“For fuck’s sake.” Jo rolled her eyes. She’d been stacking rolls on a large platter but abandoned the task in favor of this intrusive conversation. “Can you let the poor woman speak for herself? And ‘making passionate love?’ Who the hell says that?”
Liv whirled on her. “I do, and you shut it, or you’re cut off,” she added, pointing a perfectly manicured nail at Jo’s beer. According to Brooke, Liv wasn’t the most skilled in the kitchen, so she’d been relegated to making sure everyone’s drink was topped off, and she took her job very seriously. It seemed like every time Kelsie took a sip of her wine, Liv was there to replenish it.
With a wide grin, Liv spun back around. “I’m kidding, mostly,” she said with a shrug. “We want to make sure everything went well. That you are okay and feel good about whatever did or didn’t happen between you and Ty.”
Kelsie tilted her head and studied the glamorous woman. “But you’d prefer if something did happen?”
“Well, of course, girl.” Liv playfully slapped her shoulder. “We are very picky about our sisters and want you to be one. So please put us out of our misery and tell us something!”
“We don’t claim her,” Brooke called from the other side of the kitchen.
“Please, you love me, and you know it. Now stop distracting her.” Liv practically stomped her heeled foot as she waited without an ounce of patience.
Kelsie couldn’t help it. She grinned, and it quickly turned into full-on laughter. “You guys are hilarious and a little crazy. Seriously, I haven’t known you long, but I can already say you are the best friends I’ve ever had.” She pressed a hand to the left side of her chest. “Thank you for all that you have done for me. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, big love fest.” Liv flicked her hand in a hurry-up motion.
“Liv!” Jo shook her head but struggled to hide her smirk.
“Anyway, that’s all I wanted to say. I better get back to cutting these potatoes.” She started to turn.
“Nooo,” Liv wailed. “You’re killing me.”
“Sorry,” Kelsie said, laughing. “I couldn’t resist.” She spun back. “I’m not going to give you details…”
Liv pouted.
“But I will say that lots of things happened between last night and this afternoon.”
The ear-splitting cheers from every woman had Kelsie’s eyes popping wide and her jaw dropping. Liv, of course, had the most over-the-top reaction.
“I knew it!” she screamed, jumping up and down. How she managed to keep her ankles from rolling would forever remain a mystery to Kelsie. Liv shrieked and threw her arms around Kelsie, squeezing the life out of her. “I’m so happy for you. And for me, because I love you and want you and Ty to be together forever so you can always be with me.”
“Get it, girl,” Jo shouted before whistling so loud Kelsie winced.
Harper wiped fake tears. “I’m so proud.”
“You guys need some serious help,” Kelsie said with a chuckle as she hugged Liv back.
The rest of them kept cheering, laughing, and sharing stories of how they got with their men, but Liv quieted. With her hands on Kelsie’s shoulders, she searched her face, which burned under the close-up inspection.
“How are you, for real?” Liv asked, her voice chock full of concern.
Kelsie understood exactly what she was being asked. A few days ago, humiliation would have had her hiding from the question, but today, she didn’t let it cut into her cheerful mood. These women cared for her and wanted her to be happy and have a healthy relationship with a man they considered family. “I’m great, Liv. Ty is… different from every other man. I trust him completely.”
Liv beamed. “I get it. He’s yours. And, for the record, I think you are just what that man needs in his life.”
She wasn’t sure about all that, but she’d been floating on cloud nine all afternoon, even with the impending disaster her family had in store for the club.
“HOLD THE FUCKING phone.” Jinx’s shocked outburst echoed the surprise and disbelief on Ty’s brothers’ faces. “VP, you trying to tell us that sweet-as-pie, strong-as-hell Kelsie is related to some of the most notorious shitbags in America?”
“That is what I’m saying.”
“Well, Christ, pretty sure you couldn’t have shocked me more if you told me lovebugs flew out your ass this morning.” Jinx shook his head as though trying to get the information to line up and make sense in his mind. Too bad it wouldn’t work. “What a mind fuck.”
“You said it. My head’s been spinning ever since she told me.” Except for when he was buried inside her. He couldn’t think of a damn thing besides how incredible it felt deep inside her tight pussy. And maybe when he’d get to do it again. Soon, if he had a say.
