I start to sit up, ready to pounce on him, but Jade holds me down. She turns to him, uncaring that one of her breasts pops out in the process. I immediately cover it with my hand. She practically growls at him. “I happen to not be a stripper but have plenty of friends who are. All are single moms doing what’s necessary to put food on the table. None are hookers. All of them let losers like you look at their beautiful bodies just to make ends meet. Take your judgmental, limp, small dick and fuck off. Who the hell do you think you are?”

I let out a loud laugh. “Jade, this is my oldest brother, Mac. And you’re right, he does have a small dick. Mine is way bigger.”

Braden and Shane chuckle.

Jade holds out her hand, completely naked, in the bucket of an excavator, with my hand covering her breast, and with a straight face says, “Lovely to meet you, Mac.”

He finally breaks into a small smile as he shakes her hand in return. He turns his head to me and in a stern voice says, “Collin.”

“I know. Throw our clothes in here and lift us back up out of sight.”

We’re hit by a shower of our clothes and then a ride back to the top. When it stops, we immediately start to dress.

She looks up at me. “Your brother is a douche.”

I nod. “Totally.”

“I don’t like how he spoke to you.”

“To me? He called you the stripper.”

“He doesn’t know me. I don’t care. You’re his brother and he spoke down to you. Fuck him. You don’t deserve that.”

She’s not wrong.

“Do you really know a lot of strippers? Let’s hang with your friends more often.”

She rolls her eyes. “No, I don’t know any. In movies, all strippers do it to provide for their kids. I improvised.”

“He really got to you.”

“He treated you like shit. That bothered me. It should bother you too. Don’t let him talk to you like that. No one should.”

I shrug. “I guess I’m the family screw-up. I let them get their punches in. I’m mostly happy with my life. I try not to let it bother me. It’s always been this way.”

She zips her jeans and then gives me a quick kiss. “It’s bullshit, Collin. You’re better than him. Look at what you created. You’re more talented than him, you’re better-looking than him, you obviously have a better personality than him, and you probably have a bigger dick than him. He’s jealous. Plain and simple.”

I pull her body to mine and kiss her neck. “I definitely have a bigger dick than him.”

She pushes me away. “I’m serious. I’m about to rain holy hell on him. Let him fucking talk to you like that in front of me again.”

“Are you going to kick his ass?”

“If I have to.”

“You’re sexy when you get mad.”

She flips her hair. “I’m always sexy.”

“True. Now sit so we can be lowered down. Let’s do our walk of shame.”

“I’m not ashamed. I’ll pimp walk out of here with my head held high.”

Yep, I might have found the perfect woman.
