SWNOVELS Chapter Billionaire My Husband 209
"Ready, babe?" I asked, sipping my coffee fully aware that this was the last thing Luke wanted to do.
He grumbled and walked over, taking my coffee cup out of my hand to have a sip before leaning in to kiss me. "For the children right?" He mumbled and I smiled. "Yeah. Exactly. Go show off your abs so they can get some money." I

said, leaning in for one more kiss. "it's a week on an island with as much food as you want. I'm a little jealous, to be honest."
There was a knock on the door, and then it flung open-Josh walking in. "Hey, man. Sorry. I was just about to leave for that..." Josh smiled like he was walking on air. Yeah.
The shoot. Guess who's joining!" He grinned ear to ear before walking over to grab my coffee. I outed, "Can you guys just stop drinking my coffee?"
Nobody cared about my sudden lack of caffeine it seemed so I gave up and poured another cup. "Who's dick did you suck to get that right?" Luke asked and I slapped his shoulder. He smiled sheepishly at me and shrugged.
"it's Josh. I was joking babe." He said and kissed my cheek. "Does it matter? I transferred last season already and I have infinitely better looking beach hair than you do. Also abs... you've been missing out on mourning sessions man." Josh winked and my cheeks warmed as Luke gave me a knowing look. "I still got my cardio in man." He huffed and Josh slammed his palms over his ears. "C'mon! I didn't need that. I will never need that!"
Laura burst through the door, arms loaded with snacks.
"Guess what, guys!" she called out, her laughter bubbling with enthusiasm. "We have our own little sleepover while you boys are off gallivanting on that island for-"
"-for what, exactly?" she looked over at Luke and Josh, who were dumping the snacks on the counter. I was truly happy she was back from Paris for good. Vann
Luke interrupted, arching an eyebrow, looking "We're not heading there to fucking 'gallivant.""
"Whatever you say, Mr. Serious." Laura rolled her eyes, tossing a box of

cookies onto the counter. She continued, "While you two are prancing around in thongs for a good cause!" Josh's eyes widened. He froze mid-sip of MY coffee. Luke's face turned into an expression of sheer horror.
"Wait, what?" Josh spluttered, nearly choking on the drink. "Thongs? Nobody said anything about thongs, man!"
"I'm fucking out," Luke groaned, dramatically throwing his hands up and stepping back as if he could physically retreat.
Laura burst into laughter. "Settle down, boys! No thongs... just coconuts!" She winked, clearly enjoying the shock she had just delivered.
I wanted to pick up Josh and Luke's jaws from the floor but joined Laura, who doubled over in laughter and howled like a hyena.
"What the hell," Luke rolled his eyes but couldn't help the corner of his mouth creeping up into a begrudging smile. "You've all lost your minds." "You and me, flexing with coconuts! You know they're just going to Photoshop that stuff anyway!" Josh teased and I watched Luke's jaw tick.
"You might need some Photoshop to help fill up that thong but I don't, Josh," Luke said with a mock seriousness that made me chuckle.
"I can see it now," Laura chimed in, still grinning as she tossed some popcorn into her mouth. "It's the calendar shoot of the century: Josh and Luke, the coconut kings-saving children one flex at a time!" "Hilarious," Luke said dryly, narrowing his eyes in Josh's direction.
"Don't worry! It's coconuts, not thongs," Josh said, raising his hands in mock surrender, another laugh bubbling up from within him. "Trust me, I'll cover all the right bits!"

The private jet was a sleek, opulent tube of reflective silver, but inside, it felt more like a sardine can designed for linebackers. I shuffled
awkwardly along the narrow aisle, shoulders brushing against plush leather seats as I tried to find my place.
