“You wish,” Xavier retorts.

“Then don’t butt in on conversations that have nothing to do with you,” Grey says.

“I can’t help that I’m nosy.”

“Too nosy for your own good,” Aspen says, shoving him away. “Go watch the fireworks.”

“It’s boring when you have no one to hold hands with.”

Apollo wraps his arm around Aspen and presses a kiss to her cheeks. “You’re just jealous.”

“He is, but the only reason is because he’s a pussy who can’t ask my sister out on a date,” I say without even granting him one glance.

“Oh my God …” Aspen snorts and hides her laughter behind her hand.

“Wow, just wow,” Xavier says as he gets up. “For your information, I have never even shown interest in your sister, so I don’t know how you got the idea—”

“You think I live under a rock?” I interrupt. “I’m dating your sister. She talks.”

Xavier just stares at me, then Aspen, narrowing his eyes.

“Whatever. Continue fantasizing, I’m gonna grab some more food.” He walks off, leaving the group.

“Don’t be so hard on him,” Aspen says, smiling at me.

“How else is he gonna grow some balls?” I grin back.

She pokes me, but I grab her hand and pin her down onto the grass. “Don’t poke the beast unless you’re willing to get eaten alive.”

“Ooooh, I’m so scared,” she says, chuckling.

“You should be,” Apollo says. “If you knew what he had planned tonight.”

A devious grin spreads on her cheeks. “Now I’m curious.”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

I kiss her hard and fast, not giving a shit who sees. Cecelia and Melody makewhoo whoosounds together like they’re cheering us on, and fuck it, it only makes me kiss her harder, driving my tongue inside for good measure just to prove to the world that she is mine. And there ain’t nothing any of those fuckers can do about it.

“I have a couple of new toys I wanna try out,” Apollo says, winking. “They’re in the car.”

“Now I’m the one who’s curious,” Grey says, biting his lip.

“Soon, my little twink,” Apollo says, placing his hand on Aspen’s belly as he leans in to kiss her too. “Soon.”

Grey rolls over too and kisses her from the other side, their hands touching on her belly as we all make out with her.

“Wait, wait, wait,” Aspen mutters. “I still have a question.”

“What’s more important than kisses?” I ask, still pecking her.

“It’s not, but I just wanna know … since you’re my ghost, did you kill that guy in the girl’s bathroom at Spine Ridge?”

I frown while staring at her. “No?”

“Really? He was all tied up.”

“Why would I? I didn’t know the guy.”
