“That’s true.” She kisses me once. Then teases, “So you consider me your futurewife?”

“I consider you my future.” I slap her big booty ass. “Period.”

Roman

Just clocked out. Am I picking you up?

Liam and I are in his bed. Naked. Like we have been for most of the day, minus the hour and a half we dipped out so he could take me to my therapy session. I show him the text, and he shakes his head, presses his lips to my bare shoulder. “Stay another night?”

“I can’t,” I sigh. “I don’t have any clothes.”

Liam scoffs. “You’ve been naked all day. Just wear the same ones you wore yesterday.”

I press my mouth to his and kiss him. Just once. Anything more might push us further, and we’ve done so much of that already that I’m aching in places I can’t even reach. “I should go home,” I say through a sigh. “I came here to spend time with Roman. I don’t want him to think differently just because I have a boyfriend.”

Liam doesn’t respond, and so I glance over at him, giggling at how ridiculous his smile is. “Boyfriend, huh?”

I smile back. “You mad I’m not calling you my future husband?”

He rolls his eyes. “It was just—you know what? Never mind. Just tell him I’ll have you home before dinner.”

Liam says he’ll have me home before dinner.

“You could have worded it better than that,” Liam says.

“What’s wrong with how I worded it?”

“It’s like I’m controlling you.”

I laugh once, turning to my side to face him. “You know, you’re going to have to get over your fear of him if this is ever going to work.”

“It’s the tattoos.”

“You’d be hot with tattoos.”

“You don’t think I’m hot already?” he asks, grabbing my ass and pulling me closer. “Because when you were on your knees last night, offering to recreate my dream, you seemed—” He cuts off with a physical jolt when my phone dings with a text. “I didn’t mean that!” he almost shouts, speaking at my phone.

I bust out a laugh. “He can’thearyou.”

“Still…” He shifts closer so he can read Roman’s response.

Roman

Tell him to bring dinner and have it with us.

“What does he want?” Liam asks.

Addie

What do you want?

Roman
