But then Noah, Farrow, Dylan, and Hunter walk across the entryway, as well.
I grit my teeth.
Dylan grabs Quinn in a hug, rocking side to side playfully before releasing her. “Heading into spin class if you want to join us.”
Quinn addresses Farrow. “I thought you couldn’t do cardio.”
“My stamina is what dreams are made of,” he taunts, drifting past her with his stupid fucking swagger. “Tomorrow’s panties are already wet.”
Excuse me?I take a step.
“With sweat,” Farrow assures me, taking an extra step back. “That’s what I meant.”
Yeah, my ass.
He spins around and follows Dylan toward the room, Van der Berg griping at him, “Don’t you ever shut the fuck up?”
“When my mouth is full.”
Noah shakes his head, and I can imagine Farrow’s smirk as they both disappear inside.
Quinn turns to me, her chest rising with a breath. “Well…” She smiles small. “Thank you for the ride.”
She turns toward the stairs, probably heading for the track, and I take a step, but Jared is there.
He approaches her, his eyebrow cocked. “We trust your decisions.” He grins, Madoc and Jax behind him. “But it’s nice to know another adult is on the case.”
He tosses me a look, thinking Quinn is at the house with me, and it doesn’t even occur to him to worry. I rub the back of my neck.
Jax grabs his sister in a headlock. “You thought you were going to have fun this summer, didn’t you?”
Jared and Madoc chuckle as Quinn twists and turns for a second before finally dealing him a blow in the gut.
He growls, releasing her, and everyone laughs again.
She looks at me. “They think you’re a priest.” She pins me with a pointed stare. “Are you?”
My heart rate jacks up, knowing she’s referring to last night, and all that’s keeping her from making me the subject of her brothers’ attention rather than her is her choice of words.
I maintain a level tone. “As far as you’re concerned.”
“Butyou’regoing to have fun this summer?”
My dick twitches, her brothers listening to every word.
They’re going to see it in my face. In my breathing.
I keep my tone steady. “That’s none of your business.”
I’m the adult.
Madoc tugs her close, kissing her head. “Boundaries, kiddo.”
She glares at me, and I smile just enough for her to see.
She can tell them what’s happened between us, but so can I. Her masturbating on my bed, getting her own apartment next to Farrow Kelly, and supplying drinks to her minor nephews and niece.
She yanks her towel off her shoulder and stomps up the stairs to the second level.
