She slapped me on the chest. "Will you be serious? I can't meet your sister naked."

If I had my way, she wouldn't be meeting my sister like this at all. Waverly could be dramatic. I loved the kid, but she was a giant diva.

"Grab some of my clothes. This is your home. If she doesn't want to see shit, she shouldn't let herself in."

Jana rolled her eyes. "It's not like she expected to find you in bed with a woman."

The corner of my mouth twitched up. Jana's head tipped back. "Of course. I forgot who I was talking to."

She was cute when she was irritated with me. I couldn't help myself and kissed her deeply. It certainly didn't help fight off my morning wood.

"All that was before you. I wasn't a monk, Jana."

"Variety is the spice of life," she mumbled.

"That life was empty. I hadn't been with anyone in months. I don't ever want to live that life again." I stared deep into her eyes willing her to believe me.

"Colter! I can hear you talking. Kick your skank out. I need to talk to you!" Waverly in a snit was not what I wanted to be dealing with the day after my wedding.

Jana shoved at my chest. "Go and deal with her. I'm going to jump in the shower. I smell like sex."

Now this I had to confirm for myself. I buried my face in her neck again and inhaled her. "Mmm, sex and candy. I think I understand that song better now."

She giggled, pushing me out of bed again. "You're so old."

I rose from the bed and pulled her up. She wobbled a little as she stood. "Having trouble walking this morning?" I raised an eyebrow, challenging her to deny she still felt me between her legs.

We made love, fucked, made out, and repeated until exhaustion claimed us. I planned to do it all over again today, but first I had to get rid of my little sister.

"I think you broke my vagina," Jana complained.

"Should I kiss it better? You're no good to me broken."

"I'm pretty sure you kissing it is what got me in this situation."

I swatted her rear. "Maybe you should go soak in the bath. I don't think I can leave you alone."

"I'm not hiding in the bathroom, Colt."

I dropped the teasing tone. "My sister can be difficult. I want to handle her before you have to see her."

Jana stretched up on her toes and kissed the bottom of my chin. "I'll take a long shower."

I waited until I heard the shower turn on before I threw on a pair of sweats and a shirt and went to face my sister.

"Waverly," I grunted in greeting. "What the fuck are you doing screeching the house down throwing a tantrum on a Saturday morning?"

"First you didn't pick me up at the airport, then the driver you sent took me to the ghetto!" She really was working herself toward a full-blown melt down.

I pinched the bridge of my nose and forced myself to count to ten. "Sabrina's apartment is only a few blocks from here. It's nowhere near the more rundown parts of the city."

She crossed her arms and started tapping the toe of her designer shoe. "You expect me to share an apartment with her?"

"She is your sister. If you don't want to live with her, by all means get a job and find something else," I replied. I was already growing weary of her attitude. How had I not seen how spoiled she'd gotten?

"A job?"

"You know those things where you perform a task in exchange for money?"
