“I love you.” He picked up the pace, his hands on her hips, cock driving home. “I love you. I’ll say it until you believe it and if you decide to leave, well, I can still show up on your doorstep. I won’t ever give up on us. I thought I was wrong for you, but I’m not. No one in the world is going to love you the way I do.”

Somewhere in the background she heard a phone ring, but she didn’t care. The rest of the world could go to hell. All that mattered was the warmth he poured into her as he thrust up and pleasure coursed through her. It invaded her veins and took over her every thought until there was nothing in the world that mattered more than him.

He shuddered over her, holding on tight as he gave in. She loved how open he was when he let go and gave her everything he had.

He fell back into the chair behind him, but not before grasping her hand and taking her with him. They landed in a heap, the chair groaning under their combined weight, but like everything at Guidry’s, that sucker held solid. This place and family were weird and crazy and strong.

She could be a part of this. She could belong here. There was still a little time to think. They were normal again and she could use these last few days to make her decision.

“You didn’t even get your clothes off.” She wanted to touch him, trace his scars and kiss his warm skin.

“Too busy. Needed you too much. Lisa,” he began.

What should she say to him? It was too soon. The ache was still there in her heart, but she also knew they couldn’t be done.

The blare of the house phone broke through their intimate moment and Remy groaned.

“It’s probably my brother. He won’t stop if he needs something. My cell is on the charger in my office, but he’ll call any number he thinks I’ll answer.” He kissed the top of her head. “I’ll go unplug the fucker. If he’s caught at some chick’s house and needs a ride, he can Uber.”

She didn’t want to lose the moment, but she scrambled off Remy’s lap, reaching for her undies. If she was going to seriously think about becoming a member of this family, she had to take care of even the most obnoxious Guidry. “Answer it. I can’t stand the thought of him desperately trying to get in touch with you. You can’t leave him. Do you even get Uber out here?”
