CHAPTER 19

I laughed. “Shut up. Aren’t you supposed to be taking your sister for dinner?”

“Yeah,” Mish said over his shoulder. She sat next to him. “Do you know his idea of dinner is Mc-fucking-Donald’s?”

I chewed the inside of my cheek and noddes. “Um, yes.”

“Hey, y’all want me to buy you dinner all the time, you gotta take the cheap stuff.”

I stared at Ivan flatly. “Honey, we aren’t in Texas. Tuck your y’alls away and don’t bring them out again until you dress up as Woody from Toy Story for Halloween, okay?”

Jack laughed loudly. “Hell, I’m gonna miss you, girl.”

“Is this a Brenda Love Fest? I want in!” Lizzy cried, squeezing me tight.

“Holy…crap!” I squeaked. “I’m only moving to a ba

  I wanted him to smile whenever he looked at me and I wanted his eyes to laugh when I’m an idiot and I wanted to feel the strength of the love he had for her directed at me.Do I want him to love me?It hurt. That question hurt so harshly in my mind. Mostly because I already knew the answer.Yes.I wanted Ivan to fall in love with me. I wanted him to fall so far that there’ll be no chance of him ever getting back up.More than that, I needed him to. I craved the idea of him loving me. I wanted to know that his skin buzzed at my touch. That my kiss ignited a fire inside him. That my voice is a soother to him. That being without me for even twenty-four hours is a completely inconceivable idea.Because I’m there. I’m teetering on the edge of the fall.“Brenda?” Ivan said softly.I looked at him. “Hm?”

  As I ran down the stairs and jumped into my car, I questioned my decision to go to Ivan before my best friend. Not that it made the slightest bit of difference because I was already driving to his apartment. My body was controlling in place of my mind.I parked outside his apartment block and took the elevator up. My heart was pounding, but I couldn’t decipher between the thump of excitement and the thump from Ivan.I thought they were one and the same.I knocked on his door three times, but when it opened, it wasn’t him.“Oh, Brenda! Hi!” Mish chirped. “If you’re looking for Ivan, he’s on an early shoot. Said he’ll be back around ten. I’m going to get breakfast since he’s left me absolutely nothing. Did you want to come?”Wow. Word vomit indeed.“Oh, it’s okay. I’ll just wait here.

  “I’m sorry?” I breathed in. I actually am. That was the sad thing.“How sorry?” His mouth travelled along my jawline to my ear.“Probably not as sorry as you want me to be.”“Good answer.” He nudged me back until I was lying flat on the bed and leaned over me. “I’m mad at you, you know.”“What did I do now?”He flicked his tongue against my neck and it moved downwards in tiny, spiraling circles. “While I appreciate the best blow job of my life and never plan to turn you down ever again, I’m pissed you didn’t let me return the favor.”He slid his hand beneath my shirt and pinched my nipple through my bra. I gasped at the rough sensation.“You weren’t supposed to return it,” I breathed as he found the button to my jeans.“I

  He dropped his head back. “One step forward, two steps back.”“Jeez, Ivan!” I stood and walked to the window. “We’ve been dating for, like, ten days.”“And fucking for weeks.”I closed my eyes briefly. “Apparently fucking and dating are one and the same for you.”“They are where you’re concerned.”Because our relationship was primarily sex, I wanted to say. Because it followed your addiction with barely any regard for my own.“I’m not having this conversation. I’m not going to argue about this. It’s ridiculous.” I walked into his room and stuffed my feet into my boots. I grabbed my purse and headed towards the door.“What is it with you and running away?”“I’m not running away. I’m walking away from a situation

  “I try.” He winked, laughing when I raised an eyebrow. “I’m kidding. I don’t need to try.”I smacked his chest with the backs of my fingers. “You’re such an idiot.”“It’s why I’m so endearing. I mean, who wouldn’t want a complete and utter idiot who makes kids laugh by singing Humpty Dumpy out of tune?” He carefully put his things in the trunk of the car.Warmth spread through my stomach and I smiled, leaning against his car, my eyes following him as he walked around it. “Oh, yes. A guy who can make kids laugh is the most undesirable thing ever. How dare you be so cute?” I rolled my eyes and sat in the car.“Cute? Did you just call me fucking cute?”I looked over at him. Well, he looked kind of offended. “Honey, you have dimples. Dimples. You are, by default, t

  He released me and headed for my door.Panic constricted my lungs. I couldn’t breathe. He was going. Why? Why is he going? He can’t go.“Where are you going?” I almost shouted, pressing my fists into my stomach.“Somewhere other than here so you can think about what you and I really are.”'Going? No. No—he is not walking away when I’ve finally told him that there’s more than just sex. It was a totally roundabout way, but I told him. And I don’t need to think.'I knew what we were. We’re crazy and painful and consuming. We’re the rainbow through the storm and the rain on a hot summer’s day. We’re the light and dark, everything bad and everything good.“Don’t go.” The words tumbled from me. Desperately, my voice cracked and I begged. “Ivan. Don’t. Please.&

  Ivan’s laugh followed me through to the bathroom—probably because he knew I was not exaggerating.I jumped into the shower, wash off, and walked out into Ivan’s arms. He wrapped a towel around my body, grinning, and kissed my forehead.“Towels. So overrated.”I laughed and stepped back, tucking the end of the towel in at the top so it stayed in place. I grabbed the second from him and wrapped my hair up. “Overrated but necessary,” I responded, shoving my toothbrush in my mouth.“Depends on your definition of the word necessary.” He grabbed a second toothbrush from the holder.I paused, stared at it, then pointed my own brush at it. “What is that?” I asked through a mouthful of froth.“It’s a toothbrush, baby girl. What else would it be?”“Cocky prick.” I spitted ou

  “Yeah? How long for?”“Only ‘til the end of the year. My diary doesn’t go past that yet.” He grinned and pulled me in for a kiss. He hummed against my mouth, the gentle sound vibrating his lips against mine. “Now go make up a menu. I expect a Blow Job as soon as possible.”I dropped my hand to his pants and brushed my thumb over the material covering his half-erect cock. “And I expect a Screaming Orgasm. Pencil that in.”I left the car after one final kiss. He laughed yet again, a sound I’m certain I’ll never tire of, and I waved just before stepping inside the bar.Now, the bar was a totally different place than it was the last time I was here. Downstairs was painted, the bar was completely erected, and all the necessary furniture was on the dance floor, still covered in plastic. The bar was covered with a p

  “What… What is this?” I swallowed, looking at Ivan. He was grinning, but it was nervous. And I didn’t blame him. I wanted to know why he was standing next to an officiant and Aaron and Dayton. “How did you two—what? I don’t understand. Ivan, what the hell are you doing?” He laughed silently and stepped up to me. Then he took my hands in his and slowly linked our fingers. “Marry me,” he whispered. “Right now.” My lips parted and I shuddered out a breath. “For real? This isn’t a joke?” He shook his head. “Forever, Brenda. It’s only ever going to be you for me.” I looked over his shoulder at my best friend and her new husband. “But—they—” “Told me to,” he replied. “I like surprises, remember?” I opened my mouth, but how do you respond to the truth? I told him that once. “

  His tongue swirled and skimmed across my body, tasting every inch of my skin. Each lick was like a blazing swipe of fire, searing into me, branding me to him. As Ivan travelled down across my stomach, he hooked his fingers in the sides of my shorts and pulled. “No knickers. Good girl,” he hummed against my hips. “Surprise.” My voice hitched as he pressed his lips to the top of my thigh. He smiled against my skin and removed my shorts completely. After discarding his own shirt, he bent down and bend my legs up. My chest rose and fell frantically, my breathing harsh. His fingers teased the inside of my closed thighs, working their way between them. But more than that, his breath on my pussy. Oh, god. I closed my eyes as he parted my legs fully and blew on me. I clenched everywhere, anticipation trembling in my legs. “This,” he murmured, kissing m

  “Because they like to fuck with you.” I smiled sweetly. “What did they talk about today?”His face darkened. “When I slept with my student.”My curiosity piqued. I’ve never actually asked about it—why he did it. No matter how much I wanted to, it never seemed like the right time. Besides, it was not dinner conversation, was it?“And?” I asked, trying not to show my interest.I failed, because he smirked and joined me at the table. “Brenda, if you want to know, just ask me. It’s fresh in my mind, funnily enough.”“Uhh. Okay. Why did you do it?” I looked at him now.“Honestly, it was a mistake. I’d met her sister a couple of times, and there was only a couple of years between them. They looked very alike. I arranged to meet her sister for a few drinks one night, but i

  “Without this bitch?” I shoved the IV forward.“No, you’re not taking it out. They only just changed the bag. You know they said they’ll take it out when it’s empty. Now sit down and wait a minute.”I sat in the chair he was just in and grumbled something I didn’t even understand. I didn’t actually think I said any words, just a bunch of awkward, annoyed sounds put together.Truth was, I knew I had to keep the IV line in. I knew I had to stay there until they say otherwise, but the problem with hospitals is that they’re not exactly relaxing. They’re too clinical and sterile. And boring. Completely boring.“Okay,” Ivan said, coming back in. “You can get dressed and come down to the shop with me.”“And how hard did you have to charm her for that?” I grunted, getting up.

  I raised my eyebrows. “For once? So all the times I did what you wanted in bed don’t count?”His grin turned sexy. “You had to do that. We had an agreement.”“But they still count!”“When you’re better, you’ll have to remind me of how they count.” He curved his fingers around the back of my neck and kissed me. “Until then, though, you’re moving in with me.”“You already decided that.”“I know. But now I’m deciding again. And while you’re resting in bed, growing that beautiful baby and not vomiting all over my shiny toilet”—I punched his leg—“you can house hunt.”“House hunt?”“Yes. For us.”I blinked at him. “Um.”“Somewhere close to Day’s place.”

  I nodded. “Will it hurt the baby?”“No, the illness itself won’t, but the dehydration can. Normally, I would listen in to baby’s heartbeat now, but since you’re so early, I probably won’t be able to pick it up.”I curled my fingers around Ivan’s and squeezed. Hard. “So what? How can you check?”“We’ll take you for an ultrasound at nine a.m. We took blood when you came in and I rushed the HCG results. The numbers put you at around nine weeks, so we’ll get a clear view of baby on the screen.” She stood. “The best thing you can do is get some sleep.”“I’ll try.”“And, Brenda?” She opened the door and stopped. “Don’t worry. Sickness is usually a good sign. It means you have high hormone levels and a healthy baby in there.”

  “How the hell do you expect me to leave you? Look at you! I can’t walk out of here after seeing you like this! It goes against bloody everything in me to do that.”“But I told you I’d call if I needed you.” My head pounded and I closed my eyes. “You shouldn’t have been here in the first place, so just forget you ever came.” I pushed past him and pulled two Tylenol out of the drawer.And stared at the glass dumbly because I couldn’t fucking keep anything down.I threw the glass in the sink and it dropped with a smash. I rested my forehead against the fridge, the tears spilling over my eyes.“Brenda,” he whispered.“I’ve never been in so much fucking pain in my life. My head is thumping and my stomach hurts so bad, but there’s nothing I can do, because I can’t keep a single fuckin

  Mark laughed. “I didn’t mean it so simply. I mean that, once a day, take thirty minutes for yourself and do something that’s you. It’s all about perspective, Brenda. If you allow yourself to make everything about him, it will be.”“It’s not about allowing myself. I can’t help it. He’s the center of my world. Hell, he’s the center of my whole damn universe, and all I can do is hold on to his gravitational pull while I spin out of control.”“You can help it. Of course you can. It’s your decision, and you have control because you’re aware of it. You’re in the position where you can grab your addiction by the balls and deal with it.”“Is that professional lingo, Doctor? Grabbing addiction by the balls?”He half-grinned. “If it’s not, it should be. It’s a very

  All of it. For him. For me. For the baby.Without a second thought. Because we were more than addiction. It was hard to remember sometimes; we were stronger than the ties that bounded us in the beginning.We are not addiction. We are love in its strongest, purest form, no matter how wrinkly or rough it is. We are indestructible, and I truly believe that, one day, we’ll be able to weather any storm.Right now, we’re the eye of the storm. We’re the tornado touching down on the ground, and our relationship was in a whirlwind, destructive spin above us. If we try hard enough, we can slow the spin and the devastation.If we try hard enough, we can erase the storm and pave the way for the mess to be fixed.My bed dipped as I rolled over, yawning. I snuggled back into the covers and reached for the quilt. It felt like something hard, something warm, though. And
