And she’d never run to anyone else again. Because I’d always be there for her. In any way she needed. I slammed into her harder, my fingers digging into her thigh.

I couldn’t stop staring down at her. Sucking on her skin. Squeezing her tits. We were completely in the moment. Together. No fears. And definitely no pain. Unless I fucked her any harder.

“Feel better now, baby?” I said and bit down on her earlobe.

She shattered around me, gripping my cock.

Fuck.I emptied myself inside of her. Filling her pussy with my cum.

Chapter 8

Friday

Brooklyn

I felt surprisingly calm. Every time I moved, I was a little sore from my time in the shower with Matt. It pulled me back into this moment. Right here. With all the Untouchables and their spouses. Being here with them felt like home. And it made me feel young again. Like we were having a sleepover back in high school or something.

I blew on my mug of hot chocolate. It was like no time had passed at all. Yet…so much at the same time.

Matt pulled my feet onto his lap and smiled at me. He’d borrowed some clothes from James and the too small t-shirt clung to his muscles almost as much as his wet dress shirt had. Luckily Penny and I were about the same size. The leggings she’d let me borrow were more comfortable than anything I owned. And I couldn’t help but think about the pair that Matt had ripped recently. I really needed to go shopping. I smiled. I definitely didn’t think I’d be calm enough to be thinking about shopping right now.

“I can’t believe you almost killed someone,” Penny said to Matt. She was sitting on James’ lap and he was absentmindedly tracing circles on her thigh.

They looked so at peace. I was so happy for him.

“I don’t know if I would have done it,” Matt said.

I wasn’t so sure about that. It really seemed like he had been about to. But I was glad he hadn’t.

“I thought you were gonna do it,” Rob said. “You were all like, get Brooklyn out of here, I don’t want her to see me kill this lunatic.”

Tanner nodded. “He would have done anything to protect you, Brooklyn.”

I knew. But he didn’t need to. I lightly nudged Matt’s thigh with my foot.

He caught my ankle and started to massage my sole.

I sighed and sunk farther into the pillows on the couch.

“Craziest birthday ever,” Daphne said as she took a sip of wine. She seemed the most rattled still.

And I got it. She’d already lost someone close to her. I took a deep breath, trying to focus on Matt’s fingers on my skin.

“The most memorable birthday ever,” Rob added. “Only fitting for this lovely MILF.”

“Stop,” Penny groaned. But she was smiling so hard.

“A super memorable engagement too.” He smiled at us.

I looked down at the ring on my finger. After all these years, it was still a perfect fit. And this time it meant more. Because this time it was permanent.

A comfortable silence settled around all of us. I looked over at Mason and Bee. I was so happy to see him so happy. His eyes met mine and he winked at me.

I rolled my eyes. He probably thought I was checking him out or something. I definitely was not. I took a sip of my hot chocolate.

“I have an idea,” Rob said. “Let’s play truth or dare.”

“How do you play?” Tanner asked.
