But instead of telling her all that, I tell her, “Well, now Bobby and I are both with you.”

She opens her mouth, but I silence her with a kiss. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to let her go, but I also don’t know what to do about it.

It only takes a few minutes to get down the mountain, and Bobby gives us a few minutes to ourselves as he walks to his car to wait on her. Nikki looks at me worriedly. “I hate you have to go back by yourself.”

I shake my head and smile at her. “I’ll be fine. I’ll call you when I get back to the cabin.”

She nods and sniffs her nose. “I love you, Ethan Cannon. I don’t want you to ever doubt that.”

I nod and kiss her. Just like every other time, our kissing gets out of hand, and my cock is hurting because he wants to be inside her.

“Fuck. You better go before I take you right here.”

Her eyes light up as she puts her purse on her shoulder. “Oooh, in the helicopter. That might cure my fear of flying.”

Just the thought has my cock leaking in my pants. “Go on before I refuse to let you leave me.”

Sadness fills her face. but she tries to hide it with her smile. She walks away, and I call after her, “I love you, Nikki Cannon.”

She looks over her shoulder at me and blows me a kiss. “I know you do. I love you too.”

I watch as she gets into my brother’s car, and I have to fight with myself not to run after her. I’ve been a fool for so long, and I know I need to get my act together.

Chapter 12

Nikki

I barely slept last night, and because of that, it’s making it even harder for me to cope today. I’m missing Ethan, and on top of that, I had a flat tire on the way to work this morning. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of Bobby, and he drove me to work with the promise of having my tire fixed and my car delivered to me before the end of the day.

I walk into the breakroom to put my purse away when I realize I left my lunch in my car that is sitting on the highway between Whiskey Run and Jasper. Damn, can this day get any worse?

“So tell me all about it!”

I turn quickly when I hear Lila come in the door behind me. I had called my friend earlier in the week and filled her in on everything. She’s looking at me with a worried gaze, no doubt thinking something’s happened. “Uh oh, what’s going on? Please tell me he did not fuck up again.”

I roll my eyes and try not to take offense because I know she’s just worried about me. “No, he did not fuck up. It was just a rough morning.”

She giggles as she opens the locker next to mine and puts her purse away. “Oooh, rough, huh? Is that how you like it?”

I playfully swat at her. “Har, har, funny.” I clear my throat because I know I might as well tell her. It’s not like I’m going to try and keep it from her because she’ll get it out of me. “So, uh, Ethan didn’t come with me.”

She slams her locker door. “What do you mean he didn’t come with you? Like to work today? Or...”

I close mine and avoid her gaze. “No, I mean, to my house. He’s staying at the cabin.”

She holds her hands up in front of her. “Hold up. He’s staying at the cabin? Like to pack up or are you saying he’s going to live there while you live at home?”

I take a deep breath and walk over to the table to sit down. “I’m not sure. We didn’t talk about it, but I’m going back this weekend to see him.”

Her mouth falls open. “So what? He’s going to be a weekend husband? I mean, I’m not judging you, but are you sure this is what you want? What about when you have kids? Is he just going to miss it all and you all go see him on the weekends?”

I don’t even mention to her that I could already be pregnant. The truth is, I didn’t think it all through. “I’m not sure,” I tell her sadly.

She grabs my hands. “Oh Nikki... Look, it’s going to be okay. Just take it one day at a time. You said he loves you, and I mean he did pay twenty million dollars, so I have to think he was being truthful about that.”

I nod my head. “Yeah, he loves me. I think he’s just trying to figure it all out.”

She opens her mouth to say something, but I shake my head. “Let’s talk about something else. How were you last week? What’s up with you?”
