“Just admit it.” Knox jabs Ronan’s shoulder. “We’re stronger than you.”
“Someone should take away your delusional pills becaus
e last I checked, we’re winning.”
“We’ll turn the game.”
“And we’ll score one more and win.”
“It’s definitely your weed speaking, Astor.”
“Mais non. It’s your delusional pills.” Ronan’s gaze meets mine. “Isn’t that right, Kimmy?”
Xander motions at him with a dismissive finger. “Finish your game and don’t address her until the end of your life.”
I smile to myself. Someone is jealous. No idea why that makes me so giddy.
“Are you sure you won’t change your mind and marry me?” Ronan counts on his fingers. “I have a title, I’m rich, beautiful and don’t care about wars. I’m like the Switzerland of this world.”
Teal scoffs and says in a mocking tone, “That must be why you’re called Death.”
Cole’s lips lift in a smirk.
“What was that, ma belle?” Ronan grins with no humour.
“She’s calling you Death.” Cole is still leaning on his hand as he stares between Teal and Ronan. “Maybe you should prove it.”
“Yes, prove it,” Aiden speaks for the first time tonight, finally lifting his head from Elsa’s ear.
“We can think of ways.” Cole proposes.
“Or we can make them.” Aiden raises an eyebrow.
“I might have a suggestion.”
“Or two.”
“We can start right now.”
“Yes, let’s make this night a bit more fun.” The smirk on Aiden’s face shines with pure sadism.
Cole, however, remains serene. Unaffected even.
The most boggling thing is that during that back and forth, Aiden and Cole never looked at each other or exchanged glances. They were plotting mayhem without any prior plan.
Talk about team play. Or maybe it’s more than that between those two.
“I agree.” Xan’s voice comes from behind me with mischievousness.
“What are you doing?” I whisper.
“Making Ronan pay by throwing him in front of those two.” He brushes a kiss against the lobe of my ear. “Watch and learn, Green.”
Ronan flips off Xander, who returns it with a huge grin, as if he’s been waiting for this his entire life.
“Being Death is cool.” Knox wraps an arm around Ronan’s shoulder, instantly forgetting about their team-level disagreement. “Everyone is afraid of you on the field.”
“Thank you, Van Doren!” Ronan squeezes him in a bro clutch. “I’m promoting you to my closest friend and firing all these fuckers.”
