Bitch was crazy.
“I don’t do touchy feely shit. I said pull your dress up and bend over. I just want to fuck. I get off then you can tell all your friends you fucked me. We both get what we want.
She yanked the top of her dress up and pouted. “Fine.” Turning around she lifted the back of her dress and bent over, grabbing the counter.
I pulled a condom from my wallet and slid it on before sliding into her and letting the world fade away. Forgetting all my worries and pain.

Cobie
Pulling my rental car into the packed parking lot I found a parking spot. Looking into the mirror on the visor I ran another coat of pink lip gloss over my lips and used my fingers to run through my hair.
Stepping out of the car I could hear music coming from inside the building, but what really had my attention was the gorgeous sun setting on the ocean. Jenna wasn’t kidding when she said Gage’s bar was on the beach. Running my hands down my light purple halter dress I took a deep breath and walked up the steps to the doors going into the bar. I stopped just inside the door when I saw a few people I recognized from Jenna and Larkin’s wedding.
Giving a small wave I went to the table they were all standing around. Trent looked like he was about to eat me alive.
“Hey.” I shouted when I got the table.
Sadie gave me a huge smile then pulled me into a hug. “I didn’t know you were coming or we would have invited you to dinner with us.”
“I just landed and drove straight here. I actually wasn’t planning on coming until early tomorrow morning but Jenna talked me into coming to Gage’s opening.” Looking around I said, “This place is pretty cool. Did he do all this himself?”
Tyler nodded when he said, “Most of it was done but he did the cosmetic stuff like the painting and changed random shit.”
Looking around I saw Jenna and my brother in the opposite corner, all over each other, of course. Those two were ridiculously in love.
“How long you staying in Fairhope?” A gravelly voice whispered into my ear.
Biting down on my lip I turned my head to see Gage standing beside me. He smelled like man, and ocean, and a little spicy. But how he looked….he could make a nun do very naughty things to him. He had on a pair of dark jeans, torn and worn in all the right places and a white button down shirt, the sleeves rolled up just enough so I could see his tattoos peeking out. His usual dark brown messy hair really made his blue eyes stand out. It looked like he hadn’t shaved in a few days and it looked good on him. He looked very much the world famous football star.
Smiling, I yelled over the music, “Until Tuesday night. Decided I needed a little beach relaxation.”
Gage tilted his head to the side and smirked. “Well, if you need someone to relax with, I’m your man.”
Deciding to play along with his little game I quirked one eyebrow and leaned into him whispering, “For some reason I don’t think I would get much relaxation with you.”
Gage winked and brought his beer to his lips. Flicking his tongue out just long enough that I got a glimpse of the bar in it before wrapping his mouth around the bottle and taking a long hull. He was evil.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Larkin and Jenna walking- or more of Jenna dragging my drunk brother- towards us. Gage stepped back when they got close and watched Jenna. I could see the hurt in his eyes.
Jenna flung her arms around me and yelled into my ear, “So glad you came early! Evie will be so excited when she wakes up and sees you. She has missed her Aunt Co.”
Smiling at Jenna I glanced over her shoulder looking for Gage. I saw him being pulled in the opposite direction by a group of guys. Each fighting to be next to him like he was some real life God. He glanced over his shoulder, catching my eye and a small grin formed on his lips as he slid his eyes down my body.
Pulling my attention back to Jenna I said, my voice a little strained, “I’ve missed her too. I can’t believe she’s two already!”
Larkin flung his large arm around my shoulders. “How the hell is my baby sister?”
I could smell the alcohol pouring out of his mouth. His breath was pungent.
Cringing, I placed my hand on his stomach and shoved him. “How much have you drank?”
Jenna shook her head, “The guys got here early and apparently started the party around four this afternoon. The girls and I went to dinner and met them here.”
Larkin tried to focus but his half lidded eyes made it impossible. “I have a lot to celebrate. I knocked Jenna up again. Two times, sis. Two fucking babies. Can you believe that?” Larkin held up his hand and counted out loud, “One…two…three…four. Shit, no not four. We don’t have four kids, right babe?” Larkin shifted his eyes to look at Jenna who smiled and slowly shook her head and held up three fingers. “Yes, right, three. I’m going to be a dad to three kids.”
My mouth dropped open as I stared at Jenna. She was smiling and stifling her laughter.
“You’re pregnant?” I asked in shock.
I watched as Jenna bobbed her head up and down saying, “I am. With twins, your brother really did it good this time.”
Larkin grabbed Jenna around her hips and pulled her into him saying, “No baby, I did you good. It takes total talent and focus to make two babies. Two fucking babies. Not one. Not three. But two.”
Jenna pushed away from Larkin and covered his mouth, “Shut it Mr. or there will be no more getting of anything.”
The whole table was laughing. My brother, the big, bad football man just got put in his place by such a tiny girl. Letting my arms fall from holding him upright, he struggled to grab the table. I wrapped Jenna in a tight hug. “I’m going to be an aunt, again and again. Can I request a niece and a nephew?” I leaned back.
Jenna giggled and wrapped her arms around Larkin’s waist and kissed his chest. “I’ll see what I can do.”
Standing next to Jenna and seeing how happy she was with my brother, even in his inebriated state, made me a little envious. I wanted a love like theirs. Granted it wasn’t all roses and fairytales in the beginning but they found their happiness.
The waitress dressed in a tight black t-shirtthat readWet Spot came to our table with a bucket full of ice and beer. “Here you go guys. If you need anything else just yell. My name’s Leigha.”
Sadie grabbed a beer, handing it to me. “Girl, I remember college. You need a beer.”
Taking it from her I scoffed, “At least you didn’t have a pain in the ass brother making you go to be a damn doctor. Shit is tough.”
Larkin stuck his tongue out at me before Tyler grabbed him and started walking. “Let’s go outside, see if we can catch a shark.”
My brother had no idea what he was being drug off to but he didn’t put up a fight as Tyler pulled him away. “High ho high ho off to sharks we go,” Larkin sang as they walked away.
Sadie and Jenna shook their heads and laughed. “Men,” Jenna said.
Sadie huffed, “You mean boys? Can you imagine what our kids will be like when they are their age? Ugh, don’t even want to think about it.”
Jenna’s eyes got huge. “Oh God. Don’t even go there.”
Both Sadie and Jenna rubbed their bellies. Looking at Sadie confused, before I asked she smiled. “Yep, baby number three is cooking.”
“Wow. Congratulations! Frannie is a few weeks younger than Evie, right? And you were pregnant at the wedding. You and Ty have been busy.”
Sadie giggled. “Yes we have been. Frannie is almost two, Gwen was born on January ninth, and I am due with this baby November seventh.”
