Page 10 of Hear Me Roar

“Hazel’s got it already. Thanks,though.”

I should’ve guessed. For women, they actually drained their beers in entirety rather than nursing a single bottle all night long. Sometimes, they could even outdrink me and Luis. Swooping under the archway into the kitchen, I found my girl slicing a couple of limes to lay out on a small plate. She was so engrossed in the task at hand, she didn’t even hear the sound of my footsteps approaching. Setting down the empty bottles onto the granite counter beside her, I slid my arms around her waist and buried my face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her deeply. She smelled like home and my mind instantly rolled back to the moments before our friends got here, her scent flickering image after cock-twitching image that had me pulling her closer forpurchase.

A soft laugh rattled her small frame against me as she reached back and threaded her fingers into my hair. “Well, hello to youtoo.”

“You're mine the second they leave, you hearme?”

“Mmm, yes, sir,” she purredplayfully.

“I'mserious.”

“I didn't say you weren't. After our little interruption earlier, I’ve been throbbing allnight.”

Fuck.

I licked my lips. “I can taste youalready.”

“Dirty boy, they’re right there,” she chastised, swiveling around in myarms.

Coy didn’t quite describe her expression. She was downrightsalacious.

“I don’t give a fuck,” I growled, hitching one her legs around my waist. “They’re lucky I’m not railing you against the counter as wespeak.”

“Behave. You can rail me against it all you want when theyleave.”

“Who's the dirty one now?” Ismirked.

“Yo, Knox, where’s my beer?” Luis yelled from the living room, interrupting usyetagain.

That was starting to get really fucking annoying and they’d only been home for a fewdays.

“Yeah, Hazel, where’s my beer?” That, obviously, wasReyna.

My girl giggled softly and shook her head. “They’re fucking twinsalright.”

Were theyever...

“What the hell is taking you two so long? I swear to God you better not be doing some nasty shit or I’m puking all over your coffee table,” Reyna exclaimed and I heard Luis mumble something that sounded like, “Naaah, chill. They wouldn’t dothat.”

My best friend’s commentary sparked an idea neither he nor his sister would find all that amusing. All the more reason to do it, right? Payback for the blue balls I was suffering with because ofthem.

“Wanna press their buttons?” I asked, waggling myeyebrows.

Hazel rolled her lips together and stifled a laugh. “Reyna willdie.”

“And? It’ll be fun.” Cue exaggerated grin she could neverresist.

Five…

Four…

Three…

Two…

One...

“Fine.” She rolled her eyes in a seemingly annoyed fashion. “How do we dothis?”
