“Hey, Marco,” CC chirps at him and he raises his chin.

“Not today, love,” Marco says into my ear before he kisses me on the neck. He’s been around CC and me enough to know we tell each other everything. There’s so much to say, but at this point it would only be details. We can easily read each other.

“We stopped by to get Elvis,” she says, letting me know they aren’t staying.

“You’re moving out.” It’s not a question because I know she is. She’s been head over heels for Aiden from the moment they met and he looks to be the same. Good. She deserves that. Fuck her parents for not loving her like they should have. It’s their loss. Now she belongs to all of us.

“Yeah.” She smiles at Aiden and they both look so in love. I wonder if that’s how Marco and I look.

“You should probably just give the place up.” My eyes jerk over to Marco.

“And why would I do that?” I tease, knowing what he means. After what we’ve done tonight I’m never sleeping in another bed unless he’s in it. “You think I want to live in some bachelor pad?”

“It’s not a bachelor pad.” He actually looks offended by my comment.

“She’s not fucking living with you.” My head jerks to the front door where I see Jason standing with my other two brothers.

“Shit, I forgot to lock the door,” CC mumbles.

“Who the fuck is that?” My brother points at Aiden, who picks CC up off his lap and sets her back down onto the sofa.

“Watch your tone,” I bark, but Aiden and Marco are already getting in front of us.

“What the fuck did you say?” Marco says as he takes a step forward.

“Here we go,” I mumble, wondering if I should let them go at it and get it over with. I’ve seen my brothers do this a time or two, but Marco isn’t their brother. Not yet anyway.

“Why don’t you go wait in bed for me?” Marco says, his voice soft and sweet. I roll my eyes, and my brother lets out a string of curses. “She could get hurt,” he snaps at them, and his tone is hard. It’s clear he’s not fucking around about this and the room goes deadly silent.

“Is this like the calm before the storm?” CC whispers as if the whole room can’t hear her.

I’m beginning to think she might be right.

Chapter Six

Marco

“Don’t you know how to knock?” I glare at Gia’s brother Jason.

“Not when it comes to my sister.” He looks at my bare chest and shakes his head. “Should have figured a snake like you would make a move on her the second you could.”

“Hey!” Gia shouts from behind me, and I hold up my hand.

“If you want to talk about my relationship with your sister, that’s alright with me. But before you get this twisted idea in your head, you should know I’m madly in love with her, and this has nothing to do with what you think about me.”

I watch her other brothers behind Jason and they look at each other in shock. Jason only glares at me and stomps forward.

“No,” he says.

“No?” Has he lost his mind? “You don’t get to dictate who she loves and who loves her.”

I charge forward and we’re toe to toe, but I’ve got a few inches on him. My body is shaking with anger right now. How fucking dare they come in and break the peace that Gia and I created. I was making love to her and spilling out my heart. It’s something I’ve never done before and he waltzes in and destroys it.

“She’s our sister.” I can see one of his brothers tugging on his arms to hold him back, but maybe this is what he needs.

“I never said she wasn’t. The bullshit you have with me is from a long time ago.”

“Some things don’t just go away.”

“I think it’s time someone tells me what the hell is going on,” Gia says as she steps up beside me and crosses her arms. “I don’t care who it is, but I want to know why the mention of Marco’s name sent you all into a frenzy. And why you’re ready to let this come to blows now.”

“Jason thinks that I did a deal with another company to try and put him under,” I say, and Jason rolls his eyes.

“That’s what I think? Your takeover put me out of business and nearly ruined my name around town.”

“You wouldn’t agree to the terms and I had to make a decision that was best for our company.” I shake my head. “It wasn’t personal.”

“It was personal to me.” He looks over at Gia and points at me. “He’s a snake, and the first chance he gets he’s going to leave you. That’s what he does.”
