"Because you were one of the first in a relationship, and Luna isn't here."
"I'm sure Luna gives better advice. Speaking of our absentee sister, Mom said Luna wants to visit soon."
"She does?" I asked, surprised at the development.
"Yeah, she wants to see you and Hayden, introduce you to Axel."
"Everyone will be home again."
"It will be nice to have everyone together. It makes me think that I should let this thing between us go."
I let out the breath I felt like I'd been holding onto forever. "I think so too."
"I'm glad you stopped by, even if I didn't make it easy on you."
"That's how it is between brothers. We're not supposed to make it easy on each other." I couldn't go back and fix what I'd done, but I could do better going forward.
When I picked Saylor up later that night, she wrapped her arms around my neck. "You make nice with your brother?"
"I did," I said, amused that she was tipsy from her night out with her friends. She'd asked if I would pick her up, and as soon as I spotted her at the beach bar, she was affectionate and whispering not so softly how she wanted to get me home and into bed.
I had a feeling she was going to pass out as soon as we got home. Hayden decided to stay overnight at her friend's house, so we had the cottage to ourselves.
Saylor twisted her fingers in my hair. "Did he forgive you for being a bad boy?"
I almost choked on that characterization. "I don't know if I'd go that far. He's willing to give me a chance. Hopefully, things won't be as awkward going forward, and I can start officially working for Kingston Construction when Hayden is back with her mother.
Saylor's expression dimmed. "The summer's almost over."
"Our time together is coming to an end," I murmured.
"We have to make the most of it." She jumped, wrapping her legs around my waist, and I held onto her ass.
"You want to take me to bed?" I asked her.
She giggled. "I think you're taking me to bed."
She was a sassy drunk, but I still wasn't convinced she wouldn't pass out in a few minutes. I carried her upstairs as her hands gripped my hair and she kissed me. When we reached her room, I dropped her onto the bed so she bounced.
She arched a brow. "Are you going to strip for me?"
I pulled my shirt over my head and pushed down my shorts. I was wearing easy access clothes, no buttons or zippers. Nothing to get in between us.
"You're sexy when you take off your clothes."
I waggled my brows, amused at her praise. "Why are you still dressed?"
"I want you to take my clothes off."
I placed a knee on the bed. "Challenge accepted."
She sat up, fumbling with her dress, and I helped her pull it over her head. I wouldn't have sex with her tonight. If she stayed awake, I'd give her an orgasm or two before I let her pass out. This night wasn't about me. It was about making her feel good.
She was braless, but I pulled her tiny black thong over her hips and flung it somewhere. She spread her legs, her pussy was already glistening for me.
"You want me?" I practically growled as I knelt between her legs.
"I always want you." Her voice was low and husky.
