Page 95 of Only Ever Yours
Heat floods my cheeks as I bite my lip before admitting the truth. “Because I might just like you calling me that now.” I shrug as a shy smile spreads across my face.
“Peachy? I thought you hated it?”
I shake my head. “No, I was just pissed at you and thought you were using me. Jay, I thought you were fucking around with me and my sister both this entire time.”
His face softens, and he reaches for me, gently cupping my face. “Dammit, Baby, please listen to me. It was only you—only ever you. I never wanted anyone else but you. I was going out of my mind every fucking time you went out with that so-called boyfriend of yours.”
My heart melts at his admission, and I fully believe him… because I feel the same.
“Just so you know, I was never with him—sexually.” I drag a finger down his bare chest. “I was never attracted to him in that way.”
His entire body tenses under the touch of my finger.
“Fuck. Let’s not talk about that shit anymore. Nothing in the past matters, Baby, because you're mine now.” He pulls me in and kisses my forehead.
I giggle at his antics, my heart warming in the process.
Then I pull back, my face turning serious. “Jay, I want you to know, this entire time… I was only ever yours.”
Then his lips crash into mine.
Jaydon
Ellie and I spent the entire day snuggled up in bed. Well, maybe we did a little more than just snuggling. Now we're heading over to my sister's house. Ellie is bursting at the seams to tell her about us, though I don’t think this will come as a huge surprise. I’m pretty sure she's suspected something all along.
When we pull into the driveway, I kill the engine and glance over at Ellie. “Hang tight. I’ll get your door.”
Her face lights up. “How’d I ever get so lucky? Such a gentleman,” she teases with a sparkle in her eyes.
I smirk. “Wait till we get back home—I'll show you just how much of a gentleman I can be.”
I wink, and she bites down on her bottom lip with a huge grin lighting up her face.
After she slides out, I shut the door behind her and pull her into my side, grabbing a handful of her juicy ass. She swats my shoulder, pulling away with a giggle.
“Jaydon, stop it! What if they're looking out the window?”
I chuckle and pull her back in, whether she wants me to or not. “Babe, seriously… we're about to tell them we're together. Who gives a fuck if they see?”
“I know, but this is like… real.”
I reach for her hand and lift it to my lips, kissing her knuckles. “Yeah, Peachy—it's real. Get used to it. You’re stuck with me now.”
The front door swings open.
Ryan stands there, taking in the sight of our interlocked fingers. He doesn’t even greet us. He just stands there, complete shock written all over his face.
“Well, it’s about damn time,” He finally mutters.
I roll my eyes. “Just let us in the fucking house, man.”
Ellie scoffs, letting go of my hand. “Oh, stop it, Ryan. Just let me in—I need to find your wife.” Then she pushes past him in search of Haleigh.
Once she’s out of sight, I step into the foyer. Ryans still wearing a big-ass grin on his face.
I shake my head, already knowing what's coming. “Man, what the hell are you smiling at me like that for?”
We both burst out laughing.
