“My bad,” Sienna jokes. “What were you two men discussing?”
“Your husband was just telling me to get laid and see if her pussy is as good as my mystery woman’s,” I say, knowing I’m throwing my big bro under the bus.
His eyes widen at the same time Sienna gasps. “Micah!”
“What?” he says with a shrug, playing it off. “He’s obsessed over this woman and whining like a little girl. Something needs to give. His mood is killing my vibe.”
I chuckle when Sienna playfully slaps his chest. “Could you replace my pussy?” she asks with a laugh as her phone begins to ring and she reaches into her pocket to grab it.
“Fuck no,” Micah says immediately, not falling for that trap.
“Exactly,” I agree. “I want her. Not some cheap knockoff.”
“Except you don’t know who she is,” Micah points out. “So, unless you want to remain celibate for the rest of your life, you’re going to have to get back out there. And I’ve had enough of your crankiness. You need to get laid.”
CHAPTER TEN
ELLIE
I’m going to do it. I’m going to tell my sister. She’s texted me asking if I’ll be home for my birthday or if we should celebrate early, when they come for my graduation. It’s been over a month since I found out I was pregnant, and since then, my body has already started to change. My breasts are fuller and slightly sensitive, I have a bit of morning sickness, but thankfully the iron supplement and prenatal vitamins are keeping the dizzy spells away, and my belly is starting to form a little bit of a bump. It’s not huge, but since I’m tiny, it’s making the changes in my body more prominent.
Because of exams and the showcase, I couldn’t fly there like I wanted to, so it has to be over the phone. The longer I wait, the harder it will be. They’re flying here next week for my graduation, and the last thing I need is Sienna finding out I’m pregnant before I’ve told her.
Before I can talk myself out of it, I hit call and a couple rings later, Sienna answers the phone, laughing over the line.
“Hey, sis, how’s it going?”
“Okay,” I say vaguely. “How are you?”
“Oh, I’m good,” she says, cackling. “But Lincoln just showed up and apparently has a broken dick.”
“What? Why?” I gasp, wondering what the hell happened, when I know for a fact, it was working just fine a few months ago.
“He’s obsessed with finding the mystery woman,” she says. “So, Micah told him to go out with other women.”
“He told me to screw other women!” Lincolns yells over the phone, and I’m momentarily distracted by the sound of his voice. No matter what’s going on, he’s always smiling and laughing. His voice, while masculine and deep, is constantly filled with happiness. Just listening to him speak soothes me...Until I think about the words he spoke.
He’s having sex with other women...Moving on. That’s good. This is for the best. If he finds someone else, he’ll be too distracted to be pissed when he finds out what I did.
Yes, Lincoln moving on is definitely a good thing...
“Whatever,” Sienna says flippantly. “Screw other women. He was cranky, so Micah told him to find someone else so he would go back to being his usual happy self. But based on the way he’s pouting, I don’t think it went well.”
“It didn’t go at all,” Lincoln says. “I’m broken. She broke my dick.”
Oh God. This isn’t good. When he finds out it was me who broke him, he’s going to be pissed. My sister is going to be pissed. Micah is going to be pissed.
“Hey, Sienna,” I choke out. “I gotta go.”
“What? You just called,” she says.
“I know, but...I have to go. I’ll call you later.”
Before she can argue, I click end on the call and then turn off my phone. My head is resting in my hands as I freak out, when Raelyn walks in and plops down on the bed.
“What’s going on?” she asks.
I raise my head and sigh. Then I explain to her what happened when I called Sienna. When I finish, she says, “Maybe this is a sign.”
“A sign? For what? Me to leave the country?”
“No.” She snorts out a laugh. “A sign that he’ll forgive you. He obviously wants this mystery woman something fierce.”
“Yeah, the mystery woman. Not me.”
“Maybe he’ll be so happy to finally know who the mystery woman is, he’ll overlook how it all went down and that she’s you.”
“No way.” I drop my head back onto my pillow and stare up at the ceiling. “Once he knows she’s me, he’s going to lose his shit. I never should’ve done what I did...”
But even as I say the words, flashes from our night together hit me, the way he worked my body, making me feel only pleasure. The hours of talking in between. I’ve never connected with someone on such a deep level.
