Just cuddling with Phoenix was everything and we chatted about silly things until his words began to slur and his breathing evened out.

I made a silent promise that I wouldn’t let anyone hurt this man in my arms ever again. I’d do everything in my power to protect him, and if Adonis thought he’d lay a single finger on Phoenix’s head, I’d show him what broken really looked like.

What's Left of Me (Saint Brothers #4)



Daniel
Daniel is 93% done with The Art of Breathing (Bear, Otter and the Kid #3)
The door opens. Bear. One moment we’re watching each other, and the next we’re crashing into each other and my brother hugs me as hard as he can. Despite everything that happened to us, Bear and I survived. We might not be perfect. Far from it, in fact. We think too much, worry too much. We never stop talking. But that’s okay. We’re alive and there’s the possibility of a future, however uncertain it might be.

“Do you think it’s possible for two people to be meant for each other? That even through all the shit and all the drama, you’re meant to be?”

“I do. Some things are just inevitable.”

“What?”

Stacey reaches out and takes my hand in hers. “Inevitable, Tyson. No matter how hard you fight. No matter what happens between you, no matter the distance that separates you, sometimes, these things are inevitable.”

“You'd have done much better to join the family garage. What's the point of naming the business Sutton and Sons if—”

“My sons don’t want to fucking join. I know, I know. You need new material.”

We’d only been together for a few minutes, and I was contemplating watching a couple of episodes of Forensic Files with a pad and a pen to take notes. How much planning makes a crime premeditated? Asking for a friend.

“You got some on your eyebrow,” he says, amused.

“I was very pent up.”

“That what you call it?”

“Well, I might also be a shooter.”

“Good to know.”

“We sound weird.”

“What do you mean?”

“Like we’re giddy.”

“You sound oddly pained in addition to weirdly giddy.”

“And you sound disgustingly smug.”

“A little smug,” he admits.

“Because you took my flower?”

He groans and shoves me away. “Moment over.”

Careful what you wish for ...

“Ready?”

I nod. He rises above me, and I wince as he slides from me. Holy shit, I am going to be fucking sore tomorrow. And I’m also probably going to sound like wind blowing over a bottle when I walk. I was initially thrilled (and a bit awed) to find Dom completely size proportionate, but now I think the circus freak needs to keep that thing far away from me.

He pushes forward and the stars that come then explode and I chant his name, I scream his name. He snaps his hips again and again, and I’m riding on waves above the pain, in the ocean, and there are earthquakes, but they’re so, so good, and when he sighs my name in my ear, I explode, and I breathe in. I breathe out. I breathe for the years we’ve lost, and the future we might have. Most of all, I just breathe.

“Dom?”

“Yeah?”

“This is real? You want me?”

“Always."

I’m in his lap before I even know I’m moving. My mouth is on his, wet and warm. There are tongues and teeth and our noses bump awkwardly. I think of all the time lost, the past four years, but then he grinds up against me the moment I press down and all rational thought is gone. This isn’t about the past. It’s not even about the future. It’s about now.

He takes my hand. He brings it up to his lips.
I’m shaking because it’s him and because I never thought we’d be.
I’m shaking because I’m scared.
I’m shaking because I can’t think straight. It’s all stars.
But I can breathe. Somehow, I can breathe.
It takes days, weeks, months, years to reach his house, even though it’s only a few miles away.
He doesn’t let me go.
It’s his promise without needing words.

OMG ...

“You can’t forget me," I plead. "You can be mad, but please don’t forget me. Because I can never forget you. I’ll never be able to. I don’t ever want to. I only want it to be with you. Please don’t forget me. I promise I won’t ever do it again. I’m sorry. Please just say you’ll never forget me.”

“I’ve told you, Ty," He holds me tight. "It might take time. It might be hard. But ... we’re inevitable.”

“It’s unfair how hot you are. It’s actually unfair how hot your whole family is. The twins, Xave, you. I mean, you’re the hottest, but all of you look like models.” I huff out a weird laugh. “Models who murder, but still models.”

“We don’t just murder,” he says, that smirky grin still on his lips. “We also extort, torture, maim, interrogate, and sabotage."

“No one can say you’re not well rounded.”

“Thanks for coming to pick me up,” I said around a yawn.
“No problem.” Cameron slammed on the brakes as another car cut him off, and suddenly I felt a little more awake.

“So… how much is the Arrive Alive Fee in this Uber?”

The corner of his mouth kicked up as we watched the car cut off another two lanes of airport traffic. “Shut up, JJ.”

“I asked you not to call me that, mostly because I’m not dy-no-mite.”

That great Harmon dialogue-writing!

There was a slight dusting of dog hair on the adjacent couch, which probably belonged to the big-ass dog standing in front of me. “Hey, Cam,” I called out.

“Yeah?”

“Could you maybe stop doing whatever the hell you’re doing for a few seconds and come save my life?”

“I see you’ve met Kona.”

“Yeah, we met. He asked me if I knew where you kept the all-purpose seasoning.”

He tipped his head back and my lips fell down intuitively to meet his. He smiled into my mouth. I felt his hands sifting into my hair, wrapping whole strands around his knuckles. Maybe kissing Sky was my natural, default state, and the reason I'd been such a disagreeable person all my life was because I hadn't been kissing him all my life. You take a starfish out of the ocean, you watch how irritable it gets.

I pull him closer and tuck him up against me. He goes boneless in my arms, and I hold him tight as he cries out whatever is haunting him. Neither of us says a word, not even when he eventually stops crying and falls silent. I wait until he’s asleep, then close my eyes. I didn’t have cuddling my sober stepbrother to sleep on my bingo sheet for today, but whatever. Hopefully this works and I can get some sleep.

“It’s okay.” I rub circles on his back and press a soft kiss against his cheek. “You’re okay.”

I have no fucking clue where this tender side is coming from, but it’s hard to be mean to someone who’s literally clinging to you and begging you to save them from their nightmares. He relaxes and grows heavier on me.

“Please don’t let go,” he whispers. “Don’t leave me.”

“I won’t.”

“Promise?”

“Yeah. I promise.”

Sky broke away from my lips. I locked my arms tight around his back. I couldn't bear to let him go. I couldn't take my eyes off his lips, which looked like magic to me. It struck me as insane that the simple act of touching somebody's mouth with your own could be as all-encompassing as this was. It struck me as even more insane that this was a form of communication all its own, more effective even than words.
