“Enjoying the party, Coach?”

“Sì, molto!”

Janelle lifts an eyebrow and I shrug. “Yes, something.”

“It has been a long time since I was this drunk.”

Janelle and I laugh.

We search the whole downstairs for Parker but come up empty-handed. I send Luca and Janelle to the garage, and I head for the steps. Ash stumbles out of the bathroom as I hit the top step.

“Find him?”

“No, geeze you’ve been in there a while.”

“I think I might have passed out for a short period of time.”

I snort and he walks toward me. “You look so beautiful.” Ash wraps his arms around me and smiles.

“You just saw me throw up.”

“It’s not the first time.”

True. I shake my head and wrap my arms around his waist. “I’m in gym shorts and my eyes feel swollen, are they?”

“Yes. You’re still beautiful though.”

He’s so ridiculous. His big hand spans my neck and he drops his lips to mine. I should be weary of people since anyone that comes up the stairs will see us but I need his kiss. I need to know that he is as much mine as I am his.

Ash holds my lips to his with a firm hand while the other kneads at my ass under my shorts. I maul him as much as he will let me, which is a lot because he’s as lost in this as I am. I think I get drunk from the liquor on his tongue, but I suck harder.

“Fuck, baby, it’s been so long since we kissed.”

I smile against his lips. It hasn’t been long, but I love that he feels that way.

He hooks his arm under my ass and lifts me; it’s so hot knowing he can hold me with one arm. I wrap my legs around his midsection. He backs us to a wall, I’m not sure who humped first but it’s paused when someone clears their throat behind him.

I pull off Ash to look but he doesn’t let his mouth leave my body and moves to suck on my neck instead.

I’m so beyond thankful to see it’s Luca and Janelle and not Jethro or Brette. Someone who wouldn’t be smiling like these two at seeing Ash bruise my throat.

“Ash,” I breathe.

He tongues at my throat. “Tell them to go away,” he growls.

“It is you who summoned us,” Luca states.

Ash’s breath is hot as he groans. He kisses my tender neck where I no doubt have a new bruise I’ll need to cover. “I need sleep if I’m going to function at all tomorrow.”

“When did you get so old?” Luca teases.

“I thought I was going to see my niece or nephew be conceived in my hallway,” Janelle says.

I nearly choke to death on nothing but air.

“Not for lack of trying.” Ash winks.

Janelle’s eyes pop open wide. “You’re trying for a baby?” She looks to me for the answer but Ash cuts me off. I attempt to scramble from his arms, but he keeps a tight arm around my waist.
