LEGEND

The pain started as a dull ache.

Nothing more than a spark of agony that slowly grew until it finally had me wincing. I turned my head away from Finn so he couldn’t see the wounded expression I was sure passed across my face. I stretched out my fingers against my thigh, gritting my teeth together as another wave of hot discomfort slid its way through me, settling in my chest and making my heart give a sharp throb.

This wasn’t the first time I’d been stung by my sweethearts, and it wouldn’t be the last. It took more than a bit of suffering to stop me loving something beautiful. The sting wasn’t the worst one I’d received, but the pain would grow worse over time. If I could hold off my reactions as long as possible, then Finn would have no idea. First, I needed to get him to my sister’s house.

The drive felt too long for my liking, even though she lived close in Pallarenda, which was only a few suburbs over and near the beach. The new driver—one of my blokes who volunteered his services tonight—finally pulled into her driveway. When he stopped the car and turned off the ignition, I shoved myself out of my door. The driver rushed around to Finn’s side before I could get there. He opened Finn’s door and bowed his head slightly in respect as Finn got out, and by the time I’d walked around to him, Finn’s cheeks were flaming a deep red again.

He was the most beautiful man I’d ever seen, and it was difficult not to exhale deeply every time I saw him. While I’d never really had a type, I’d always liked pretty things, and it made sense that the moment I saw Finn, I wanted him. Men around these parts were all the same—gruff and hairy—and while I’d found some softer people to spend my time with, Finn coming into my life was like an explosion of something right. It was as though I’d been waiting my entire life for him.

Cyclone’s house was large and white, with a manicured front lawn and a stone path that led to her front door. While the home wasn’t as big as mine, it sat on prime land across the road from one of the more private beaches in Townsville. I’d helped her buy it a few years back, and we’d been coming for dinner once a week since.

Mum had been sitting in the front and she’d let herself out. Most of my men knew by now that she was stubborn, and if anyone opened the door for her but her sons, they’d have their balls ripped off. She was as tough as they came, and I loved that about her, even if it was incredibly frustrating as well. As a cancer survivor, she should be taking it easy, but she never knew what that meant.

Mum wrapped her arm around Finn’s shoulders and plopped a kiss on his cheek, and I smiled, my heart warming at the sight of her treating Finn as another son.
