Leo worried his lip between his teeth. “Okay, I can think about it. No promises, though.”
Dad was up on his feet and rushing over to hug Leo, his smile wide. He winked at me when he caught my eye, and I only shook my head. He pressed a kiss to Leo’s forehead before he reached over to touch my shoulder. My throat felt tight, and I was terrified Dad could see everything I was feeling on my face. I felt a hand on my thigh and looked down to see it was Leo.
“We should go look at the guesthouse,” he suggested. “You know, so I can get a good idea of where all my stuff is going to go. I have a lot of clothes.”
“You two are totally going to bang. Ouch! Stop hitting me, Ford, or I swear to God!” Lucas exclaimed. When he stood up, hetowered over our foster brother. Lucas was taller than I was and about even with Pops at this point.
Ford shrank away. “I’m sorry. I was only kidding. I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“It’s not fucking funny,” Lucas growled, and I saw the moment he wished he hadn’t.
Ford’s chin quivered, then he dashed out of the kitchen. Felix was right behind him.
Pops grunted. “You’re grounded, Lucas.”
“Me? Ford is the one who kept hitting me. I’m eighteen! This is such bullshit.” He made sure to slam the front door behind him when he walked out of the house.
Dad only giggled and climbed back into Pop’s lap. “Like I said, it’s good to have all the boys back home and under one roof again. I missed this. All the bickering and laughing. We’re a family again.”
Yeah, I kind of missed it, too.
Chapter Ten
Leo
After lunch, Andy and I headed outside to check out the guesthouse. I shoved my hands back into the pockets of my jeans so I wouldn’t touch him, but my fingers itched to do it. Grab him and never let go. I had already gotten too comfortable with him, and it had to stop before it got out of control. Andy pushed open the door to the guesthouse and motioned for me to go inside first. It wasn’t a giant place. It had an open floor plan with two bedrooms nestled in the back. My gaze traveled over every inch, my heart hammering against my chest as I remembered everything we had done.
Right there, Andy sucked my cock for the first time as I sat on the counter, his lips pressed to mine while he peeled my pants down my legs. The moment his mouth wrapped around me,
I came in a matter of seconds. And there, on the floor by the couch, I had given him my first blowjob. Gagging, drooling, and coughing through the entire thing, but I had loved it. Though not as much as Andy did.
Suddenly, I was gasping for air. I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t share a house with Andy. Not after all the broken promises and excuses he gave me. I would have to see him bring home a date, hear them together... And now I thought I was going to be sick. I shoved past Andy, out the door, and into the fresh air, gulping it into my lungs.
“Ricky?” Andy pressed a hand to my shoulder, the warmth of his skin seeping through my shirt, and I quickly shoved him away. “I’m sorry, I just... I wanted to comfort you.”
I spun around to stare at him, tears slipping down my cheeks. “Comfort me? You want to comfort me? Maybe if you go back in time and don’t break up with me. Then maybe I wouldn’t feellike my heart was being ripped from my chest again.” I took a step back when he reached for me again. “Don’t.”
“It’s hard for me, too,” Andy confessed, and I didn’t miss the way his voice trembled.
I barked out a laugh. “Is it really?” I brushed the wetness from my face. “We can’t live together. I can’t be around you and watch you with someone else. Fall in love or whatever. It will break me.”
“I wouldn’t do that to you. I don’t know what else to say but that I’m sorry. I know I’ve said that over and over again, but I mean it. It hurt me, too,” Andy whispered, his chin quivering. “I love—”
I clamped my hands over my ears. “Don’t you dare! This was a terrible idea. I shouldn’t have let you stay with me, and I shouldn’t have come here with you today. This is all your fault. All of this! We should be living here, together, happy, and in love, but instead, you decided to break up with me. You said you didn’t love me anymore. You can’t have it both ways. Just stop lying and leave me alone.”
I left him standing outside the guesthouse as I hurried to get away from him as fast as I could. I probably should have left, but instead I found my way inside. I ignored Maverick as he called out to me and found myself going right up the stairs. And standing outside Felix and Ford’s bedroom.
I squared my shoulders, knocked on the door, and waited. I could hear the sound of soft talking, followed by footsteps, and then the door unlocked to show me Ford. His perfectly sculpted brows shot up as he stared at me. I envied the flawless makeup, his body-hugging clothes, and in general, the way he carried himself, because that used to be me.
“Oh, hey, Leo.” He smiled. “What’s up?”
Felix slowly moved behind his brother. “What do you want?” He placed a protective hand on his twin’s shoulder.
Their identical hazel eyes stared at me; the lips pressed into a firm line. When I first met them, I couldn’t tell them apart, but now... now it was easy. Not just because Ford dressed more like me, but because Felix’s eyes were cold and angry while Ford’s sparkled with something wild and fascinating. Like he was ready to take on the world.
“I need to talk to you about Andy.” I kept my voice down, so it didn’t travel downstairs into the living room. Maverick and Jackson didn’t need to hear this yet.
Felix chuckled. “I bet you do. Get lost, Leo. We don’t want to talk to you.”
