I hope she never stops looking at me like that.
Especially when I tell her that when Dean comes to save us from whatever the hell we’re going to get up to, he’ll mainly be coming for me.
CHAPTER
THIRTY-SEVEN
Kenni
To my surprise, we hit the floor before we start drinking.
Not our usual MO.
We don’t need alcohol to be Shenanigans Inc. We ride the bull, which I send the boys a video of. Ash sent me back a screenshot of me screaming with laughter and told me it was my new photo contact. The boys are always saying how much happier I look, and I can’t wait for them to learn it’s because of Dean. Ash and Flint have always adored Dean, and I am a bit worried to tell them since it’s so soon after I left their dad, but I know I’ll have their support.
With love warming my heart, I play pool and darts with Missy and Sadie before heading to the floor for our favorite line dances. Our laughter is loud, our dancing amazing, and that sense of safety that Sadie and Missy offer me is like a hug as the music blares through the speakers.
I love them.
I’ll always love them, and while I know Dean and I have Sadie’s support, I am scared shitless of Missy’s reaction. Sadie offered totell Missy, but I’m the one who has to do it. We’re adults, and if she has a problem, we’ll have to figure it out because I love being in Dean’s orbit.
When we’re out of breath and in need of hydration, Sadie points to the bar to let us know she’s getting drinks. I follow Missy to a spot in the corner that thankfully is a little quieter. When she sits, she pulls me to her and wraps her arms around my neck, pressing me into her chest, her breasts hot against my face. “Missy, you’re suffocating me with your titties.”
She lets out a barking laugh but hugs me tighter. “I just want you to know how much I love you.”
Great. All the guilt comes crashing into my chest as I sigh deeply, but I still bask in her love. I hug her back, and she kisses my temple. When I glance up, she looks at me in such a loving way, my eyes burn. She moves a curl behind my ear, and her eyes sparkle with different shades of blue. “Since coming home, you’ve been so much brighter, Kenni.”
“I’m home.”
She boops my nose. “Yup, where you belong.”
And I’m having regular sex with a beast of a man. I’m pretty sure I’ve had more sex in a week than I have in my entire life.
I’m sore, but I have no complaints.
Sadie sets shots on the table along with three Coke Zeros before plopping down beside Missy. “Why are we hugging? Let me in!” she complains before wrapping her arms around both of us. I laugh as she squeezes me and pulls me in tighter. God, these two. We part, laughing, before taking the shots that Sadie got for us. I wince as the Fireball burns down my throat before chasing it with my Coke Zero.
Missy holds up her empty shot glass then looks between Sadie and me. “I have news.”
Why am I holding my breath? Does she know? Before I can start freaking out, she says, “Nyle wants to knock me up.”
I blink and Sadie snorts. “Be real.”
Missy shrugs. “Nope, true story.” She sets her drink down,letting out a long breath. “We’ve gone to the doctor. I can get pregnant, but it’ll be high-risk.”
I state the obvious. “You’re almost forty.”
She laughs. “Oh, I know, and I’m gonna be a crazy bitch, but I want a baby too. With him.”
My heart swells at the sweet look on her face. She’s grinning, her cheeks pink and her eyes full of excitement. Sadie’s brows are arched as she asks, “You sure?”
“Yeah,” she says softly, almost shyly. “I want this.”
“Then let’s have a baby!” Sadie yells, smacking the table, and I grin widely.
I wrap my sister in a tight hug, giving her a big kiss on her cheek. “Congratulations!”
“It hasn’t happened yet, but yeah, I’m excited.”
