“Your brother’s in there,” I nod toward the bathroom.“If you’re looking for him.”

Richie’s eyebrows furrow with concern.

“I was.Is he?—”

“He’s fine,” I murmur, shooting an angry glare at Richie, whose eyes look more than a little red.

Fuck me.

These damn kids don’t know shit about responsibility these days.

I slide my phone out, jumping to speed dial as I look Richie in the eye.

“You live together, right?”I ask, not trying to give away my concern.

Richie nods.“Yeah.Wait, how do you know?—”

“I’m calling you both a driver.You will text me when you and your brother are safe at home.”

I tap out my text to my driver, who confirms within seconds that he has another driver lined up and on his way to pick up the kid and his brother, Tweedle Dee.

“I— I don’t even have your number...”he drawls.

I sigh in exasperation.Clearly, whatever he’s smoked has eaten up some brain cells, too.

“Your phone, jackass,” I bite.

Richie scrambles ungracefully for his phone in his pocket as I scowl.

He listens, though I am not surprised.

Most people can’t help but obey me when I use my Dom voice.

Not that I want to dominate Richie Wylde or his brother, but sometimes we use what we have to get the result we need.

And right now, I need Richie to make sure his brother makes it home safely.

Lord knows the trouble Dare would get into otherwise.

Richie barely has the phone out in his hand before I tap his screen with mine, transferring my number to him.

His eyes widen as he nods.“Shit, that’s cool, I didn’t even know you could do that...”

“This isn’t a discussion,Richard.You will do as I say, or your manager will hear about this.,” I threaten him, though it is an empty threat.But Dare, Richie, and the others in their band are still so green and I haven’t exactly been around much, so I can use that to my advantage.

Scare him just a little.

As long as Dare is safe at home, I’ll feel better.

God, what is wrong with me?

Why do I give a shit about the kid?

Richie nods as I slide the phone in my pocket.

“Get your brother, and get the fuck out of my sight,” I bark, spinning on my heel and leaving him to his devices.

I traverse the steps, seeing my sister down on the landing, smirking.
