“It’s aproblemto me,” she told me angrily.
“Okay, well, your complaint’s been noted. Now, can we move the fuck on?” I glared at my two cousins. “Fuck, we haveactualproblems to deal with.”
“Maybe we need to calm down?” Quinn suggested quietly. “Have some food?”
“I could eat,” Gray said as he rubbed his stomach. “Actually, I’m ravenous.”
“Me too,” Jett piped up as he stood, pulling Ava with him. “Kitchen?”
“I can eat at home,” Mia said as she rose too.
Ava turned to her even as she looked over at me, her eyes wide.
Fuck . . . my . . . life.
“I’d like to eat here,” I told her in what I hoped was a congenial tone.
“Good for you,” Red snapped.
“Mia,” Ava murmured to her, and I could see Red struggle as her eyes flicked to Quinn’s, and then I saw the fight leave her.
“Sorry,” she mumbled as she pulled her hair over her shoulder.
“We get it,” Quinn said softly. “It’s a lot.”
Red’s angry gaze met mine, and I know I reacted with surprise. “Heis. He’s a lot,” Red agreed. “But you all keep telling me it’s temporary.”
She walked past me, out the door, and headed down the stairs. Ava patted my arm as she passed me, and Quinn dipped her head so as not to meet my eyes as she followed.
Turning to my cousins, I looked at them as they stood there smirking.
“What?” I asked them.
“You are in such deep shit,” Jett said with glee before he hurried after the girls, calling out food requests. I turned to Gray, who was watching me.
Gray shook his head slowly. “When she finds out you knew what was happening, she’ll explode.”
I almost denied it again, but Gray knew me too well, so instead I smiled widely at my cousin. “But man, what a show it will be.” I was laughing as I headed down to the kitchen and heard my cousin’s rueful chuckle as he followed me.
The others were already gathered in the kitchen, with Quinn and Ava both crowding the fridge, and I could hear them discussing the meal plans that Quinn had for us as part of her assignment.
I watched Red watch them both as she pointedly ignored me and Gray coming into the living area.
I caught Jett’s eye as I approached, and he shook his head once in warning to leave the firecracker alone. With an eye roll, I took a seat on one of the stools as I waited to hear what Quinn was serving me for dinner. I was hungry. I wanted pasta, and I knew without a doubt that Gray would want chicken.
Quinn must have been open to telepathic thoughts this evening as she popped her head out of the fridge to look at the three of us, her eyes narrowed as she thought.
“Pesto chicken and spaghetti?” she suggested.
All three of us nodded, but I saw Red bite her lip, and remembering how she did that when I was fucking her caused my dick to stir.
“Um, salad?” Red asked tentatively with a look at Ava, who was already nodding.
“Yup, got you covered, MeeMoo,” Ava replied as she closed the fridge door with her foot, armed with multiple salad items. I watched Red nod appreciatively.
Running my gaze over Red, I took in her figure. The girl had no spare weight. She was slender, with nice tits and a bubble butt that I’d appreciated the times I’d fucked her from behind. Red caught me looking and glared my way, to which I naturally winked in response. I saw her bite the smile back as she turned from me, even though she shook her head. Catching Gray’s eye, I saw his look and felt the old familiar bond we shared.
Sure, he was Jett’s twin, but Gray and I had been close growing up, and when Jett would say that Quinn was his best friend, I knew that Gray was mine.
