Page 94 of Sin for You

We pulled away and Bull came up beside me, wrapping one of his arms around my waist and tucking me in against his front, Jack still in the other. Bull’s mouth came to my ear. “Thank you for being so amazing.”

“You don’t need to thank me. I love Dane,” I said, taking Jack’s soft little hand and kissing it. He giggled.

Bull grinned down at his little cousin then back at me. “I know, sweets, but not getting married until he had his head on straight enough to come home and be a groomsman was going above and beyond.”

“It was my idea. Besides, it’s just a piece of paper. I know you’re not going anywhere and neither am I.” I knew it down to my soul. What Bull and I shared was like nothing else I’d experienced or could have even imagined. No one could touch it, could touch us. I never knew two people could love each other this way, could trust each other like this.

Cassy took Jack and handed him to his uncle. Dane held him a little awkwardly at first—not surprising since they hadn’t spent a lot of time together—but he got the hang of it pretty quick, and going by the way Jack had hold of Dane’s lips and was laughing like crazy, he had a new fan.

Cal and Cassy led Dane toward the house, and Bull pulled me to a stop when I started to follow, wrapping both arms around me. “You want to set a date?”

“What…now?”

“Yeah, why not?” he said, hand sliding to my ass and squeezing, right over the bull’s head and horns he’d tattooed on my right butt cheek to celebrate our engagement.

“Okay,” I said, grinning. “I don’t need anything big or fancy, though. I don’t want a whole bunch of people either. Just our families.”

When Bull’s eyes lost some of their joy, I curled my fingers around the side of his thick neck and gave him a little squeeze. “Do you want to invite her?” He hadn’t seen his mother in months, but the last time he had, nothing had changed. She was still as toxic as ever. One of the last times she’d called, I’d answered while Bull was in the shower and told her if she wanted money to get a damn job. Of course, she called again later and acted like it’d never happened. I despised the woman, but she was Bull’s mother. If he wanted her there, I’d suck it up.

He shook his head. “Nah, I don’t want her ruining our day.” He pressed his forehead to mine. “I told her I wasn’t giving her another cent the last time she called, not unless she gets help with her drinking. I’m not useful anymore. I’m not sure I’ll hear from her again.”

I hugged him tighter. “You have me, and you have everybody in that house.”

“It’s all I need. You’re all I need, sweets. Christ, I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

I took his hand, ready to lead him inside, but Bull lifted me off my feet and threw me over his shoulder instead.

I burst out laughing as he jogged up the stairs.
