Mallory tugs on Tate’s arm. “Let’s go too. We can talk to Ten about this tomorrow.”
The next thing I know it’s just me and Olivia in the kitchen cleaning up. She’s quiet and it doesn’t feel like a good quiet. I take a deep breath and finish loading the dishwasher. “So are you mad at me for not telling you about Nash and Tenley?”
She glances up at me as she finishes putting some uneaten fresh veggies back in the fridge. “No. I get that it wasn’t your secret to spill. I’m just…. I’m bummed she didn’t confide in me.”
“I think she just thought if she didn’t talk about it, it didn’t happen,” I explain, relieved that she isn’t mad at me. Olivia turns, her back to the countertop and she sighs. I hold her hips in my hands and stand in front of her. “Honestly, I think it[‘s a fake certificate. Nash hired a lawyer when it happened and she couldn’t find any record of the marriage actually being registered.”
"When did it happen?"
“In Vegas, on the same trip where we happened.”
Olivia laughs her head tipping back, putting her smooth long neck on display so I press my lips to it. Her laughs turn to a sigh and her fingers slip into my hair. "Leave it to Tenley to out-crazy me. I go for a one-night stand. She goes for a marriage."
I kiss her earlobe, her jaw, her cheek. “Hopefully her marriage is as fake as our one-night stand.”
“The only fake about that night was my second orgasm.”
"Zing!" I say and pull back to look into her eyes which are glimmering with sass. "And also ouch. I'm still embarrassed by that."
“You’ve more than made up for it,” Olivia replies.
“I should probably try again, just to make sure,” I lift her ass onto the counter and kiss her, long and slow, letting my tongue explore and play. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
"Now take me to bed or lose me forever," Olivia demands and I chuckle. "My mom made me watch Top Gun.”
“I don’t remember that line.”
“The original, not the new one.”
“Oh,” I laugh. “Well, it’s a good line and who am I to argue?”
I kiss her again before lifting her off the counter and carrying her to my bedroom. I have no idea what is going to happen to my brother. But I do know that he may not know if he's technically married to a Garrison girl, but I'm pretty sure that I will be… one day.
