Christian nodded with quiet understanding. “It means a lot that you’ve got her back.”

Tig gave a small smirk. “Glad we’re clear. I was about to offer you a complimentary tat, but I get the sense you’re not exactly the ink type.”

Christian threw a quick glance my way, then winked. “I’m into her ink.” He scratched at the stubble along his jaw, looking like something had just occurred to him. “Actually… I might take you up on that. Do you do cover-ups?”

“Sure do. What are we talking about?”

“I’ve got a piece I regret. A mistake I’ve been meaning to erase. Thought maybe I could transform it into something new.”

My eyebrows shot up. Christian had a tattoo?

“No kidding?” Tig motioned toward the back. “Let’s check it out.”

I followed them, my eyes unwilling to stray from Christian’s perfect backside. Those jeans were doing sinful things to my imagination, and all I wanted was to grab a handful. I wondered what he’d do if I actually did.

The noise of the party faded the moment we slipped into

    Christian slipped his arm around me. “Well… that’s going to be happening soon. Lena and I—we’re expecting. You’re going to be a big sister.”For a moment, Chloe didn’t respond at all. But then, she started bouncing in her chair, her whole body jittering with excitement, and both Christian and I released a breath we hadn’t realized we were holding. She slid out of her seat and walked straight over to me.“Where is it?” she asked with wide eyes.“It’s in here,” I replied, placing my hands on my stomach as she gently laid her palm on it.“Will it come out with pink hair?”I laughed. “Nope. But we’ll find out who it looks like in about six months.”Without hesitation, she leaned closer to my belly and began talking to it. “Hey, you in there! I’m your sister.” Christian and I exchanged a quiet, overwhelmed smile.Then she looked up at me, and her next words nearly undid me.“Thank you.”“You’re very welcome. And thank you for being so kind to me.” Truthfully, if it hadn’t been for the way

    EPILOGUELENAChloe sipped noisily on her frozen hot chocolate while we sat across from each other at Serendipity 3. Christian had been sending me texts non-stop—he was panicking because traffic was at a standstill after dropping Meme off at her first Jazzercise class since her return. He wanted everything to go just right tonight, but I kept assuring him that Chloe was perfectly content and that there was no need to stress over being late.I could understand why he was a ball of nerves. To Chloe, though, this was just another evening out to dinner with us.“Mind if I try a sip?” I asked her.She nodded, angling the straw in my direction.“Mmm. That’s amazing. No wonder you love it so much.”Propping her chin in her hands, Chloe admitted with a sigh, “My mom got really upset with me this morning.”“Why’s that?” I asked, still chewing on the rich taste of the drink.“I wanted my hair to be pink like yours.”Genevieve must be thrilled about me.“Oh no. What’d you end up doing?”“I tried

    I had walked in with so many emotions bottled up, it honestly worried me—I thought there was a real chance I’d lose control with her, that I wouldn’t know how to touch her gently. But then she looked at me… and something inside just shifted. She calmed the storm inside me like only she could. “I love you too, gorgeous,” I murmured, voice low with reverence. “More than anything.”I took a breath, regaining a steadier sense of control. The craving was still there—burning in every inch of me—but I could manage it now. “Even so,” I continued while starting to undress, “I still need to be inside you.” I paused as my shirt dropped to the floor. “Tell me something…” I unfastened my jeans, eyes fixed on hers. “Do you want me to make love to you first, and then fuck you hard afterward… or should we reverse it? You want it rough now, and soft later?”She didn’t respond right away. I slid off the rest of my clothes quickly, stopping only as my fingers caught the waistband of my boxer briefs. My

    As I waited inside the diner, anticipation crawling under my skin, the strangest sense of déjà vu came over me. That guy I passed earlier—the one casually walking a goat—he might’ve seemed absurd at the time, but he wasn’t wrong. Here I was again, parked in a decommissioned train car, staring at photos of the body I couldn’t get out of my head. Her curves, her skin—her. There was no randomness in this. No fluke. No accident. The path we’d taken, as messy and chaotic as it had gotten, had always been meant to lead us here.Lena: I’m out with Delia. Won’t be back for a few hours.My hand slid through my hair with a groan. I couldn’t stand it. I needed her—right now. And if seeing her wasn’t possible yet, I needed at the very least some clarity. Something real between us.Christian: Just tell me I’m right. I can’t keep waiting. You didn’t sleep with him, and this was all for me and Chloe, wasn’t it?Every second that passed dragged behind it a weight. Then finally, her response came.Len

    CHRISTIANI rifled through her handbag with disbelief settling over me. Could it really be that simple? She’d stashed the damn thing in the most predictable spot imaginable. Clearly, she’d put her faith in me—a faith I didn’t deserve.As the screen lit up with the familiar apple logo, my chest tightened.My heart immediately dropped.A barrage of missed calls and unread messages stared back at me.All from Christian.Had something gone wrong?With trembling fingers, I scrolled to the very beginning of our text thread and began reading. My mouth ran dry.Where are you?I need to see you. Are you at home?You lied. I pieced it all together.You forgot something crucial when you decided what you thought was best. You can’t make me unlove you.When I’m not okay, my daughter picks up on it. She already has. I know you’re convinced your life would’ve been different if your parents had stayed together, but did it ever cross your mind that it might’ve been worse? That your dad might’ve been p

    Where the hell had she gone?“Where to now, sir?” Louis inquired as I slid back into the car.“Eighth Avenue. Tig’s Tattoo Shop,” I instructed.When we reached the shop, I told Louis to remain outside—I’d need him ready to bolt the moment Tig gave me what I needed.Tig flicked the last ash from his cigarette and exhaled a heavy cloud. “Mr. Merrick? What brings you here at this hour? We’re closing soon.”“Where is she?”“She’s not here.”I took a step forward. “Where is she?” I demanded, this time louder, sharper.“She’s in California. With Del.”“California?” I echoed, my tone ice-edged.“Yeah. The two of them took a trip. Just a girls’ getaway.”“And where are they staying?”“I’m not about to hand you the damn address. You’re her psycho ex, man.”“I have to get through to her. She won’t answer my calls. Actually—call Delia. Tell her I need to talk to Lena.”“Nope.”I advanced, moving into his space until we were nearly nose-to-nose. “Give me what I’m asking for, Tig. You don’t want t
