He grinned. “I was just stating facts. I mean, we’ve only fucked like what? Five or six times now. I would think more extensive research is needed.”

“Oh, Noah, how poetic. Please whisper more sweet nothings in my ear.”

Noah opened his mouth to argue with me when music blared all around us. Apparently, the Fitzgeralds had an epic outdoor sound system because it felt like the bass was right next to us.

“Oh, my God,” I said before dissolving into laughter at the realization of what the song was.

“I can’t believe that fucker is playingI Just Had Sex,” Noah grunted.

“Your brother?” I snorted.

“Yes,” Noah hissed before untangling himself from me.

“Where are you going?”

“To kick his ass.”

“But you’re naked,” I protested.

“Like I give a fuck about that.” He jumped out of the jacuzzi and then started stalking across the patio. As I watched his retreating form, I couldn’t help appreciating his ass in the twinkling lights.

With my clothes too far away and probably in Liam’s line of sight, I glanced around to see if I could find a towel. Eyeing the cabinet next to the jacuzzi, I opened it to find it stocked with towels. I grabbed two before pulling myself out of the water.

“Get your ass out here now!” Noah bellowed. Apparently, Liam was still inside the house. But I still wasn’t taking any chances with him seeing me naked. I wrapped the towel around me before starting after Noah.

Liam came out on the patio just in time to start singing at the top of his lungs, “I just had sex. And it felt so good.”

“Cut the shit, asshole.”

“My bad. I forgot this is more your song.” After fumbling with his phone, Liam grinned at Noah. The song then changed from Lonely Island over to Aerosmith’sLove in an Elevator.

While I giggled, Noah knocked the phone out of Liam’s hand. “Jackass. You sure as hell better not have been watching us.”

“Please. Fetish sibling porn is not my thing.” Liam’s gaze bounced from Noah’s over to mine, and I pulled the towel tighter against me. His cocky grin was pure Noah’s as he said, “But I will say you make the absolute sexiest noises when you’re fucking that I’ve ever heard.”

My eyes bulged at the same moment Noah lunged at Liam. “Oh shit,” I muttered as he took him down to the ground. They began rolling around on the stone patio floor.

“Don’t you fucking dare say shit like that to Gaby!” Noah bellowed.

Laughing as Noah pummeled his stomach, Liam replied, “I got hard as a fucking rock.”

“You aresonot disrespecting me like that!” I shouted before I reached down and grabbed Liam by the hair. Noah momentarily stopped hitting his brother to eye me with surprise.

“Ow!” Liam muttered.

“Tell me you’re sorry.”

“How did you know I like having my hair pulled?” Liam threw back with a grin.

I saw red, and before I could stop myself, I released his hair to give him my right hook. “Jesus, Gaby,” Noah murmured but a look of pure awe radiated in his eyes.

Liam rubbed his jaw. “You fucking hit me.”

“You disrespected me.”

Liam grinned. “I can see now why Noah is so crazy about you.”

“Because of my sex noises?” I asked with disgust.
