“Mmhmm…mi see if you big, bad, and brave whenhim fling cocky under yu rass.”
“Yeah. I’ll tell you all about it.”
“What does she mean?” Chrissy whispers.
“That his swag is turned all the way up, andbasically I won’t be so smug after he fucks me.”
“Oh.”
“That’s Mr. Flintstone right there,” Tonicontinues.
“He’ll definitely make your bed rock,”Chrissy adds.
I look between the two of them in marvel. Ican’t believe they just met today. “Yeah, well…I’ll be his Wilmaany day.”
I smile up at him as he stands before me.
“Hey, babe.”
“What is all this?”
“The guys wanted to throw you a party…ourway. But I think this is more for them than you.”
There’s a chorus of “happy birthday” and thenthe music starts back up. I’m overwhelmed. I just don’t know whatto say.
“You must be Toni,” Gage says to mybestie.
“Yeah. Nice to meet you. Thanks for thetrip.”
He raises a brow at me when she hugs him andkisses his cheek. I wave it off and he shrugs.
“No problem. My girl wanted you here.”
“Shit, Rave. Please want me here moreoften.”
“Move. Then I won’t need to miss you.”
“Find me a man like him and we have adeal.”
Gage gives her his cocky grin and motions tothe room as he pulls me away. “Take your pick.”
Everyone greets me as we pass by. Even someof the Hounds. Ellen kisses my cheek and whispers in my ear.
“Happy birthday.”
“Thanks. Where’s Mikey?”
“In the back, sleeping. That kid can sleepthrough anything.”
Gage leads me into the corridor and pushes meagainst the wall. I forget about everything going on in the nextroom and wrap my arms around his neck as he lowers his head. Hislips cover mine as he grabs my ass and lifts me off the floor. Iwrap my legs around his hips and part my lips for his insistenttongue. I moan at the first taste of him – like peppermint and myfavorite dessert. He sucks on my tongue and presses his crotch intomine with a groan.
“Fuck. I can’t even look at you withoutgetting hard.”
“Perfect. ’Cause I get wet just thinkingabout you.”
He lets me down and reaches into his backpocket. I stare down at the small, rectangular box he presents mewith.
“Happy birthday.”
