Page 55 of Surrender

She looked over her shoulder at me. “Hush.”

“What! You asked my opinion.”

I stood and walked over to her. She had on a long-sleeved white shirt that she tucked into a pair of fitted high-waisted jeans, with a brown belt, and a pair of brown boots. Her curls hung freely, just the way I liked it.

“You look beautiful as usual,” I said, wrapping my arms around her waist.

She blushed as I kissed her temple. “You’re my husband. You have to say that.”

“Nah, I love you enough to tell you if you look a mess. I can’t let you go out like that.”

She rolled her eyes. “Are you sure my pants aren’t too tight?”

“Have you seen this ass you carry around?”

She playfully slapped my chest. “Stop!”

“Seriously, baby. You’re fretting for nothing. Nobody is gonna think twice about what you’re wearing.”

She sighed. “Okay, okay. Let’s go.”

She grabbed her purse, and we left her apartment. The drive to my parent’s house took less than fifteen minutes. When we pulled up, she released a nervous sigh.

“Here goes nothing.”

“Think positive.”

“I’m trying.”

I climbed out of my truck and rounded the passenger side to let her out. Hand in hand, we walked up the driveway and up the front steps. Before I could open the front door, it flew open, and Jessa stood there with a smile.

“Hey, big head,” she said, hugging me.

“Hey, punk.”

She quickly pushed me out of the way and went to Kachelle. I shook my head as I closed the door.

“Hey, sis!”

“Hey, boo.”

They shared an embrace and exchanged air kisses. I rolled my eyes. I would never get over just how quickly my sister had taken to her.

“You look cute,” she said, spinning her around.

“Ask her how many times she changed clothes,” I said with a chuckle.

Kay elbowed me.

“Don’t come for my girl, Jake,” Jessa defended, punching my arm.

“You know something, Jess. I get the feeling you like my wife a little more than you like me these days.”

She giggled. “Just a little. I love you, but I’ve always wanted a big sister. Now we can gang up on you together.”

“That’s what you think. I got that act right to get her together.”

I slapped Kay’s ass, causing her to yelp.
