“I wasn’t checking you out asshole.”

He rolls to his side facing me and laughs. “Sure you weren’t. What can I do for you?”

I shut the door and his brows raise. “Ew no, not that.” I say at his cheesy grin.

“You will always be the one that got away,” he sits up and pats the bed beside him. “Seriously though, what’s up?”

I take a seat beside him, fidgeting with my hands. “I don’t know who I can trust anymore but you seem like a man of your word. I wanted to ask you something but I need your word that you won’t run back to my uncle.”

“You have my word B, unless you plan to kill him and then I need to have his back.”

“I don’t plan to kill him,” I laugh. I couldn’t kill someone even if I wanted to, that’s why I doubt that I killed my own brother, it makes no sense.

“Do you know much about my extended family? I’ve been doing some research and I know I have a cousin named Arden.”

Echo laughs. “That guy is something else. I met him once, he’s a germaphobe and splashes cash around like it’s no ones business. He is your mother’s brother’s kid. Your mum came from honest to god money. Though you guys weren’t close, after your mum died your father pulled away from that side. I don’t think it was intentional, but there were too many memories for him or at least that’s what Milo used to say.”

“What’s with the sudden interest?”

“I found out today that Carter is my step brother…”

Echo laughs and I whack his bare chest. “Don’t laugh at me. I have no memories, remember?”

“Shit, I thought you knew. You and Milo are so different to him, I didn’t think that needed explanation and he’s creepy as fuck.”

“Don’t I know it. He asked me to marry him.”

“He what?” Echo booms sitting up straighter. “I hope you told him to fuck off.”

“He said Shandra wants me to go back to the hospital to help me regain my memories and offered to help me out.”

“If you need someone to marry you, I would do it.” Echo offers.

‘That makes me laugh. “No offence, but I highly doubt anyone would agree to that.”

“True that, but if you get desperate and need my help I’m here. Now tell me that you brought your sexy little friend with you.”

“I hope you’re being good to her, she’s fragile.”

“She drives me crazy B. I know she loves that loser step brother of hers and even that runner and usually I would break a motherfucker’s legs to get what I want but when she is with me none of that matters. Even Mossy has a thing for her. How does your gang work?”

“It’s not a gang Echo. Technically according to google it’s a reverse harem and I don’t know how it works, it just does.”

“Are you banging all of them? I only ask because how do I not kill them for touching her when I get pissed off?”

“I wouldn’t advise you do that, unless you want her to hate you. Talk to her and be honest about how you feel.”

“Hmm, Mossy I could deal with, even that Mac kid, he is decent looking but Chev, I can’t get behind that.”

“You do know you don’t have to be in a relationship with them or fuck them right?”

He sighs with relief. “Thank fuck. I’ve been trying to figure out if I could suck another guy’s cock and come up short each time.”

I laugh my ass off and shake my head. “You must really like her to have even considered that.”

“So true, but I still think gang sounds better.”

“Call it what you want, as long as you’re all happy.”
