Noah takes us all back to the house and stays. My soul mate comment actually seems to invigorate rather than discourage him from seeking my affection. We play games and he sits really, really close to me, laughs loudest at my jokes, touches me gently. Ty watches and says nothing, sits across the room from me, frowns with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and makes my little sisters giddy with joy when he agrees to play dress up with them.

When it gets dark, Noah goes to leave and there's this awkward moment where we don't know what we're supposed to do – kiss? hug? shake hands? – so we do nothing and it's one of the tensest moments of my life.

“See you soon, I hope,” he whispers as he disappears out the door and Ty drapes himself over my shoulders. He's wearing a sparkly tiara and a pink dress that my sisters have cut up for their fashion show. It hangs in rags from his strong shoulders, bares his belly beneath. I want to grab his hand, drag him upstairs, and explore his body, but I can't. It's almost time for dinner. The dinner where I'm supposed to find out everything about Jade and Luis and whatever else happened while I was gone. I've already met Danny, Maple's father, and that was bad enough. He was an uptight, suit wearing piece of shit who could not have looked any less thrilled to be picking up his child for the night. Guess my sister was good enough to fuck but not worth enough to be pleasant to. He didn't even say hello to her.

“Thank God,” Ty whispers, breath hot as hell against my ear. “I thought he was never going to leave.” I try to pry him off of me, but instead, he spins me around and keeps hold of my wrist, places his other hand against my lower back and kisses me half to death. Ty's lips are hungry and his teeth are needy, biting and eating away at me while I do my best to keep from moaning and collapsing on the floor in a puddle.

“Never,” Beth hisses from the staircase, causing Ty to step back with the world's phoniest Who me? look on his pretty face. Guess his charm works on women of all walks because my sister smiles coquettishly and reprimands only me. “There are children in this house.”

“Yeah, okay,” I tell her, admiring the white dress she's put on for our outing. Beth looks so pretty and grown up; I wonder when I'll look like that, if I'll ever look like that. Maybe it's because she had a baby? I don't know, but I'm not having one anytime soon. I remind myself to pick up condoms while I'm out tonight, whether I want to use them or not. When we go back to California, I'll get some more birth control pills from the clinic. For now, I have to be smart. Ty is a stud, and I have no doubt that he could get me pregnant with a mere glance.
