“No, it doesn’t,” I insist, however I’m undecided if I’m being trustworthy. No, wait, I do know I’m being trustworthy. “This isn’t about Stone.” And it’s not about that unbelievable kiss. “It’s about you and your sudden case of insecurity. It’s about your obvious lack of belief in me, though I’ve by no means given you a motive to not belief me.”

He nods, however I can see that it doesn’t matter. “Perhaps that’s true, however I do know what I noticed, and I do know what I really feel, and it’s not truthful to me, Ivy. You want to choose. Determine your shit out.”

“A selection? What do you imply I want to choose? Are you breaking apart with me? As a result of that’s precisely what this feels like.”

His laughter is bitter, punctuating the air between us. “Determine. Your. Shit. Out.”

“He’s my pal,” I shout, immediately extremely aggravated at my so-called boyfriend. “I assumed he was your pal, too!”

Grey glares at me, his anger palpable as he smacks his palm in opposition to the bar. “Make your selection. Me or Stone.”

And with these phrases, he stalks away from me, leaving me to choose that I didn’t understand wanted to be made till simply now.

Silly fucking males.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Stone

I can’t get that goddamn kiss out of my head. The best way Ivy’s lips felt in opposition to mine, mushy and prepared as I devoured her mouth. She gasped once I first laid one on her, however then that little minx was giving it proper again. Gripping my hair tight, pulling me in nearer like she couldn’t get sufficient.

I pinned her beneath me as I took what I’ve been longing for years. She made these sizzling little whimpering noises that went straight to my dick. Ivy wished me simply as dangerous as I wished her. I might really feel it in the way in which she clung to me.

For these few moments, she was mine. All mine. That kiss was simply the beginning of what I’ve been dreaming about. However then she shoved me off, placing a cease to the most effective rattling kiss of my life.

Lastly, I rise up and prepare for the day. Brush my enamel and wrap a bandana round my head.

I open the door and cease on the sight of my ma standing in entrance of my bed room door. “No, Ma, this isn’t creepy in any respect.”

She rolls her eyes. “Shut up and inform me what’s improper.”

“Nothing is improper, Ma. Nothing in any respect.” She in all probability doesn’t imagine me, however I’m not able to dissect my Ivy points, and I’m actually not able to fucking hash it out with my mom. I advance ahead, however she places a hand on my chest to cease me.

“Be affected person, son.” Her gaze searches my very own as if she will see my ideas. “You’ve been gone a very long time, Stone. Having you again is an adjustment for everybody.”

I look her straight within the eye. “Even me, Ma. You ever assume I is perhaps adjusting to this too?”

She appears to be the one individual round right here who is totally completely happy about me returning to Opey.

Ma shrugs and holds the aspect of my face with one hand. “I’m so fucking completely happy to have you ever house, son. It’s all I’ve wished from the second you left. I really like you. However now that I can’t get bare together with your dad anytime or anyplace, all of us have to regulate.”

I groan, masking my face in remorse. “Ma, please. TMI.”

She rolls her eyes. “I’m simply being trustworthy. However I’m completely happy you’re house, protected, the place you belong.”

“Yeah, me, too, Ma. Me, too.”

“Good, as a result of that is all that issues on the finish of the day. I want you to keep in mind that. Everybody else will come round.”

“Thanks, Ma.” I flip her round, and we head downstairs collectively. The load on my shoulders isn’t lighter, however I really feel prefer it would possibly get there sometime quickly.

As quickly as we enter the kitchen, the again door opens, and Dad strolls in, a scowl on his face. “Stone. Simply the person I’m in search of.”

“What’s up?” If there’s something he wants, it’ll be the right distraction, and I’m desirous to do it.

“I’ve two bikes that offered at public sale, and now they have to be loaded up within the van and shipped to Austin.”
