AVA

Dropping the hot bread onto the plate, I blow on my fingers, retrieve the plate, then place it down on the table. Todd grabs a slice as soon as the plate touches the wood, and I smile at my little brother’s eagerness.

“You act deprived of food,” I chide.

“I am,” he sputters as he bites into another chunk.

I scoff. “Please. You sure as hell don’t look deprived. Plus, your big sis looks after you.” I beam back at him and bat my lashes.

He opens his mouth to respond but is halted by the doorbell. My heart skips a beat, and my blood turns to ice. Todd must sense my apprehension because he stands. My little brother has become my defender this past year. I fought so hard to get custody of him, and now he fights just as hard to protect me.

Todd swipes his hand over the security screen, then his shoulders relax, and he begins unlocking the door. “It’s fine, it’s—” He doesn’t get chance to finish before Tate pushes through the door.

The moment our gazes collide, all the uncertainty about earlier drains away from me. Remorse coats his features as he steps toward me, and when his arms band around me, drawing me against his chest, I melt against him, breathing in his fresh sandalwood cologne. “I’m sorry I stormed out,” he whispers against my ear.

He draws circles on my back, reminding me of our first night together and bringing a wave of emotion I wasn’t prepared for. “I’m proud of you for having your wings, baby.” I cough, trying to disguise the sob lodged in my throat.

A loud clapping echoes the apartment. “Fantastic that your lovers tiff is over. Now, are you going to eat, or did big sis cook this all for me?” Todd tilts his head toward the table.

I giggle against Tate’s chest.

“Did you cook?” I raise my head to meet his blue eyes, and the storm from the office has evaporated from them.

My fingers dance along his neck and over toward his nose that I give a bop. “I’ll have you know, I’m a good cook.”

“You’re so fucking perfect.” He takes my hand and kisses my fingers delicately.

“Christ. You two are ridiculous,” Todd groans with his hand on his forehead. “Whatever you did. Apologize to her later, when I’m not here, will you?”

“Oh, I will.” He winks, and a promising smile graces his face. One that sends a rush of need coursing through my body.
