“The friction was awesome because he gave me fantastic orgasms.” Finn and Hadley both shout things at me, but I laugh. “It’s the truth. Greg Rodwell is a beast in bed. There you go, Finn. I hope that makes your day.”

“Thanks a hell of a lot,” he seethes, but I laugh. “Did you bring clothes to change into for practice? We can take you. We need to stop and pick up Val since we’re leaving Finley at her house.”

“No. I’ll be there, though. Don’t send out a search party.”

Hadley stands and says, “I think I’m going to change my pants, Sparks.” She walks past Finn and stops to drag her hand along his chest. My brother inhales a deep breath as Hadley giggles and leaves the room. No, no, no.

Finn pushes out his chair and rises. “Yeah. I’ll be back, Sims. Would you stay with Finley for a few minutes?”

“What the hell, Finn? Every time I come over, you’re coming over your wife.”

He shrugs with a grin. “When you have a kid, you must seize every chance.”

“And you say that every time. You use me so you can bang Hadley.”

“Well, yeah. I’m kind of a beast too.”

“Gag. I’m aware since I’ve heard and seen you having sex with her several times.”

“The last time at Mom’s, you almost ruined our sex life. You owe me.”

“And now we’re even.” I sigh and wave him off. “At least keep your jeans on and make it a quickie. And for crying out loud, keep it to a dull roar with our shortstop, Coach.”

“That I can’t help.”

“But you and Hadley have sex every time I’m here and maybe every night.”

He slides his hand into his hair and drops the smile. “If I tell you this, don’t laugh or mention it to Hadley.”

“What?”

“It’s me who needs sex with her so much. Even though it worked out for us, the guilt of what I did to her haunts me. I want Becks to know how much I love her. It also keeps us close because I need her reassurance. I’m afraid of losing her because she doesn’t need me like I need her. Okay? That’s the truth.”

I cross my arms and nod as I stare at my empty plate. I think about Greg and the shame he carries with him every day. Sometimes, I forget my brother suffers too. “Damn. Thank you for telling me that. I get it.” I look up at him. “I’m proud of you, Finn. I mean that. You don’t need to let the guilt eat you alive, though. Hadley is in love with you. That’ll never change.”

“I hope it doesn’t because she’s my reason for...everything. Thanks, Sims.”

I watch him run upstairs with his hair bouncing. When he enters their room and shuts the door, Hadley squeals and moans. For the first time today, I don’t hate my horny brother.

I look at Finley. “You don’t want to know what your daddy is doing to your mommy right now. Trust me. I’ve seen it. But you’re lucky to have awesome parents who are crazy about each other. Let’s just keep it between us, though.” Finley grins and offers me one of her Goldfish crackers. “Thanks, girly.”
