A man's voice carried over the music. A familiar man's voice.
Dalton.
Shit.
I looked over and saw him and Juliette walking toward me. Judging by the expression on his face, either I'd done something I didn't know about, or he'd found out about me and Kyndall. I was betting on the latter.
I stood. “Dalton. Juliette.”
“Hey, Dean.” Juliette smiled at me, nothing in her greeting saying she'd learned anything new recently.
“Did you sleep with my sister, Stokes?”
Juliette gave him a startled look, but he didn't look at her. Instead, he took a step toward me.
“Did you have sex with my little sister?”
“Dalton.” Juliette sounded appalled.
“I'm sorry, but that's not your business.” I kept my tone easy, reminding myself that he was just being overprotective. “If she wants to tell you anything, that's up to her.”
“I'll take that as a yes.” Dalton's eyes flashed, and he came even closer. “Did you know who she was when you did it?”
The fact that he was asking meant he didn't know the details, and I didn't intend to be the one who explained. That wasn't my place. He was my friend, but she was his sister. She had the right to decide how much he knew or didn't know.
“Dalton.” Juliette put her hand on her husband's arm. “Take a step back.”
He looked like he wanted to argue, but her fingers flexed, and he did as she said. It didn't, however, stop him from asking another question, “Have you been giving her money?”
I blinked, surprised by the question. “No.”
He gave me a hard look. “Do you know where she works?”
I shook my head again and bit back a comment about how Kyndall and I hadn't really talked when we'd been together. That would've been a monumentally stupid thing to say to an overprotective brother.
“She's got an apartment in the same building as us,” he frowned as he said it. “And I have no clue how in the hell she's paying for it.”
I glanced at Juliette, who shrugged, like that was a help. I turned back to Dalton. “That might be something you need to talk to Kyndall about.”
The muscle in his jaw clenched. “I don't know what happened between the two of you, but whatever it was, it's over right now. Stay away from my sister, Dean. I mean it.”
