“Says you!” she yells. “I can’t help that I’m lonely. I’m too good for any man I’ve ever encountered.”

Smirking over at her, I nod my head in agreement. “Damn right, queen.”

We don’t notice the front door opening and closing until Elijah and Leonidas are standing behind the couch we’re sitting on.

“Holy cow!” Amelia screams when we both flinch, spotting the two.

“What are you watching?” Elijah’s mouth drops open as he focuses his attention on the TV.

From the corner of my eye, I see Leonidas’s eyes on my body. I’m mortified. How embarrassing. He just caught me watchingFifty Shades of Grey.

Shuffling in my spot, I fold my hands in front of me and glance down at my lap.

“I’m getting in on this shit,” Elijah says and fist-bumps Leonidas.

They both walk to the other couch across from me and Amelia. I try not to cast my stare toward him; however, I can feel him watching me.

Elijah and Leonidas make jokes the entire time, poking fun at me and Amelia for watching TV porn. I want to throw the pillow that I’m holding against my chest at his head. He’s not even watching the movie. His gaze is set on me, and I’m actually pretending to watch the movie while observing him secretly.

He’s looking at me like he wants to eat me, like he’s a starved man who hasn’t eaten for an eternity and he needs to catch up on all the calories he’s missed out on.

“Well, I need my beauty sleep,” Amelia says once the movie is over and the credits begin to play. She gets up from the couch and gives my cheek a kiss. “Want to hang out tomorrow?”

I nod and smile at her. “I don’t want to do anything else.”Unless it’s with your brother …

“I need to jerk off,” Elijah yells passionately as he leaves the room.

Running after him, she screeches, “Ew, Elijah! I didn’t need to hear that!”

Well then … okay.

I smile as I hear the two bicker until I can’t anymore. I love them. I wish I had siblings to bicker with.

“Maybe you should go help Elijah,” Leonidas teases.

I glare over at him.

He looks so relaxed—sitting across from me with his elbows resting on his knees, his eyebrow raised sexily as he stares at me. But what makes him even sexier is his black basketball shorts. He paired it with a muscle T-shirt. His muscular, toned arms are being shown off. And not to mention, his wavy, short brown hair is tousled sexily.

“So, girl with a car racing kink, I didn’t know you enjoyed watching stuff like that.”

I playfully shrug my shoulders and smirk at him. “I watch this movie every day. Christian is amazing eye candy.”

He leans his head to the side and smirks.

My palms sweat, and butterflies immediately fill my stomach. I push off the couch, needing to get out of here, but I immediately plop down again when he strides over to me with determination written all over his face.

“Amelia texted me. You have something for me?” He speaks lowly.

I nod up at him, and my heartbeat quickens.

“Well, are you going to give it to me? Or are you here to give me something else?”

“Like what?” I breathe out when he bends down and kneels in between my knees.

Leonidas raises an eyebrow and bites his lip. “You tell me.” He pauses. His hands hold on to my knees for stabilization, burning the skin he touches.

He’s making me go crazy. We’re in the middle of his living room, for God’s sake. One minute, he’s mad, and then the next, he’s flirty. He’s going to give me whiplash.
