We fall into the bed and he retrieves protection from his nightstand. And then he kisses his way down my body, taking special care with each breast as I arch into him. He’s moving lower, open mouth on my stomach, fingers hooking around my panties. Butterflies explode through my stomach. We’re really doing this.
The door flies open.
“What the fuck!” Ethan fumes. Yells. Stomps toward us.
I cover my breasts and gasp as Ethan rips his brother off me.
“What are you doing?” he growls into Cooper’s flushed face.
“What does it look like?” Cooper is naked and aroused, and right now he sounds as equally angry as his brother. But there’s something else underlining his tone. Something like regret.
I freeze.
“You agreed not to fuck her!” Ethan roars and pushes his brother back against the wall. He doesn’t even seem bothered that Cooper is bare-ass naked, that I’m only in my underwear.
Actually, scratch that––he’s beyond bothered. He’s livid.
“Get out, Ethan!” I yell and the man turns on me with bitterness in his eyes.
“This conversation is none of your business. You get out.”
I sit up, anger springing. “Are you kidding me? How is this not my business? It’s none of your business.”
But Ethan doesn’t care. He’s the ultimate cock-block. He storms over to Cooper’s dresser, practically breaking the drawer that he pulls open, and grabs a random pair of gym shorts. He tosses them at Cooper so hard they’re like a whip when they hit him. “Get dressed,” he demands.
This is the part where Cooper will tell his brother off.
He’s going to kick him out.
He’ll lock the door.
Ethan can stand outside that damn door and listen to us for all I care. I’ll be sure to scream Cooper’s name extra loud. But Cooper doesn’t do any of those things. Slipping into the shorts, he simply walks out the door. Ethan’s the one he cares about here, not me.
I’m dumbstruck.
Disbelieving.
No fucking way.
Ethan moves to follow, but stops and turns to me on his way out. His index finger is pointed and his eyes are two razored slits. “I told you not to mess with my brother or our friends.”
“It’s not up to you.”
I’m shocked right now. How is this even happening? Did Cooper really walk out that door?
“When it comes to this,” he circles his finger at me, as if I’m the “this” he’s referring to. “It is up to me.”
“No, it’s not––”
His voice goes softer, his hand fisting at his forehead. “Yes, Arden, please trust me on this. I’m trying to protect you.”
My mind swirls. “No, you’re trying to control me.”
“In this case, they’re the same thing.”
Except he won’t explain it to me. Nobody will. “Fuck you,” I growl.
He shakes his head regretfully. “I warned you, Arden. You won’t get a second chance.” And then he slams the door and I’m left sitting on the bed, my heart shattered and my pride decimated. I’m ashamed. I’m ashamed and I shouldn’t be but I can’t help it. It eats away at me like a piranha. The blood is already in the water. I’m already a goner.
