“Yeah. Let’s do my least favorite thing ever on vacation.” The annoyance is apparent in my tone, and I flop back in my chair.
“Well, it’smyvacation, too, and I wanna go shopping. Just come with me.Please.Otherwise, I’ll have to make Max go, and he’s less fun than you, if you can believe that.”
“It’s the only thing you don’t enjoy with me.” He winks.
“True.” Kari sighs dreamily. “I’d love to partake in the more fun things with you ... After shopping.”
Kari looks at me intently. I roll my eyes. I don’t want to go with her now or later.
“Jada,” Max begs, “domea favor and go with her. I love her, but shopping with her makes me want to kill her.”
“See? It’ll makeeveryonehappy.”
“Everyone butme!”
“It won’t kill you,” Kari says, crossing her arms over her chest. “It’s sister bonding. Just come.Please.”
“All right. But not all day, Kari. Just for a little while.”
Cane leans across the space dividing us and kisses me. “Buy yourself something, okay?”
I groan.
“I mean it. Make sure she buys herself some stuff, Kari.”
“You mean, make sure she spends your money? Got it.”
“I knew you were good for something.” Cane grins.
Max pulls Kari to his side and kisses her forehead. “She’s good for a lot of things.”
“Keep it up, Quinn,” Kari purrs. She runs her hands over the tattoos dotting Max’s body. “Or you’ll not be having a sandwich for lunch.”
“Sandwiches taste better after sex anyway.”
“Let’s go on up to the room,” Kari croons. “I’ll make sure that sandwich tastesfantastic ...a couple of hours from now.”
“No,” Cane says, standing. “You two can fuck like rabbits later. We’re going to lunch.”
“I’ve lost my appetite,” Max says, nipping at Kari’s bottom lip.
“Too bad. I’mstarving.”
“I’m sure you fuckin’ are,” Max groans.
“I am,” Cane says, glaring at him. “And you’re fuckin’ hungry too. Remember, asshole?”
Max shakes his head and pulls his black Saints cap over his head. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let’s go eat.”
“That’s what I thought,” Cane says.
“This is gonna be the longest damn weekend of my life,” Max mutters.
I stand and put on my cover-up. I’m not looking forward to shopping, but I can tell Cane and Max have plans, and I don’t want to get in the way. “Let’s get this over with,” I say to my sister.
Kari kisses Max before grabbing my bag off the ground. “Way to start this with enthusiasm, Jada. Love it.”
“I try.”
