I rolled my eyes and reread the flyer.
“It’s not even a hurricane and you’re having a party?”
“Who cares? A party’s a party,” Rohan said. “And… like I said, it’s tradition.”
“I know it’s tradition, but do you really think it’s wise to have the party here? Do you enjoy drowning?”
“Occasionally,” Luke said, and Rohan slapped his arm.
“TMI,” I said.
“We’ll be fine,” Rohan said. “Worst case scenario, we turn to water sports.”
“Ew!” I said. “You guys are gross. Now, where’s my beer? I was promised good European beer and yet I have none.”
Rohan got up and laughed. “Yes, boss,” he said and went to grab our drinks.
What I wouldn’t give to hear these words from my own boss instead. But damn it, he was… you know, my boss.
“What’s up with you?” Luke asked, clicking his fingers in front of my face.
I turned my attention back to my brother and shook my head.
“Nothing. I was just…” Thinking about Adam? No, definitely not. I couldn’t give Luke that kind of information. He was already a pain in the butt about it since I’d told him who my new boss was. “Just thinking about work. It was a busy day,” I ended up saying.
He tightened his eyes and intensified his glare with a pout.
“Work. Right. That’s all you’re thinking about,” he said.
“Who’sthinkingaboutwhatnow?” Rohan said, returning to the table with a tray with three bottles of beer and glasses on it.
“Nothing,” I said, grabbing a glass and a bottle as he sat back down.
“We’re talking about Charlie and his new boyfriend,” Luke said.
I snapped my head around to check if there were any prying ears, but thankfully, we were the only customers. Well, thankfully for me, probably not for Rohan.
“Will you keep it down, woman? I don’t have a boyfriend, and the last thing I need right now is for any busybody to think Dr. Kravitz and I are an item,” I whisper-shouted at him.
Rohan raised his finger in front of him pointedly and said, “Fair, but there’s no one here, so not a valid point.”
Great. So now I was being ambushed by my brotherandhis fuck buddy. Fucking awesome.
“How’s it going with the new doc? I still haven’t bumped into him, but Luke tells me he’s a hunk. Have you got under him yet? Have you been playing doctor?” Rohan laughed at his own joke, but I only gave him a side-eye.
“That is none of your business, thank you very much, please and thank you,” I told him.
“Oh, come on. Don’t be such a spoilsport,” he replied.
“Just give it up, Ro. He won’t talk. I’ve been badgering him since day one to say more, but he won’t,” Luke said and took a sip of his beer.
“Oh, really? Did something happen?”
Memories of his hot lips on mine, his hard cock in my hand, and the sound of his whimpering flooded my head, but I tried to act nonchalant and instead sipped my beer.
“Nothing happened,” I mumbled.
Rohan raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to me.
