I smirk. “Depends. Do I get one of my own?”
He laughs and relief passes over his face. “We’ll get right on that. You can’t be the only female in the family without one.”
It’s good to see the ease and smile return to his face. Man, he has a temper. His anger had been pulsing in the air.
Kissing his chest, I then place my cheek against it. He wraps me in his arms and kisses the top of my head.
“Time to continue our date,” I say.
He grunts and pulls a sour face. “Come on, let’s catch up with Ciarán. Time to get out of here and it’s time for you to cover up. That’s going to happen more the later it gets.”

“I had so much fun. Thanks,”Ciara says as she looks up at me.
She is lying with her head in my lap as we sit on the couch at her place. The TV is on, but it’s muted. We’ve been more interested in each other and our conversation.
I brought her and Ciarán back to their place in Harlem. Finding parking was a bitch. I almost told them to pack a bag so we could head back to my place. I’m not ready to let my girl out of my sight.
“I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. Ciarán seems like he had fun.”
“I think he did too. Tired him out for sure. I heard him snoring when I went to the bathroom earlier. That kid never goes to bed this early willingly.” She snickers.
I had a great time with them too. If not for those little assholes, it would have been the perfect date. I’m already thinking of other dates we can go on.
I know I have to plan them around Ciarán. He’s a big part of her life I can’t ignore. Honestly, I don’t want to.
I really like the kid. He’s grown on me. As the youngest, I’ve never known what it’s like to have a little brother.
Ciara is more than his big sister. She’s his guardian. I smile at what that makes me. Finding her again has been more than I expected in a good way.
“What are you planning to do with your day tomorrow? Ciarán has school, what will you be up to?”
“Ugh,no,” she drags out. “I had so much fun today. I don’t want to think about adulting.”
I chuckle and run my hand through her hair. That was a bad move. The semi hard-on I’ve had for the last two hours comes to full life.
“I only want to know what we’re doing with our day,” I say.
“We?” she says and lifts a brow.
“Yeah, unless you have something you need to do. I thought we could drop the kid off at school and spend the day together.”
“Don’t you have a gym to run and training of your own?”
“I do, but you’re more important to me. I want to make up for all the time we lost.”
“Honestly, I would love that, but I need to find a job. I’ll blow right through that money from the other night. If Ciarán brings home one more trip slip, I’m going to scream.
“That place is expensive enough. Why are the field trips so bougie and expensive? He’s always so excited about them. I don’t have the heart to tell him no.
“He’s a good kid. It’s not his fault I lost my job.”
I shrug. “He can bring those to me from now on. I’ll give him the money. All you need to do is sign for permission.”
She pouts and rolls her eyes. “No, Dylan. I need to find a job to take care of my brother myself.”
“What were you doing at the job you lost?”
