I laugh. “Modesty. Okay. Tell that to my nipples that may as well not be covered.”
Thanks to the hair powder Becca let me borrow for the honeymoon, my hair is voluminous. I created a smoky eye and added glossy pink lips.Let him think about those being wrapped around his cock.
Excitement ripples over me in waves. I’ve tried not to focus on the root of this production—that I think Foxx will tell me he loves me tonight. Instead, I’ve attempted to play it off like I’m going to make him beg.
And I might.
I open the door to the bathroom. Through the bedroom, I can see him sitting in the living room on the sofa.
“What are you doing?” I ask in my sweetest voice.
“Just figured out who is sending these fucking fox texts.”
“Really?” I walk through the room and come up behind him. “Who is it?”
He doesn’t turn around, just lifts his phone so I can read the screen.
Unknown: Taking a Paige out of the wild elephant handbook, foxes in London are domesticating themselves.
“Do you see it?” he asks.
I point at the misspelled word.Paige.
“It’s your sister?” I ask, laughing.
Foxx chuckles and opens a family chat titled No Girls Allowed. “She’ll live to regret this.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Just watch.”
Foxx: How are you liking the animal texts?
His phone dings in quick succession.
Maddox: HATE THEM.
Banks:
Moss: I’m contemplating getting a new number. They won’t stop.
Jess: Mine have slowed down. I started texting the nastiest shit to them.
Foxx’s fingers fly over the screen.
Foxx: It’s your sister.
He silences his notifications. But he doesn’t put his phone down. Immediately, notifications pop on the screen silently.
Foxx laughs as a new chat is created titled HOLLIS, COME GET YOUR SISTER and he’s added to it.
“Who is Hollis?” I ask, laughing.
“Hollis is Paige’s biological brother. My parents adopted her when she was a baby. Long story short, they found each other in the craziest way.”
“That’s nuts.”
“Hollis is a part of the family. We don’t see him a ton because he lives in Savannah near Paige. But he comes for holiday sometimes, and Maddox and Banks went deep-sea fishing a few months ago, and Hollis joined them.”
