“Hey, my man goes a hell of a lot longer than five minutes,” Gillian interrupts, laughing.
“Oh, we are all aware of your sex life, Gillian,” Ivy says, rolling her eyes.
Gillian smiles, looking around. “I want a girl. Riley will lose his shit,” she says.
They all erupt into laughter, and for the first time ever in my life, I wonder what it would be like to have a baby. I always knew I’d have one someday, but I imagine Finn as a father, and it makes my body warm. He’d be amazing. Especially after the awful childhood, he endured. He has so much love to give. He just doesn’t realize it.
“Mia?” Gillian asks.
“What?” I ask, looking around.
They laugh, and I shrug.
“Do you want kids one day?” Ivy asks.
I look around at their judging eyes and wonder what answer they are looking for. But I decide to just be honest, and I nod. “One day, yeah, I definitely want a baby.”
“No time soon,” I hear whispered in my ear.
Finn kisses beneath my ear, and I turn, smiling toward him. I can feel myself blushing being caught talking about kids.
“Hey,” I whisper.
All the guys are talking loudly while the girls are laughing, but my focus is on Finn. He’s staring at me, searching my face. It’s making my pussy wet, and I cross my legs to try to get a bit of relief.
“You having fun?” he asks.
“Yeah,” I reply, biting my lip.
He breaks his stare from me and looks around the table. “We’re gonna get out of here,” he says, grabbing my hand.
“Oh, come on, stay,” Gillian pleads, jutting out her lower lip.
I giggle, feeling the effect of the alcohol we’ve had. I glance up at Finn, but his focus is on Porter, and I suddenly feel extremely uncomfortable. I didn’t notice him walk over. It’s the first time since he yelled that I was his daughter that I’ve been this close to him. It’s too close.
I move closer to Finn and look up at him. “I’d like to go.”
He nods, and without another word, we walk out of Souls. The laughter and joking follow us outside, but once the door closes, it’s dead quiet.
Finn doesn’t say a word as he climbs on his bike. He hands me a helmet, and I slip it on. Usually, climbing on this bike excites me, but something is wrong. I can feel it.
The drive to his house is quick, and as I climb off the bike, he grabs my hand, leading me inside. Once the door is closed, he pushes me against it and slams his lips to mine.
I moan, holding tightly around his neck. This kiss is hard and rough. Controlling.
He breaks the kiss and rests his forehead on mine. The heat in his eyes is intense, but there’s something else. Something darker.
“I don’t want to lose you, Mia,” he whispers.
My brows dip as my hold around his neck tightens. “You aren’t losing me, Finn. I’m right here,” I say, searching his eyes. Immediately, I think the comment about kids has thrown him off. Scared him, maybe. So, I rush to add, “I’m sorry the guys overheard my comment about kids. I didn’t realize you guys were back. Everyone was giving their thoughts on kids.”
He closes his eyes and digs his fingers into my sides. “Kids don’t worry me, baby.”
I move my hands to grip his hair, and he opens his eyes. The pain I see in them scares me. “Finn, what the hell is going on? You’re scaring me,” I whisper.
He backs up and pulls his shirt off, dropping it on the floor. “Strip, Mia.” I begin to unbutton my jeans, and his eyes darken. “You better not be wearing panties,” he growls.
My hands shake as I push my jeans to the floor and expose my uncovered pussy.
