“I’m always up for the longest time on an evening, anyway,” Ryan continued.
“Cheers, Ryan,” Carter said. “Now, how do we put this to Lacey?”
“Ask me what?” I asked, strolling into the room after listening to everything they’d said.
Each of them turned and looked at me, a startled look on most of their faces. I smiled as they looked at me like they’d never seen a female in their lives. I gazed down at my body and back at them. “What’s wrong?”
Carter cleared his throat. “Your hair’s wet.”
I picked up my hair and moved it to the side and over my shoulder. “Yeah, sorry I washed it. Hope you don’t mind, I had a rummage through your drawers and found one of your T-shirts. I couldn’t find my clothes.”
Kane smirked, and his look was devious. “No apologies needed. You can have as many showers as you wish.”
“Did you just leer at me?” I asked, my brows knitted together as I frowned at him.
“Lacey, your top is wet,” Ryan said, interrupting, and I noticed a look of something wild flashing behind his eyes, he almost looked like he had an animal inside him. Of the four of them, that surprised me.
I lowered my eyes down to my body and shook my head, not seeing a problem. Pulled the T-shirt at the bottom hem, looked closer and noticed it was almost transparent over one of my boobs.
“Oh, my god.” I spread my hands across my breasts as heat instantly rose from my chest and my cheeks burned.
“That’s right, give them a squeeze,” Kane whispered, but loud enough to hear.
I stormed over to him, grabbed his hand, and placed it over my tit, and hissed, “here, is this better for you?”
“This is.” He tweaked my nipple, and it sent an electric current to my core and I should have pulled away immediately but didn’t. I didn’t know if it was because I liked it or if it was because it stunned me. But when a large arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me backwards, I didn’t need to think about it anymore. I glared at Kane. He stared back. Then I glanced over my shoulder to see Carter frowning, but his look was at Kane.
“You can put me down now.” I flexed my toes to the floor, waiting for the drop.
“Are you going to listen?” Carter said.
I sighed and glanced ahead because Kane, Seb and Ryan had gone far too quiet, and there was a look of shock as they stood with open mouths. Well, shocked wasn’t quite the word, because Seb swiped his tongue across his lips, the same way I had seen him do before then. Ryan was startled but Kane, not sure what was on his face.
I shook my head at them. “It’s just boobs, guys. I’m sure you’ve all seen them before,” I said. “Probably plenty… I’ll listen, now put me down.” I looked over my shoulder again.
“Nicely trimmed.” I heard but didn’t pick up who said it.
My head twisted around as I stared at each of them for a moment, my eyes quickly widened when it registered. I looked down and noticed the way Carter picked me up meant it totally exposed me to the other three guys.
“Oh my god, let me go,” I forced my heel into Carter’s leg with such pressure, even I winced at the thud.
“Shit, Lacey,” he shouted, and he dropped me.
I rushed out of the kitchen. “Where did you put my clothes?” I yelled as I stormed up the stairs, not looking back. I needed to get out of there. “And I changed my mind. I’m not listening, so whatever you’re thinking about—forget it. I’m not living with four immature arseholes.”
“The drawer under the bed,” Carter shouted back.
Fully dressed and less red-faced, I went back to the kitchen. “Will you take me home please, Carter?” I asked.
“We want to have a chat with you first,” Carter said. “Take a seat.”
“I heard you talking about bedrooms and I've told you that I’m not interested.”
“Just hear us out,” Carter said. “Then I’ll take you home.”
Begrudgingly, I took a seat with a huff. “Make it quick or I’ll call a taxi.” I glared at each of the guys, including Seb. They all gazed at me, probably because they now knew what my trimmed lady garden looked like. Though, Seb already did.
“We want you to move in here,” Carter started the conversation. “Clay isn’t happy about you being in the dorms.”
