Only one more to go.
Tomorrow.
When I sober up.

JADE
Beer-scented puffsof air tickle my cheek as a boner prods my backside. Someone’s tattooed arm locks around me. A palm splays across my stomach as a certain man cuddles me from behind. I don’t know when he slid into bed, but I’m relieved he’s home. When I went to look for him after our… whatever that was, he was gone. Brew texted to let me know White Boy was at the clubhouse. I didn’t expect him to make it back tonight.
“Jade, are you… are you… away? Awake. I… I love you,” he whisper-slurs against the shell of my ear before peppering sloppy, open-mouth kisses across my shoulder. “I love you so much. Please don’t be pissed I wanna marry you.”
“Josh.”
“Hmmm?”
“Why do you want that?” I ask, though I probably shouldn’t, given his state of intoxication.
“Soulmate. You’re mine.”
“But I don’t believe in those.”
“That’s okay. I’ll believe it enough for both of us.”
“Josh.” He’s so sweet.
“Babe. I jusss… I jusss wanna make you happy. I wanna take care of us… our little family. My son.”
“Are you talking about Hunter?”
“Hmmmm. Yep.” Josh nods against my shoulder. “My son. He called me dad. I… fuck… Sorry.” He hiccups.
“It’s okay.”
“Can we have five more of him?”
I grin. “No.”
“Can we at least practice?”
“Josh.” A tiny giggle escapes.
“What? You’re… so hot. The sexiest woman I’ve ever met. My dick only works for you. See.” To prove his point, the man rubs his hard-on against my butt.
Trying hard not to laugh, I reach around and playfully slap his thigh. “Oh. Stop it.”
“It’s true. I broke up with Bitty.”
“When?”
“Tonight.”
“How? Wait. What?”
“She’s with Viper now. I’m happy for them.”
“Bitty is with Viper?” What the hell?
