CASSIUS WAS A WARM blanket of comfort and safety. I tangled up in his bed that night, happily playing the part of little spoon. Clay sat up in his bed reading.
âToday was the longest day of my life,â I announced. âFrom Brandon to FBI agents. Iâm glad to be horizontal right now.â
Cassius nuzzled my neck. âI know what will make you feel better.â
âIâm always down to pound, Cas, but tonight Iâm exhausted.â
He laughed. âIâm not always after sex, Em.â
âReally? Since when?â
He nipped my ear. âTrying to lose your present?â
I giggled. âNope. Present, please.â
Cassius vaulted off the bed, opened his minifridge, and held up a bottle of cream soda and Nerds.
âAww. You do love me.â
I accepted my treats, not wasting time downing half the bottle on the spot. The sweet, fizzy drink eased my tension.
âWe saw Brandon as they carried him out of the nurseâs office. Nicely done, baby,â said Cassius. âWhatâs going to happen to him?â
âTheyâre going to arrest him. Iâll tell Eli the good news in the morning.â Cassius placed a pillow on my lap and stretched out on me. I ran my fingers through his hair, mind drifting to something else we needed to talk about. âHow are your folks?â
âMom is still at home,â Clay spoke up. âWeâve been sending suggestions to her but now sheâs saying she canât choose until she visits the place. Most of them are out of state. It wonât be easy.â
âIâm going to the clinic on Saturday. Iâll drop by the house and try convincing her in person,â Cassius told me.
Clay dropped his book on the nightstand. âLetâs watch a movie. Emâs earned a break to eat her weight in sugar and just relax.â
âIâm slowing up on the sugar,â I said with a laugh. âJust one bottle for me. Iâll save the Nerds for later.â
The boys got up and pushed the beds together. We went back and forth on movies until we settled on Now You See Me. Action-packed for the boys but with some lightness and humor for me.
I rested my head on Clayâs chest and secured Cassiusâs arm over my hip. âI love being the filling in a Walker sandwich.â
âThat sounds crazy dirty,â said Cassius. âYou trying to get something going because I thought you were too tired?â
I swatted his thigh. Cassiusâs vengeance was swift. He jumped on top of me and tickled me breathless into the sheets. It took a while to calm down and get into the movie. We laughed, joked, tore apart the tricks, and for a stolen pocket of time I was a normal girl basking in attention from the boys I loved.
The next morning, I dressed in my room and then returned to the boysâ hall to knock on Royalâs door.
âMorning.â I pecked him on the lips. âI figured Iâd make your stalking duties easy and invite you to the court with me and Eli. Weâre getting some tennis practice in.â
âItâs not stalking when youâre mine.â
âI should be curbing this possessive streak, but I really like being yours.
