Kiss-ass.
There was a loud rap on the hood, making us all look up. Ryan gestured toward the building. “Come on. Let’s get the keys!”
Wes started away, but I caught his hand. “Hey.”
Smiling, Wes came back, leaning into the driver’s side to brush a kiss over my mouth. “Of course I’ll let you drive my car, Maxi.”
I growled at the use of the stupid nickname. I’d never, ever admit it made my stomach flutter. “Don’t call me that.”
He kissed me again. Brat.
A total look of amusement covered Win’s face as we got out of the Wrangler.
“What?” I grumbled.
“You two are cute.”
I gave him the finger.
“You’re totally paying for this bus, aren’t you?” Win mused, slapping me on the shoulder.
“Of course,” I remarked.
“I’ll transfer half into your account.” I gave him a look, and he shrugged. “It’s what we do, right?”
Taking care of Wes was definitely what we did. Sometimes I think it was what got us through the epic grief of Mom and Dad dying. If we hadn’t had Wes to watch over, we might have spiraled into trouble.
Well, maybe not Win, but me? I’d probably be in jail.
“Hey, Win?” I asked, stopping his progress toward the building.
He turned back. “Yeah?”
“You really don’t think it’s… weird? The fact that we kinda parented Wes for the last few years, and now I’m, ah…”
“Screwing him?” Win mused.
I coughed, screwing up my face. “In love with him.”
Win grinned, a twinkle coming into his eye that meant only one thing. Assholery. “You can slap some lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.”
I bit back a laugh. “I’m not prettying up anything. I do love him.”
“But you’re screwing him too. Without a condom, I might add.”
I groaned. “I used one the first time, okay?”
“But after that…”
Damn. Was he actually pissed about that?
Scrubbing a hand over my face, I sighed. “I would never do anything to put Wes in any kind of danger,” I vowed. “I’m not some man-whore. I’ve been tested recently. I’m negative.”
Win nodded. “Yeah, I know.”
I raised my eyebrows, calling his bluff.
He made a face. “He’s still my baby brother.”
