Page 26 of My Brother's Teammates

I thumped my head against the floor as I listened to her and told myself that I’d destroy the guy when I found out who he was.

“Sorry. You don’t want to hear about that. I’m just nervous. About your penis, I mean.”

I laughed and found the pain was less excruciating. “It’ll be fine.”

“That’s good.” She giggled. “For whoever you use it on, I mean. I’m not saying it’ll be me, or suggesting I-”

I grabbed her upper arm and pulled her down next to me. “Shut up, Jenny.”

She curled into my side and wrapped her arm over my chest. “Good call.”

I laced my fingers through hers and tried to ignore the way my stomach fluttered at the same time her breath caught. I wasn’t the guy who read into things. I wasn’t the guy who had things to read into. Yet, it occurred to me that she fit perfectly against me. “We’ve never gone for the same woman before.”

She pressed her face into my shoulder. “Why now?”

“Don’t know. We aren’t exactly sharing notes.”

“How much of the stuff you said about this place was true?”

I silently begged my dick to stop being a baby so I could steal more time away with Jenny before we had to go back to the real world. I could tell by the light shining into the room that we’d both have a class to get to soon. “Everything up to Ida Elaine.”

“Does your dad still parade you around?” She reached up and touched my hair. “Does he like this?”

“I have obligations as a DuPont. His words, not mine. My days of skipping out of them are over, unfortunately.” I rubbed my jaw and felt the beard growth there that he would definitely hate. “He can’t say much about my hair. His mother was Cherokee and his brother, my Uncle Damon, looks just like me. He probably wishes I’d look and act like him and his father, but saying so would probably make Grandma come back and haunt him, so he won’t.”

She smiled and stroked her fingers through it. “It’s beautiful. Even more so now that I know your grandma would fight your dad over it.”

I felt like a fucking cat, wanting to stroke my face into her soft hand and purr. Instead, I caught her hand and brought it to my lips. I kissed her palm and sighed against her fingertips. “Do you want to come back some other time?”

Those giant whiskey eyes brightened and she nodded. “Yes. I won’t injure you next time. Probably.”

I slowly sat up and groaned. I was feeling better, but I figured I’d milk it while I could. “We probably have a class to get to, don’t we?”

She frowned as she pulled her phone out of her bag and turned it on. I noticed as soon as she did a flood of messages came through. Her cheeks heated and she shoved it back in her bag before nodding. “If you take as long to walk as you did to sit up, we should’ve left thirty minutes ago.”

“Smart ass.”

She went up on her knees and kissed me. Sweet and innocent, it was a kiss I’d spend the rest of the day feeling on my lips. “We’re still going to talk about you eating all of my gummies.”

“Right after we talk about who this ex of yours is.”

She held out her hand after standing up like she thought she’d really be able to pull me up. “Maybe we don’t need to talk about the gummies, then.”

I grabbed her hand and tugged, causing her to fall into me. I shielded my dick that time and managed to not get injured. “How about I buy you all the gummies you could ever want if you talk to me about the ex?”

“How about no?”

I frowned. “Fine. Help me up then. I’m going to need a lot of support to make it to and through Intro to Psych, TA.”

“If you want to make it through, we should’ve spent this time studying.”

“Ouch.”

***Jenny***

JasonandAxelbothstood up and hurried to see what was going on when Hudson and I struggled into the lecture hall together. We were still a few minutes early, but Landon was already standing at his desk, frowning as he spotted me. I had my arms around Hudson’s waist, helping him walk after I’d injured him. It was the least I could do.

“What the hell?” Jason scowled at Hudson and nodded to where his hand was resting low on the front of my shoulder, going dangerously close to my boob.
