“Yeah?”
I nodded. “Thank you. It’s so beautiful, I’m almost scared to wear it.” I put the lid back on the box.
“There’s more where that came from. Only the best for my girl.”
My girl.I wanted to squeal.
He leaned down and kissed me. His expensive cologne wafted around me. God, I wasn’t sure what cologne he used, but I wanted a bottle to spray my pillow with so I could dream of him.
He pulled back far too soon when his friends starting whistling at us. But Huxley didn’t guide me back over to them. Instead, he put his arm around my shoulders and we stared down at Main Street below.
I was surprised at how different the twins were. Huxley liked to lavish me with gifts. And Ace would rather get his hands dirty, setting up a camera system to make me feel safe. Otto just liked spending time with me one on one. Bennett seemed to like having his hands all over me in front of everyone. And Titan?Gah, Titan.That man just liked hating me.
I looked back up at Huxley. It was strange. I could so easily picture myself with each of them. But I still couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to get all of them. This didn’t feel real. It was like a dream that I’d wake up from any moment.
“What are you thinking?” he asked as his gaze fell back down to me.
“That someone needs to pinch me so I know if I’m dreaming.”
Someone cleared their throat and Huxley and I both turned around.
“Emma’s on the phone for you,” Ace said and handed me my cell phone.
“Did you answer my phone?”
He smiled. “No secrets here, Zoey. Besides, it’s just Emma.”
Just Emma. No secrets.Now my mind was spinning. I knew Bennett’s history with Emma. But I didn’t knowhow far she’d gone with the rest of the guys. I needed to talk to her. I just needed to rip the Band-Aid off and find out. I put my phone to my ear.
And I immediately yelped when Huxley pinched my ass through my dress.
“Are you okay?” Emma asked.
“Fine.” I laughed and swatted Huxley’s hand away.
“You’re not dreaming,” he whispered. “Or if you are…I am too.”
God.I couldn’t stop smiling.
“What’s going on?” Emma asked.
“Sorry. Nothing. What’s up?” I tucked the box of lingerie under my arm. I couldn’t wait to try it on for Huxley.
“Callum doesn’t have the coin, but I do have some information. Are you home? I was just about to head over.”
I almost forgot the purpose of tonight. Getting intel for the bank job I was about to pull. I’d been too distracted by Bennett thrusting his cock into my mouth. “I’m out, but I’ll be back in just a few minutes.”
“Great, see you then.” She hung up.
“Thanks for this,” I said to Huxley. I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek. Then I turned to Ace. “And you. You’re the only one that hasn’t kissed me tonight.”
“I can fix that,” Ace said and closed the distance between us.
God, the man could kiss. But I wasn’t getting distracted this time. I gently slipped my free hand into his left pocket. This morning he’d pulled a key off his keychain to give to me. A keychain full of other keys. Akeychain that I was 99 percent sure would have a key to the bank on it.
Emma hadn’t found the coin. Which meant it was time for my plan. But my plan would be dead unless I knew how to get into the bank in the first place. My fingers brushed against Ace’s keychain.Yes.
I slowly lifted the keychain out of his pocket and tucked it beneath the box under my arm. I gave him one last peck before stepping back.Mission complete.
