I also made him promise never to go near any of my sisters again.
He made the promise.
And I believe him.
I trust Dragon, and he trusts me. Hell, I’m the only one who knows his story, but I swear to God, if he ever goes near one of my sisters again, I won’t stop myself from beating him senseless.
Sadie opens her mouth to say something when her friend Nora grabs her arm. “We’re heading into town to Murphy’s. You all want to come?”
“Sure,” Sadie says. “Come on, Jesse.”
Hitting the bar is the last thing I want to do. I’m exhausted. Cage, of course, is hoping to get laid, so he’ll go. Normally I love an evening at Murphy’s playing pool, but tonight I’m just not up for it.
“You all go without me,” I say. “I think I’ll be getting home.”
“Oh, please?” Sadie begs.
“Next time.” I smile.
I can tell by the look in her eyes that Sadie wants to stay here, but she already told Nora she’d go. So she heads out with Cage and some townies.
Jake is nowhere to be found. He must’ve left already, or he’s going with them. Dragon is still by the pool house with Diana.
Really strange.
So I’m left standing here next to Brianna Steel.
“Nice to see you, Bree.”
“Yeah, you too.” She smiles.
She truly is beautiful.
Beautiful…and Maddie’s age.
“Shit,” I say.
“Yeah?”
“Where’s Maddie? Did she go off with them?”
“I don’t know.” Brianna looks toward the deck. “Donny and Callie are still here. Maybe they know where she is.”
“Good enough. Let’s go.”
Chapter Seven
Brianna
“Hey, guys,” I say when we reach the deck where Donny and Callie are sitting where my aunts were earlier. “Have you seen Maddie?”
“She went on home,” Callie says. “Brock and Rory gave her a ride.”
“Thank God,” Jesse says.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Don asks.
Donny and Jesse are still trying to irk each other. It’s really time for both of them to grow up.
