Looking especially proud of herself, she wears a smug smile, and I can’t help but return the expression. I don’t like many people. Hell, I don’t particularly like Mia, but she almost forces people into her web. She wraps herself around us so we can’t help but care about her.
She’s just lost. Which is understandable given that, like me, she doesn’t have a mother.
I settle myself against the wall, folding my arms and tipping my head back until it meets the surface behind me. “Thank you. But teach her how to make a fucking cup of coffee, okay? I don’t need customers complaining about waiting fifteen minutes for a latte because you were giving your professor a blow job.”
Mia shrugs, her eyes lighting up. “He went down on me, but whatever.”
I shake my head. “You’re worth more than this, Mi,” I murmur, kicking off the wall and holding my hand out to her.
She takes it and stands next to me. When I pull her in and hug her tight, she sighs against my chest. “I’ve been in love with her since we were kids,” she whispers.
I tip my head back and study the ceiling. That’d be my luck. The first girl to pique my interest in years doesn’t like men.
“Have you told her that?” I ask.
Mia pulls back and worries her bottom lip between her teeth. “I’m not good enough for her.”
I glower and lift her chin so she’s forced to look at me. “Stop sucking cocks and screwing professors and maybe you will be.”
She smiles. “But I like cock.”
I roll my eyes. “Then let her go.”
She raises her brows and bites her bottom lip, this time in a seductive tease. “You could give me your cock, and I could have her. We could be the perfect throuple. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind watching.”
I shake my head. “Raise your standards, Mi. In the meantime, please don’t fuck her in my shop. I need you to take this seriously.”
She holds up two fingers. “Scout’s honor.”
I chuckle and step back. “Do you even know what that means?”
She shrugs. “Nope. But since I gave you a blow job, I deserve a steak!”
Laughter echoes from outside my bedroom door at her declaration. I roll my eyes at Mia and hold out my hand. “Let’s grab dinner, you psycho.”
In the hall, we’re met by my roommate. “You guys having fun in there?” he asks, a knowing smirk on his face.
Mia immediately moves into his arms. “Want to join us for dinner?” she asks.
“No can do,” he says to Mia. “Meeting my sister. Wanna join?” he asks, turning to me.
I’m too fucking tired to put on a show for the next two hours, so I shake my head. “Nah, Mia and I need to go over coffee shop business. Don’t want to bore you.”
He nods and puts his hands in his pockets. “All right, enjoy thesteak,” he says to Mia with a knowing wink.
“She didn’t,” I mutter, though I shouldn’t care whether he thinks we fucked.
He bites his lip as he gives Mia a once-over. Her barely there dress shows off the creamy white perfection of her long as fuck legs, and if I didn’t know they’d been wrapped around half of the city, maybe I’d have an interest in sliding between them.
“Night, Carter,” Mia says with a wink.

EVERYTHING YOU WANT BY VERTICAL HORIZON
CAT
“What time will Cash be here?” I ask Carter while we wait at the bar for our younger brother to arrive. Cash is staying with Carter for the weekend to check out Brown. Which is a waste of time, in my opinion. There’s no doubt he’ll enroll here when he graduates next year. I’m the only James who’s bucked that tradition.
