“Thank you,” she whispered then she placed a light kiss on my cheek before she hopped off with ease.
My brows pinched together with confusion as I swung my leg over then turned to face her.
“For what?”
“For this morning. Well, for everything really.” She smiled up at me. “I really like Ed. He’s cool as shit.”
I barked out a laugh.
“That he is.”
“I’m glad you have each other.”
And that right there told me that she got it without me even having to explain anything.
Shit.
There was that warm feeling in my chest again.
I resisted the urge to look down to see if there was some strange glow coming from where my heart was.
Yeah, I knew it was silly but I didn’t think I’d be surprised if there was.
“Alright,” she said, catching me off guard because I had been a little lost in my head. “Get to work, slacker.”
“Yes, ma’am,” I replied with a mock salute.
With that, I turned and made my way up to the garage.
Ky took one look at me and shook his head.
“What?” I asked in a tone that clearly sounded confused. Or maybe it was more like I’d been caught.
“You got that damn smile.”
“Smile? I smile, so what?”
“No, brother.Thatsmile,” he said like that made it any more clear. “You’re so fucked.”
He turned his back on me without waiting for me to respond.
And yeah.
I was fucked.
So fucking fucked.
“Hey, Ky?”
“What?”
“Your nipples…” I couldn’t finish the question. Really, I wasn’t even sure why the hell I was thinking about it now. I guessed it was all things Bridget running through my mind.
The look on his face was almost comical because it was clear he was confused as to why the hell I said that.
“My nipples?”
“Uh, why did you get them pierced?”
