“Don’t be crass, Michael.” He flashes an eyebrow before smiling. “But yeah, I kinda did. So you’d better make her a sandwich too, and I’ll take it in to her. You know how cranky she gets when she’s hungry.”
Mikey laughs out loud before he turns back around to continue making sandwiches.
“You two good now, then?” I ask.
Shane turns to me and nods. “Yeah. We’re good, kid.”
“Good.” I smile at him because him and Jessie being good means we’re all good.
“You don’t mind if I steal her for the night, do you?” he says this louder so Mikey can hear him too.
“No. Not at all,” I reply.
“Your need is greater than mine, bro,” Mikey adds.
“Good. Where is Conor?” Shane asks.
“He’s downstairs meeting with some new suppliers. But he saw you were back and assumed you were going to be otherwise engaged for most of the afternoon. He said he’ll catch up with you later.”
“Oh,” he frowns.
“I’m pretty sure he won’t mind you stealing Jessie away, either. We’re all glad you two are sorting your shit out.”
“You’ve all been talking about us then?” Shane arches an eyebrow at me.
Mikey walks over to us, carrying a plate with a sandwich on it. He hands it to me with a grin before he answers Shane’s question. “Yep. When we saw your bags in the hall and couldn’t find either of you, we figured you were fucking each other senseless.”
Shane gives me a feather light slap on the back of my head.
“Oi! I never said anything.”
“Yeah, but I can’t reach him and don’t you two feel each other’s pain or something?” he grins.
“Are you forgetting I almost died a week ago,” I say, rubbing the spot dramatically.
Mikey rolls his eyes. “How much longer are you going to dine out on this almost dying thing? It’s a good thing you’re back, Shane, because Liam has been doing some major slacking off. Lying around all day, eating Cheetos and watching Netflix.”
Shane shakes his head in mock disgust. “Disgraceful,” he says as he takes one half of my sandwich from my plate and takes a huge bite.
“Actually,” I say with a dramatic sigh. “I’m feeling kind of dizzy after that nasty blow to the head. I think I might need Jessie to look after me tonight, after all.”
Shane turns and narrows his eyes at me while Mikey howls laughing in the background. “You wouldn’t?”
“You’ve just assaulted me and stole my fucking sandwich. Watch me, bro. All I’d have to do is tell her I’m not feeling too good and she’ll be in my bed all night long.” I wink at him.
“If you weren’t still recovering from your near death experience, I would kick your ass right now.” Shane scowls before he shoves the rest of my sandwich into his mouth.
“Jessie!” I croak, and Shane glares at me.
“What?” she says as she strolls into the kitchen, taking us all by surprise. She walks straight over to me and drapes an arm around my shoulders, and I can’t help but grin at Shane. Before she walked in here, looking good enough to eat in just one of his t-shirts and probably fuck all else, me talking about making her spend the night with me was just a joke, but now he’s not sure if all bets are off. Because every single man in this kitchen would fuck her where she stands given half the chance.
She traces a fingertip over the fading bruise on my cheek. “Are you okay?”
I wrap an arm around her waist and pull her close to me and I can sense the frustration coming from my older brother in waves now. “I’m fine, baby. I was just playing with Shane,” I say as I brush her hair back from her face before I look past her and wink at him.
“Don’t upset him. You know how he gets,” she whispers, but clearly loud enough for him to hear.
Shane stands up and pushes his stool back. Standing behind her, he wraps her hair around his fist and tilts her head slightly. “I’m going to make you pay for that later, sweetheart,” he growls in her ear and she shivers against me making my cock twitch in my shorts.
