“Would you knock it off?”

“I can’t help it. It’s like a car crash. I just can’t look away.”

“Do you know how fucked up it is that you’re staring at my dick?”

He shrugged. “Not sure I care at the moment.”

“Here,” Liam said, tossing the sheet at me.

“Gee, thanks for the help. It’s not like I’m freezing out here or anything.”

He snorted. “If you think I’m going anywhere near that thing, think again.”

“I wasn’t asking for a handshake. I just thought you might help me to my feet.”

“Why don’t you just use that thing as a cane?” Liam grinned.

I was never going to live this down. It wasn’t as bad at Reed Security. At least there, I had the option to never see any of them again. But here…

“Question,” Jeff frowned. “Blake knows about this, right?”

“No,” I answered, pushing off the ground until I stood precariously, trying my best not to fall over. “We’ve never had sex.”

His eyes bugged out. “Seriously?”

“No, not seriously, you moron!”

“Well, I had to be sure. I mean, what woman would willingly marry that thing?”

“She’s not marrying my cock. She’s marrying me!”

“What is with all the shouting?” Knight said, walking around the corner. His eyes dropped to my crotch and he sighed. “My wife is not going near that thing again.”

“Wait, you’ve seen this?” Jeff asked, pointing to my dick.

“Unfortunately.”

“Tell me, have you ever seen anything this big?”

Knight looked at my brother like he was an idiot, refusing to answer. “Parker, we have shit to discuss.”

“Sure, the blood dripping down my side will have to wait for a better time. While I’m at it, why don’t I just pull this glass out of my back and slap a bandaid on it?”

Knight stared at me blankly. “Sounds like a plan. Come on.”

As he walked away, Liam shot me a questioning look. “He’s not serious, is he?”

“Always,” I muttered.

Liam and Jeff strode away, not bothering to offer any help whatsoever. Fuck, this hurt. I must have blocked out the pain the last time this happened because I sure as hell didn’t remember the agony of having glass embedded in me. It must have been all the sex that clouded my mind.

“Thanks for the help!” I shouted as I carefully wrapped the sheet around my waist, trying not to push any of the glass further in. Every step was more painful than the last, but I couldn’t just lie out here and die of blood loss.

I winced as I stepped on a shard of glass, shaking my foot out as I hissed in pain. “Sure, just leave me here. I’m totally capable of doing this on my own.”

Hobbling along the side of the house, I was nearly around to the front when I heard the first shout.

“Take it over there! Sinner, get your face out of the cookies. It’s time to work.”
