Sunny cupped my nape, leaning his forehead against mine. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t.” I wrapped my arms around his thick shoulders, holding him against me.

“I am and I’m sorry for what I did earlier. I shouldn’t have brought Meadow into this.”

“I don’t think she minded so much.”

He grunted.

I smirked, staring at him. My best friend. My partner…in…everything.

“What?” he whispered.

“I’ll make you want me as much as I want you.” I released him and left the bathroom before he could respond.

“I’ll make you want me as much as I want you.”

Fucking hell.

Scrubbing a hand down my face, I took a breath and followed Shade out of the bathroom. Meadow was sitting on the bed with a phone to her ear. Shade joined her, resting his arm across her lap.

She caught my gaze, giving me a wide smile. She pulled the phone from her ear. “I’m ordering pizza. You good with that?”

My stomach rumbled. I chuckled. “Yup. Definitely good with that.”

Her smile grew. She placed the phone back up to her ear. “Yes, sorry. I’m still here.”

While she placed the order, I sat on the bed and leaned against the headboard.

“Don’t make this weird,” Shade mumbled.

I bit back a sigh. We never used to have issues talking but this, this was different, and it was something on a whole other level that neither of us were used to. I wasn’t even sure if we were ready for it.
