Page 11 of Shameless With Him

Devin’s head popped out of the kitchen door, and I grinned.

“Considering I’m wearing the same damn face mask as you right now, I figured you should be the one to answer.”

“So, you knew I was going to?”

“Of course, I did, babe. You look beautiful.”

I laughed. “And so do you, big brother. Love the new look.”

“Fuck you. My pores are going to be amazing after this.”

Erin beamed at us. “That is true. And next time, there’s this pumpkin spice one that I love.”

Devin raised his green brows. “That’s just going to make me hungry.”

“Great, now I want dessert,” I grumbled.

“I thought you were on a date tonight?” Devin asked, bringing out some cheese and fruit.

Yum, cheese and fruit. Ever since our older brother Dimitri had married Thea, cheese had become a huge part of our lives. However, Thea was now very pregnant and couldn’t have soft cheeses anymore. We’d all thought about maybe giving it up with her, but we couldn’t. Not when soft cheese existed in the world.

“I was on a date.”

“That bad?” Erin asked, taking a piece of cheese from the board before Devin could set it down.

“No, it was nice. I just wasn’t in the mood for it to go any further.”

“That sounds reasonable. Are you going to eat all of our cheese?” she asked as I nibbled another piece.

“What? It’s really good,” I answered with a mouth full of cheese.

“I have more in the fridge that I can cut up. Or I can make my lazy brother do it for me.” Devin kissed Erin on the lips before taking a seat next to her, cheese in hand. “Anything you wanted to talk about, or are you just here because you want to be?”

“No, I was bored and figured I’d see what you guys were up to. Dimitri’s was too far, and last time I was at Amelia’s, I walked in on something I never want to think about again.”

Devin shuddered, and Erin giggled.

“She told me about that. There are some things siblings never need to see.”

“Or talk about,” I growled out.

“Or talk about,” Erin agreed. “So, you’re just here because you want to be?”

I shrugged. “I was gone awhile when I was in Alaska. Figured I’d say hi.”

“We were just going to sit and watch a movie tonight. We’re doing face masks and eating cheese. And, eventually, Erin wants to convince me to do a pedicure.”

I snorted. “Can’t you just go somewhere and get one? Seems easier than having to deal with feet.”

Erin nodded and munched on her cheese. “Sure. Except, sometimes, you can do those little bags that you wrap around your feet, and then you have baby feet for a few months.”

“Why would you want baby feet?” I asked.

“Because they’re soft and pretty. Wait. Have you ever had a pedicure?”

I shrugged, and Devin snorted. “Really, bro?”

“You’re wearing a face mask, don’t even.”
