Chapter Sixteen

Ryan

I’m pretty sure the little extra sway in her hips is for my benefit. My eyes are riveted to her ass as she sets each drink down on the table. When Jaime deposits the last one, she glances over her shoulder and gives me a little wink. My cock is so damn hard that I could use it as one of my tools on the job site.

“Have you told her yet?” Josh asks before taking another swig of his beer.

“Told her what?”

“That you love her.”

I meet his pointed look head on. There’s no denying it so I won’t even try. “Not yet.” I take a deep pull of my beer, trying to quash the tension that’s suddenly coursing through my body.

“Why not?” he asks while turning to face me.

“It’s kinda complicated. She’s still freaked out from the douche who left her right before the wedding.”

“Asshole. I never liked him. I met him a few times, and each time he just gave the same cocky asshole vibe.”

“Yeah, well, he sure did a number on her.”

Josh drops his head. “I know. I was there when it happened. We had all just arrived in Cleveland for the wedding. It was the weekend before and the girls were all going to do a bachelorette party. I was invited to go to the bachelor party, but I made some excuse about not feeling well. Truth is I didn’t want to spend the evening with him and his friends. Chris had some meetings he couldn’t get out of so he was coming in on the Friday before. It was just me, Brian, and Grandpa Orval. Sad that I was happier staying with them back at the hotel, isn’t it?” Josh shakes his head before continuing.

“Anyway, middle of the week, things just changed. I could tell something was wrong. Meg got a call from Payton and she was hysterical. I drove them over to the house Gavin and Jaime shared. I’ll never get over seeing her crumpled on the floor crying her eyes out. Fucking gutted me, you know?”

Yeah. I know.

“She’s like my sister. Shit, all of them are. Anything happens to any of them and I’d be the same way. Took everything I had not to track down that son of a bitch and knock his teeth out. I wanted to, but Meg wouldn’t let me.”

I snort and think of how much satisfaction I’d have at seeing Josh deck Jaime’s ex. Well, behind me, of course.

“She was a mess for a while after that,” Josh confirms what I already know.

“She told me.”

“You in it for the long haul?” he asks.

The seriousness of the moment causes my heart to race. Yet it’s significantly important when realization sets in that there’s only one answer to his question.

“Absolutely.”

“Then don’t be afraid to tell her. She might be a timid cat right now, but I know what she ultimately wants in life. Husband. Kids. House. Deep down she still wants all of those things that douche promised to give her and didn’t.
