I was shaking my head. “That’s my step brother. He’s creepy as hell and has been messaging me for days all kinds of shit. I didn’t even know he was here until he snuck up on me.”
Danny pushed me to stand behind him as he went to help Max.
My stepbrother was wiping the back of his hand across his bloodied mouth, fury behind those dark eyes that promised retribution.
“You little whore. Are they the reason you didn’t return my messages?”
I was scared to hell and back, shaking uncontrollably.
Max turned to me. “Who is this asshole?”
“Her stepbrother,” Danny answered. “He put bruises on her, he needs to be taught a lesson.”
I couldn’t find my words, but just stared as Danny and Max lunged for my stepbrother, each grabbing an arm and hauling him down the hall. I recoiled as he roared and fought against the guys, but he was nothing compared to them. They easily overpowered him.
All I could do was stand and stare in shock. No one had ever fought for me this way.
Danny shoved open the stairwell door and they pushed Todd through, both of them rushing in after him. The door shut with a loud clap behind them.
My stomach churned and hurt, and I chewed on a hangnail as I paced back and forth, not wanting them to get in trouble because of my dickhead stepbrother.
Mumbled voices sounded, and a loud thud that smacked into the door came from the stairwell. I stepped closer but waited. Todd needed to be taught a lesson and had to leave me alone. I reached up and ran my fingers over my sore neck where he’d grabbed me, where evidently bruises were already forming.
After what felt like a lifetime, the door swung open and Max emerged, then Danny, and behind him I caught a quick glimpse of my brother before the door shut. He sat on the step, his lip busted open, blood dripping from his cheek, his clothes ruffled. He stared at the ground; shoulders curled forward. But I didn’t feel an ounce of guilt for him. Not when he didn’t understand boundaries or what “no” meant.
“Let’s go upstairs, gorgeous.” Max wrapped an arm around my waist and drew me tight against him like he had no plans to ever let me out of his sight. He walked away.
I was shaken up at seeing Todd. He was a stalker, and I wanted him nowhere near me ever again.
The elevator door closed behind us, and I was gasping for air, my arms trembling as I clutched the bottle to my chest.
“He’s not going to ever touch you.” Danny approached me and took the Schnapps from my death grip. Then he collected me into his arms, and I pressed myself against his chest, inhaling his hypnotizing scent, feeling safer with these two men then I had my whole life. Max stood at my back, and the three of us didn’t break apart until we reached our floor. They stayed close and something in my heart clenched at having these two strong protectors care for me that much.
“No one’s ever done that for me before,” I admitted.
“While we’re around, no one will ever hurt you again,” Max promised. And I took that promise and secured it in my heart.
Out in the hallway, I pushed myself on tippy toes and kissed Danny, which turned into something passionate and deep and intoxicating. I turned my head and Max greeted me with a kiss of his own, embracing my mouth with his.
Their hands were all over me, and I was suddenly swept into their world. Me kissing two men, having them with me at once.
“We should head back to the room if we’re continuing this,” I whispered, my words breathy.
The boys exchanged a glance, then rushed me toward the room. My heart was thumping in my chest at what I had implied, but I wanted this. I craved their affection.
Naughty List #10: Two at Once
Afew days ago, I assumed my life was fine. It was to a point. I was completely happy with the path I’d traveled and doing the right thing had always brought me happiness. I wasn’t saying I lived a horrible life. Far from the truth, but what I had realized since meeting Max and Danny was that I’d played it too safe for too long. There were so many things I missed out on by not staying out late, studying endlessly on weekends, and telling myself I didn’t have time for a boyfriend. Excuses?
Maybe. Or maybe it was just fear.
Now, I pushed aside all inhibition and stood there, blushing wildly, gape-mouthed that I had suddenly found two gorgeous men who were willing to protect me.
They stared at me like I might be a piece of chocolate cake. Both sets of gazes slid over me, bringing butterflies to life in my stomach. Danny with his chiseled cheekbones, stunning blue eyes, and his knee-buckling winks. Max and his stoic expression, the devilish sneaky grin he always gave, and the rare sexy grins that flooded me with so much warmth when he gave them to me. I couldn’t believe these two gods wanted me! At the same time!
My legs wobbled under me.
Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined I’d gain the attention of a hot guy, but two… I needed to fan myself.
