Rory got to her feet, scrubbing her hands over her tears.“You here because of Casey?”
“Well, first, I wanted to make sure the boy was alive, Rory.I’m not a complete monster.”Raven tapped Chance on the foot.“I’m glad you’re doing okay.They’re getting you a room upstairs right now.”
“Ah, come on.That’s bullshit.I don’t need to stay here.”
“Overnight only,” she assured him quickly.“Once they’re sure all the opioids are flushed out of your system, you can be discharged.”
“Can I stay with him?”I asked, worried someone would make me leave.
He tightened his arm around me.“Fuck yeah, you’re staying.I’m not if you’re not.”
Raven snorted as if she’d expected him to be like that.“It’s already been taken care of.You’ll be in a private room, so there won’t be any issues.”
A look passed between her and Rory.With a nod, Rory bent and kissed her son’s brow.“I’m going to go.Evie will take good care of you.I’ll see you tomorrow, though… P-please?”
“Sure, Ma.You do what you gotta do.I got everything I need right here.”He caught her hand as she turned away.“Be careful.”
Smile wobbly, she nodded, mouthed “thank you” to me one more time, and followed Raven out of the room.I had no idea what was going on with her, but she didn’t matter.We weren’t going to be best friends just because of this moment.I was still going to hold my grudge.That didn’t mean I hated her.Loving Chance didn’t mean I had to love his mom.He was the one I cared about.
Chance was all I wanted.
Chance
There wasnothing better than a hot shower after nearly dying.Groaning, I stood under the powerful spray, letting it wash away the sweat and stink of the hospital.As soon as the doctor had given me the green light, I was out of bed, telling the nurses to email me the paperwork.
Evie met me at the door, though, and made me stay until the nurses brought my discharge papers.She listened intently to all the aftercare instructions, afraid to miss the smallest detail.Everly and Reid were waiting for us when I was wheeled out—fucking wheeled out—by the nurse’s aide.
But I kept my mouth shut, didn’t bitch once, because I knew Evie was worried.
And she was letting me close, so I wasn’t going to give her a reason to send me back into the hell of being without her.
“Chance?”Evie called, opening my bathroom door.“Are you okay?”
My cock stood straight up at the sound of her voice, ripping another groan from my throat.“Yeah, baby.I’m good.Just enjoying the shower.”
“Oh, okay.”I heard the door shut, and I ducked my head back under the water, wrapping my hand around my aching cock.Closing my eyes, I pictured Evie spread out for me, letting me lick her pretty little pussy.Imagining that tight snatch sucking my cock deep into her body.
A rush of cool air hit my back, and I snapped my eyes open to find Evie stepping into the shower with me.A spurt of come leaked from my tip at the sight of her completely bare, standing right in front of me like a goddamn angel.
“Peaches,” I rasped.Maybe I was dreaming.
She nibbled on her bottom lip, studiously keeping her eyes locked on mine as she shyly stepped forward.“I was scared you might need something but wouldn’t admit it.”
“I do need, Evie.God, I need so fucking bad.”I stroked my hand along my length, squeezing hard.
Licking her lips, she dropped her gaze, trailing it over my chest, down my abs, then stopping on where my hand was choking my dick.“That’s…that’s not real.”
Laughing, I pumped my hand up and down.“But it is, baby.”
“No, that’s not… They aren’t supposed to be that big!”she whisper-yelled.“You’re photoshopped.I mean, those abs are already perfect.It’s not fair that you’re…that.”
“God made me extra special, just for you, peaches.”Still stroking myself, I held out my free hand to her.Without hesitation, she took it.Goddamn it.It was a small action, but one that shifted my whole world.Heart in my throat, I pulled her in close, guiding her soft fingers down to wrap around my base.“Feel what you do to me, Evie.I’ve never been this hard in my life.It’s for you, baby.Only you, now and forever.”
“I didn’t know,” she breathed, entranced as she let me teach her how to touch me.
A growl escaped me.“You’re only ever going to know this cock, Evie.”
Her hand squeezed tighter, making me blind for a second.“Are you mine now, Chance?”she asked, those amazing eyes shining up at me.
