What kind of alternate universe was I living in? One brother sharing his sexual habits, another placing blame unnecessarily on another, and them wanting me to wear my hair to suit their preferences. I’d officially lost it.
“Precisely what I told him, but now he’s insistent on you coming to the gym to learn some basic self-defense. There, that’s better.” He moved back a step, giving me room to breathe.
His scent was so damn masculine, and there was this sexiness to it that drew me in. I was tempted to ask him what he used as he did me, but I refrained. Instead, I replied to his comment.
“Another King making demands and insisting I do something. Wow, I feel like I’ve won the lottery. Whatever did I do to deserve such luck? Tell me, should I expect Nik to have some outlandish demands too?” I asked sarcastically.
“Give the Crow enough time, and I’m sure he will. Now, tell me you’ve thought long and hard”—he smirked as I rolled my eyes at him—“and can’t wait to see the suite we’re staying in.” He ran his hands softly down my back.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea, not to mention I don’t have any clothes.” My resolve once more melted away. I was weakening each second his hands were on me.
Not good, not good at all.
Chapter 27

Truth Or Dare
“I’ve got that taken care of already. It’s going to be gorgeous tomorrow, with no rain. Plus, Sarah’s going to stay. She seems to like Ivan.” I tried my best to convince her.
“Are you using my best friend against me?” She scowled.
“You’ve come this far. It’s getting late, and I’ve already sworn to be on my best behavior. My tongue hasn’t even been inside your sweet mouth once tonight,” I whispered in her ear.
It wasn’t her mouth I wanted to put my tongue inside. But I had to get her to agree to stay first, then it would be on to game night. There, the possibilities were endless.
“Alek,” she moaned, putting her tiny hand on my chest.
“You can change your mind at any point, and I’ll take you home.” Doubling down, I saw the moment where her resistance gradually crumbled under my relentless determination.
“Why do I feel like I’m going to regret this?” She sighed, making my fucking night.
I took her hand and led her back out to the ballroom. We joined Nik, Ivan, Jenna, and Sarah. After saying goodnight to several people, including our parents, we all headed up to our suite.
Her face took in the space; she seemed at a loss for words.What was she thinking? I showed her to the room, making sure she noticed the lock.
“Am I going to need that?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Get changed. We’re having game night. You owe me.” I winked.
“I’m not playing truth or dare.” She propped her hands on her hips.
“It’s that or spin the bottle. You suggested that one, right? Pick.”
“You’re such a perv, Reaper. I’m pretty sure I told you Ididn’twant to play, but I’ll watch you all.”
“Not an option. You’re playing.”
Her eyes fell to the bed. I’d had Marcus lay something out for her. It was a soft pink three-piece pajama set that included shorts, a scoop-necked tank, and a cardigan.
“At least it isn’t lingerie and matches my panties,” she said with a heavy sigh.
“Does it, now? Twenty minutes. Be in the front room, or I’ll come looking for you. And you will play, so choose wisely. You can text me your answer.” I kissed her on the forehead and made my way down the hall.
Nik was waiting in my room with a shit-eating grin on his face. “You’ve been keeping that little jewel all to yourself, bastard. Mother had a hundred questions for me. You owe me big time.”
“You get everything set up?” I asked, grinning while ignoring his comments.
