“I’ll come back after I’ve put Lottie to bed.”
Lottie said a quiet good night to both of her brothers before Liam swept her out the room. They moved up the stairs toward her bedroom. Once in her room, Nico quickly wrapped an arm around her waist and drew her to him, kissing her.
“Fuck yes, pretty girl. God, I love you.”
Liam loved seeing them together. His dick hardened, his balls tightening. He was gonna need some release once he got Nico back to their room.
“I love you too, Nico. I don’t know how I could be without you now. The two of you, you’re everything.” Then she turned to Liam. “I love you.”
“I know.”
Both Nico and Lottie rolled their eyes at him. His brats.
“Liam doesn’t like to say it much. He thinks actions speak louder than words.”
“I can understand that,” Lottie said. There was a mix of relief and sadness on her face.
“You okay, baby girl? Upset with me for not telling you? If you are, don’t blame Nico. He wanted to tell you earlier.”
“Would you have told me? Eventually?”
“Of course. I admit I was waiting until you trusted us more. I know I should have told you all right away, but I didn’t see how it could help. And I was still protecting the worm. He’s an asshole, but he’s also my brother.”
“I get it. I do. I just can’t believe he was the reason I was taken.”
“He’s gone. He won’t be back.” Liam pulled her close, hugging her. He could sense her exhaustion. It called to him, pushing him to take care of her.
“That went better than I thought it would,” she said leaning back with a grin.
“Well, we aren’t fish bait yet,” Nico joked.
“I still have to go down there,” Liam reminded them.
Lottie worried at her lip. “They won’t hurt you.”
“Hey, stop.” Liam drew her lip from between her teeth. “You’re not to worry about me. I can take care of myself.”
“You’re not invincible, Liam.”
“He thinks he is,” Nico said.
“I’m not the one who spent most of his twenties trying to kill himself.”
“I didn’t try to kill myself. And it wasn’t most of my twenties. Just the first few years.”
“Until you met me.”
“Yeah, and then you stopped all the fun.”
“I stopped you from risking yourself. You had a death wish. Do you have that any longer?”
“No, Liam.”
“Will you be putting yourself in dangerous situations again?” Liam pressed.
“No, Liam.”
Lottie watched them, eyes wide. But he saw the flush of arousal in her face.
