I cocked an eyebrow. “How are you going to do that?”

“I was thinking something along the lines of this.” Ethan moved so he was on top of me, propping himself up on his arms to hover over me.

My breath left me as he delivered nipping, teasing kisses along my jaw and then down my neck. He continued on to my chest, pressing lingering kisses across my pecs, tonguing my nipples.

Ethan took his time to work his way down my stomach, his tongue finding the grooves of my abs, kissing me gently, reverently.

Even though I’d just had an intense orgasm, my cock gave a hopeful twitch with Ethan’s mouth in such close proximity.

He laughed softly and gave my cock a tender kiss. He looked up at me, his green eyes bright and shiny.

“My miracle man,” he whispered softly.

I tugged at his hair, pulling him up so I could capture his mouth with mine because there was no way I couldn’t kiss Ethan right now.

Just as our kiss started to deepen, my phone chirped.

Ethan drew back. “You want to get that?”

“Nah, I’m pretty sure voicemail was invented for these situations.” I nudged my nose against his, angling to get his mouth back on mine.

But as soon as my phone finished chiming it started again immediately.

Ethan pulled off me with a concerned look on his face. “I think you better get it.”

I fumbled around on the bedside cabinet until my fingers closed around my phone.

As I lifted it up, I saw the caller ID.

My mother.

“Hello?”

“Luke?” I hardly recognized her voice. It had a frantic edge I’d never heard before.

I sat up. “What’s wrong?”

“There’s been an accident.”

Ethan

Luke’s bare shoulders tensed. “What do you mean, an accident?” he asked.

It was as if the word reared up and bit me.

Accident.

Theo.

My heart threatened to catapult out of my chest.

Oh fuck no. No. No. No.

I lurched up into a sitting position, crowding close to Luke so I could hear what was going on.

“It’s Char.” Alison’s voice sounded ragged.
