His eyes were on her, and his stomach twisted as he watched her take another bite. Damn.
“Hey, Rock-Star. What are you staring at my sister for?” Kaden bit out, in a less-than-calm tone.
Quickly realizing his mistake, Luc shook his head and shoved almost half a slice of pizza into his mouth. Still shaking his head, and with his mouth full, he spoke, “Naw. I was trying to figure out what her little earrings were? Are they butterflies? Ants? Demons?”
“Demons?” Kassie shook her head in confusion.
Trying to cover his lie, he continued on. “Well, Halloween isn’t that far away. Maybe they’re demons for Halloween?” He shrugged and shoved the other half of the pizza slice into his mouth.
He was glad he was able to direct all their attention to her earrings, and no one figured out that he’d been staring at Kassie. The last thing he needed was Kaden thinking he was trying to get with his little sister. And that’s how they were all supposed to think of Kassie, as Kaden’s little sister.
And you didn’t mess with a teammate’s little sister. Everybody knew that. It was an unwritten rule.
This was craziness. All he had to do was walk into a bar and snap his fingers and he’d have three girls on his arm. But the fact remained; he was sitting in the middle of an arcade, eating pizza with a bunch of happily married folks.
And there he sat, getting a chubby for Kaden’s sister. I must have a death wish. Luc grabbed for the last slice of pizza at the same time as Kassie. Their hands collided awkwardly. He was probably the only one who noticed that her hand lingered for a half second before she pulled away.
“Go ahead, Kassie. I know how serious you O’Conners are about your pizza. I’d never try to come between you and a slice of pepperoni.” Luc grinned. It was the gentlemanly thing to do. “After we’re done eating, who’s up for some more skee ball?”
The only one to pay him any attention was Kassie. “I’ll play.”
She looked shy and confident all at the same time, if that was even possible. Everyone else went on to other games, but Kassie stuck by Luc.
She smirked. “I’m pretty good at skee ball, ya know.”
Luc spoke close to her ear as they walked to the wall of skee ball machines. “Are you now? I guess we’ll find out.” Not worried about Kaden at the moment, Luc was close enough to Kassie to inhale her tasty scent. She smelled like apple, and it got a happy reaction from his dick.
Kassie put in a token to play her own game of skee ball.
Before long, they were halfway through their game, and Kassie had been mostly silent the whole time. Except for a few looks his way when she thought he wasn’t looking and when she got a ball in the one-hundred hole. She made a pretty big deal out of that and even included a little one-hundred dance. Damn, I could watch her do that all night.
Kaden interrupted Kassie’s toss. “Kassie, I have to get Ali and Kaleb home.” Kaleb had been crying for the last ten minutes, nonstop. “It’s way past this little guy’s bedtime.”
“Thanks for the night out, guys. We had a great time.” Ali smiled as she rocked baby Kaleb.
“I can drive Kassie home when she’s ready. If she wants to stay, that is,” Luc spoke up. “We are in the middle of a skee ball match.”
“Yeah, that’d be great. Thanks, man. Kass, you okay with that? Up to you, sis.” Kaden answered with a smile, looking at Kassie and nodding his head like it was a fantastic idea.
Kassie looked between Kaden and Luc. Her nose was scrunched up as if she was trying to figure something out. “Sure, yeah. I guess that’d be fine. I still have three tosses left.”
“Don’t worry, Kassie. I won’t bite,” Luc teased.
“Just in case, you do have all your shots, right?” Dom asked with a wink. “Just messing with you, Rock-Star. Or am I?”
“I know karate, so I think I’m good.” Kassie laughed and did a little move with her hands that was supposed to be karate but just ended up making his dick twitch, again.
“All right, that’s settled, I think.” Kaden flashed his sister a curious look. “We’ll catch you guys on the flip side. Don’t have too much wild and crazy family fun without us.”
Dom did a chin nod towards the O’Conners. “Sure thing, K-man. How about next time we all meet up at Mario’s?” Mario’s was a local Pittsburgh bar.
“You got it, Z!” Kaden smiled, and then he and Ali waved before making their exit. “See you guys later!”
Luc tossed one of his last three balls and got the fifty hole. Shaking his head, he already knew how this was going to end. He had yet to get a one hundred, and Kassie had three. And she just threw another.
“Here, Kass, take my remaining two turns. You’ve already got me beat.” Luc stood back, facing the skee ball lanes so his friends couldn’t see him watching Kassie throw her last few turns. He certainly liked the way her jeans fit.
Even taking his last few turns, she still won. Kassie sheepishly smiled.
