Revealed by You(7)

My mouth fell open. Birthday?

Brett’s cheeks flushed and he looked away. “My birthday isn’t until Sunday, Anna.”

“Why the hell didn’t I know this?” I asked, grabbing his arm and turning him towards me.

He met my stare, his mouth grim.

“Uh…I’ll be mingling. Come find me when you’re done.” She turned on her heel and headed in Kane Stohl’s direction. My roommate and Brett’s bouncer flashed a toothy grin when he saw the British bombshell approaching him.

“Evvie.”

I looked up at Brett. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

He shrugged.

The movement was so casual yet it still sent a flutter through my belly.

“It’s just another day,” he mumbled and nodded at people as they walked by us.

“Brett,” I said, my voice firm.

He raised an eye brow and wrapped an arm around my waist. “I didn’t think you would make a big deal of it.”

I pushed him but his hold only tightened. “Of course it’s a big deal. It’s your birthday.”

“So?” he said, kissing my forehead.

I huffed and pried out of his grip. The fact that Anna knew about his birthday and that I didn’t, pissed me off. “How come she knew about it then and not me?” I winced at the whine in my voice. What the hell was wrong with me?

His eyes searched my face. “Is that what the problem is, Evvie?” he asked, pinching my chin.

I tried shoving my head out of his grip but he held me firm in his hand.

“Are you jealous that she knew it was my birthday and you didn’t?” he asked with a teasing lilt to his voice.

He wouldn’t be teasing me if the situation was reversed. I pulled my head from his grip and glared. “I know we’re both knew at this relationship thing but I’m your girlfriend. I’m supposed to know these things about you.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize my birthday was that important to you,” he said, trying to fight back a smile.

“That’s not the issue and you know it. I’m the one that you’re in love with.” I pointed at myself. “I’m the one that you’re fucking and I hardly know anything about you.”

Throats cleared around us, reminding me that we weren’t alone.

My cheeks heated. “I’m so—”

His eyes narrowed and he grabbed my hand, dragging me behind him.

Once reaching the hallway to his office, I pulled out of his hold. “Brett, stop. I just—”

He spun on me, slamming me up against the wall and placed a hard kiss on my lips. His hands roamed down my body before cupping my ass.

A moan escaped my lips as his kiss deepened.

All too soon he released me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. “I love you. Don’t fucking forget that, Evvie.”

I sighed, snuggling into his chest. “I just realized that I hardly know anything about you.”

He leaned back and cupped my face. “What are you talking about? You know more about me than anyone. I let you in. You, Evvie. No one else. Ever.”

“I know but—”

“But what?”

“Never mind. It’s stupid,” I grumbled.

His eyes warmed. “Nothing you say is stupid. Tell me.”

“I just…” I chewed my bottom lip. “I don’t know your favorite color. I don’t know what movies you like to watch. I don’t even know you’re favorite food.”

The corners of his mouth tugged. “Horror movies and anything I can eat off of you.”

My cheeks burned. “That’s—”

“And you seriously don’t know my favorite color?” He laughed. “Hasn’t it been obvious?”

“I…” Red, you moron. My neck heated. “Okay. That one’s dumb but I still don’t know a lot of other things about you.”

He smiled and placed a soft kiss on my mouth. “Those are things that we’ll find out in time. We don’t need to know them right away, Evvie.”

I huffed. I was never a patient person. Needing to know everything about him now, I had to force myself to be patient and wait. Ugh.

“And we will have two weeks to ourselves to learn more about each other,” he purred against my lips.

Our trip to Mexico couldn’t come quick enough. I realized this when I found Anna standing at the end of the hall, watching us. Her eyes were cold as she sneered my way.

A chill ran down my spine and I held Brett closer.

Her gaze landed on him and she licked her lips.

Here I thought I was the only one that was jealous. Anna was in love with my boyfriend and he had no idea.

Bile rose in my throat. Now I had two women to worry about.

I cupped the back of his neck and brought his mouth down to mine, shoving my tongue between his lips. Needing to claim him, to show Anna that he belonged to me. Mine.
