“I hate you both,” I said.
I watched my brothers walk off as the happy couple came giggling from the trees. I turned around and took in their grimy appearance. The mud stains on the guy’s knees, the leaves still in the woman’s hair, the flushed nature of their cheeks. The two of them went back there, found that damn gazebo, and fucked in it.
I wasn’t getting stuck cleaning that damn thing again. I was sending Andrew to do that shit.
“Have fun?” I asked as I brought the horses to a stop.
“Oh, yes,” the woman said. “So much fun.”
“Could we set up another ride for tomorrow?” the man asked.
“Of course. Sign up for a time at the front desk, and I’ll have ya all set to go,” I said.
“Thank you so much,” the woman said. “That was way too much fun.”
“I’m sure it was,” I said with a grin. “If you guys still wanna catch some lunch, the dinin’ hall’s servin’ it until three.”
“Thanks,” the man said. “Come on, honey. Let’s go get some food.”
I watched the two of them walk away, hand-in-hand and so completely in love. But I was more confused than ever. I loved Katie with everything inside of me. And even though it killed me to think about sharing her, I would if it got me a part of her.
I had to talk to Katie. I needed to know how she felt about me. It was crucial at this point to sway her to my side, to show her what she could have if she chose me. I was desperate to hold her again, to fuck her and show her exactly how I could make her feel for the rest of her life.
If choosing was what she was going to do, then I had to make sure she chose me.
CHAPTER 24
KATIE
“Wait, so you’re going dancing with all of them tonight?” Whitney asked over the video call.
“I am, yep.”
“And Lizzie’s going with you, right?” she asked.
“I am!” Lizzie said.
“How did this all come about again?” Whitney asked.
“I told you. There’s been some tension between the brothers lately, and I think all of us going out and dancing will be a way for all of the tension to dissipate,” I said.
“I know why they all got tension,” Lizzie said.
“Stop it,” Whitney said.
“It’s ‘cause they all wanna fuck her but can’t,” Lizzie said.
“Well, she’s already slept with two of them,” Whitney said.
“Well—”
“Wait. What the fuck are you not tellin’ me?” Lizzie asked.
“That’s a good question. I’m all ears,” Whitney said.
“I may—or may not—have slept with Andrew,” I said.
“You kinky little slut!” Lizzie said.
