Bear nearly chokes on his sip.
“Wait. Hold on,” Remy starts. He lays his cards facedown on the table to give Barrett his full glare. “Please tell me that you did not sleep with Isaac Perry’s youngest daughter on her sister’s wedding weekend.”
“Wedding day, actually,” I inform him.
“Jesus Christ,” Colt grumbles as he throws his cards down.
“So what?” Barrett asks.
“So, Isaac Perry is going to kill you, that’s what!” Remy yells at him. It’s nice not to be the fuckup for once. “And then we’ll have to go to war with the Devil Hounds for vengeance.”
“He’s not going to kill me,” Barrett replies confidently.
“How can you be so sure?” Colt asks.
“Because he had the chance tonight when he caught me sneaking out of their house.”
Oh shit.
“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?” I blurt out.
Barrett just rolls his eyes at my concern. “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,” Bear explains.
Just then, Jordan comes over and slaps Bear on the shoulder. “Did you tell them she was a virgin?” making my brother wince.
“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,” I say in Barrett’s 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,” Bear assures everyone. “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 Bear, “at least Bear’s moving on from his ex, right?”
“Lyla does look a lot like Laurel,” I can’t help but point out. “Does that still count?”
When everyone scowls at Barrett, he exclaims, “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.
“Staying with her to make sure she was okay after her fall.”
