"You're still stuck on that?" I don't roll my eyes, but it's close. "You're acting like a caveman again, just in case you wondered."
"I am the only man you will find sexually desirable."
"I didn't say I found them sexually desirable," I practically shout. I can't believe he said that. "You're the only one that makes my panties wet."
Did I say that? Out loud? In front of his brothers? Oh, well.
In for a penny, in for a pound. "I said they are good looking. Which they are. Until Orion opens his mouth and then the appeal wanes quickly. The jury is still out on Zeus."
A crack of laughter sounds behind me.
"Hey!" Orion says, sounding offended. "Women like my mouth fine."
"Well, of course they say that when you pay them enough," I say without turning around.
Atlas bursts into laughter, which is what I was going for. He was looking way too unhappy about the similarity in looks between him and his brothers. I can't help they are hot, but I don't want to bang them.
I tug his head down so I can whisper in his ear. "Five years, Atlas.Five years. I wouldn't have broken up with B.O.B. for your brothers."
"Remember that," he says in that growly voice that soaks my panties.
Porca miseria. I have no hope of getting through this evening with a modicum of dignity intact.
"Whose Bob? Do we have to get rid of someone?" Orion asks.
I jump and shove myself away from Atlas. Orion moved closer while I wasn't looking and I practically run into him.
"What are you, part bat?" I demand. "And also, have you heard of the concept of personal space? As in, you are standing in my bubble."
Orion takes an unexpected step back. I didn't expect him to listen to me and react so easily. He doesn't give off cooperative vibes.
It's not far enough for Atlas. He tugs me another two feet away from his brother, taking the opportunity to divest me of my coat and slide off his own jacket. He opens a hidden door in the wall and hangs them both up in a freaking walk in coat closet.
"Who is Bob?" Zeus asks when his brother comes out of the closet and shuts the door, leaving the wall looking as seamless as before.
An earthquake opening up a fissure in the floor I could sink into would be welcome right now. You could fry an egg on my cheeks at this point.
"I assume she named her vibrator," Atlas says when I remain silent.
"That did not earn you any good boyfriend points," I mutter.
"B.O.B.?" Orion asks, like he's amused. "I get it now. Battery operated boyfriend."
"You would have earned a gold star for your ability to state the obvious, but the need to spell it out is your fault because you were listening to a private conversation. So, no gold star for you."
"You're standing in a foyer with two other people. That's hardly private."
"Have you heard of the concept of whispering? Clearly my words were not meant for your bat ears."
"Your woman is mouthy," Zeus says.
"Not usually. Apparently, you all bring it out in me." I haven't been this willing to pop off with what's in my head since me and my brother were kids. When we were still close.
Training to become a mafia princess included learning to stifle any and all sarcasm. It wasn't considered ladylike. I'm kind of glad it's back.
Too bad my brother isn't here to use it on, but Atlas's brothers will do as stand ins.
Sudden emotion wells up inside me at the thought.
