CHAPTER 68

“What… What is this?” I swallowed, looking at Ivan.

He was grinning, but it was nervous. And I didn’t blame him. I wanted to know why he was standing next to an officiant and Aaron and Dayton.

“How did you two—what? I don’t understand. Ivan, what the hell are you doing?”

He laughed silently and stepped up to me. Then he took my hands in his and slowly linked our fingers.

“Marry me,” he whispered. “Right now.”

My lips parted and I shuddered out a breath. “For real? This isn’t a joke?”

He shook his head. “Forever, Brenda. It’s only ever going to be you for me.”

I looked over his shoulder at my best friend and her new husband. “But—they—”

“Told me to,” he replied. “I like surprises, remember?”

I opened my mouth, but how do you respond to the truth? I told him that once. “

  Wild Addiction volume 2.I never knew true addiction until I met her. I never truly understood what it is to crave, mind, body, and soul—until nothing mattered but fulfilling that craving. Until the only thing that mattered was easing the hollow space inside me.It was there whenever we’re apart. Like a dark hole, it lingered, intensifying until my mind was full of dark spots. Until my mind was full of easy curves, bare before me. Until my desires reflected her, bending at the waist, her pert, little arse in the air, colored red by my palm, the outline of my fingers visible against her pale skin.Every day, it was something new, something different, something I never allowed myself to think of. It was more than against the wall, more than her hands bound, more than a blindfold across her eyes. Now, I could think

  “It’s not bad,” I answered finally, slowly, tentatively drawing each word out. “I guess, in a fucked-up way, it’s kind of similar to Aaron keeping Sharon from you. You really shouldn’t have forgiven him, but you did. I really shouldn’t accept Ivan’s past this easily, but I have.”Dayton’s lips tugged up at the sides. “You know who forgives easily, don’t you?”“A person in love,” I said in a cocky voice. “And again, there is a fundamental flaw in your plan, best friend.”“Yeah, you’re not in love. I gotcha, Ms. In Denial.”I rolled my eyes. I was not even going to argue with her. She’d continue to tell me that I was in denial and I’d deny being in denial. It’d be like the string cheese conversation all over again. Pointless bullshit.“Whatever.” I placed my empty glas

  I locked the front door to the sound of my cell chirping on the table. I grabbed it. “Message? There is no—oh, shit!” I placed it to my ear. “Hello?”A deep, rich laugh rumbled down the phone. “Hi to you, too.”Warmth spreaded through me at those four tiny words, simple but strong, and I smiled. “Hi.”“How much wine did you drink?”“Not nearly as much as you think but more than we should have.” I padded through to my bedroom. “You okay?”“Better now I’m talking to my bitch,” Ivan said, laughing quietly.“I’m fine. Thanks for asking.” I climbed beneath my covers and snuggled down.“Oh, I’m sorry, baby girl. How are you?”“Cold.”“Why are you cold?”“I might have forgotten to pay my electric bill. I have to do it tomorrow.”

  He nodded. “Yes. Take away a foot of floor and the stairs would come out in the seating area in front of the bar, and then you could go either way.”“And it wouldn’t impact the access to the storeroom, coatroom, or restrooms?”“No, ma’am. If you put the bar along this wall, it’ll actually be easier access for staff.”“Perfect. Put the bar here”—I pointed to along the wall—“the main seating area here”—I circled the area in front of it—“and the dance floor here. But make sure there’s a space to access the restrooms without having to go through the dance floor. And while we’re here, could you put a minibar in upstairs? I believe Mr. Sands wants it to be VIP and special occasion only, so they’ll want their drinks served separately.”“We can fit a corner bar in here.” He tapped the pa

  “You sound like a teenage girl who ruined up her date.”“Whatever, Brenda. Did you sort your shit out?”I smiled. “Yes, Nana. I sorted my shit out.”“Good.” Silenced for a moment. “Did you need something? I thought I told you not to call me because you’d piss me off.”I took in a deep breath. “No, Nana. I just wanted to check if you were okay.”“Good. Don’t call me again, you dingbat.”“Okay. I’ll remember not to call you again.”“You better. Did you make up with that boy?”I closed my eyes this time. “Yes, Nana. I made it up with Ivan.”“Good. Don’t call me again. Goodbye, Brenda. Love you.”“Love you. Bye.” I hung up, shaking my head, and leaned it back in the seat.Ivan handed over the money, dumped the food in my lap, and pulled away from

  “Gross.” I made a swipe for the bag, but he held it to the side. “Ivan! You’re such a fucking child!” I jabbed him in the bicep.He winced, dropping his arm, and I took the chance to grab the bag.With a laugh, I said, “Ha! Who has the food now?” I got up and ran around the table, digging in for my burger. I unwrapped it and tear a bite off in a very unladylike way.Hey, if the guy can fuck me on a regular basis, he can deal with my eating habits.“Brenda,” he said slowly, standing, his eyes dead on mine. “Give me my burger.”I shook my head.“Brenda.” An undercurrent of a threat was in his voice, and despite the small thrill it sent through my body, I took another bite of my burger.“Yes?”“The burger.”I shook my head for a second time. “Nope. You take my food, I take yours.”“You took it back.

  “Come here.” He nudged my nose with his and slid me off the counter. Without letting me go, he carried me through to my room. Just when I was smiling at his act of romance, he pulled out of me and dumped me unceremoniously on my bed.I shrieked and grabbed my sheet to stop myself from falling onto the floor. “You dick!” I yelled as he disappeared into the bathroom.Of course, he laughed. He never took me seriously when I yelled insults at him, and that was half the fun.“Hey, bitch.” He threw a towel on top of me and then jumped over me. His knees were on either side of my thighs, his forearms by my head, and his grinning face was hovering just inches above mine.“What?” I asked, awkwardly reaching between us and wiping. Somehow, I eased my panties down and threw them on the floor.His smile widened. “You never gave me my blow job.”My own lips moved to mirror his, and I tapped his

  “Brenda, snap the hell out of it!” Her words were short and sharp.I blinked harshly.“Honestly, I can’t decide if you’re addicted to love or a commitment-phobe.”“Both. Definitely both.”“Don’t tell me you’re seriously thinking that being with Ivan is a bad idea.”I leaned back in the chair. “I’ve never not thought that. He’s a very, very bad idea.”“You really piss me off sometimes.”“Good. At least the feeling is mutual.” I grinned and she returned it.“Seriously, meeting his sister isn’t a big deal. You don’t even have to meet her with him. We’ll go for drinks or something.” She shrugged. “Aaron’s working late, so I’m basically sitting around like a dick every night, doing nothing.&r
