“Come on, we’ll go work it off,” Brax said and lifted me in his arms.

“Do we have a bed? I haven’t even been upstairs.”

“Yeah, nice and big. Only thing I bought new after I got here. I’m not exactly a small man.”

“And aren’t I lucky.”

“In about two minutes, both of us are going to be,” Brax said, and kicked the door shut and proceeded to be true to his words.

Chapter Fourteen

Ghost

“Didn’t expect you’d be anxious to get down to business this morning,” Flirt remarked as we walked around the empty building where the club’s gym would be.

“Shit, I imagine it had to do with visitors at his place,” Crusher piped in and slapped me on the back. “Carly, Sami, and Bailey hit his place this morning. I tried to hold Carly off, but was informed they needed to go early because they wanted to help Luna get settled in.”

“I’d go with just wanting to be nosey,” Speed mumbled.

“Brother, are you not the president of this club?” Jag asked and looked at Crusher. I chuckled when Crusher flipped him off.

“Hey, once shower sex was offered, I kinda lost that caring feeling about the brother’s Saturday morning getting interrupted. Am I proud of that? No.But I am relaxed.”

“Wow, you have such a big heart,” Jag sneered.

“First of all, I know I have a heart because it was pounding in my chest when Carly’s lips wrapped—”

“Enough!” Speed yelled, cutting Crusher off, and catching the rest of us off guard. “Can we act like we have dicks, instead of vaginas? I get enough of that at home. And you,” he pointed at Crusher, “may beour prez, but I don’t want visuals of what my sister does with you. Jag,you’re mybrother, but you need to pull the stick out of your ass and stop snapping before one of us gets tired of your grouchy ass and snaps on you instead.”

I turned and dropped the end of the measuring tape on the floor. I walked backward while the tape rolled out, to hide the twitching of my lips. That had to be the most Speed said at one time,andthe interaction between these men was always amusing. Though I was close to them all, there was nothing that compared to the bond they shared with each other from growing up together. It would be hard to miss even if a person didn’t know their background.

“His problem isn’t a stick, it’s blue balls or should I say frozen balls,” Coast said as he walked over and placed his foot on the end of thetapeto hold it in place.

“Look who’s talking. Oh wait, you’renotbecauseshe’dhave to stop avoiding you, so you could talk toher,” Jag shot back.

I looked over at Flirt,andhe grinned and shrugged. Wouldn’t be the first time we had to break up a fight.

“Alright, knock the crap off. Damn, you guys have been some testy assholes lately. I was trying to give Ghost a hard time,andyou bunch could ruin a wet dream,” Crusher said just as the door swung open and Ally and Neely ran in with Devil behind them.

“Idontshave wet dreams. Right, Daddy?” Ally said as she stopped in front of Speed. “Momma says big girlsdon'twet their panties.”

Speed looked at Crusher and lifted a brow, then squatted down to Ally. I chalked the floor, then started rolling the measuring tape up and worked not to laugh while I said a silent prayer that Luna and I had a boy.

“You sure are a big girl. Uncle Russ was just telling us about when he was little and wet himself when he was sleeping,” Speed said, then stood.

“Gross,” Neelysaidand wrinkled her nose while she looked at Crusher. There was a brief pause, then we all laughed at Crusher’s expense while he glared at us.

I wasn’t sure who the adults were in the room,the little girls or us. What I was sure of—Ally and Neely were Karma’s payback for my brothers.

“If you as...” Crusher cleared his throat, “If we’re done goofing off, can we get back to business?”

“Please, I just got here. Goofing off is far from what I’ve been doing,” Dev said.

“What have you been doing, brother? When we were ready to leave you said you would be right behind us because you overslept,” Coast asked.

“I would have been here sooner, but Bailey ran out with the other women to your house,” Devil said and pointed at me, “leaving Neely with me. Do you know how long it takes to get a pint-sized person to eat and brush their teeth? That’s not adding in that she changed outfits twice. I mean really, she’s three. How early do females pick up that trait? Then her hair. Do I look like someone who knows how to braid?It takesforever just to do a ponytail.”

“Well, at least that explains the mixed matched clothes,” Flirt said low enough to Coast and me, so no one else heard.
