I swung my legs over the bed, grabbed my panties from Knox—who was grinning widely—and unlocked the door, only to have it swing wildly open in my face.
Well, the hulk was out of his cage. Kyle stormed over to Knox, who was lying on the floor, grabbed him by the shoulders, and pulled him up. Knox knew all too well what was about to happen, but he looked angry too.
They both squared up to each other, breathing heavily. Andy and I stood there, glancing back and forth between them and each other, as if we were looking for answers.
“Jeez, Kyle, why don’t you climb up on the building and bang on your chest while you’re at it,” I commented, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
“Did you fuck my sister, Knox?”
There it is... the awkwardness has come out to play. Way to go, Kyle! Best brother in the world.
I raised an eyebrow at him, but he was staring dangerously at Knox, who was matching his stare. Battle of the dipshits. Let it begin.
“What makes you think that, Kyle? Jesus, he slept on the floor the entire night! But you wouldn’t know that because you were too busy drinking from the fountain of Andy.
So tell me, you two, you still feeling sexual?” I boldly inquired.
Kyle snapped his head to me while Knox laughed under his breath. “Fuck! You heard us?” he looked to Andy, who was standing there like a deer in headlights. Knox and I nodded.
Kyle looked back to Knox and said, “You better not have touched or looked at my sister like that! I swear to god, man!”
“Dude, you think I would do that? You know I would never do that to her. I’m a gentleman, I would at least take her out on a date first.”
“Yeah, so ch— Wait, what?” Did that just actually come out of his mouth? That’ll never happen. I looked over at him, a smirk plastered on his smug face.
Well, two can play that game, Carter!
“Like I’d ever go on a date with you, Carter! You couldn’t handle this!” I pointed to myself and walked by them, grabbing Andy’s hand on the way out of my bedroom and taking her to the kitchen.
I turned off the stupid sexual song that was blasting through the speakers and looked to see what they were cooking. All I saw was boiling water. Are they attempting to make my scrambled eggs? Hah!
Emerging from my room, the two boys were clad in nothing but their underwear, while Andy and I were comfortably dressed in our pajama tops—my jersey doubling as sleepwear.
I sighed, feeling the weight of sleep still clinging to my eyelids. “I think I’ll head back to bed. Didn’t get enough sleep last night, thanks to those two.” As I turned to retreat to my room, an arm snaked around my waist, halting my progress.
“Where do you think you’re going, baby doll?” Knox’s voice was teasing, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
“Back to bed. I’m not ready to play nice with those two yet.” I tried to wriggle out of his grasp, but he held me firm, pulling me back towards him.
“Oh no, you don’t. You’re not leaving me alone with those two. Come on.” With a swift movement, he scooped me up, slinging me over his shoulder with ease.
“Knox, put me down now! I swear, I’ll vomit on you,” I threatened, my words muffled against his back.
“Vomit away, baby doll—” He punctuated his sentence with a sharp smack to my exposed backside. “You’ve got a great ass, baby doll! Who knew?” His breath tickled my skin, causing a shiver to run down my spine. I growled at him, loud and clear.
“Did you just growl at me?” He sounded genuinely surprised, as if he couldn’t believe I’d growled at him.
“Yes, I did. So put me down, Knox. Now!”
“If I knew I’d get these sexy views and sounds from you, I would’ve thrown you over my shoulder a long time ago, baby doll!”
This was getting weird. I smacked his bare back, hoping he’d get the message and put me down.
“Ooh, kinky,” he teased. I could practically hear the smirk in his voice.
We entered the kitchen, me still draped over his shoulder. Kyle groaned loudly. “Put her down, Knox. I don’t need to see my sister’s half-naked ass in the air!”
Andy just laughed, while Knox lowered me to the ground. I shot him a glare, which he returned with a blown kiss. I caught it, walked over to the sink, and tossed it in, turning on the garbage disposal without breaking eye contact.
