Trev was dark, where his older brother was light. He also didn’t look intimidating, or maybe it was that he didn’t have an air of power radiating off him.

“Trev, this is Trinity. My house guest,” she informed him. “I’d offer you wine, but it’s almost gone.”

Trev gave me a crooked smile. “It’s nice to meet you, Trinity,” he said. “Like she said, I’m the better-looking brother.”

I laughed, and his grin spread.

“Come on in and join us. You knew she was here, and you’re being nosy. Admit it,” Maddy said as she walked past us and back toward the great room.

“Maybe I came to see my little buddy,” Trev said, then winked at me this time.

Major flirt. But I liked him.

“Cree has been in bed for two hours. You know that,” she said as she put the gun back in its hiding place.

Trev walked over to the nearest leather chair and dropped down into it, then turned his smile on Maddy. “You might almost be finished with the wine, but what about Blaise’s whiskey stash?”

“You know where the bar is,” she replied and sat back down on the sofa.

I walked over and returned to the spot I’d been in before Trev arrived. He was watching me.

“Tell me, Trinity, how is life with the guys?”

I shrugged. “Fine,” I lied.

“You need to work on your lying skills. That sucked,” he told me.

That was a touchy subject I wasn’t about to venture into.

“Trev, don’t stir the pot, please,” Maddy said. “Huck isn’t Blaise.”

He didn’t seem concerned, and truthfully, he didn’t need to be.

“How old are you?” he asked.

“Twenty-one.”

“Just one year older. I like older women.”

Maddy grabbed a pillow and chucked it at him. “I am serious. Stop.”

Trev held up his hands. “I was just making small talk,” he said. “Trinity, how do you feel about Grand Theft Auto?”

Did everyone know what was on the background check? My face heated, and I dropped my gaze to stare at my hands in my lap. Apparently, the family had passed around the details of my past.

“Did I say something wrong? If you don’t like video games, it’s cool.” Trev’s voice sounded concerned.

Video games? Oh.He wasn’t asking me about the real thing.

I laughed then and lifted my eyes up to meet his. He had an unsure look on his face as he stared at me.

“I like video games. I used to play with Hayes sometimes,” I told him.

He nodded and kept looking at me. “Did you think I meant real grand theft auto?” he asked.

I pressed my lips together, unsure of how to explain this. I didn’t want them to know that I’d been arrested for it, although I hadn’t been charged.

Trev leaned forward, putting his elbows on his knees as he held my gaze. “Holy fuck. You’ve stolen a car.” Then, he threw his head back and laughed.
