“I’m not leaving until Flynn leaves.”

Flynn cups my cheek. “Go ahead. I have a few things to discuss with your brother.”

I wag my finger at Weston. “No bloodshed.”

“No promises,” he mutters as Lucas drags me out of the room.

I open my mouth to protest but Weston slams the door in my face. This is bad. Flynn wasn’t ready to tell Weston about us but now he has no choice. Will he say it was all a mistake? That I’m a mistake?

Chapter 30

My decision making skills are as good as a seal sleeping on the street.

Flynn

Iwait for the door to shut behind Sophia before I speak. “Your sister was never in any danger.”

Weston’s nostrils flare. “You stole a live raccoon with her and she was never in danger?”

“We didn’t steal a raccoon.”

“How the hell did the mascot for Rogue’s Landing end up in your car if you didn’t steal him?”

“Sarah, the wife of the man who’s supposed to be guarding him, gave him to us.”

“Are you serious?”

“Sarah opened the back gate and handed Rogue’s cage to us.”

Weston pounds his fist on the table. “I’m not talking about the fucking raccoon.”

Damn. I knew this was coming. He couldn’t miss how swollen Sophia’s lips were from my kisses when he walked in. What the hell was I thinking? Kissing her while we’re in the police station where her brother works.

But I couldn’t help myself. She was smiling as I told her stories about my mom and I couldn’t resist my little temptress. My inability to resist her is what got me into this mess in the first place.

“I was planning to tell you.”

“You were planning to tell me?”

“Yeah.” I nod. “I didn’t want you to hear about us from someone else.”

“But you didn’t tell me. I had to find out about you running around with my little sister from Lucas.”

Damn, Lucas and his big mouth. He couldn’t keep his big mouth shut until I had a chance to tell Weston myself? He had to bring Weston in on his night off?

“How long has this been going on?” Weston demands. “How long have you been lying to me and carrying on behind my back?”

“I haven’t been lying to you.”

“Omitting the truth is the same as a lie.”

It’s what his father, Jack, always says. I don’t agree with him. Not everyone needs to know the truth. Weston sure as hell doesn’t need to know about the things I want to do to his little sister.

“I was trying to find the right moment to tell you.”

“The right moment? The right moment?” He explodes. “You think there’s a right moment for you to tell your best friend you defiled his little sister?”

“You make it sound dirty.”
