I nod at him, grinning like an idiot. “I think I might have actually pulled it off.”
Marco wraps an arm around me and pulls me flush against his body. “Of course, you did.” He leans down to press a soft kiss to my lips. “I’m so proud of you, love.”
His words send a shiver down my spine, and I’m about to part my lips to give him access to my mouth when Rosa starts making vomiting sounds beside me.
“Seriously? You guys are disgusting.”
Marco glances sidelong at her, completely unimpressed. “Remember I have the power to stop you from going to homecoming.”
Rosa scowls. “You wouldn’t dare.”
I shake my head. “All right, both of you, let’s play nice.”
“I have no intention of being nice,” Marco says under his breath with a wicked glint in his eye.
My cheeks burn, and Marco chuckles, which only adds to the heat coursing through my body.
How is it possible that he can turn me on so much without even touching me?
“So, are you going to come with me?” His voice is low and rough.
I blink. “What?”
“Tonight, we’re celebrating, just the two of us. I booked us the penthouse at the Plaza.”
“Thepenthouse?”
“Only the best for my girl.”
“But, Marco, I don’t have anything packed…”
His eyes darken, his smirk turning into something wicked. “You won’t need anything.”
Rosa groans. “Okay, I’m actually going to throw up.”
Marco shrugs. “Fine, but don’t do it all over the inside of Jax’s car, he’ll be pissed.”
She grins. “Jax is coming to get me?”
Marco runs a hand over his face. “I swear you are going to be the death of me, little sister.”
“I know.” She flicks her hair over her shoulder.
Thankfully, Jax pulls up after a few more minutes to take Rosa back to Westchester.
I hand Rosa the garment bag with my other dress in and thank her once again for helping me.
Without her and Lila’s help last night, I’m not sure I would have been able to pull it off.
Marco steps up the driver's side window and to Jax’s horror, starts giving him a firm talking to regarding his baby sister and boundaries.
Rosa is in the back of the car swearing she will do much more than just kill Marco in his sleep.
I chuckle as the car disappears from sight. “I swear there’s never a dull moment with your family.”
“So.” Marco turns his attention back to me. “Are you coming with me willingly, or do I have to force you?”
My entire body flushes at his words.
