“Of?”

“Of how you got into ass-pla–”

“Okay, okay, okay,” I chant with a chuckle. “I get it.”

Kayden’s hand moves to the small of my back, and we both fall down onto the bed, facing each other. “I’ll tell you, but I don’t want you to judge me.”

He frowns heavily and tugs me closer. “I’d never judge you.”

“Well, when I was trying to get over Josh, I suppose I went through this phase of needing attention. It wasn’t healthy, and I’m not proud of it. But one night, I got quite drunk and ended up having a threesome…with two guys.”

Kayden’s eyes continue to widen, and he doesn’t even blink. “Damn.”

“See, you’re totally judging me right now.” I roll onto my back with a groan.

“I’m not judging you, I’m just—” Kayden pauses.

My brows raise. “What?”

“Jealous.”

I stare back at him, dumbfounded. “Jealous?”

“The thought of you being with anyone before me makes me jealous,” he replies calmly. “It sounds stupid, but two guys being with you at once makes me unbelievably bitter.”

I smack my thigh. “Well, damn, there goes my idea of inviting someone in for a threesome,” I tease.

Kayden tilts his head and pins me with a hard stare. “I swear, you better be fucking joking.”

“You can just buy me a dildo.” I grin.

“Are you sure you haven’t already got one with your collection of vibrators?” he challenges me.

“Okay, sassy pants. I’m proud of my sex toy collection.”

Kayden beams back at me with a lazy smirk. “Trust me, I am, too.”

KAYLEIGH

“Is this dress maybe a little too much for the ceremony?” I ask, walking into Kayden’s room as I smooth down the navy floral lace over my stomach.

Kayden glances over his shoulder at me with wide eyes that almost melt down his face. “Fucking hell,” he groans. “No. You look incredible. Ugh.”

I suck in a breath and nod. “Okay. Good.”

My hands move to my hair as I gently twist out the curly ends and adjust the black bow in the back. I follow Kayden’s body with my eyes as I study him in his white shirt and navy pants.

I walk directly towards him, black heels clicking against the floor. “And you are looking far too delicious for your own good.”

“Delicious, huh?” He smirks.

My arms wrap around his neck as I tug him towards me, and his hands press to the curves of my hips. I nod and bite down on my bottom lip. “Yeah,” I whisper. “Not sure how I’m going to keep my hands off you.”

He chuckles, and his dimples are on full display. “Trust me, I feel the same.”

One step backwards, and my spine is firmly against the wall next to his bed. I tilt my head to meet his eyes and the fire that burns there. “It’s a special day for us. It’s not every day you get asked to be official Goddessparents. As weird as that is to say,” I whisper against his lips. “I guess we’ll have to celebrate after.”
