes it.
“Go and sin no more, Knox,” he says, eyes still on the watch.
And right then, Knox decides to include me in his shenanigans.
“I also have something for the lady over there who seems to eat really slowly.”
I stare at him and the bag still hanging by his side. I want to say something-anything-but my voice is gone. He a present?
“You can give it to me, Finn says eyes narrowing. “I’ll give it to Sloane.”
“I got this, brother.”
And then he walks.
Closer.
And closer. ht me May 17
Every step makes the room feel smaller, the air thinner
He stops in front of me. Takes out a small box and opens it.
A necklace. Dainty. Elegant. Sparkling like stardust.
“May 1?” he asks.
The Bigger Box
The Bigger Box
My mouth opens, but no sound comes out. I hate that my heart is pounding so loudly I’m afraid everyone in the house can hear it.
“It’s so…”
“Beautiful?” he finishes, with that cocky little tilt of his head.
Yes. But that wasn’t the word I was going for. Exquisite. Breathtaking. Impossibly timate in front of his entire family. Ther s what it is.
But I nod.
He steps behind me, and the world tilts a little. Maybe from the anticipation. Or maybe because I’ve stopped breathing again. He doesn’t touch me right away. He leans in, close enough for me to feel the heat rolling off his chest. His scent curls around me like smoke. He brushes my hair to the side with slow, intentional fingers, his knuckles grazing the back of my neck. My skin erupts in goosebumps.
“Relax,” he murmurs, low enough that only I can hear.
As if that’s even an option.
I feel him reach around me, the chain of the necklace grazing my collarbone. His knuckles brush my jaw on the way up. unintentional maybe, but it still makes my stomach clench. Then his thumb skims over the side of my neck, right where my pulse won’t stop kicking. It’s nothing, just a touch-but my whole body reacts like it’s everything.
“There we go,” he says, fastening the clasp.
He doesn’t move away.
He stays there.
Breathing beside my ear.
His mouth dips to the shell of it, and-God help me-I shiver.
“Come out with me tonight,” he whispers.
“…”
“Don’t say a word. Just listen. Think about how good it felt when I was inside you-how you clung to me, how loud you gat when you came. I’m not done with you, Sloane Mercer. Not after one taste. I want more. Again. And again. And I know you do too. So take your time. Let it sit with you. Let it drive you a little crazy. I’ll see you after the rehearsal dinner.”
He straightens himself and steps back, finally giving me a second to inhale actual air. Then he reaches down and places a larger box on the table beside my plate.
“I’ll advise you to open this when you’re alone.”
He walks away, strolling back to the couch like he didn’t just seduce me in front of his mother, my best friend, and Jesus himself.
Everyone is staring.
