Colt hissed because that would be a rough way to go.
I nodded once. “Understood.”
Lainey sighed. “This whole chest beating thing is fine and all, but she doesn’t seem to know that she’s yours,” she said, pointing into the house.
I frowned. “I thought I made it clear last night.”
She crossed her arms over her chest. “Trust me, shedoesn’t know it. We were getting ready to go out. To pick up men.”
“What the hell, Lainey?” Colt finally asked.
“Pick up men?” I added. “What the fuck?”
Lainey didn’t cower under the full force of her two brothers. She had five more overprotective ones so she was used to us.
“That’s fucking dangerous,” Colt snapped.
My gaze narrowed, imagining them in The Roadside and having assholes think they could do shit with them. I didn’t want to think of my little sister having sex… ever, but if she was going to find a guy, it wasn’t on the prowl.
“Says the guy who saw a woman across a rodeo and had a quickie in a closet,” Lainey countered, giving Colt a look.
She had him there, but I didn’t give a shit about double standards if it came to Lainey’s and Katie’s safety.
“No way either of you should betrollingfor guys,” I told her.
“Trolling?” Lainey’s hands went to her hips and her eyes narrowed. “What wereyoudoing last night at The Roadside?”
“Out with Cody and Ace,” I replied.
“So you weren’t looking at the ladies?”
“I was looking atonelady and will be from now on.”
“You and Katie out alone and–”
Lainey cut Colt off. “Will you two stop being Neanderthals? I was just pushing your buttons. Sheesh. We were gonna go to the River House. To eat. Food. Take Ellie and Molly. If therewereguys there–”
Colt held his hand up in front of her face. “Don’t say anything else.”
“I’m twenty-seven. You want to know if I’m a virgin? Should we get this out of the way now?”
“NO!” Colt shouted.
“Fuck, no,” I said at the same time.
She smirked. “Has it ever occurred to you that Katie and I might go outtrolling,but it doesn’t mean we take a guy home. Or to the parking lot.”
I saw red and Colt growled.
Lainey grinned. “Two times in a row. You guys are too easy.” She sighed. “I’m single because I’m discriminate, you dorks. I have eight brothers to show me what kind of guy I deserve. I want something real, not a one night stand. I’d rather open my bedside drawer and pull out my–”
Colt put his hand right over her mouth this time, muffling her words. The last thing either of us wanted to know was about any kind of toy she used to get herself off.
Lainey and Colt stared at each other for a few seconds while I winced.
“You done?” Colt asked her.
She nodded and he lowered his hand.
