Chapter 18
Phoenix
Once things get crazy,I signal Bowie, and we leave with Bambi. When we get outside, we hear Ares yelling at Orion. “Hold on,” I say to both Bowie and Bambi.
I walk over to where they are standing; I know Orion has his eyes sharp on what Ares could do next. As the baby brother, they try not to do shit to me, it’s been this way since we were younger. “So, you found out you’re married too, huh?”
“You knew too?” He turns to me, growling.
“Rule,” I call out.
Ares glares at me. I know that I shouldn’t pull such childish shit, but it’s our safe word with each other for fighting. I don’t particularly want to fight, I’m horny as fuck.
“Tell me how the FUCK did you forge my shit, Ry, and why?”
“I have my reasons and it’s easy to forge your shit. You’re my brother. We look alike.”
Ares steps to him, and I stop him with a hand to his chest. “Kai is watching from the window, chill,” I say.
Ares turns to Kai. We all do, and we wave at him. Kai smiles and waves back. He goes from the window to joining Ainslee on the dance floor. Ares looks back at Orion. “Tell me,” he demands.
“No,” Orion says. One thing that people need to understand is that Orion is the most stubborn Moralis alive.
Ares nods and runs his tongue over his teeth. He looks away making sure Kai isn’t back at the window then he swings low punching Orion in the gut. Orion doesn’t even make a sound. He just bends over so he could breathe, which means Ares did not pull any punches. Orion breathes through the pain because I know he wants to retaliate. I can see it in the way his fingers are digging into his knees. “We’re not fucking done,” Ares threatens.
“Fine, but next time, I’m going to knock your fucking teeth in,” Orion says. “I might need to stab you for thinking you could flip out like that on me.”
Ares chuckles. “Bring it, bitch.” Ares turns to walk away.
“At least she’s cute,” Orion says and Ares turns back around charging at him. I step in front of Orion, stopping Ares.
“He found someone,” I blurt out.
Orion straightens up and looks at me. “How...never mind,” he says.
Ares looks at Orion, the anger is momentarily gone because this is new for us. Orion finding someone is damn near nonexistent with the Easter Bunny. “Who?” Ares asks.
“She’s not from here,” Orion answers.
“Where is she from Ry? Do you love her?” Ares asks.
“I don’t know but I like her company. That's all I know, and she’s from Fairhope.”
“Alabama or the peninsula?” Ares asks.
“As in where Deacon Fairhope from band camp, Fairhope,” Orion answers.
Ares snickers. “You still talk to that fucker?” he asks.
“From time to time when I don’t want to strangle him and his over the top Stetson wearing hat ass,” Orion says.
I laugh. Deacon Fairhope would make love with his Stetson on. I shake my head. “Apparently Annabelle broke their engagement off.”
Ares rolls his eyes. “That fucker is still in love with Kimberly?”
“Don’t think he has much of a choice,” Orion says but doesn’t elaborate. “Anyway, Nix, go enjoy your wife and marriage.”
“Alright, assholes, excuse me while I go swim in my wife’s pussy. Have a great night breaking each other’s dicks.”
