After dumping his stuff at the end of my bed, he lies back on the lumpy mattress and sighs.
I lean against the wall, my arms crossed over my chest, and get straight to it. “Why are you here?”
My brother lifts his head and glares at me. “Can’t a guy catch a few Zs before getting grilled? I just drove twelve hours straight, I’m fucking tired, Ty. We can talk when I wake up.”
Heaving a sigh, I push off the wall and stride into the bathroom, calling over my shoulder, “Fine, but we are talking about this.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he calls back.
It’s almost five, and for the second time today, I’m pacing outside the motel. This time, I’m waiting for the only girl who ever mattered to me.
“Dude, you’re going to burn a hole in the sidewalk. Take a chill pill and sit down,” Leo says from his position on the grass.
I look down at him and shake my head. “You still haven’t told me why you’re here.”
He shrugs. “You’ve got more important things to worry about right now.” Then he gestures to the light blue VW Bug pulling up next to his GTO in the parking lot.
Margo steps out and turns to face me, taking my breath away with her shy smile.
Holy. Shit.
She’s wearing a pair of four-inch red heels, tight black jeans that hug her ample ass like a second skin, and a blood-red top that practically smothers her breasts then flows gently to her hips.
“Fuuuck me.” Leo whistles behind me.
I shoot him a death glare. “Keep your eyes to yourself, brother,” I grit out as a wave of possessiveness washes over me. “She’s mine.”
Margo stands by her car, casting a nervous glance toward Leo and me, then she smooths her hands down her sides and takes a step toward us.
I lift one foot and place it in front of the other only to land on a pebble that throws me off balance. My ankle twists beneath me and I go down like Monica Lewinsky on Bill Clinton.
An embarrassing shriek rips from my throat as I land on my knees and palms in the parking lot in front of not only Tyler but his brother Leo too.
I hang my head, using my long hair to shield my crimson face. The one time I really wanted to look awesome and my clumsy ass ruins it.
“Margo, baby, are you okay?” Tyler asks as he and Leo rush to help me up.
Good God, just kill me now.
My rapid pulse roars in my ears as heat climbs my body, searing my cheeks. Sweat moistens my palms; I'm so freaking embarrassed, I wish the ground would open up and swallow me whole..
Big hands cup my cheeks when I’m back on my feet, and I peek one eye open to see Tyler’s concerned gaze. “I’m fine,” I mutter. “Humiliated, but fine.”
“Margs,” Leo says, pulling me away from his brother’s hold and tugging me into his arms for a bear hug.
I forget all about pretending to not know them and wrap my arms around his huge frame. “Hey, Leo,” I mumble into his neck as tears threaten to fall.
“I missed you, girl,” he says, pressing his cheek to the top of my head. “But not as much as the grumpy bastard glaring at me like he’s about to rip my arms out of their sockets,” he mumbles before stepping away from me.
I glance over my shoulder, and sure enough, Tyler’s expression screams murder.
Chapter Five
I see red as Leo wraps his arms around my girl.
She’s fucking mine and I haven’t even gotten to touch her like that yet. When he finally releases her, she steps back and glances at me over her shoulder. I narrow my gaze on her as I stalk forward.
Her hands shoot out in front of her body and her eyes widen. “Tyler,” she says in what I’m assuming is supposed to be a placating manner.
