“I’m willing to negotiate and work out the terms of our agreement. What other services do you provide?”
“Hmmm. Well, I’ve been told I do amazing back rubs.”
I furrow my brows and fist my hand at my side.What the hell?
“You’re hired,” he says immediately.
“Like fuck you are. What the hell is going on here? And Miles, get your fucking hands off of her.”
“Yep, he’s got it bad for the first time in his life. Took him a little bit longer than I thought, but I got him there,” he laughs and throws a fifty on the counter.
“Thanks,” she grins and pockets the money.
“I’m going to shower and then head out for a bit. Thanks for dinner, Lyla. It was delicious.”
“No problem. I’m glad you liked it. I made extra muffins for breakfast, so make sure to grab one before you head to rehearsal.”
“God, I love you. Hiring you was the best idea I never had but should have,” he laughs. He walks over to me and puts his hand on my shoulder.
“I’m gonna miss my wingman,” he puts on a fake sad face, “but I like this one, and she can cook a damn good meal. Weneed her in this family, so don’t fuck it up,” he grins and walks to the garage where his apartment stairs are.
“What the hell was that all about?” I ask, walking over to her.
“Miles said he would give me fifty dollars if he could have a little fun with you. I didn’t see the harm in it, so I played along,” she shrugs. “Fifty dollars is fifty dollars. It was easy money.”
“I didn’t like it.” I swallow down my jealousy at the thought of her being interested in my brother.
“It was just a joke. I’m not interested in your brother that way or have any intention of becoming a groupie,” she laughs.
“I still didn’t like it.” I step closer, and she backs up, hitting the counter. “I’ve never been the jealous type before,” I murmur, running my hand through her silky waves. “It’s not a feeling I’m used to having.”
I watch her throat move as she swallows. Her amber eyes burn bright into mine. “You give me a lot of feelings, too, that I’m not used to having,” she whispers. “I actually missed you today, and I wasn’t even apart from you for very long. I’m not used to counting down the minutes until I see someone again.”
“It was exactly five hours and,” I glance at my watch, “thirty-seven minutes to be exact since I last saw you.” A smile creeps up on her face, and my lips quirk. “I missed you, too. Another feeling I’m not used to.” Her eyes get that excited glow to them, and I love that I’m the one who puts it there. “I’m going to kiss you now, little hummingbird,” I say in a low voice.
She nods her head slightly, and I take that as a yes as I dive in and crush my lips to hers. God, she tastes like heaven. Cinnamon hits my taste buds, and I moan at the intoxicating taste of her and spice.
Picking her up, I set her on the counter as I step between her legs. When I press up against her, she moans her approval and wraps those beautiful legs around me. It’s the firsttime we’ve made contact like this, and damn if I don’t ever want it to end. She was fucking made to mold to me.
Her tongue seeks mine quickly, and I love that she’s getting more brave with me as her legs press me tighter against her pussy. My hands dive into her hair as I angle her head back, breaking the kiss. With her throat exposed, my lips explore her neck. My tongue comes out to taste before I suck deeply.
She plunges her fingers into my hair as she grabs fistfuls. Her moan makes my dick swell as I press harder into her. “God, I want you so bad right now. I want to lose myself in you and never come up for air,” I breathe against her neck. “Tell me you feel the same way.”
“I do,” she whispers seconds before my lips find hers again.
A door slamming has us breaking apart. She’s breathing hard against me and makes a move to get down.
My hands firmly grip her waist, keeping her right where I want her. “Stay right there, beautiful. I’m not done with you yet.”
“But your brother will see us together,” she says, panicking.
“Good. He needs to know I’m not sharing you. Serves him right for messing with me.”
Miles walks in seconds later and stops in his tracks. “What do we have here?” He grins at me, and Lyla buries herself into my chest. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything. I just forgot my keys.” He swipes them off the counter and winks at me.
“Just to be clear, you’re a dick for getting me jealous. And to be even clearer, just in case there is any doubt in your mind, I’m not sharing her.” We’ve been known to share the same girl in the past when they’ve been more than willing to bounce between us.
His eyes sparkle with amusement, causing me to cave and bite back a smile. As brothers, we all love to push each other’s buttons. Hell, I was right there with him when Travis andRyder found their girls, having fun getting them riled up. We all know when boundaries have been made, though, and would never think to cross them, which is why I know Miles was messing with me when he was flirting with Lyla.
