“Sure. It’s not like I have atype.”
Her emphasis on the wordtypeis not lost on me.
What the hell? This is completely insane. The thought of my little sister… I’d like to pummel that pretty boy’s face.
And Brianna?
I’d like to throw him into next week.
I’m not sure which of them upsets me more.
My little sister…or Brianna.
Brianna shouldn’t bother me at all.
Maddie downs her sidecar quickly and rises. “I’ve had about all I can take of this brotherly talk. I’m going back up to the room, Bree. Stay and finish your drink if you want. See you in a few.”
She huffs and walks away before Brianna can stop her.
Then Brianna sighs. “I’ll finish my drink quickly.”
“Hell no. Have one or two more. It’s all on Zane. Besides, we’ve got a pizza coming. You hungry?”
“Not especially.” She takes another sip of her bourbon. “I don’t know what this is. Zane ordered the best bourbon they’ve got here. It could be expensive, and it’s delicious. I’d like to take my time with it.”
“Go right ahead. I’m not going anywhere until I finish my pizza.”
She nods, not smiling, and then takes another sip.
Oddly, I don’t feel weird being with her.
I should talk about tea at Ennis Ainsley’s house. I was damned rude to her, and I should apologize.
I should do a lot of things.
But all I can think about right now is getting her back in bed.
And my God… I have a private room. I even have everything I need since my luggage was finally delivered yesterday.
She takes another sip. And then I take the first sip of mine.
She’s right. Itisdelicious. Perfect caramel and smoke with no harshness on the finish at all. I swirl it in my glass, watching the amber liquid flow. Thinking about how I might give my entire burgeoning career up for just one more time with Brianna Steel.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
She takes another sip of her bourbon. “Jesse, I have a question for you.”
Here it comes. Why can’t we be together? Why don’t you want to be with me? What’s wrong with me?
I brace myself for all the possibilities.
“Go ahead,” I finally say after taking another sip of bourbon.
“Why didn’t you want Maddie and me to go with Zane?”
