“I’m not being prejudiced against women. I’m merely pointing out how you and Moon are inseparable.”

Riley stands. “I volunteer as tribute.”

Moon elbows him. “I’m not sharing you with Ashlyn.”

He waggles his eyebrows at her. “But I’m loveable and there’s plenty of me to go around.”

“Ew. And I think the word you’re searching for is annoying.”

“Annoyingly loveable.”

I munch on my popcorn as I watch the show. This is better than any movie.

Moon glares at Riley. “Annoying and loveable do not belong in the same sentence.”

He smirks. “They do if it’s me.”

Juniper claps her hands. “Can we start the movie now?”

“My fifty bucks says the movie isThe Rebound,” Ashlyn claims.

Juniper glares at her. “How did you know? Did you sneak into my house again? I fixed the bathroom window.”

“Which is super annoying by the way. The doggy door is a tight fit.” Ashlyn shivers.

“I guess I’ll be adopting a replacement for Slinky.”

“Ha! You don’t scare me. You wouldn’t dare. I know Maverick hates snakes as much as I do.”

Juniper grins. “Maverick’s away shooting a film now.”

Ashlyn waves her phone. “He’s merely a press of a button away.”

Brody kisses my hair. “Aren’t you glad you didn’t chicken out and stay at home?”

“I wasn’t close to chickening out,” I claim. “Now. Shush. This is good entertainment.”

He licks the shell of my ear. “I can provide good entertainment.” His hand sneaks under my tub of popcorn but I bat him away.

“Behave.”

“Why? Behaving is boring. Being bad has way more rewards.” He traces his fingers along the skin above the waistband of my jeans.

“What about patience being a virtue?”

“I’m more an instant satisfaction kind of guy.”

I snort. “No, you’re not, Mr. Tease.”

“Mr. Tease? Perfect. I’ll allow you to use this moniker when referring to me.”

“You’ll allow me? You’re delusional. How much beer have you had to drink?”

“I haven’t had—”

Juniper’s clapping cuts him off. “Brody. Soleil. Can you pay attention with the rest of the class?”

My nose scrunches in feigned distaste. “Is this a class?”
