While I would have rather kept it a secret, the kid takes it upon himself to announce to the entire bar as soon as we walk in, “Guess who got lucky tonight?” while pointing at me.
“No shit?” RJ says when I sit down at the table where he’s playing cards with Remy, Colt, and Hugo.
I pick up his bottle of beer and drink the last sip. And nearly choke on it when he says, “You fucked your ex’s sister?”
“Wait. Hold on,” Remy starts as he lays his card hand on the table to glare at me. “Please tell me that you did not sleep with Isaac Perry’s youngest daughter on her sister’s wedding weekend.”
“Wedding day, actually,” RJ informs them.
“Jesus Christ,” Colt grumbles as he throws his cards down.
“So what?” I ask.
“So, Isaac Perry is going to kill you, that’s what!” Remy yells. “And then we’ll have to go to war with the Devil Hounds for vengeance.”
“He’s not going to kill me,” I assure them.
“How can you be so sure?” Colt asks.
“Because he had the chance tonight when he caught me sneaking out of their house.”
“He literally caught you red-handed?” Remy asks.
“Yep. Had his gun out, cocked and aimed at the back of my head.”
“But he didn’t shoot?” RJ asks, making me roll my eyes.
“I’m not bleeding, am I?”
“Maybe he would rather torment you slowly, painfully,” Remy remarks. “That’s what I would do.”
“His mother would be pissed if he killed me, and Lyla would never speak to him again,” I say without thought. Wouldn’t she be upset if I died for taking her virginity?
Just then, Jordan comes over and slaps me on the shoulder. “Did you tell them she was a virgin?” making me wince since that’s not a detail my brothers needed to know.
“If any of you survive this brutal war we’re about to engage in, please tell Josie that I love her,” Colt says dramatically.
Remy sits there silently fuming until he finally erupts, getting to his feet. “What the hell were you thinking?”
“I didn’t know that last detail until it was too late to take it back.”
“Ease up on him,” RJ says in my defense. “He went home with her after she fell on the gravel and got fucked-up.”
“Great, so you took the virginity of his drunken daughter?” Remy asks. “Nice going there, Bear. I don’t think you could make this shit any worse if you tried.”
“She wasn’t drunk,” I assure him. “So just sit down, shut the fuck up, and deal me in.”
“On the bright side,” Greer adds in his two cents when he joins us, setting a cold bottle of beer in front of me, “at least Bear’s moving on from his ex, right?”
“Lyla does look a lot like Laurel,” RJ interjects. “Does that still count?”
When everyone scowls at me, I tell them, “It wasn’t like that!”
“So, the virgin girl wasn’t a stand-in for the woman who broke your heart?” Colt asks.
“No. I didn’t mean foranyof this to happen.”
“What were you doing in their house, then?” Remy asks.
