paused.
“No, I’m going to get off and talk to her. Do you think you could tell him why I called?” I wasn’t sure I could stand to hear the disappointment in his voice when he found out what I’d done.
“Don’t worry about your brother. He loves you and only wants you happy. If this girl…this Everly makes you happy, then he’ll be overjoyed you’ve found someone.”
She was right. Although I knew he’d be slightly disappointed in me for letting myself get into a potentially bad situation.
“Thanks for talking me off the ledge. I’ll call you once I get settled at home.”
“I’m here for you always. You know that. Be kind to her. She might be freaking out just like you are.”
I’d be alarmed if she wasn’t freaking out at least a little.
Hanging up, I slowly stood up and made my way over to the shower to turn it off. A shower could wait. First, I needed to see where Everly’s head was at.
Before I had a chance to leave the bathroom, the door flew open and Everly came in with the sheet wrapped around her body. She staggered inside, her long hair a tangled mess, but halted when her eyes landed on me.
It wasn’t until that moment I realized I hadn’t bothered to cover up after I got out of bed.
“If I couldn’t still feel you between my legs and this on my finger,” she held up her left hand and pointed to the band that sat on her dainty finger, “I’d think last night was a dream.”
“Not a nightmare?”
When she continued to stare, I moved until I was close enough to reach out and touch her. “Are you okay?”
“What?” She shook her head. “Yeah, I’m fine. What did you say? Your dick had me mesmerized.”
Mesmerized was a good word for it.
“I asked if last night was a nightmare for you.”
“Can you…” she grabbed a hand towel and handed it to me, “cover up or something. With the way my head is pounding and your body on display, I can’t concentrate.”
Taking the towel, I placed it over my hardening shaft, but he was happy to see Everly and wanted to greet her a good morning.
“While I’d like to get up close and personal with Mr. Happy again, I think we’ve got bigger fish to fry, don’t you?” She turned and headed out of the bathroom.
Grabbing the robe off the back of the door, I put it on and tied the sash around my waist while following her out into the bedroom. “Trust me, Mr. Happy as you called him would like to get reacquainted with your tight pussy again, but you’re right, we need to talk.”
“Do you think we could order some coffee and some pain relievers first?” She sat down on the bed and held her head in her hands. “I feel like death rolled over me while I was sleeping and kept moving along.”
“Til death do us part feels pretty apt right now, doesn’t it? I don’t think I’ll ever drink tequila again.” I chuckled as I picked up the receiver and called in an order for us.
She peeked up at me, her lips thinned out into a grimace. “It’s good you have such a great attitude about the whole situation. I thought you might be mad and think I tricked you into marrying me.”
“Don’t worry. I knew you weren’t a virgin. I don’t know what about it had me playing along except I’ve felt a connection with you from the moment I saw you and went with what felt right in the moment.”
Thirty minutes later there was a knock on the door alerting me to the room service I’d ordered. “Give me a minute and I’ll be right back.” I didn’t want Everly going to the door with only a sheet wrapped around her. On the way to the door, I grabbed my wallet from my pants. I was met by a tiny old woman who looked like she could barely hold the tray she held in her hands. Giving her a tip, I took the tray and brought it into the bedroom where I poured us both a cup of coffee.
“Do you want milk or sugar?” I asked before taking a sip of my coffee.
“I’ll do it. I have to have the right amount. Here’s some Advil for you.” I took the three she had in the palm of her hand and swallowed them with my next sip of coffee.
Once her coffee was just the way
