“You tell me I’m going to need to start a skincare regime and I’ll have to hurt you.”
“You like hurting me,” Nico pointed out.
Liam grinned. “Sometimes. And you like it when I hurt you.”
“Sometimes.”
Liam barked out a laugh then slid his hand out of Nico’s jeans. “Do them up. Time’s wasting.”
Nico groaned. “You’re such a bastard. All the fucking blood is in my cock. How am I supposed to even walk?”
Liam headed to the door. “You’ll figure it out.” He opened it and Nico walked past with a grumble, hastily doing up his jeans.
Liam smacked his ass and Nico jumped, turning with a glare. “You’re a real ass sometimes.”
“Watch it,” Liam warned. “You’re being given a reprieve. But at some stage, there will be a reckoning. At the rate you’re going, you won’t sit for a week.”
“Promises. Promises.”
He’d never met someone more perfect for him than Nico. He knew he couldn’t be as rough with Lottie. She needed a far more delicate touch.
There was nothing delicate about Nico.
As though he sensed where his thoughts had gone, Nico turned back and wrapped his hand around the back of Liam’s neck, pulling him down for a kiss. It wasn’t often he took the more dominant role like this. But every so often, his dominant side pushed through.
“I love you, Liam. We’ve got this. Okay? She needs us. And we need her. It’s going to be the three of us. Forever.”
“Forever,” Liam agreed.
“You know which bedroom is hers?” Nico asked as they quietly moved down the stairs.
Liam just shot him a look over his shoulder. Of course, he did. This was Liam. He didn’t leave much up to chance.
Liam held a finger up to his lips as they moved silently down the hallways. That sense of urgency in Nico’s gut grew.
Suddenly, Liam stopped, and Nico nearly plowed into him. Turning, Liam sent him a scowling look. Yeah, he hadn’t been paying attention to his surroundings. He got it.
Bad Nico.
Thankfully, Liam was always hyper-aware. Liam pointed to a door. That had to be her room. Then he raised an eyebrow as though asking Nico what he wanted to do.
If they knocked, then they ran the risk of Regent hearing them. Turning, he looked around. He didn’t know where her oldest brother slept. At least Victor wasn’t here. And Maxim and Jardin no longer lived here.
Liam pointed at a door two down then mouthed a word.
Regent.
Okay, knocking was out. They could walk in, but what if they gave her a fright and she screamed?
Fuck. Too bad he hadn’t thought this out. He didn’t even have her phone number to send her a text, which would have been the sensible thing.
But he needed to see her.
Taking a deep breath, hoping this wasn’t a fucking mistake, Nico stepped up to her door.
Liam didn’t say a word, just turned, keeping an eye out as Nico gently opened the door. If she was asleep, he didn’t want to wake her. He knew that she didn’t get enough rest.
If she was sleeping, he’d just get a look at her and leave.
