raised an eyebrow. “Really?”
“Why not?”
“It’s your twenty-first birthday, Vin.” She took a sip of her red drink. I assumed it was some fruity concoction. Maybe cranberry juice and vodka. I had seen her drink that a time or two at the parties Rory threw every now and again.
“So? I don’t want to be hungover tomorrow,” I explained, which I wasn’t sure why I had to. I had always liked Tenise for Rory but lately, she was getting too close. It was just little things and I was sure it was innocent, but he was my best friend and that came first.
“We need to make a promise to each other,” Mason said, taking a sip of his beer.
“What’s that?” I moved to the empty spot beside him on the couch.
“We need to promise that we won’t let a girl get in the way of our friendship,” he said as Rory came into the living room.
“I agree.” Rory slumped onto the chair beside the couch. “Unless it’s your mom though.”
My head whipped around. “Dude, that’s my fucking mom.”
“Yeah and she’s hot as hell.” Rory shrugged. “You know it’s true,” he said, looking at Mason.
“I’m not saying shit.” Mason went back to drinking his beer.
“Leave my mom out of this but yes, I agree. No woman can come between us. Ever.” I shook my head, still not impressed that Rory thought my mom was hot.
“Deal.” Rory clinked his beer bottle against mine. “What about your sister?”
“Fuck off, asshat,” I snapped but I couldn’t help but laugh.
That conversation had been so long ago, I’d almost forgotten about it. But I definitely hadn’t forgotten about our pact.
“So you and that girl.”
My eyes flicked to Tenise. I had forgotten she was still sitting beside me after being stuck in my own head.
“I—” Something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. A man was hugging Gigi. Before I knew what I was doing, I was off the stool and stomping toward her.
My name was called but I couldn’t focus on anything other than finding out who the fuck was hugging my girl.
As I zeroed in on them, Gigi shoved the man back, a deep frown set between her brows. A breath of relief left me, but it still didn’t mean that I didn’t want his blood.
She stiffened, slowly turning my way. Something flashed behind her eyes when she saw me heading toward her.
The man looked my way, his gaze burning into me, but I kept my sight on Gigi.
“Hey, what are you doing?” he demanded but I walked right past him.
Closing the distance between Gigi and I, I cupped her cheek and crushed my mouth to hers.
She gasped, melting into me.
Slipping my tongue between her lips, the kiss went past being considered appropriate. Especially in public. But I knew that she liked being watched, so I was willing to give her that excitement and also fulfill every single fantasy she ever had.
I was vaguely aware of the cheers and hollers going on around us.
“Vince,” she whispered, breaking the kiss.
“Remember who you belong to,” I told her, brushing my thumb along her swollen mouth. Releasing her, I didn’t wait for a response and walked away with a smug smile on my face.
Gigi
After Vince claimed me in front of everyone with a mere kiss, I didn’t see him for the rest of the party. When I was cleaning up and most of the people who had attended started to leave, I got a text.
Vince: I’m home.
When I went to respond, another text came through showing an image of him wearing gray sweatpants and nothing else. It left little to the imagination as I saw the outline of his very thick cock behind the fabric.
I shivered, my center clenching with anticipation.
Me: I’m on my way.
I could almost hear him chuckle. He could probably sense the desperation even though we were no longer at the same location. I had no idea that he had left already but I wasn’t surprised either. He didn’t like parties. The only reason I had thrown him one was to be fair, since everyone else had one for their twenty-first.
“Gigi, thank you for the party.”
“It was fucking epic.”
“Want to plan mine?”
I smiled, laughed and waved but didn’t stop for anyone. Even when my name was called. Even when my phone buzzed and rang. I had one mission and that was to go to Vince’s apartment and spend the night with him. It was the only thing that mattered at the moment.
