"I might have," I said evasively. I did, though. I got more and more attached to both of them by the day. If I was honest with myself, I was falling for them. They could be possessive assholes, but they looked out for me. Make sure I had everything I needed. No one else had done that for me before. I wouldn't offend them by calling them sweet, but they had their moments.
"I was wondering if either of you knew how to find a tracking device on a car?"
Connor stared at me for a moment before grabbing my wrist and pulling me inside.
"What the hell are you talking about?" He closed the door behind us. "If Josiah?—"
I put a hand on his chest. "This isn't about Josiah. It's about my stepbrother, Brooks." I quickly explained about the tracker on my car and the app on my phone.
Riley put his hand out until I placed my phone on his palm. He opened it using the pin code. He must have watched me and memorised it.
These men.
He squinted at the screen and swiped until he found what he was looking for. "There, deleted. Very subtle, masking that as a news app. Those things are notoriously difficult to delete. And tend not to get noticed." He handed the phone back.
"I might have noticed if I knew it was there." I pushed my phone back into my pocket. "About my car?"
"That could be trickier." Connor's brows knitted. "We can take a look. If you want us to." He hooked an arm around meand pulled me to him. "You might get off on having another possessive man around."
I swallowed, unsure if I should tell him about the jewellery box camera and exactly how much of me Brooks had seen. These two might throw him over the Aurora Falls if they didn't like what they heard.
"Out with it," Connor insisted. "What did the fucker do?" He looked as though he might deal with Brooks regardless of what I said.
"Did you fuck him?" Riley asked. He looked disappointed. Not at the idea that I was with someone else, but at the thought he wasn't there to watch.
These men and their watching.
"No, I did not fuck him," I said clearly. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and told them everything else.
"He was stalking you?" Connor looked at me sideways, clearly not having made up his mind about how he felt about that.
"I… I suppose you could call it that," I said uncertainly. When he put it that way, I should probably be more worried about Brooks' behaviour than I was. He liked to try to provoke me, but I didn't think he meant any specific harm.
"Is it wrong that I think it's hot he was watching?" Riley asked, wincing. "I mean, if I was Leah's stepbrother, I'd also watch."
"You would fucking not," Connor told him. "You'd go in there and fuck her. So would I."
"You're right," Riley conceded. "Brooks has more restraint than I do. When you think about it, that's pretty impressive. He must have a really muscular hand."
I couldn't help laughing at that. Thinking about Brooks being sexually frustrated from watching me was…honestly, his own fault.
"He never made a move on you?" Connor asked.
"Never," I said. I sank down on Connor's couch, a dark grey sectional that contrasted with the rustic vibe of the rest of the place. Not to mention the pale, floral wallpaper that looked as though it had decorated the walls for longer than I'd been alive.
"What I can't understand iswhyhe did it. I've always thought he hated me. Why would he want to watch me get off?"
Riley sat beside me. "Have you seen yourself? Even if I hated you, I'd want to watch you orgasm. You're fucking hot."
"Riley's right." Connor perched on the coffee table. "I couldn't stand you when I first met you, but I still wanted to fuck you. I know vice versa is true." He flicked his finger back and forth between me and himself.
"When we first met, fucking wasn't my initial reaction to you," I said dryly. "Flipping you off and proving to you that you couldn't force me to leave town is more accurate."
Connor snorted. "All of that while you were wet for me, honey. You don't have to admit it, we all know it's true."
"No one could ever accuse you of having a tiny ego," I teased.
He smirked. "I don't have a tiny anything."
