She gets them on and sits back down on the bed to rest. She looks over to the box sitting beside her. On top is her red, lace thong. She picks it up and shows it to me. “God, I miss these.”
I wag my brows. “Me too. As soon as you can wear them again, I’m pulling them off with my teeth,” I promise.
She snorts. “That will be a long time if you think I’m letting you come near me with that thing again.”
I laugh. “What’s the chances we’ll get triplets twice?”
“I don’t know, but I’m not taking my chances.”
We manage to get her dressed, and just as we’re walking out of the motel, Drake is walking up, holding out his keys for my truck. He’s wearing a big smile and holding out his hand.
I drop the keys into his palm. “Don’t fucking wreck my truck,” I yell at him as I help Deven into the passenger side of her SUV. It’s easier to get her into her car than it is to lift her up into my truck.
“Don’t tempt me,” Drake says, climbing behind the wheel and revving the engine loud.
I shake my head. “Fuck, he’s going to pay me back for the time I wrecked his brand-new Mustang.”
Deven laughs. “When did you do that?”
“I was a kid. He had just turned sixteen, and his dumbass left the keys in it while he ran into the house to change. Five seconds later, there was a loud crash and he ran out to find that I’d driven the damn thing into the side of the barn.”
She laughs loud. “How’s you manage that?”
I shake my head. “Who knows. I was just wanting to pretend like I was driving, not actually drive, but things got away from me.”
I close her door and go around to the driver’s side. I climb behind the wheel and start the car, shifting into reverse and following Drake. As soon as we hit the old dirt road that leads to the house, he hits the gas and opens her up, taking off ahead of me at the speed of light.
I grind my teeth together as Deven laughs. She knows I won’t drive like that with her in the car. I have no choice but to let Drake have his fun and kick his ass when we stop. I pull into the drive ten minutes later, and Drake is already parked and out of the truck, leaning against the side. He holds his arms out at his side. “What took ya so long? I was about to sit down and have a snack, I’ve been waiting so long.”
I park and climb out, heading for him, but he laughs and dodge me, running around the truck to put it between us.
“I’m going to kick your ass one of these days,” I threaten.
“Yeah, right. At least I didn’t run it into a damn barn,” he throws back.
I shake my head. I knew he was going to bring that up.
Deven opens her door and her hand comes flying out. “Forget about me?”
“Never,” I say, stepping up to her and taking her hand to help her out.
She stands up and closes the door, then looks up at our big, two-story home. “Wow, it’s even better than I remember it.”
“Let’s go check out the inside,” I say, taking her hand and helping her to the door.
I put the key in and the door opens easily. She goes to take a step, but I stop her. “Wait! We have to do this right.” I pick her up against me and she squeals. I grunt, nearly throwing out my back, but I walk her over the threshold and set her back on her feet inside.
I place my hands on my knees and bend over to breathe. “I think I gave myself a hernia.”
She rolls her eyes. “Yeah, you just picked up four humans and enough water to bathe an elephant. Jack ass,” she mumbles as she walks through the house. She stops at the bottom of the stairs. “No way am I getting up these any time soon.”
“That’s fine. We’ll sleep in the guest bedroom until after the babies are born,” I tell her, pulling her toward the room that’s off the kitchen and dining room.
The bed is already set up and looking comfy as possible. “I think I’ll take a nap while you two move everything in and get ready for the party.” She sits down and kicks off
