“Yes, please," I squeaked, my mama didn’t raise no fool. These two men were stunning, and having their full attention on me was both nerve-wracking and addictive. They had black hair, long enough to grip, striking blue eyes, and muscles that I’m sure were the envy of many.
I wiped the corner of my mouth to make sure I didn’t have any drool running down my chin.
The twin I ran into first smirked, “I’m John, and if you’re done admiring us, I couldn’t think of anything that would make me happier than escorting you to class.”
He grabbed my hand in his, and Jesse took the other. We began ambling down the hall, taking our time, none of us in a hurry. It felt like an electric current was running through all three of us, and the sensation was incredible. I had to be one of the luckiest women on earth at this moment.
Jesse stopped abruptly. “What class are you headed to?”
“Biology.” I grinned, then started laughing. We were all so engrossed in how wonderful it felt being together, we’d forgotten that critical little detail of where we were going.
John looked sheepish, “We should’ve asked before we walked a hundred yards in the wrong direction.”
“I probably should’ve told you, but I was a wee bit distracted by your muscles.” I winked at John.
He looked stunned for a moment, as if he couldn’t believe I’d admitted that, before throwing his head back and roaring with laughter.
Jesse’s grin was so wide it took up his entire face. “If you can make a grump like him laugh like that, there’s no doubt you’re ours.”
Now I was the one stunned. I knew it was true, but usually it was frowned upon to mention it before initiation.
“Come on woman, let’s get that fine ass to class before we get ourselves into trouble.” Jesse waggled his brows.
This man was going to be trouble, of that there was no doubt.
“You know biology is on the other side of the academy, right?” John asked, still smiling.
“Of course I knew that.” I stuck my tongue out at him… I absolutely didn’t know that.
“Sure you did,” Jesse laughed and winked at me.
As we walked, they started sharing a little about themselves, and I did the same. Our conversation evolved into a question-and-answer session, and the two men revealed their distinct personalities through the questions they asked.
“Were you expecting to be Nexus?” John stared at me intently, daring me to deny what I was to them.
“Damn brother, you should start out asking something like: What’s your favorite color?” Jesse smirked. “Ease into it. Have a little finesse.”
“You mean like you did earlier?” John scowled in annoyance.
Jesse sniffed, “I was just stating a fact. You asked a question to which we both already have an answer.”
John rolled his eyes. “Okay, Adelaide, what’s your favorite color?”
“You stole my question! I demand you retract it immediately!” Jesse dropped my hand and squared up with his brother.
“You literally just told me to ask that!” John said, irritation lacing through his words.
“I said for you to ask somethinglikeit. Not that same exact question.” Jesse scowled.
Was he truly pissed off? I was trying really hard to keep the grin off my face. These two were going to keep me on my toes.
“Little brothers are a pain in the ass.” John let out a breath in exasperation and shook his head in disgust.
“Just by a few minutes, asshole.” Jesse poked John in the chest.
Shit, maybe he was serious. If these two decided to go at it for real, I hope shirts get ripped off in the process.
The brothers stared at each other for several very uncomfortable minutes. At least for me… they didn’t seem to be bothered by it.
