Unclipping her belt, I pull her into my lap and press kisses into her hair. “It’s okay, angel, I’ve got you. I didn’t know your dad, but I do know he would be so proud of the woman you’ve become. You are amazing, baby. And so strong.”

She sniffles into my chest. It does things to me. I never want to see her cry. It breaks something inside of me. “Come on. Let’s get you inside. We can play some poker or go in the hot tub. We can do whatever you want to do.”

She looks up at me with her big, expressive, chocolate eyes. They’re wet, making them sparkle. “The hot tub, then poker?” She looks hopeful for the first time today.

I chuckle under my breath. “Anything you want, baby.”

She fiddles with the buttons on my shirt as she chews her bottom lip. “Can we order donuts and pizza?” Her breath hitches.

I frown but nod. “Of course.”

She lets out a sigh. “It was a thing I used to do with my father most Saturdays after he would take me to dance or art class. We would go to grab pizza and then after, there was this little donut concession stand in the mall where we would get a couple and eat them before we went home.”

Dropping a kiss to her forehead, I say, “Then that is what we’ll do, angel. We will stuff our faces with pizza and donuts, and you can tell me all about your dad.”

She smiles, snuggling into my chest. “Thank you, Asher.”

“You don’t need to thank me, angel. I will always do everything in my power to make you happy,” I tell her honestly.

Opening the door, Remi climbs out first, and I follow. We head inside, and, while Remi is getting changed for the hot tub, I order pizza and then a box of donuts for delivery in a couple of hours so we can relax before we eat.

Smiling, I pop my cell on the counter and make my way through the house and up the stairs. When I reach my bedroom, I come to a stop, my eyes widening, jaw dropping. My angel stands in the middle of the room in the smallest, sexiest bikini I have ever seen. It’s yellow, highlighting all her curves and smooth, tan skin. I bite back a groan as my cock stands to attention. Now is not the time for that. Remi is upset and needs comforting, not me mauling her. But fuck if I don’t want to. She’s the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

As if sensing me, she glances over her shoulder and smiles. “What?” she asks, no doubt at the look on my face.

I stalk towards her, taking her into my arms when I reach her. Burying my face in her neck, I breathe her in. “I don’t want to see this little scrap of material outside of this house,” I whisper in her ear, making her shiver.

She pulls back, grinning. “Do you like it?” Her arms wrap around my neck. She pushes up on her toes, her lips brushing against mine.

Growling, I pull her in close so she can feel every ridge of my hard dick. She gasps, making me smirk. “I thinkthattells you how much I like it.”

She chuckles, releasing me. “Come on, let’s go in the tub. If you’re a good boy, I might even ride you,” she says playfully. That’s my girl, her strength is coming through even though she’s upset. She winks before spinning around and sauntering away. Her heart-shaped ass looks so good in those bottoms, I want to eat it, own it.

I bite my fist.

I am so screwed when it comes to my angel.

Ask me if I care.

I don’t.

Making quick work of stripping out of my clothes and into some swim shorts, I make my way downstairs. Heading to the kitchen first, I open the refrigerator and pull out two bottles of water before moving to where I know my angel will be.

Sliding open the doors, I still. Remi sits in the tub, her head laid back on the side, eyes closed. She looks beautiful.

I am so in love with this girl that what I had with Cali was child’s play in comparison. My angel causes my heart to beat faster and slower at the same time. It doesn’t make sense, but she does. I want everything I never knew I needed or wanted, but only with her. I swallow, overwhelmed by my feelings and the thought of anything happening to her. Or worse, someone taking her from me. I would die before I let that happen, but it doesn’t stop my erratic thoughts or calm my racing heart. I know my angel isn’t Cali, but she’s young, and what if she wakes up one day and decides that she no longer wants me? I can’t risk that. Won’t risk it. I know it’s my insecurities filling my head, but still, I won’t discount how they are making me feel.

Moving towards her, my eyes stay focused on her gorgeous face as my mind chants “mine.” As I’m dropping the waters into the holders, her eyes pop open, finally aware that I’m here. Remi smiles as I step down into the tub.

Getting situated, I pull her onto my lap and bury my nose into her neck. I take a deep breath.

Home.

ChapterTwenty-Six

REMI

Monday morning, I’m sitting in Brody’s class, but I can’t focus on anything but how Asher looked after me yesterday. How he ordered donuts and pizza and had me tell him stories about my father.
