in my room to dry my hair. Jaylinn knocked at the door. She frowned.
“Where did you run my brother off to?” she asked.
“He went home to change. He said to tell you he would be right back.”
“And why did he have to change?”
“Because we…”
She cut me off before I could answer her. “Wait, don’t answer that. I don’t even want to know.”
I busted out laughing, I couldn’t help it; I was on cloud nine from my kiss with Hunter.
“Well, I’m glad to finally see you laughing again, and I’m glad it was Hunter who is the cause of it.” Hailey said leaning against my doorframe.
“Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I still have to go downstairs and deal with my brothers.” I pulled my hair up in a ponytail. “Alright, let’s go face the music.”
They waited in the living room watching TV. Hailey ran interference with Mason, and Jaylinn eased next to Cooper.
I took a seat in the recliner next to Jackson and Chloe. “So, Chloe, how are you feeling today? Any better?”
“No, not at all, I’m so uncomfortable.” She said groaning. Poor girl, she was so ready to have this baby.
“Well, with your shower on Saturday, hopefully it will take your mind off of it for a little while.” I tried to shine some kind of light on the situation.
“I sure hope so.”
Hunter walked in looking hot, even dressed in sweat pants and a t-shirt. I offered him my seat, prepared to sit next to the couch, but he pulled me in his lap instead.
Mason practically leapt off the couch.
“Dude, that’s my fucking sister. What are you doing?”
“Mason, watch your mouth.” My dad spoke up.
I decided to try to defuse the situation. I walked into the kitchen to start doing the dishes that didn’t make it into the dishwasher. Mason followed me into the kitchen, I assumed to finish our argument, but he was not alone. Hunter and Cooper came too.
“What the fuck is going on between you two?” Mason seethed through his teeth.
Cooper put his hand on Mason’s shoulder. “Mase, man, let it go.”
“No, I’m not just going to let it go. You’re only sticking up for them because you’re fucking his sister.” Mason fired back at Cooper.
My mouth dropped opened.
“What the fuck, Mase!” Cooper groaned.
“You’re what, Coop? That’s my fucking sister.” Hunter yelled back.
I thought it was going to be a free for all, but, thankfully, Jackson and my dad walked in before anyone could get too crazy.
“What the hell is going on? Why is everyone yelling?” My dad asked.
I shrugged. I was not getting into this. I focused on the dishes.
“Your daughter wants Hunter,” Mason said.
“I thought you were with Dominic?” Dad said.
“Nope, haven’t been for a few weeks. But while we’re talking about it, Mason’s dating Hailey.” I fired right back towards Mason.
My dad reached up to rub his forehead, surely from the headache that we were all causing.
“And what about you?” he asked Cooper.
Hunter spoke up and answered before Cooper could. “He wants Jay.”
My dad threw his hands up and walked out. That made me laugh, and earned me a glare from everyone but Jackson, who also thought this was insane.
“This is a clusterfuck.” Jackson stated and then he turned around and walked back into the living room.
Mason and Cooper stormed out leaving me alone with Hunter in the kitchen. He caged me in around the sink.
“Well, that went great.” He pushed my hair back off my neck then kissed it. “Did you know about Jay and Coop?”
I pushed back on him, snuggling a little closer and shook my head no. Hunter groaned and whispered. “Stop that.”
“Stop what?”
“You know what.” Hunter moaned softly in my ear.
A throat cleared behind us.
“Hunter,” Mrs. McCormick said.
Hunter pushed off from my back and said, “Yeah, Mom?”
“Could you run me and Jaylinn home now? We have to get up early to go shopping with the girls, so we need to get some sleep.”
“Yeah, sure. Get Jay and I’ll meet you in the truck.”
When she left, Hunter crushed his lips to mine. I moaned a little when his tongue brushed against my lips. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him. He pushed me against the door. All my muscles started to tense, both from the kiss and from the fact that anyone who walked in would catch us.
“God, I don’t think I could ever get sick of kissing you.” Hunter said.
“Good, cause I don’t either.”
Hunter set me down on my feet and kissed me again
