“Not anymore, you don’t,” Liam said to him sternly. “You used to live wild, now you have rules to keep you safe.”
“Rules,” Nico sighed, waving his hand in the air. “Liam loves rules and order.”
“They keep you safe. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
“That’s so sweet,” she whispered.
“Sweet?” Nico spat out. “Liam?”
“I can be sweet,” Liam agreed with her while Nico just stared at him.
“You can?” Nico asked.
Liam ignored him. “It’s hard trying to keep Nico safe sometimes. I could use some help.”
“Really? What sort of help?” she asked.
“Someone to watch him when I’m not around.”
“Hey! I’m not a child,” Nico protested. But there was something in his gaze when he looked at Liam.
“He’s a daredevil, Lottie, I won’t lie. He gave me all the gray hairs I have.”
“You don’t have any gray hairs,” Lottie pointed out.
“But if I did, they’d all be from him.”
She had to smile.
“Don’t listen to him, Lottie. I’m nothing like that. If anyone worries over anyone, it’s me worrying over him.”
“You two are such a sweet old married couple,” she told them.
“Old?” they both said at the same time, looking shocked.
She started giggling.
“She’s a brat,” Nico said to Liam.
“Undoubtedly,” Liam agreed.
“Good thing we love brats,” Nico added.
“Isn’t it.”
She sobered quickly. “I still don’t see how this would work. I can’t . . . I’m not sure I could ever let you touch me. Either of you.”
“You seem fine with us touching you so far,” Liam pointed out.
“That’s not the sort of touch I was meaning.”
“We’d go as fast or as slow as you needed, Lottie,” Nico reassured her. “You’d be in charge.”
“Of that part,” she clarified.
“Of that part,” Liam agreed. “Safety and health are my areas. And, to be frank, you need some help with those.”
She couldn’t deny that. She licked her lips. “What about my brothers? They’re not going to want me to get involved with you both.”
