“When this is over, I would like to go away.” She breathed. “On a long vacation, around the world, doing nothing but relaxing and seeing things you have never seen before. And I know that won’t make up for the bad things or what we lost. But I figured it was a good way to start with our new life. That’s a bit… bit different.”
I was more than eager to run away from my problems, but when I added in her, Price, the rest of the guys, and a worldwide trip? Then hell yeah I was in. I couldn’t think of a better way to pretend that everything in my life was fine, or for us to celebrate catching the last piece of Sapphire’s nemesis puzzle.
“I think it’s a good idea, but only if you make me a promise.” Some more of my sadness chipped away as I teased her.
“Anything.”She promised.
“You can’t drown Linc in the ocean, or push him off a mountain.” I offered her my pinky finger with a deadly serious expression. “You also can’t feed him to a shark or leave him in the middle of the wilderness.”
“What about if I-”
I snorted.“No.”
“But I could-”
I grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer.“Sapphire.”
“Fine.” Her eyes rolled as she giggled. “I promise not to do anything wicked to him that he does not consent to happily. Is that good enough for you, Misha?”
I kissed her hard and fast, savoring the taste of her sweetness on my tongue, and the lightness she always made me feel. “That’s perfect. Now go be a good girl and make us some food – I need to let it settle before we play dares and I make you fuck me in front of everyone.”
“Is that your first dare? Because I am happy to do it. Though I would think the game would be over super fast on account of all the testosterone in the room that would want to prove itself.” She wiggled her brows.
“Good point. We can do that last.”
“We should do you last. After everyone else.” She kissed me again, her tongue tangling with mine between each word. “I think that could be fun, seeing as you mentioned it before.”
Her hand reached down, cupping parts of me that were more than eager for her ideas, before she pulled back with a wicked grin and my cheeks turned red.
“Have a nice shower,papi. I hope it’s not too hard.” With an evil snicker she walked away, heading into the kitchen to help Kody – or to stand there looking pretty whilst he did everything and refused help – and left me with an issue I needed solving.
Luckily, I had a way to do that even without my girl present.
“Shower’s nice and hot,” Price called to me through the bathroom door. “Grab me a towel before you come in here, please; I don’t need to make the others cry when they see my pretty cock looking all glorious and squeaky clean.”
Yeah. I didn’t need Sapphire at the moment. I could wait till later.
After a long,hardshower… with Price.
Chapter Twenty
Everything in my head hurt. My brain. My thoughts. My feelings. All of it was a jumble of bullshit and noise that I couldn’t work out how to shut up. Turn off. Whatever it was that I needed to do, just for some peace and quiet and to stop the worst of all the thoughts echoing in my brain.
I was a shitty boyfriend. A shitty, shitty boyfriend.
I was hiding a secret from my girlfriend that would hurt her.
She was going to kill me.
It wasn’t like I’d done anything wrong. I just hadn’t told her something she needed to know. But in my defence, it wasn’t easy. It had taken me a solid twelve hours before I even believed it myself.
Before I believed John O’Malley’s dying words, when he told me how fucking stupid we all were.
By the time I believed him, I’d been trying to find evidence. Every little detail designed to back up his claims, so I didn’tobsess and freak out over nothing. And as the hours passed and more and more things pointed to him being right, I had no time to talk to Sapphire. First, we’d all been asleep. Then we’d been on the plane and coming home, where she’d spent most of the flight napping away her hangover, or eating tiny sandwiches and declaring them the best.
Now she was preoccupied with doing the dare Price had asked for, whilst Misha and Logan napped away on the beds.
I came back from the kitchen, a fresh glass of whiskey in my hand. My girl was on the ground in front of the couch, and though I couldn’t see anything but Kody and Price’s smirking faces, I was not missing out on the moans they made or the wet noises coming from Sapphire.
