“Hey, dipshits. Mind taking your tea party somewhere else?”
Ryleigh bit the tape from her hand and hid her smile.
“Man, it’s like watching some alien TV-show where Fianna has taken over Bree’s body and now scares the shit out of everyone with her attitude.”
“Excuse me, but I don’t have an attitude,” Fianna said with her nose up in the air.
“Sorry, Princess, that ain’t flying with us. You know you’re prissy and you’re mighty proud of it,” Ronan said. He walked over to Ryleigh and helped tape her other hand.
“Thanks.”
Ronan gave Ryleigh a wink in reply.
“It’s a matter of perception, really. I know my worth. I can’t help you lower yourself with nameless sluts all the time...”
With a sigh, Ronan stopped taping Ryleigh’s hand. He rested an elbow on the ropes and said, “I remember some—”
“Before you two really get into it, may I ask you to take it outside? Or to the nearest locker room to work off this sexual tension between you two?”
“Sure, Kitty Cat. I’d love to have a little reunion with Red.”
Ryleigh ignored the mumbled insults from Catriona in response to Ronan when she heard Fianna whisper, “I hate you.”
Fianna walked away and even went as far as exiting the dojo. Something about the wobble in her bottom lip led Ryleigh to believe that it hadn’t all been banter for Fianna.
Feeling sorry for Fianna, Ryleigh asked Ronan, “Are you two always like this?”
He shrugged. “Ever since she moved in next-doors to us when we were kids. We fought and not long after, we would make up. Damn… I miss the making up part from when we were teens.”
His eyes went wide, and he quickly checked the gym if someone overheard him.
“Enough about me. How’s my cousin treating you?”
Before she could answer Ronan, Aiden joined them at the ropes. Ronan watched Ryleigh closely when she hesitated and focused on her shoes for a moment too long.
Ronan said, “We have no secrets between us and Keen. If you’re fallen out with him, he’ll talk about it with us anyway, so you might as well tell us now.”
“That’s the oldest trick in the book, don’t fall for it, Ry.”
Catriona danced around in the ring and smirked at Ronan, who had the grace to blush at her jab.
Ryleigh wasn’t about to fall for it and said, “I know. Keenan is too much of a gentleman to blab our business around town.”
Aiden eyed Ryleigh and his stare made her duck her head.
“Can we please, fight now?” Catriona said again.
“I have one question for Ryleigh before you start,” Aiden said, and Catriona threw her hands in the air.
Something about Aiden’s serious tone of voice that’s so unlike him, made her jumpy. “What?” she croaked.
Aiden pulled himself up on the ropes and drew into the ring. His face came close to hers, drawing her attention to his green eyes. “Are you in it for the long haul with my brother and Blondie?”
“Damn, Cuz. Keen is not gonna like this,” Ronan said from somewhere below them.
“You’d better ask your brother that same question, Aide.” She narrowed her eyes and nudged his broad chest with her taped up knuckles.
“Why?”
