Page 76 of Fox and Nitro

“Hold your horses, jeez, she ain’t going nowhere,” Rider bitches, but I don’t care.

I hold back my irritation as my gaze finds Jazz’s, through the bodies of my brothers blocking my path. Namely Switch as he stops to quietly speak with Joy and Kit. I’m not too sure what’s going on there, but I see the way she looks at him and after all the shit she’s been through I think she deserves someone like the Doc.

Stepping around them I move to swoop in on Jazz, swinging her into my arms before passing her off to Fox for the same treatment.

“Listen up fuu-um brothers, children, preggos, women and disabled first!” Rider shouts, trying to get to the table first, but getting a chancla from Miss Flora for the trouble.

“I can’t wait until he finds the one meant for him,” Jazz giggles, watching the chaos.

“Me neither, and I hope she gives him hell,” Fox adds.

“I have a bet running, see me later,” Jules says as he walks past.

“A bet huh?” Jazz asks, eyes twinkling, “did anyone bet on us?”

“Nah,” I say, pulling her into me, then reaching over for Fox, so we flank her, Jazz sandwiched between us. “They couldn’t. No one knew we were still missing a part of us. Only we knew that.”

“And then we found you,” Fox finishes.

“But wait, we’ve known each other for a while, moved in the same circles,.” she says, confused. “What took so long to know it was me you needed?” I love how she doesn’t say “wanted”. I’ve wanted her for a long time, but I never knew I needed her too.

“I always knew it was you,” Fox murmurs, looking over her head and catching my gaze, “I just needed Zane to be ready for you. For us.”

“And now he is,” she says, wrapping her arms around my waist, holding me tight.

“I love you,” I whisper, pressing a kiss to Jazz’s crown, then raising my head and capturing Hayden’s lips in a sweet kiss.

“And I love you,” he says back, then he stoops, turning Jazz’s face toward his, dropping a gentle kiss to the corner of her plump lips.

“We’re home,” Jazz whispers, pressing her lips to my chest, over my heart, then the same to Hayden.

“Home.”
