The sound of glass shattering has me jumping out of bed, and the pressure of weight on my leg sends a shock wave of pain through my body. I ignore it—there is no way I’m having a cast put on again, so I will tough it out.

I open my door and run out into the hall, reaching the staircase which leads down to the main foyer. Harper stands there with glass scattered at her feet, yet as I move my naked ass down the stairs two at a time, she doesn’t turn to face me, instead looking out the front door.

“Fuck you!” I hear Sullivan yell as Ronan steps into the foyer.

“You have shoes on, help Harper,” I say while running outside.

At the bottom of the stairs, Darragh is on the ground. From his disheveled appearance, I wonder if he was thrown down. Then Van follows him with a bellow, jumping down the stairs like some fucking villain from a Marvel movie.

Darragh pops to his feet in one swift move as Van’s feet touch the ground, and he swings his fist in retaliation but misses him completely.

“You put your fucking hands on her again!” Van shouts.

“And she loved every second,” Darragh taunts.

Van swings this time, his fist connecting with Darragh’s nose, and blood sprays everywhere. I hadn’t even noticed the car pull into our driveway, but Nora jumps out and launches herself onto Van’s back, wrapping her arm tightly around his neck.

“Fucking stop, Van. You’re two seconds away from saying goodnight,” she yells.

Van halts—he knows she is telling the truth. The bitch can send you to sleep with her pressure point bullshit; I have seen it with my own eyes.

“And why the fuck are you naked? It’s gross, no one wants to see that thing.”

I scoff. “I would have you know, this is a very nice cock.”

“He isn’t lying,” Darragh says, pinching his nose, which I don’t think will help if it’s broken.

Nora looks between Darragh and me and shakes her head. “It’s about time, but I need you to get your asses inside now. We have business to take care of. And for the love of sushi, would you find some pants? You’re my cousin and I’m not impressed.”

I snort. “Second cousin, we could legally get married.”

Nora slides off Van’s back and makes a gagging sound before strutting into the house, and we all follow behind her. Ronan is inside the foyer sweeping up the glass, while Harper sits on the stairs.

She looks up as we walk in, and her eyes go wide when I thrust my hips and my cock swings. “I’ll get you some sweats,” she says, and I nod.

“Thanks. Nora keeps telling me my cock is not impressive, and I’m getting a complex.”

Harper chuckles and shakes her head as she walks up the stairs, then comes back two minutes later and throws down a pair of gray sweats from the second level with a wink.

“You wearing those is very impressive,” Harper says, walking all the way down the stairs and looking at my crotch as I pull the sweats up.

I laugh and throw my arm around her shoulders, leading her into the kitchen where the others vanished.

Nora is helping Darragh with his nose. The distinct sound of her setting his nose has Harper shuddering in my arms. Ronan has his back to the scene, the blood most likely making him queasy.

“All fixed. Next time duck, for fuck’s sake. You’re too pretty to have your face flattened,” Nora jokes.

“It could fix his personality flaws,” Harper jokes.

Nora’s laser-sharp gaze flicks to her as if she hadn’t realized Harper was even in the room. But I know my cousin well enough to understand she’s already aware of exactly how many people are in the building, including any staff.

“Do you want to get your little pet to keep herself busy while the adults talk?”

Harper doesn’t react with anger to Nora, instead replying, “Guess I will go count all the ridiculous clothes in my closet.”

I laugh at her spunk, but I’m ready to jump in if Nora goes postal; she is unpredictable at best. Thankfully, Nora laughs.

“I like this one.”
