“Why do you care if we flirt? You said you two were brothers,” Hector says.
“Stepbrothers,” I reply and then sigh in annoyance.
August smiles shyly at me, but he’s not fooling anyone. This is some kind of revenge thing. He was irritated about Colin and I exchanging numbers and now he’s getting back at me.
I never thought August would be so cruel, but apparently, he has it in him. He even does it with a smile. Sneaky bastard. I’ll have to get him back later. Maybe I’ll fuck an apology out of him.
“He likes to tell people we’re brothers just to see my reaction,” August tells Hector.
I roll my Jolly Rancher around in my mouth. “Of course I do. I enjoy seeing you flustered and blushing, Mr. I’m-always-so-put-together.”
Hector glances up quickly, sliding his eyes across August’s body, and then returns his eyes to my bare ass. “Bet he’d look good rumpled.”
“Right?! That’s what I’ve been saying,” I exclaim and then frown when I realize what I just said. “But don’t get any ideas, H. He’s unavailable.”
Hector presses a little harder than he should with his tattoo gun, and I grunt.
“Damn you. Seriously? You gotta be rough with me? You know my ass is sensitive.”
“I can be rough. If the mood is right.”
He checks out August again, which annoys me, but mostly, I get it. August is hot. I can’t wrench my eyes away from him either. He’s perfection personified and it’s so maddening. All you want to do is sully him up and see how far you can push him until he falters.
I’ve learned I can push him pretty far.
He takes it so good.
“How about a threesome?” Hector offers, and I turn my head to glower at my favorite tattoo artist that’snotmy favorite anymore. I’m about to disown him. Six years of building this reciprocal relationship, and all it takes is flirting with August for it all to come crumbling to the ground.
“Um, no. I don’t share. And I definitely don’t share him. He’s un-sharable.”
“Too bad,” Hector says and August leans against the wall biting down on his bottom lip. He runs a hand through his hair, and it falls perfectly back in place.
He didn’t look like this kneeling on the shower floor for me. No, he looked flushed and disheveled and obscene. We arefor suredoing that again. Although I’m sure we’ll have to discuss it first. I won’t get away with ignoring it forever. Even if this day has been a dream.
We need to set some boundaries.
I never really learned how, but I have to with him, or else I’m going to end up heartbroken at the end of this. I won’t do well if that happens.
Dr. K will be so disappointed in me.
“All done,” Hector says and then swats my thigh. “Put that ass away.”
I stand up and pull my pants up.
And goddammit, Hector is leaning toward August and touching his arm seductively, just running his fingers down his skin like he has the right to do so.
“Um, excuse me. Hands to yourself,” I say and elbow Hector out of the way. Which is quite a feat of bravery, since he’s huge and could probably crumple me in fist and toss me in the trash like a used tissue.
August bites back a smile and I point at his face. “Do not look at me like that. You’re evil.”
“Now you know how I feel.”
“Yes. I do. Thank you for the life lesson. And now you’ve made a sinner out of me. Jealousy is against the Ten Commandments. How does that make you feel now that I’m going to hell?”
“Smug.”
“Goddamn you.”
