Leaning in to kiss her, she met me halfway, absolution lingering on her lips. Slowly, sweetly, I tasted her, groaning at the taste I’d missed so much, the taste I had clung to and dreamed about more times than I could count.
“I love you, Linds,” I said, resting my head against hers once I pulled away.
“That’s nice,” she said with a smile, pulling away. I noticed then it was our turn to go down the hill.
“‘That’s nice?!’”
She laughed. “Yep. Super nice. Thanks, Dustin.”
“You little brat,” I said outrageously, grabbing our sled and following after her.
I set the sled down and she got in front, waiting saucily for me to join her. I wrapped my body around hers, nipping the bottom of the ear.
“You’re trouble.”
“You’ve always known that,” she said. “But you love me anyway.”
I chuckled. “I do.”
The light turned green and we tipped forward as the gate lowered. I wrapped my arms tight around her as she gripped the reins.
The whole way down she screamed that she loved me from the slope tops. Now I just wanted to hear it while I had her under me once again.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Lindsay
By the time we got home my heart was light and my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard.
Getting to spend some one-on-one time with Dustin, letting go and having fun, was exactly what I needed.
We tumbled through the front door of the pack house and the first thing I noticed was that it was way too quiet. There was music on, but none of the telltale voices of the guys.
I looked at Dustin questioningly and he shrugged.
Walking further into the house my eyes widened at the scene before me, shock filling me. An answering wave of love flowed down my bond from Adam and I slowly walked over to the coffee table that was filled and picked up the note that had our names.
We hope you two had an amazing Holloway, but it’s not over yet. We’ll be working on some last minute things for the festival. Enjoy the rest ofyour night and remember that the happiest endings sometimes have the sweetest beginnings.
Love,
Adam, Ollie, and Spencer
My eyes roamed over the living room. They’d strung clear lights from the ceiling, and they’d moved one of the posters from Dustin’s room.
The coffee table had a big bowl of popcorn and the glass marble drinks we used to get in high school. It was then that I noticed what song was playing on repeat, my breath catching.
“They recreated the night…” Dustin said, wiping his hand down his face.
I knew the brothers were close and that Dustin had told him that we had taken that step together in high school, but I hadn’t realized he’d given them that much detail about the night we’d both chosen one another for our first times.
“Someone is a sharer,” I said teasingly.
A blush tinted Dustin’s cheeks as he worried his lip ring for a moment. “Can you blame me? We’d all wanted you forever and you chose me. I had that night permanently playing in my mind for years every time I closed my eyes.”
“It’s sweet,” I said, letting him off the hook and stepping into his arms. “Although, you know what time it is. Are you ready to get your ass beat?”
A chuckle escaped him. “Bring it on, babe.”
