“And I’m looking forward to seeing you in a designer dress. It will be like taking you to the prom.”

Colleen inclined her head. “Well, we’re only ten years late, so better late than never.”

“I love you.” He cradled her face and with slow deliberation, gave her a kiss.

CHAPTER 42

FINN

“Are you serious?” Sean asked through laughter. “You plan on taking tour groups to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and giving lectures on penises?”

“Penises won’t be the only thing on the tour, dumbass,” she said, elbowing her brother’s arm. “The tours will be based on certain themes—love, music, gardens, food, and of course, sex.”

Finn wiped his mouth with a napkin and tossed it aside. The four of them had decided to meet at the Blues Basement so Colleen could share her news. The tour company business was innovative, educational, and fun. “I think it’s a great idea.” He leaned in to whisper, “Should I be worried you’re researching the comparative size of men’s penises?”

She gave him a sly smile and a slow shake of her head. “No penis can ever compare to yours.”

“Fuck,” he growled, pulling her onto his lap, giving her a scorching kiss. He didn’t care who watched them.

“Okay, you two,” Ana said. “That’s enough PDA for one night.”

With a final kiss, Finn settled Colleen back in her chair.

“So, Mom comes home this weekend,” Sean said, changing the subject.

It was an awkward topic, but it had to be dealt with. Colleen was going to have to tell her mother about what their former neighbor had done to her.

“I called her to let her know we’re coming to LA soon. I’ll tell her about Dan Pike and then Finn and I will go to San Bernardino to give my statement.”

Colleen had shared her abuse story with her brothers. She discussed it with Sean first. He struggled with the fact that there might have been more he could’ve done. But he was just a small kid himself. She spoke to Ryan and Aidan on the phone. Ryan was furious; his emotions shut down. Aidan kept her on the phone for a couple of hours. He listened, counseled, and offered spiritual guidance. All three supported her decision to give her impactstatement.

“You’ve finished it?” Sean asked.

“Yeah, but who knows what will come out of my mouth when I’m standing in court with him.”

Finn observed Colleen closely. Writing the statement had been difficult for her, but she persevered. He’d offered to read it, but it was something she wanted to work on herself, and he was incredibly proud of her courage.

“My offer to be with you when you talk to Mom still stands,” Sean said.

“Thanks. Finn will be with me in LA, but when I talk to Mom, I want to do it alone,” Colleen said. “Anyway,” she said, focusing her attention on Sean and Ana, “what’s new with you guys?”

Finn took a sip of beer while Sean and Ana shared that they were moving in together.

“We’ll be neighbors! Isn’t that great, Finn?” Colleen said excitedly.

The past week had been wonderful. Colleen was living with him and their lovemaking had been passionate and fun while they explored the kinks Colleen was curious to try. But it was more than just sex; their relationship expanded in ways he never would have imagined. His father had left him alone, and there had been no more meetings with Reed. Mary looked at him with concern, but he wasn’t worried about it. Once the gala was over, everything would settle down.

After a couple more drinks, the band finished tuning and opened their first set. Sean and Ana said their goodbyes and left, but Colleen wanted to stay and dance.

Finn leaned in close to her ear. “You sure you don’t want to go home?” He wanted her right then and wasn’t sure he could wait until they got home.

“Not yet.” Colleen pulled him onto the dance floor. The thumping bass filled the club. She looked over her shoulder, giving him a wink. The sexy sway of her hips in a short, red dress and high heels beckoned him.

The dance floor was getting crowded, but Finn found a less-crowded corner. He took her in his arms as Colleen’s hips moved in tempting seduction. The band played a song about making love, the singer made the lyrics sound downright filthy. He couldn’t wait to put his hands on her.

He pulled her tight, his hand sliding down her back to her shapely ass. She moved her hips against his thigh, his cock straining against his jeans. He held her close to him, making sure she felt his erection.

She sucked in a breath and looked up at him with desire. He was the luckiest man on earth to have her in his life.
