Page 90 of Mr. Broody

When I woke up this morning, all I wanted to do was roll over and find her next to me. To climb on top of her and use my thighs to spread her legs open, making room for my hips to fall between them. Then kiss her and slowly peel her clothes away. Suck on her perfect tits, feel her hand on my dick. Shit, this morning was a rough one.

“Hi,” I say.

“Hi, Henry!” Eloise leans her head between us.

“Eloise.” I nod, but keep my gaze set on Jade.

“I don’t think we’ve met,” Eloise says to someone, stepping away and leaving us alone.

“Hey,” Jade says.

“Daddy!” Bodhi tugs on my arm. “Can we go on the Ferris wheel?”

Jade looks down at Bodhi. He’s the only one I’m okay with stealing her attention away.

“Sure.”

“Come on, Bodhi,” Kyleigh says from somewhere behind me.

We all walk back down the pier, and I purposely allow everyone else to go in front us.

I place my hand on the small of Jade’s back and lean in close. “You look beautiful.”

A blush paints her cheeks, and I don’t think it’s my imagination that she inches a little closer to me. Our decision to keep us a secret really sucks ass right now.

We head to the Ferris wheel, and Rowan and I offer to go buy everyone’s tickets.

“Your ability to play it cool sucks,” Rowan says.

I scowl at him. “What are you talking about?”

“You were practically drooling when you saw her.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” I ask, pulling out my wallet.

“I don’t know. Is it? You tell me.” He leans his arm on the counter of the stand and waits for me to answer.

I glance at the group. Eloise and Kyleigh are talking with Tweetie while Jade is sitting behind them on the brick wall, staring up at the Ferris wheel with Bodhi doing the same. She’s pointing at it and telling him something.

“Why aren’t you taking your own advice?” Rowan asks.

Last year when Rowan had his head up his ass about Kyleigh, I talked him into taking a chance on love. He doesn’t know I’ve already taken my own advice. I could tell Rowan. He’d keep his mouth shut. But for some reason, I feel as if Bodhi should be the first to know. Although I know he’ll be more than happy, I guess I’m still guarded about involving him.

“My situation is different.” I swipe the tickets off the counter, thank the cashier, and walk back to the group.

“Can’t ignore it forever,” Rowan says.

“I’m not ignoring it,” I mumble. We reach the group, and I hold up the tickets. “Let’s go.”

Bodhi jumps off the small brick wall, and I hold out my hand, but he turns back around and holds his hand out to Jade.

“Even your kid knows what you should do,” Rowan murmurs and walks over to Kyleigh.

I give everyone their tickets. Bodhi is at the front of the line, and as we inch closer to the ride, I’m trying to figure out how to work it so I go on with Jade.

As everyone hands in their tickets, I tug Jade by the back of her jacket. “Ky, you got Bodhi?”

She turns around right before she steps inside the gondola. Her smile confirms she’d do about anything to make sure I get some alone time with Jade. “Of course.”
