“Hayden, that is not my hand,” Warrick gasps.
“Well, it’s dark in here, and you’re blocking the light switch. Let me relight the fire,” I counter as I shuffle toward the fireplace.
In the cover of darkness, I wave my hand. The logs light in a roar of flames. I turn back to Warrick who has taken a seat in the middle of the couch. Sporting a tank and shorts, with his arms resting on the back of the couch. I try not to drool at the sight of his muscular arms, just begging to be touched.
What would he do if I ran a finger across those biceps?
“So, what was your ex doing in your room?” Warrick asks as he raises an eyebrow.
“Other than embarrassing himself and annoying me?” I shrug and stroll to the chair next to the couch. “Your guess is as good as mine. It’s been over for years. I'll have to remember to maim my brothers later.”
“Your brothers?”
“Yes, they paid me a visit at the pool earlier. Sweet Pyro did his best to scare them off. It is not an easy feat. Zeus and Poseidon are douches but very overprotective of me.”
Confusion is written on his handsome face, his eyes scrunched together. “Your brothers are named Zeus and Poseidon?”
I cannot contain my laughter. “Yes, our parents were both professors, specializing in Greek Mythology, so they named mybrothers for two of the gods. I would’ve been Hades if I were a man.”
I knew that they sensed something different about me, but I wasn’t ready to admit the truth just yet.
“That does make sense. Any sisters?”
“None, just the three of us. How about you? Tell me more about your life.”
“Well, if you couldn’t tell, my brothers and I aren’t blood related. From an early age, the four of us bounced around in temporary homes. At the age of twelve we reconnected, and we haven't allowed them to split us up since. We did cause trouble, but in school we kept our heads down and all graduated with honors. We’ve all been working since we were sixteen, we all pitched in to make ends meet, and that work ethic from school followed us to our after school jobs and then college. All our hard work and sacrifice brought us here. We will never forget where we came from, but we don’t allow it to be a chip on our shoulder.”
“My job in our family company used to be a sore subject. I resented my brothers for insisting that I get stuck there. After a few years, I have almost come to enjoy it, other than my brothers still bossing me around.”
With that, he laughs. “Yes, I can totally understand. That is one reason that we all manage different areas but are equal in power and positions.”
“You’re lucky to have such a great relationship with your brothers. I envy that. I know my brothers love me, but they also feel as if they can rule over me. That is not something that goes over well.”
“Yes, you do not seem like a woman that would fall in line but rather rebel at each twist and turn.”
Smiling, I change the smirk to a mock shocked face and point to myself. “Who? Me?”
I stand, yawning. “Thanks for the heart to heart. I’m happy to know about you and your brothers, but that bed is calling my name. Even after the horrific sight that was there when I came back to my room. The mattress must be bewitched into being the most comfortable one I have laid my head on.”
Warrick chuckles, not realizing that I’m not joking.Taking a few steps, I turn to see that Warrick is now kicked back on the couch.
“Oh, you can sleep there if you’d like, but the bed is more comfy,” I tease.
He jumps up off that couch as if it was on fire and beats me to the bed.
“Well now, that is my side,” I playfully pout.
“I’ll move over if you can talk me into it.”
My hands gently pull at the straps that hold my gown up, and with a flick, it falls to the floor.
“You’ve talked me into it,” he says as he scoots over, just enough for me to lie beside him.
As I crawl into bed I move closer to his warm body, and he wraps me in his arms and pulls me tight.
“I don’t think I’ll have to worry about Seph tonight,” I whisper in his arms. I snuggle in closer, only to be greeted with his rock hard cock. “Does that mean you’re excited to be here?”
He cups one of my breasts and kisses my neck. “You have no idea.”
