Emmett steps to the side of the road as I turn my car into his drive. “Get lost, Goldilocks?”
That’s when I remember I never rolled up the window like Ben told me to.
“Wrong story.” My hand moves to roll up the window.
He leans in, crossing his arms on the edge of my car door, his head coming past the line of appropriate distance. “But my brothers and I are like the three bears, and only one of us would be just right for you.” He grins at me.
I shift the transmission into reverse to get out of here even if I have to run him over. “Red Riding Hood was the one lost in the woods.”
“Oh, I like that better. I’m the big bad wolf, and you’re the lost innocent girl?”
“You’re more like a yappy Chihuahua.”
He draws back for a moment. “Honey, I’m a Doberman.”
My eyes narrow on him. “I’m curious, what kind of mirrors are in your house?”
He leans in further, closing in on me. “Why? Are you interested in watching me fuck you?”
“For the one whole minute you’d last?” I press my finger on the window button.
“One night with me, and you’d be ruined for life.”
“Emmett!” Ben’s voice rings out in the night air.
Emmett laughs, having no choice but to step back or get pinched by the window. Once it’s closed, I start backing up to turn around, but my passenger car door opens. I slam on the brakes.
Emmett climbs in, placing a bag on the floor by his feet.
“What are you doing?”
“Being a gentleman and showing you the way.” His tone is as if he said duh, what do you think I’m doing?
“A gentleman? You?” I put the car in drive to get this over with because I’ve met men like Emmett, and rarely do they listen to anything but what their tiny little brains tell them to do.
“Yeah.” He shrugs and points ahead of him. “Continue this way.”
“No shit.”
He rolls down the window, and when we get to Ben, I stop. Emmett hangs out of the window, both arms stretched toward the ground. “I’ll show her the way. See you there.”
“Bullshit.” Ben moves for the handle of my two-door car, and Emmett slaps it away, locking the car manually.
“Emmett, I’m tired, and I don’t wanna deal with your shit today,” Ben says.
I’ve never heard Ben with so much anger or annoyance in his tone. Then again, I only briefly knew him when I was younger, and he dated Gillian. They reunited after he returned to Willowbrook when he retired as a pro football player.
“We’ll see you at the house,” Emmett says. “I’ll take good care of my sister.”
“Emmett…” Ben’s tone is like a warning, but even I know Emmett is going to get off on him being mad.
“Ben,” he mimics his brother’s tone, rolling up his window. “Go ahead, sweetheart.”
“Don’t call me that.”
Emmett turns toward me, and I purposely drive slowly so Ben can keep up. “Everyone likes me, everyone but you.”
“That’s what your ego tells you.”
