Shit. Even his voice is husky and sexy. No one should be this beautiful—ever.

He glances my way and I drop my gaze, heat filling my cheeks. Great, now I’m flustered.

What the actual?

“Who’s this? Your sister?” Rafe asks.

Really? Bristling, I snarl at Rafe. I’m tired of the damn assumption that I must be something safe like a damn relative. I’m not fucking boring people. Although maybe I am because even my own damn sister is begging me to get laid.

Rafe’s mouth curls at the edge, amused by my glare I suppose while Cross says helpfully, “Beast’s cousin. Minnie, was it?”

Nodding I lean back and pull out my phone, annoyed that I’m annoyed. For fucks sake, this is ridiculous.

“Although I heard you fucked Jackson,” Cross says slyly. “Ready for real dick, sweetheart?”

My cheeks heat through but instead of shrinking away, I raise my chin and meet his amused gaze. “I’m good. Thanks.”

He chuckles and smooths a hair back from my face, as Rafe leans forward and says silkily, “Don’t believe a thing he says, love. His dick—“

“What about my dick?” Cooper says icily and I raise my eyes, meeting his scowling facade.

He raises a brow, his eyes dark and I smile helplessly before I remember that he kicked me out of his room earlier.

Right. Jerk.

With a grimace I turn back to Rafe. “You were saying?”

He smiles wickedly and I’m sure angels serenade somewhere in heaven. Fuck me.

“Minnie, over here,” Cooper says through gritted teeth.

“Naw, Min here is chatting with us,” Cross says, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

Glancing at him sideways, I roll my eyes at his devilish grin but don’t correct him. Let Cooper stew. I’d be sitting next to him if he hadn’t been a jerk earlier.

“Is that right?” Cooper mutters, before grabbing me up from my chair.

I squeal when he sits down and pulls me into his lap.

Beside us, Beast opens his eyes, swivels his head to Cooper and frowns. “What the fuck are you doing?”

“Sitting with my girl,” Cooper says rudely.

Beast’s brows slam over his eyes and I glance between them uneasily while Cross murmurs behind me, “Uh oh.”

“Here we go again,” Rafe mutters.

“Hey—“ I start.

“Get your hands off my cousin,” Beast says with a growl.

“Hm, I don’t think that’s an option. Minnie here agreed to be my girl. Right, baby?”

I shift uneasily, glancing at Cooper’s triumphant smile and even though this was my idea to get inside as ordered, Cooper’s glee creates havoc in my chest.

While they stare at each other in some sick twisted standoff, I stand, only to stumble.

Rafe raises his arms, but Cooper beats him to it and bewildered I watch Rafe smile wide before I stalk away.
