She’d left a pile right by the door to my room, where I wouldn’t trip over it coming out of the bathroom. It irked me that she just dropped them there. I scooped them up and thrust them toward the bed, tossing them at her.
“Get dressed.”
“Rams.” She practically pouted. “I need you…it’s been such an awful year and I didn’t get into any of your classes. And I’ll be eighteen right after Christmas…”
“Not helping,” I said, keeping my voice firm and stern. The absolute lack of interest from my dick definitely helped in the current situation. “Get dressed, Payton. You need to go back to your own suite.”
“But…” She pressed against my arm and I kept my hand locked on the tablet. The rub of her nipples on my skin was not what I wanted. “I need you.”
Clearing my throat, I frowned at her. “Miss Webber…”
“It’s so sexy when you go all teacher on me.”
I narrowly dodged her kiss, and the act of pulling my arm away caused me to touch her more. Goddammit. “Payton…”
“Rams,” she pleaded, “I need you.”
I was doomed.
A knock on my door ended abruptly with Lachlan leaning in. “Hey, I was gonna get—what the fuck are you doing here?”
The last part of that question came out positively hostile, and I’d never been so glad to see my younger brother. I cut a look at him.
“Goddamn, Payton, you’re not a whore. Stop acting like one.” Lachlan stalked forward. “Can’t you see you’re upsetting Ramsey’s delicate sensibilities.”
Normally, I’d be offended, but he wasn’t wrong.
He didn’t wait for a response from either of us as he walked across my floor—in shoes, dammit, I’d have to sweep—then scooped up her discarded clothes from the bed. He paused to face us both. “Unless you invited her? And I mean, I don’t judge, but trust me when I say listening to her is not worth what her mouth can do.”
“You are such a bastard, Lachlan,” Payton spat, and the sound of her hand slapping him echoed through the room.
“Hardly news, sweetheart,” Lachlan told her dryly. “All three of us are bastards, something you know. Now… take your shit and your cosmetically enhanced tits and get the fuck out of here.”
He didn’t actually wait for her spluttering to form into syllables as he half-dragged her and her clothes to the door of the suite. Then he opened it, thrust her outside with her clothes.
“Now get lost before I get a squirt bottle to spray you with like the irritating cat in heat you’re behaving like.”
“You son of a—”
He shut the door, then dusting off his hands before he looked at me. “You should change the sheets. You’ll never sleep on those now, and I need to wash my hands.”
I couldn’t really argue because he wasn’t wrong. Ten minutes later, he leaned against the doorframe, watching me put the new comforter on. The rest of the bedding was sacked up to be picked up for laundry.
“You know,” Lachlan said in a far more sober tone of voice. “Maybe you shouldn’t flirt with the schoolgirls. You couldn’t handle it when you were a senior. Granted, you were young, but I heard the rumors and I remember. You shot up that last year. No way the girls didn’t notice you.”
“We’re not having this conversation,” I told him as I set the e-reader down on the nightstand. “You also need to stop thinking you're the center of the universe.”
He snorted. “I don’t need to be the center of everyone’s universe…”
“Just Kaitlin’s.”
Eyebrows raised, he shrugged. “Ace and I get each other. Not sure you’d understand. You prefer the safety of your academic bubble. Real world isn’t so friendly, bro.”
I frowned.
“But your sex life, or lack thereof, is not why I am here—though if you do decide to tap that with Payton, glove up.”
A sigh escaped me. “You dated her for fourteen months.”
