As much as I hate it, a snort of laughter escapes my lips.
“She was so pink and fluffy.” His eyes are still closed but he’s grinning like an idiot.
“How would that even work?” Xander’s eyebrows pull together in concentration as if he’s really considering it. “Their hands are so small.”
For the first time in days a smile tugs at my lips and when I look at X, an understanding passes between us. He may not like what I’m doing, but at least he’s on my side.
“I guess I’ll never know,” Vaughn grumbles as he rolls back over on his side and immediately starts snoring.
It’s still a long flight until we arrive but at least there’s peace between us. For now.
Chapter 3 Collins
“Where to now, Tarzan?” I sigh into Kade’s neck as his scent and the smell of the ocean fills my lungs. He stills at my words and I lift my head to look at him. “Have I called you that before?” I get excited that I remembered something. I try and search my mind for where I got the nickname from but nothing comes. It came out of my mouth so easily that it felt right.
“Yes, you’ve called me that a few times.” He smiles at me as he descends the stairs of the plane.
The sun is setting but I can’t pull my eyes away from my husband. I smile back at him before resting my head on his shoulder once again. I don’t know why I’m still so sleepy. It’s all I’ve been doing but the lure of sleep keeps trying to take me under. I only woke up when Kade lifted me from the bed and put me in his lap while the plane landed. I think I dozed off again even then.
I watch his brother Xander follow us off the plane. I’m not sure if he likes me much, and when his eyes meet mine I turn my head to bury it into Kade’s neck. I haven't gotten much of a feel for his other brother, Vaughn. He is the most laidback of the bunch at the moment, but I swear all of these men have a tense mood around them.
“Are you hungry?” Kade asks me for the hundredth time and I shake my head.
“Love, you have to eat.” He lets out a long sigh as he slides into a car and the door shuts behind us. “I’ll have something brought to our room and you can try a bite for me,” he encourages. I don’t know what possesses me but I give his neck a small playful bite to tease him. I expect him to laugh but he groans instead. I kiss the spot as heat settles in my belly.
“Sorry,” I lie. I’m not sorry at all. I enjoy being this close to him and for some reason teasing him feels natural. With the way I’ve seen him bark orders at everyone maybe I should be scared to do it, but I’m not.
“I mean real food.” He turns his head to kiss the side of my face. I wiggle in his lap, feeling his hard cock wedged between us, and it makes me pause for a moment. I’m thankful that my face is buried in his neck when he whispers something about me sending him into an early grave.
“I will try and eat.” I sit back to look at my husband, and no matter how many times I gaze at Kade it’s still hard to believe this man is mine.
My chest warms when I look at him so I must love him. I feel safe in his arms but still I remember nothing. The only thing I can go off of is how I feel when I’m near him and I’m trusting that. I also know when I look at X or Vaughn I feel nothing. They’re my brothers-in-law so shouldn't I feel some kind of way about them? No spark comes and it’s almost like I don’t really know either of them at all.
I watch some of the worry leave Kade’s face because I’ve agreed to eat something. “I feel fine,” I try and reassure him as his hand reaches up to cup my face.
“I was so scared you’d never wake up.” His words come out rough and I can see the pain in his eyes. He really does love me. This time I turn my head and kiss his palm.
“If I didn't know any better I’d think this was all a dream,” I admit. “I wake up not remembering anything, but I have a handsome husband who loves me and who has swept me away to a private island he and his family own. I’m guessing we’re rich?” I try to tease.
“We own,” he corrects, but he doesn’t smile. Serious Kade is back. “What’s mine is yours, love.”
I lean toward him, offering my mouth to him, thinking he’s going to kiss me. I somehow know a kiss will lighten his mood. Our eyes lock but he pauses as his eyes flick to my lips. I lick them and my heart starts to race. I’m sure I’ve kissed him a thousand times before but to me this is my first kiss ever. It feels natural to tilt my head back and wait, but still his eyes only linger on my lips.
“Are you going to kiss your wife?” The hand that’s still cupping my face moves so his thumb can trace my bottom lip.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Something flashes in his eyes and my stomach tightens with excitement, going straight to my core. A memory tickles the edge of my mind and I try to grab on to it, but the car door opens and suddenly pulls me back to reality.
“We’re here, sir,” the man holding the door says, and I think I recall Kade calling
