Chapter 35

RUBY
Lying here in Maddox’s arms is like a dream come true, and as if he’s in my head, he mumbles, “I’m never letting you go.”
I chuckle against his chest and lift my head to stare at him. “Well, you might want to because I need to pee.”
“Fine,” he huffs and reluctantly he lets me go. Rolling off of him, I climb out of bed. “You better come back,” he whines like a petulant child.
Looking over my shoulder at him lying there with sex hair, I grin down at him. “There’s nowhere else I want to be, Mad. I’ll be right back.”
Skipping across his room, I head into the en suite, closing the door behind me. We aren’t at the peeing with the door open stage of our relationship yet, and that should have been a red flag with Joel. I was never allowed in the bathroom when he was in there. We couldn’t even brush our teeth together. Speaking of teeth, I can’t remember the last time I brushed mine.
After using the toilet, I wash my hands and then I grab Maddox’s toothbrush, squeeze out some toothpaste, and brush my teeth with it. This is another no-no, according to Joel. He was happy to eat my vagina but sharing a toothbrush was unacceptable.
I’m rinsing my mouth when my phone begins to ring, I smile when I hear the tone, it’s Sab. I haven’t spoken to her since shit hit the fan with Joel and then Mad whisked me away. We’ve texted a few times but I haven’t actually spoke with her.
“Hey, hey, Sis,” I hear Maddox say through the door as I wipe my mouth on the hand towel. My hand is on the door to step out when I hear Sab screech and then it’s followed by, “Ooh my God, you two totally fucked.”
My eyes widen and I wrench the door open, my eyes are as wide as saucers. Walking over to the bed, I snatch the phone out of Mad’s hands and turn the screen to me. “My eyes,” Sab cries, covering her eyes. I look down and realize, I’m naked … and there are love bites on my boobs.
“Please,” I scoff at the screen. “We went skinny-dipping the other day.”
“That’s different, now cover the girls up.”
“Fine,” I tell her as I walk back into the bathroom and pop my phone on the counter. “Now, while I pull on a shirt, tell me why seeing my tits while skinny-dipping is okay but now isn’t?”
“Because now you have sex tits.”
“Sex tits?” I repeat.
“Yep, sex tits … and sex tits from my brother. What the fuck, Rubes?”
Pulling one of Maddox’s shirts over my head, I pick up my phone, and walk back into his room. He’s sitting on the edge of the bed and he’s pulled on his boxers but he’s still shirtless, I take a moment to ogle him. “Focus,” Sab shouts and I can’t help but laugh.
Taking a seat on the bed next to Maddox, I take a deep breath. “So, ummm, there’s something we need to tell you. ”
“No fucking shit. How did this happen? When did this happen? How?—”
Maddox grabs the phone from me. “My penis entered her vagina?—”
“Lalalalalalallala,” she sings. “I don’t mean that, you dickhole. I know how it works, I have two kids … and I’m married. What I meant was how did this”—she flicks her finger between Mad and me—“happen?”
He looks over at me and with his eyes locked on mine, he tells his sister, “I’ve been in love with her since she was nineteen and we snuck around one Christmas.”
Another screech echoes through the speaker. “What the fuck?” Then she falls silent. Dropping my gaze, I look at the screen to check if we’ve been disconnected, but Sab is sitting there speechless, her mouth wide open.
“I think we broke her,” I tell Maddox, he looks over at me and gives me that sexy grin of his.
“I think we may have.” He looks back to the screen. “You good, Sis?”
“I’m … processing.” Then her eyes widen. “Dear brother of mine, are you telling me the one who got away was my best friend?” He nods. “And that one Christmas, many moons ago, you two secretly bumped uglies and no one knew?” We both nod this time. “And you!” She turns her attention to me. “You kept from me the fact you slept with my brother?” It’s my turn to nod. “And now, what, you two are a couple?”
“We are,” I confirm. “Is that okay with you?” I hesitantly ask, I’m not sure how I’ll react if she’s not happy about this.
“Is that okay with me?” Again, Mad and I both nod. “It’s more than okay, it means that finally we will be sisters, and you’re with the one you were always meant to be with.”
“You’re not angry?”
She shakes her head, grinning like the cat who got the canary. “I’m over the fucking moon you two are together, but I’m pissed you both kept secrets from me for the past however many years.”
“We feel bad about that, but in all honesty, it was just that time at Christmas you didn’t know about. You’ve known of my crush on your older brother since even before I did.”
“Yes, I did call it,” she cheekily informs us. “But no specific peen or sex talk. I don’t need to hear that about my brother.”
“So you don’t want to know....” But the rest of that is cut off when Maddox slams his hand over my mouth.
“No penis and/or sex deets,” she growls.
At the same time he whispers so only I can here, “I’ll give you all the penis you need as soon as we get off the phone.” He nips my earlobe and the bite heads straight between my thighs.
“And on that note, I’m gonna go. Hopefully this storm passes before Christmas. I wanna hang out in person with the hottest new couple in Evergreen Lake.”
“It’s not looking good, Sis. Dennis said it’s pretty bad out there and even if it does clear, I’ll have to work.”
“But I don’t,” I voice.
“YAY,” Sab singsongs. “And on that note, I’m going to let you two lovebirds go, and remember, if it’s not on, it’s not on.” My eyes widen and I remember he and I going bare just before. Not using protection is so much more intimate. More intense … and suddenly I can’t wait to do it again, but a bucket of cold water is splashed on me when Sab screeches, “Oh my God, you dirty slut, you.” She cackles and slaps her thigh. “Bet I’ll be an aunty before the new year.”
Shaking my head, I can’t help but grin at my best friend. Only she would go there. Mad and I have only been together for less than a day and she already has me barefoot and pregnant. Don’t get me wrong, one day I would like to have Maddox’s babies, but let’s give it time before we get to that part. For now, I want to enjoy him, and just him.
“Bye, Sis,” Maddox calls out, pressing the red hang-up button on the screen. He turns to me and he has a look of hunger on his face. “I’m going to feed you?—”
“I’m down for that.” I waggle my eyebrows at him.
“Food, I will feed you food.”
“Ohhh,” I dejectedly pout.
“But after, I’m going to have you for dessert, and then I’m going to fuck you in every conceivable position before we collapse.”
“Unless you have lube, you aren’t getting near my ass.”
“Spoilsport,” he whines.
“Not my problem you aren’t prepared.”
“Well, I wasn’t expecting on having naked company over the holidays.”
“Touché,” I agree with a nod. “Now feed me so you can then feed me with your cock.”
And feed me he does. Maddox whips up chicken parmesan, which was delicious, and then he did exactly as he promised. He had me for dessert … and then he fucked me into a coma.
