Page 67 of Everything I Crave

“Fuck, Gunnar,” She’s breathless.

I go faster, until she’s trembling in my arms, and then finish myself when she goes weak against me from the aftermath of her own orgasm.

“It just gets better every time.” I whisper out.

She fixes her clothes, and I fix mine, just as my crew of siblings begin coming around the corner.

“That was close.” She grins at me.

“Seriously, G? On my beach?” Liam scowls at me, the flush of Willow’s cheeks gives us away.

“What? We were just getting some wood.” I shrug.

Wyatt lets out a loud, deep laugh. “You might have been getting wood, but it wasn’t for the fire.” He drops a few logs on the sand next to the full fire pit. The fire pit that was full before we got here.

“You know, if I didn’t like you so damn much I might have to disown you for falling victim to his bullshit,” Emma says to Willow, making her laugh.

Cooper comes around the corner last, carrying five pizzas. “You know, assholes, when I said I was waiting for Roman, I kind of hoped one of you would help.” He stares at them. “I shouldn’t even let you eatmypizza.” He places all the pizzas on a flat rock, opening one of the boxes and grabbing a piece before standing with his arm resting on top of the pizzas.

“Shut up, Coop. You played foreman until Emma got here and made you do actual work.” Wyatt pushes him out of the way and grabs his own slice.

“Can any of you function without me?” Emma asks.

She sits on the log next to Willow. “So um, that video of you two. Hot damn that was amazing. G I had no idea you still played, or that you could sing like that.”

“Yea, apparently the comments are just as hot.” I wink at my brothers.

“Oh, ew. No. Those women are blind,” Emma gags.

“At least they were nice.” Willow reaches out for the piece of pizza I hand her.

“Yea, what was with your ex-manager? I didn’t even know who he was until I looked him up,” Emma asks.

“Legally speaking, he shouldn’t have done that. But he did, so now I’m doing damage control.”Willow shrugs like what she’s going through is no big deal.

“Yea, now we’re going to go live, or whatever, and answer the women’s burning questions aboutWillow's hottie.” I smile wide.

“Please tell me that’s not true? I beg of you, don’t let him go viral. We’ll never hear the end of it.” Emma places her hands together, and kneels on the ground in front of Willow.

She tells Emma the plan to go live on the front porch tomorrow so that we can say we’re traveling and people won’t know where we live. She isn’t ready for the world to know she’s back in Lupine Valley. Plus she says it will give the inn some great exposure since the porch has been repaired and stained. All the rocking chairs got a face lift too.

Emma agrees to help us, and keep my ego under control by monitoring the comments. Emma’s friends always tried to date us. They had no shame. So she’s a little sensitive when it comes to women saying anything about our looks.

Before long, Roman, his sister Evelyn, and a few other people from high school show up. I leave Willow and Emma to talk to Roman and Hunter.

“Hey, G,” Roman greets me. “Who is that smokin’ hot friend of Willow’s?” He asks, biting his lip, and checking out my baby sister’s ass. Talk about gagging.

I swat the back of his head. “That’s fucking Emma, asshole. Stop looking at my sister.”

His eyes bulge open. “What? That’s Emma?”

This time Hunter hits him. “Yea, so stop fucking looking.” We both stare at him, daring him to look one more time at my sister’s ass.

“Sorry guys, I didn’t - I mean- I can’t believe- I’m going to shut up now.” He walks away from us, thankfully not to my sister. I’d have to jump him right here and I really don’t want to do that.

Evelyn bounces over to me and hugs me. “Gunnar!”

“Hey Evey.” I hug her back. When I place her down, Willow is at my elbow. “Evey, this is Willow, my girl.” I grin.
