“Don’t you try to give me advice. You married my best friend and didn’t tell me.” Raven burst into tears, and I stood there, stunned.What the fuck just happened.

Lennox raised from his seated position and slowly approached his wife. He pulled her into his arms and held her as she sobbed.

“Princess. Baby, it will be okay. I will beat his ass.” Lennox’s words were said in a soothing tone, and I wanted to laugh. My brother was capable of a lot of things; saving a person’s life, performing spinal surgery, prescribing medication, but whooping my ass… no, not ever.

“Do you promise, baby? Because I know this is Sawyer’s fault.” Raven continued to sniffle as Lennox reassured her he would kick my ass. Both of them were fucking insane.That’s why they get along so well.

“Why do you assume this is on me?” I questioned, trying not to laugh at Raven. I know that her hormones played a significant role in her outburst, so I wouldn’t hold it against her because she wanted my brother to fight me. After all, I married her best friend without her being there.

“Because I know Sasha can’t keep a secret, so it has to be your fault.” Raven’s gray eyes were like daggers, and her lips were twisted up in a fierce look. I really wanted to bust out laughing when her little hands balled into fists. Lennox told me how she loved to fight, but I didn’t want her to be upset. PJ was due any day now, and I sure as fuck didn’t want to be the reason she went into labor.

“You’re right. It’s my fault, sis.” I looked down at the ground to gain my composure and hopefully fool Raven into thinking I was really sorry. When I looked back up, her hands were relaxed, and her pout was gone.She was entirely too easy.

“There are things going on, and I didn’t want you to worry, especially in your delicate state.” I smiled lovingly, and I could see by the look in her eyes she was softening, my brother, however, just gave me a smirk. Lennox knew exactly what I was doing.

“Okay, fine, itisyour fault. But I want to know every detail, and I can’t believe Sasha got married without me.” The tears started to well up again, and I knew I had to do something before the crying became worse.

“She didn’t want to, Rae. Listen, we will have dinner tonight anywhere you want to go, and we will explain everything to you.” The lie flowed so easily that it was almost a crime. But there was no way I would tell Raven and Lennox anything that Sasha didn’t want them to know.

“Why don’t you let Lennox take you home, and we’ll see you tonight, okay.” I crossed over to Raven and rubbed her back as I led her to the door. Lennox trailed behind us, shaking his head. All I know is he better not say shit. Just like he would protect his wife, I would protect mine. Lennox didn’t want Raven upset, and I didn’t want Sasha upset.

“I need to talk to Sasha first.” Raven sniffled.

“It’s okay, Sasha had an important meeting, she’s sorry. I distracted her enough for the day. I promise we’ll see you tonight. Go get some rest.” I kissed Raven’s cheek, and she nodded her acceptance.

“You’re not slick, motherfucker. I want to know what the hell is going on, and all of it.” Lennox said where Raven couldn’t hear. His smirk was still in place, but I knew that he was serious. I nodded. I would tell him what he needed to know.

After I walked them out, Flynn was coming back with our lunch. I still don’t know why he and Darby insisted on doing grunt work, but I didn’t have the energy or the patience to deal with that issue right now. I needed to get back to my wife to reassure her that everything would be alright.

When I got back to her office, Sasha was looking out of her window. The view of the Founder’s port can be seen, and it made quite the serene picture. If the windows were facing the other way, she would be able to see my warehouse from here.

I walked over to Sasha and placed my arms around her waist from behind. I put my head on her shoulder and breathed in her sweet scent. She wrapped her arms around mine and took in a deep breath.

We stood there for a moment in silence. Just breathing in each other and looking out of the window. It is probably the most peaceful time we had since being married. Too bad it came at a cost.

“It will all work out, Céile. I promise.” I whisper in her ear with conviction. I would never let anything hurt my beautiful Sasha, and if I had to take the blame for not telling people about our marriage, then I would do it in a heartbeat. I didn’t give one flying fuck what people thought about me, but Sasha did. And I would protect her.

“You promise, Monster.”

“I swear on everything I love, baby.”

Chapter 15

SASHA

Icouldn’t stop fidgeting. My hands and legs displayed just how nervous I am to have dinner with my best friend. I never thought I would be this anxious to see Raven. I have been married for approximately two months, and I hadn’t said a word. The longer I waited, the guiltier I felt. And now, with Raven being eight months pregnant, the last thing I wanted to do was have her worried about me.

“Sweetheart, I already promised you that everything would be fine. Stop worrying.” Sawyer pulled me closer and tucked me under his muscular arm.

The only good thing that came out of today’s fiasco was that our intimacy returned with ease. I no longer felt that I had to hide how attracted I was to Sawyer. And boy, was I attracted! The man was sexy without trying. The danger that pulsed around him drew me in like a moth to a flame. I couldn’t get enough of his random touches or his deliberate ones. Being so close to him and smelling that unique Sawyer smell had me high. The delicious aroma that wafted off of him made me want to lick him from head to toe. Hell, I might do that anyway.

“Céile, did you hear me? Are you listening?” I looked up into Sawyer’s smirking face.Hell nah, I’m not listening. I’m thinking about that big monster dick of yours.

I licked my lips, “Sorry, I didn’t hear what you said.”

“Hmmm. It seems like to me you have something on your mind. Care to share?” Sawyer ran his thumb over my bottom lip, and before he could take his finger back, I sucked it into my mouth.

Sawyer bit his lip as he pushed the digit in and out of my mouth like he would his dick. My nipples pebbled under my dress, and my pussy soaked the seat of my panties. I knew we weren’t leaving this car until I had my fill. Maybe I could get rid of this nervous energy by riding my husband in the back of this car. The partition was up, and I knew Brennan wouldn’t be able to hear or see us. I might as well take advantage of this new found freedom. I grabbed Sawyer’s hand so that I could speak. He looked at me with a frown but didn’t say anything.
