Chapter Thirteen

When she had come out of the bathroom earlier, Bristol had planned to send them on their way. When she was alone, she would’ve shored up her nerves and prepared herself to address the situation with them tomorrow. Or the next day. Within a week, for sure.

She had not intended to blurt out the news she’d been carrying around for the past few days. Ever since she’d broken down and taken a pregnancy test on Tuesday, Bristol had been a mess, but she’d managed to hold it together. Even after she’d made an appointment and the doctor confirmed what the little plastic stick had told her—yes, she was definitely pregnant—she hadn’t cried, hadn’t panicked.

But just one sympathetic look from these two and she was a goner.

However, she hadn’t expected that little revelation to result in Keegan carrying her to her bedroom, Kaden just a few steps behind them.

As much time as she had spent ignoring them, pretending she didn’t want them with a passion that made absolutely no sense, she had expected it would take some time before they could make it back around to even being friends. The idea of being lovers again … that honestly hadn’t crossed her mind.

But here they were, and not being with them wasn’t something she wanted to think about. She needed this connection because she’d missed it, missed them.

When Keegan set her on her feet, she dropped her arms, straightened her shirt. And when Kaden came around to join them, she turned to face him. Looking up, she saw the heat in his blue-gray eyes, the hunger that matched her own. But there was something else, something more.

Would it make a difference if I told you I love you?

She could still hear his words from that night. She’d replayed them over and over in her head for weeks now, always changing the ending. In none of those fictional scenarios had she turned him away the way she had in reality. That had been the final nail in her heart, the one that had splintered her into pieces. However, they were a package deal, and with the way Keegan had treated her, Bristol had known it wouldn’t work. She hadn’t wanted to get her hopes up.

And here they were.

Her second chance.

This was what she wanted, what she’d been thinking and dreaming about since the first and only night they’d been together. Longer. Even before that, Bristol had always known deep down that she would fall for them if she allowed herself to.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, doing her best to keep the tears at bay. “For turning you away.”

“It’s in the past.”

Maybe, but it was still something they would have to move beyond.

In true Kaden fashion, he was gentle when he cupped her face and brushed his thumb over her cheek. His eyes implored hers, the intensity making her feel naked although she was still fully clothed.

“Tell us what you want,” he said softly, cupping both sides of her neck.

“I don’t wanna tell you,” she answered.
