Everyonebursts into laughter and Jeremy claps him on the back. “Only took you sixmonths to wear her down.”
Ethanenters the room with his boyfriend in tow, drawing attention away from usbefore I can kill Justus. Everyone congratulates him and wishes him a happybirthday. After presents are exchanged and the cake is cut, Ethan and hisboyfriend head up to his room, leaving the rest of us to sit around and talk.
I’dbecome a part of their little group because of Ayda, but it feels differentbeing here with Justus. I’m in the wife and girlfriend club now. It’s one thingI’ve noticed about these guys, if you’re important to one of them, you’reimportant to all of them. They are such a tight knit group, and I’m happy to bea part of it.
“So,what are you doing this weekend?” Landon asks Justus. “Just stripping andwatching Antiques Roadshow?”
Mymouth forms an O and I turn to look at him. “You said you didn’t watch that!”
“Idon’t!”
Darecracks up. “I’ll bet he tried to change the channel when you walked in, didn’the? We’ve all caught him.”
“Yes!It was on in the hotel room.”
Jeremylaughs. “Dude, you like to watch a show meant for senior citizens, it’s cool.You can admit it.”
Aydagrins and rolls her eyes at me as the guys go back and forth, Justus vehementlydenying he watches Antiques Roadshow. I shake my head, smiling back at her.Yeah, I feel like I belong here, with these people. With Justus.

Lifehas pretty much returned to normal, except I spend a lot of my nights withJustus. When he isn’t working, we trade off between staying at his house andmine. It’s been almost three weeks since we returned from my mom’s and sheseems to be doing fine. Our friends have given us endless shit about Justusfinally wearing me down, but it’s all in good fun, and they’re happy for us.Ayda especially, since it means we can drag the guys out to double date withus.
We’relounging in my bed when Justus runs his hand through my hair, then cups mycheek, turning my head so I’m staring into those devastating green eyes, “I’mfalling in love with you,” he murmurs, shocking the shit out of me.
Warmthfills my chest. “That’s good, because I’m already in love with you. About timeyou caught up.”
Hislips stretch into a smile. “You love me?”
“Ilove you.”
Hisarms wrap around me, squeezing me tight. “So, you’ll come see my show?”
Smilingup at the madman above me, I remind him. “I’ve seen your show before,remember?”
“Ohno, Sweets. That was just a sixty second dance with the other guys, who can’tcompete with me. I headline tonight.”
I’mnot sure how I’ll feel watching other women drool over him or touch him, butthis is part of who he is so I’d better get used to it.
“Tellme it’s not the unicorn act.”
Rollingover on top of me, he links his hands with mine, pinning them to the bed whilehis lips explore my neck. “You love the sparkly unicorn. My big horn totallygets you wet.”
“Youwear rainbow suspenders and fuzzy lavender wristbands. Nothing about that issexy.”
Slidingdown my body until his face is between my legs he replies, “I see. You need areminder that I’m the sexiest man alive and the best lover you’ve ever had orwill have.”
Damnegotistical maniac. Doesn’t help that he’s right. “Best ever…I don’t know,” Itease, wiggling my hips.
“Iam the pussy eating extraordinaire, tamer of the twat, victor of the vagina—
“Justlick me, for fuck’s sake,” I laugh.
“Sayyou’ll be at my show tonight.”
“Iwill.” My last word gets stretched into nonsense as he proves himself therightful king of cunnilingus.
