Chapter Eight

Maxwell

Over the last three days, bliss had been my constant companion. My beloved Elfie spent her days busy with work and errands in the company of my mother as they both prepped for the impending holiday season. Her nights, on the other hand, were spent with me. I wished our life would always look like this. Still, the reality was far from it; every time she left my place, a wave of cold, panicky sweat washed over me. My mind refused to function without her close, a sensation that felt ludicrous yet entirely necessary. I needed every part of her to be mine and space always made me nervous that she would question what we were doing.

A change in this routine emerged when my brothers had decided to get together for a drink, an invitation I would have ordinarily accepted. However, the prospect of spending time with Noelle was much too enticing, causing me to decline their offer. Honestly, I just didn’t want to miss out on any chance I had of her laying naked in my arms. My refusal led to their current invasion of my shop, demanding answers which now had me questioning if my dick was making the decisions lately, or if I was.

“Alright, give it up. Who is she?” Kane’s voice echoed over the radio, startling me. I looked up from the engine I was working on to find him, along with our two other brothers, sprawled across my garage. Shaking my head, I strolled over to the workbench, turning down the music.

“Nice to see you too,” I retorted dryly.

“Yeah, yeah. What’s the deal, man? I haven’t been in town in months, and you couldn’t be bothered to hang out with us last night? Jack even came,” Kane pressed, eyes narrowing.

I raised my eyebrows at Jack. His wife was on the verge of giving birth, and he had still managed to find time to hang out with the guys. His mildly reckless behavior certainly wouldn’t play in my favor.

“Kyra let you leave for the night?”

“She doesn’t control me.”

Each one of us turned in his direction as Kane let out a laugh. Jack had enough decency to look down and mumbled, “I didn’t stay long.”

“Yeah, but he came. More than I can say about you. So who is she?”

“Why does it have to be a girl?” I evaded, trying to change the topic.

“Because we all know you have no life, and we spotted Rocco at Rosie’s,” Nick chimed in, eyes twinkling with mischief.

My gaze shifted to Rocco, my best friend, who was avoiding eye contact while fiddling with a carburetor.

“Did you now?” I asked, irritation simmering under the surface.

“Come on, just give it up. We’re happy for you, really,” Kane elbowed Nick, who nodded in agreement.

My gaze swept over the three men I once aspired to be like. They were successful owners of a lucrative construction company, and all I had was my garage. I was proud of my business, but compared to them, it didn’t seem like much.
