Those eyes. Those damn blue eyes just pull me in. I don’t have any other choice. I bend down and pick her up so her face is level with mine, and I kiss her.

She tastes like Heaven. Her lips are so soft and perfect. I wait for a slap, but it doesn’t come. She kisses me back. Her legs wrap tighter around my waist. I lose my footing slightly but manage to get us both to the nearby wall.

I break the kiss. “East, I want you so fucking much. It’s killing me.” I kiss her again.

She breaks the kiss. “Sorry, BG, but don’t you remember what I just said?”

“No, you said a lot of stuff.” I can’t take my eyes off hers. She’s like a hypnotist without the sideshow.

“I told you I was never having sex again.”

Bullshit. I bite her bottom lip.

“Oh, yes you are, East, and you are having it again tonight.” I kiss her again.

She shakes her head. “Oh no I’m not, Zed. I told you. I’m not having sex again until I’m married. I’m not going to be pumped and dumped ever again. Don’t you listen?”

“Yes, I listened, and I also heard what you said about me being scared of your brothers. I’m not scared of them. I have respect for them. It’s different.”

“No, it’s not. Not in this case. If you wanted me, you’d have me regardless of my brothers. But—”

“Just shut up and kiss me, East, before I drag you down that road to the nearest fucking little white wedding chapel.”

“Well, that was actually a shittier proposal than North’s and West’s put together.”

“Just kiss me, will you?” I bite at her lip, and she finally gives in.

Kissing her is the most amazing feeling I’ve ever had. When I’m kissing her, I can hear the birds singing and violins playing. I have no idea what is happening to me, but I know right now I can never let her go. Not now, not ever.

“Are you going to let me take you back inside?” I ask gently.

“Not like that anyway. I’ve told you twice now, and I’m not in the habit of repeating myself like a freaking parrot.”

“Well, there’s only one thing for it, then.” I set off, walking with her still attached, her legs wrapped firmly around my waist.

“Where are we going?” She laughs.

“You’ll see.”

Chapter 11

East

Well,thatwasthefastest turnaround ever. Although I really do like being in his arms. His big, beautiful, tattooed arms.

I wasn’t lying when I said that the next guy I have sex with will have to marry me first.

Why the hell do I feel so drunk? My legs are not working properly, and I can’t help but look at Zed and want to lick his face. Fuck, he is handsome. Although he is the identical twin to Drake, I can tell the difference.

The way he smiles, the way his eyes sparkle when he laughs, the way his shoulders move when he walks, and oh my god his butt cheeks. I could nearly cry when he bends over. All these emotions and I have no idea where they are coming from.

The more I look at him, the more I want him.

He keeps kissing me and biting my bottom lip, trying to coerce me into going back inside. I really want to, but I can’t. I made myself a promise and I will do my very best to keep it.

Every time he kisses me, it’s like electricity running through my whole body. I could hold on to him forever. The way he held my hand and helped me up off the floor, he already feels like he’s mine. He’s like my own true knight in shining armour.

“Are you going to let me take you back inside?” He groans.
