I almost choked on my drink. “Come again?”
Zane’s jaw dropped. “Uh, what now?”
“Yep. Apparently, the girl’s got a dating issue because she’s a virgin. So, they’ve requested ‘my services.’”
“You’re kidding.” Zane chuckled.
I stumbled over my words. “What, uh--what--did you… they… who asked again?”
Clint looked over at me. “You good? You seemed more shocked than I am.”
I didn’t know what to say. “Kelly just doesn’t seem like that kind of girl, you know?”
“She doesn’t strike you as a virgin? Because I practically see it blaring over her head in neon colors,” Zane scoffed.
I waved my hand at him. “No, no, no. Not that. I mean, pointlessly eliciting sex. This has Roxy written all over it. Karina, too.”
Zane narrowed his eyes. “Karina’s a bit classier than that.”
“That’s what you think,” Clint murmured.
Zane’s lips parted in shock. “She’s in on it, too?”
“They all are.”
“And what did you say?” I asked.
“I told her I’d grab her at the end of the night and see how she felt about things by then. You know, away from the pressure of the girls. Poor thing looked like she was about to melt into a puddle on the floor.”
Zane snickered. “Those girls can get themselves into anything, can’t they?”
I didn’t think it was funny. Not one fucking bit. In fact, I was irritated as hell at the idea. Kelly, sleeping with my fucking brother? He’d tear her to shreds. I knew the stories. I heard the kind of shit he was up to whenever he was a teenager. He’d chew her up and spit her back out without a second thought. I couldn't let my brother sleep with her. I couldn't let him hurt her.
Especially since I was the one who wanted to experience that with Kelly
“I don’t think this is a good idea,” I said.
Zane rubbed the back of his neck. “I figured you’d feel that way.”
“What the hell does that mean?”
Clint chuckled. “Simmer down, girls.”
I shot him a look. “You keep your sense of humor out of this.”
Clint’s eyes grew hard. “You watch that mouth of yours.”
Zane polished off his drink. “Look, if this is something Kelly wants, you really can’t stop her. She’s her own woman, you know. And this is really none of your business. He had your chance in college, and you never got it done.”
I ignored him. “Clint, just leave the poor girl alone. She doesn't know what she wants. And besides Zane’s right, she’s been crushing on me for years. It’s going to make things very, very awkward for her.”
Clint nodded. “And if she feels that way in a couple of hours, I’m sure she’ll let me know.”
“Mmm, I don’t think she will. Kelly isn’t that kind of girl. She’s a people pleaser. She’ll do whatever it takes to make someone happy.”
Clint shrugged. “Then, like Zane said, it’s none of your business in the first place.”
I gripped my glass so hard I thought it was going to shatter.
