She's Still The One: A Brother's Best Friend, Rockstar Romance Kaci Rose (essential reading txt) 📖

the navigation and take a deep breath. The car smells like her, and it's comforting but also makes me hard at the same time. I head towards the highway, ignoring my cock that is trying to find her, find our home. Because above all else, that is what Austin is for me. She's my home. 

On the drive, I send up a silent prayer that we are okay, and this doesn't break us. She sounded happy on the phone, and like things are going good, and I just hope it stays that way.

I decide it's time to give her all of me, and the last piece I have been holding back. If she still wants me, I plan to make love to her and show her how much she means to me. I want to feel her around me, when she comes and hold her in my arms, when we’re one. I want that connection, a connection I never wanted with anyone else.

The further I head out of Nashville, the better I start to feel. This isn't how I wanted Landon to find out, but I'm glad he knows. Hopefully, he will get his thoughts together over the next few days, and we can come back and talk like adults, like family.

I have this overwhelming need to make sure things are okay for Austin's sake. I will do whatever it takes to make that happen, except let her go.

No more hiding, and no more sneaking around. I won't hold back anymore.

Chapter 29

Austin

This cabin is perfect. Right at the base of a mountain; it’s close to hiking trails, a lake, and the cute, small, little town. This is the perfect place for Dallas and me to get back into our bubble and figure out our next steps together.

Because we’re moving forward together; I made that choice at the overlook. I'm going to fight to be that happy couple. That starts here.

The billboard for Mountain View Cabin rentals was just the sign I needed. I stopped in and asked for the one with the best view, and I have to admit this cabin is amazing. I'm not sure how someone else hasn't rented it.

I also stopped at the grocery store in town and got us food, and a few other things to last us over the next few days. Everyone here is so friendly, and it's just the kind of place I would move to, if I was looking to relocate.

I check on our late lunch or early dinner, depending on how you look at it, and see that Dallas should be here any minute. I light a few candles and set the table, as he knocks on the door.

Butterflies take flight in my stomach. I know I shouldn't have left like I did, and while he sounded fine on the phone, he has every right to be mad at me, and I wouldn't blame him if he is.

I open the door to see my handsome man, but that light and carefree look he had this morning is gone. I make myself a promise to get it back, before we head home.

I stand aside and let him in, as he sets our bags down and takes a look around.

"What’s this?" He asks, as his eyes run over the large open concept cabin. The front door opens right into the living room with a massive fireplace. The dining room is to the side with the kitchen just beyond that. It all leads to the massive picture windows with the breathtaking mountain views you can see from just about any place in the cabin.

"I rented this cabin for us for the next five days. You and me. We figure out what our next steps are, and then we go back and talk to Landon, together. We can go public to everyone or not at all. I'm done hiding us."

He answers without hesitation, "We go public. I want all of you, and I want to tell everyone you’re mine."

"My brother?" I ask. I almost don't want to know what happened after I left.

"We talked, and I made it clear I’ll pick you and asked him not to make me choose. He hasn't, and I don't think he will."

A sudden thrill goes through me that he really did mean what he said this morning. A part of me still can't believe we’re doing this. He’s after all the unattainable guy I had a crush on in high school. The one thousands of girls have pinned to their walls, and yet, he wants me.

"Then, you have to give me all of you. No more holding back for either of us." I tell him.

"I'm scared." He whispers, as he reaches for me.

"I am too, but we’re in this together." I wrap my arms around his waist, soaking in his warmth. This is what I needed to just reconnect.

We stand there locked in each other’s arms for a few minutes, before I pull back and place a hand over his chest. Even with his shirt on, I can feel his heat, as if we are skin to skin. The sparks between us are undeniable, but it still takes my breath away, leaving me unable to speak.

"I have something for you." He says, his voice gruff. He pulls a piece of paper from his pocket and hands it to me.

"I got it done the week I asked you to wait for me on tour. I just didn't know when to give it to you, but now seems like the right time.”

It takes me a minute to understand what I’m looking at. It's a clean bill of health from his doctor. He's STD free.

When I look up at him, there’s a light blush on his face, and he looks a little shy. I can't remember the last time I've seen him blush. He can be vulnerable and open around me, yes, this blush isn't something I've seen, since he was that shy teenage boy, who I had the
