Page 22 of One is Never Enough

We kiss for so long that I desperately need to come up for air, but I can’t pull my lips away until a wolf whistle has us splitting apart. With my breathing out of control, I look over Aiden’s shoulder to see Toby standing on the porch with a shit-eating grin on his face.

“Did you kids have fun?” Toby asks.

“Toby!” Jace’s voice booms from inside the house. A shirtless Jace appears on the porch, and Toby freezes. “I told you to leave them alone.”

Toby takes off from the porch with a laugh and heads toward me. He slides behind me and locks his arms around my waist. “You can’t hurt me without hurting Oli,” Toby tells Jace, still laughing.

Jace comes after Toby, and he turns me around, using me as a human shield. “Get your ass back in the house, Dirty boy.”

“It’s okay,” I say, laughing. I love seeing this dynamic between them, especially since Aiden is still guarding me from the front.

“No. I told him to leave you alone to do what you needed. I turned my back for two seconds, and he disappeared. He’s worse than a fucking toddler.”

Aiden starts dying laughing. “A feral fucking toddler.”

“Let’s go in the house,” Jace says, his eyes still on Toby.

Toby makes the mistake of letting me go to walk away, and Jace lunges for him. They hit the grass, rolling around, each trying to get the upper hand. “Should we stop this?”

Aiden shakes his head. “No. This happens a lot. It’s their weird form of foreplay.”

“It’s kind of hot.” Watching them wrestling around allows me to watch their muscles shift and flex. “Okay. Really hot.”

Aiden throws his arm over my shoulders with a laugh. “You got that shit right.”

I snuggle into his side, feeling everything start slotting into place.

This is where I was always meant to be.

Chapter 9

Toby

The last thing I wanted to do today was leave Oli, but I needed to get some things done at Inferno, and he had some client meetings. I decided that since Oli was giving Aiden a second chance, I would bring him with me and try to give him one too.

I was pissed at what he did to Oliver, but I was also pissed that he lied to me. I understand his reasoning even if I don’t agree with how he did it.

“Why are you so quiet?” Aiden asks, leaning back in the seat of Jace’s dark blue Maserati. He’s going to kick my ass when he finds out that I stole it after he left for work.

“Just thinking.” I stop at a red light and glance over at him. “Are you serious about this with Oli?”

“Yes,” he says without hesitation. “I almost fucked it up once. I won’t make the same mistake again.”

“Oliver is really important to me.” I pull away from the light and take a right on the next street. “I’d literally kill for him. So, you need to know that if you ever pull something like that again, there will be no fixing it. I won’t forgive you a second time.”

“I swear, you don’t have to worry about me.” He looks around and turns back to me. “Where are you going? Inferno is the other way.”

“I just have to do something really quick.” I pull in front of the small restaurant and shut the car off.

Aiden gives me a funny look and then sees who’s sitting by the window. “Are we fucking stalking Oliver?”

“Not stalking. I just want to make sure he’s okay.”

“This is the definition of stalking, Toby,” Aiden laughs. “He’s working. He’ll be fine.” I watch Oliver laugh with the guy he’s talking to and feel my jealousy spike. I know it’s weird because I share him with two of my best friends, but I trust them. “Your crazy is showing.”

“Fuck off.”

“You know Oliver would never cheat on you, right?”
