“That’s unnecessary,” Ethan argues. His jaw clenches as his frustration grows, and he tries to think of another reason he should be the one to drive her. “I’m perfectly capable of driving her.”

“So is the man in charge of her safety,” I snap back, leaving no room for argument.

Ainsley stands from her seat at the table, stepping between us to end the argument. “I forgot to tell you, Ethan, but I’m driving with Jonah. There’s just a lot going on and it would make Cain more comfortable, as well as make me feel safer.”

Ethan clenches his jaw again, and I watch in satisfaction as his muscles bulge out of the side of his face. Realizing he won’t win this battle, he curses under his breath and turns to leave.

“Let me walk out with you,” I announce before he can take a step. “I’d like to have a word with you.”

I stand from my seat, but stop before I pass Ainsley.

“You have a little something…” I trail off instead of finishing my sentence. Leaning in, I lick the dot of ketchup on the side of her mouth. She shudders under my touch, making me smirk. Once her mouth is cleaned, I move over an inch and crash my lips against hers. She practically melts against me as she moans in my mouth. Ethan may have tried to stake a claim when he walked in, but it’s clear who Ainsley wants.

When I pull away from her, her cheeks are flushed and she looks a little unsteady on her feet. “You’re not to leave Jonah’s sight,” I remind her.

With my father still on the loose, there’s a target on her back. Jonah being with her is the only reason I’m comfortable with her going back to classes. She nods her head in agreement, understanding the consequences if something were to happen.

I place another chaste kiss on her lips. “Have a good day, little one. I’ll see you tonight.”

She doesn’t respond as I turn to walk out with Ethan. An evil grin stretches across my face when I turn to find that he watched that entire show, just as I expected him to.

Reluctantly, he walks out the door with me, knowing he lost the battle. If he had a tail, it would be tucked between his legs right now.

As soon as the door to the apartment is closed, Ainsley’s friends cheer her on.

“Where do I get one?” I hear one of the girls ask.

“Cassie!” she chastises her friend, but even I can hear the grin in her voice.

Satisfied that I made a good impression, I turn my attention to Ethan. Now that I’m standing, I tower over him, and he has the sense to look intimidated. Any humor that was on my face inside is gone as I stare at him like I want nothing more than to kill him.

“Make no mistake. Just because you’re my brother does not mean I won’t hesitate to break every single bone in your body. You may be her best friend, but she belongs to me. You’d do well to remember that.”

Chapter 31

Ainsley

“Fuck, I missed you today,” I sigh before a moan falls from my lips. Cain’s hands are gripping my thighs tight enough that there will be bruises in the shape of his fingers tomorrow, but I don’t care. Not right now.

I never thought I’d say this, but the weekend can’t come fast enough. Being away from Cain all day was torture. I went from being able to touch him whenever I wanted to having to go an entire day without even hearing his voice. Jonah was good company, and I enjoyed being able to spend time with him, but he couldn’t make the emptiness in my heart any better as I waited for tonight to come around.

Hearing him call me little bird brought a smile to my face, though.

“My offer still stands for you to live with me full time,” Cain reminds me. His voice is deep and breathy as he looks at me with heated eyes. The thought of having me at his house full time has always gotten him excited, but he knows I can’t do that.

“We only have to make it through the rest of this semester, and then I’m yours all summer,” I remind him.

The thought of having me all to himself for months makes him pound into me even harder. My body pushes against the door, and I’m sure the girls can hear it. It sounds like we’re about to break the door down with our excitement. I barely made it into the room before Cain slammed the door and pushed me against it. He’s never pulled my clothes off so fast, but we were both ready for it.

“Come for me, baby,” Cain commands me as he picks up the pace, setting an impossible rhythm. I can tell he’s close as he clenches his jaw and tries to hold back. The sight of him so lost in me nearly makes me fall over the edge, but I’m not ready yet. “And while you’re at it, agree to marry me.”

“Not yet,” I answer. I don’t know when I’ll finally say yes, but I know it won’t be here, like this. As hot as this is, I want romance.

“Ainsley,” Cain growls at my response. The sound of my name rolling off his tongue makes me explode without warning. My pussy clenches around him, pulling him deeper inside of me.

“Cain,” I cry out as he keeps pounding into me, not slowing even a little as he rides out my orgasm with me. The sound of his name has the same effect on him as he grunts out his release, sending even more shocks through my body.

“Fuck, baby,” he breathes as he stops moving. When he’s done, he carries me to my bed and lays me down before pulling out of me. His eyes stay trained on me as I feel him leaking out of me. “You look so good with my cum falling out of you.”
