He breathed the words against my mouth.
"Love you, love you, love you."
And I believed it.
"Can I use that in one of my books?" I murmured.
Hands on my waist, he pulled me closer and spoke softly.
"You can write me into all of your books," he said."Just so long as we end up together in the end."
"Always," I said.
And as he kissed me breathless, I knew it was true.Finn O'Brien was my best friend, my soulmate, my living, breathing happy ending.And loving him really was the nicest thing.
CHAPTER 22: Finn
One Month Later
"Tell me again why we're doing this," Dex said.
"Because we love our baby brother," Archer grumbled."Even if he asks for big favors."
Baylor released a happy sigh."I don't know why you're all complaining.I love this."
"You would," Chase said.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Just that you love attention and showing off."
"True."
"Still think it's BS that you got the baseball book," Dex muttered.
"Life's not fair, brother." Baylor shrugged a shoulder, not ashamed in the slightest, holding a wooden bat across his shoulders.Rose's latest series was a baseball romance, and Bay just happened to be the lucky one who got to don a uniform he was comfortable in, playing a role he'd been born for.When they found out, my other brothers hadn't been amused."And Chase, if I wanted to show off, I could do that anywhere, any day of the week. I'm doing this for June."
Chase sighed then gave a nod."Just like I'm here for Charlie—not that she gave me a choice."
"Your girl's a ballbuster," Archer said.
"Yeah.God, I love that woman."
"Enough to wear a Stetson, boots, and very tight jeans apparently," Dex said.
Chase frowned, mumbling something that sounded like "shut the hell up" and tried to kick him with one of his boots, but Dex dodged the hit with ease.
"Missed."
"Meant to."
"Keep telling yourself that."
"Maisie would kill me if I hurt a hair on your head."
"Hmm.Gotta keep the girls happy," Dex said then frowned as he looked down at himself.There wasn't much to see besides a whole lot of skin and tattoos.His silky black shorts left little to the imagination."Even if that means public humiliation."
Archer grunted."At least you got the MMA fighter.I look like a complete ass."
