"You take CEO then."
"And miss the marketing train? No way. You have no idea how much fun it is. Come on, Jay! The Sterling brothers are going to be a trio again. I need a partner in crime. This is where you belong."
He's pulling out the big guns by calling me Jay. Mom used to call me Jay. It's like cutting my Achilles'; he knows I'll bend now.
"I belong with my men," I mutter.
His eyes narrow, and he looks upset. When I joined the Army Special Forces, Kent didn’t speak to me for a month. A month without speaking to me was hard for someone like Kent. He talked incessantly as a child, rivaling any female I have ever met. Theo and I used to fake ear infections so Kent would feel bad and stop talking.
After I was deployed, Kent went on a month-long pouting fest, causing such a tabloid frenzy that our father had to step in. Kent relented and answered when I called. He told me about a threesome he had with two twins he met in Toronto. He also spent thirty million dollars on those two twins. He bought them each a penthouse. To say my father was angry would be an understatement.
"And what about your brothers? When will you belong to us again? Is it going to be when they send you home in a coffin?"
"That can’t happen now." I quip.
Kent doesn’t laugh.
"It never would have happened," I reassure him.
"Are we such bad company?" He questions. The pain in his voice feels like shards of glass slowly cutting me.
That’s when I confront my reality head-on. Like I always do. I'll accept my fate as CEO so my brothers can remain happy. Theo will continue to design weapons, and Kent can sell them. I might be miserable, but my brothers will be happy. That’s all I care about.
“No,” I hug him awkwardly with one arm since my other is in a sling. “I just needed to try to make it on my own.”
“You did.”
I nod.I wanted to do more.
“I have conditions.” I change my tone and try to sound happy.
“Name them. Blonde, brunette, exotic... have you ever tried blue hair? Jesus, it’s fun, you feel like your fucking a ‘User’ from the movie Tron.”
“Kent,” I warn as I push him from my hold.
“Ok, boring old sexy nurse coming your way.” Kent goofily smirks. “I can call Nurse Betty back.” He elbows me.
I roll my eyes. “I want a corner office.”
“Done. CEO gets his own floor.”
“I want to be on the test team, hands-on.” If I have to wear a suit and sit in a board room every day, I’ll lose my mind.
He raises his brow, his eyes tracking my broken shoulder. “Ok... don’t look at me that way. Done.”
“I don’t want you to bring your harem of women around me. I don’t need a matchmaker.”
“I don’t matchmake.” He runs a hand through his styled hair. “I provide nightly entertainment that seeks your company.”
“They seek my wallet, and I’m not interested.” After my last girlfriend cheated on me while I was deployed, I’ve lost my taste for relationships.
“Is there something you want to tell me?” His eyes glance at my cock, “Has middle age hit you early? There’s a little blue pill for that.”
I grab my pillow and chuck it at his head. “It works just fine, and thirty-two isn’t middle-aged. The last time we went out, one chick kept dry-humping me like a Rottweiler with rabies. She fucking bit my neck like a vampire. The more I tried to get her off my thigh, the tighter she held on. I don’t know where the hell you find these women.”
He bends over and laughs, “I remember. She was batshit crazy. Theo paid me to do that.”
“You little shit.”
