“Yeah, gorgeous, how about we shower together?” I offer.

“Wouldn’t that lead to other things?” Her voice hinted at humor alongside the lust we’d both been feeling just now.

“It could.” There’s no doubt about it. “But I know how to restrain myself.” The next time I get inside her, I’m taking my time. That doesn’t mean I can’t use my hands on her. Listen to her sweet moans. It’s got to be one of my favorite sounds.

“Okay, then shower with me. Hopefully, Nevaeh or Peyton have some clothes I can borrow here.”

“I’ll text Maverick and see if Vaeh has something,” I murmur. “You start the shower, I’ll send the text, then join you right after.”

CHAPTER SIX

RYANN

“Damnit, Vaeh, that cat is a demon-possessed,” Mayhem shouts, jumping around and wiggling a leg like he’s got something in his pants leg.

I glance down to see a pretty orange kitten latched on his jeans.

“Oh my god, who’s kitten?” I ask, wishing I could find one just like it.

“It’s Nevaeh’s kitten,” Sabotage answers, tucking me closer to his side. “Some guys named Milo and Jasper gave it to her for her birthday.”

Instantly, I find it hard to breathe, knowing I’d completely forgotten Nevaeh’s birthday. She might not remember telling me, but she’d told me her birthday and that she couldn’t stand her birthday because of what happened.

I get it. I totally get it, and it sucks.

“Mayhem, stop before you hurt Gizmo,” Nevaeh snaps, glaring and stomping toward Mayhem, Maverick right on her heels. “If you hurt my cat, I’m going to hurt you.”

“The cat’s a damn menace,” Mayhem grumbles. “I was minding my own fuckin’ business, and the damn thing attacked me.”

“Maybe you should bribe him,” Pirate suggests, getting to Mayhem before Nevaeh. “Come on, little man,” he coos. Actually, he uses a baby talk voice with the kitten, which seems to work ‘cause in the next second, Gizmo lets go, jumps to the floor, and moves to Pirate.

“Unbelievable,” Nevaeh yells, throws her arms in the air, and pivots to face Maverick, who’s giving her a shit-eating grin. “Pirate is stealing my cat from me.”

“Vaeh, baby,” he starts, but she whips back around, stomps to Pirate, and yanks her cat away from him. “Stop stealing Gizmo.”

“Babe, I’ll file for joint custody of him,” Pirate states, planting his hands on his hips.

“Whatever,” Nevaeh snaps and twists once again, but this time, she stops when she sees me. “Ryann,” she gasps, gives Gizmo to Maverick, and rushes across the room.Sabotage barely lets me go before she’s got her arms around me. “I’m so glad you’re okay.” Her words are no more than a breath in my ear.

“Me too,” I whispered right back.

Nevaeh pulls back, and Sabotage secures me back in his arms while I look at the cat. “Gizmo is cute.”

“Thanks.” She smiles.

“Gorgeous,” Sabotage calls, giving me a squeeze.

I glance up, and he jerks his chin in a direction. I slowly look that way to see my mom and brother standing there. Tears in my mom’s eyes, and a strange look in Ryland’s.

“Come on,” Sabotage urges, taking us a step forward.

My brother keeps an arm around my mom, and I see she wants to rush forward. I’m glad he does this because right now, I’m freaking out.

Mom’s gaze goes between Sabotage and me, something unreadable.

A part of me wants to run. Go back upstairs to Sabotage’s room. Back to what we were doing in his bed. Or better in the shower. That was fun. He hadn’t restrained himself, well, not entirely. I’d gotten to feel his hands on me, and it had been heaven.

After our shower, we stepped out to find a bag with my clothes in it on the bed. Someone had gone to the house and packed me a bag, which was nice of them. I didn’t want to have to borrow clothes.
