Tension fills the air as all three of us stand in my kitchen. I thought it seemed cramped with Drew’s giant frame in it earlier, but with the two of them both here, all broad chests and giant arms, the atmosphere is so claustrophobic it’s suffocating.

“What are you doing here?” Drew scowls at Logan as he positions himself next to me.

“I came to check on Mads.” He holds Drew’s eyes, unaffected by my brother’s deathly glare.

“Her name’s Maddy. She hates being called Mads,” Drew snaps.

“Logan’s the only one who calls me that and it’s fine.”

Logan looks sideways at me, a new emotion gleaming in his eyes that I can’t identify. But I can’t unpack it now. Not when these two brutes might kill each other in my kitchen.

“You going to kiss and make up then?” I bounce my eyes between them.

“That depends,” Drew answers without breaking eye contact with Logan. “You going to keep fucking my baby sister?”

“I am not a baby,” I almost yell, shaking with irritation.

“I hope so,” Logan replies cockily.

“Maybe I’ll split the other side of that lip then,” Drew counters.

“For God’s sake.” I step between them like an umpire with a hand raised toward each of them. “You,” I point at Drew, “need to keep your nose out and not threaten my visitors. And you,” I point at Logan, “need to learn when to keep your big mouth shut.”

“Sorry.” Logan’s smile grows as he locks eyes with me. We stare at each other for a few seconds before Drew scoffs.

“I don’t fucking believe it. Stop eye-fucking her in front of me. It’s bad enough knowing you went behind my back. I don’t need to see it again after last night.”

“Shut up, Drew,” I snap before Logan can answer him with whatever stupid thing he’s about to say.

My brother shakes his head. “You think I want to be here? Talking to you about who you’re sleeping with? The fact it’s him”—his eyes track to Logan and then back to me—“isn’t the worst fucking thing about it. It’s that you both lied. For weeks.”

“I was going to tell you today,” Logan says.

My mouth drops open. “You were?”

He at least looks guilty as he glances at me. “I wasn’t going to lie now that we’re home.”

I tip my head back and stare at the ceiling as Drew grumbles. He knows Logan is good to his word. He isn’t a liar. If he says he would tell Drew today, then he would tell him today.

“Instead, I saw you both…”

Drew doesn’t need to finish. We all know what he saw. Heat flares in my cheeks again.

“I just don’t… Of all the women you know,” he curses. “Couldn’t you have found someone on your precious dating app? Someone who isn’t my fucking baby sister.”

“I’m not a baby.”

“I deleted that app.”

Drew’s brows quirk at Logan’s confession.

“As soon as…” Logan’s eye flick to me. “I deleted it as soon as…”

“You’ve not been back on it?”

“Hell no.”

Drew rolls his lips with a nod. “It’s a fucking start. Doesn’t change the fact that she’s my sister. My fuckingsister.”
