It didn’t.
Huh.
“What’s up?”Zeke’s dark eyes scanned over me, as though he was trying to read my mind.
“I need to talk to you.”
Zeke sat back in his chair, regarded me coolly.“About?”
Although I’d gone over this conversation a million times in my head, had even outlined two different endings, I still found it difficult to get it out.
I took a seat, forced my mind to clear, realized it was.There was no voice urging me to do or say anything.It was … silent.
“Edge?What the fuck is going on?”
I sighed.“We’ve been friends a long time, Zeke, and I hope you’ll keep that in mind.”
This time, he frowned, leaned forward, forearms on his desk.“Spit it out.”
I nodded, refused to fidget.“I’m in love with your sister,” I blurted.
With my eyes on the desk, I took a deep breath, geared up to say more when Zeke’s gruff chuckle sounded, drawing my eyes up to his.
Shit.I did it.I pushed him over the edge into insanity.
“Now, before you decide to smash my face in, I need you to understand a few things.”
Zeke smiled.Actually fucking smiled.
“I’m not gonna bash your face in.”
“No?”
“No.”He leaned back, relaxed.“Have you told her yet?”
“Yeah,” I said softly, thinking back to last night.I met Zeke’s eyes.“I’m also in love with Cav.The three of us…”
“I figured as much.”
I frowned.“You did?”
Zeke laughed, a chest-rattling rumble that echoed in the room.“No, man.I had breakfast with my sister.”
I exhaled, and I could’ve sworn I lost a good ten pounds of anxiety with it.
“So she told you that Cav and I are in love with her?That she’s in love with us?”
“She did.”
I swallowed.“There’s more.More we haven’t mentioned to her yet.”
His eyebrows rose, eyes narrowing.
“I’ve decided to buy a penthouse in the Chatter building.We want to ask Jamie to move in with us.”
“Is that right?”Zeke drummed his fingers on the desk.“Are you taking her as your submissive?Both of you?”
Although telling Zeke I was in love with his sister hadn’t been easy, this was the most difficult for me to discuss.Not because I worried about his reaction, more so because I had yet to admit it out loud.Not even to myself.
