“Either way, we need him here.”
“Why?” He lobbed back.
“Because.” I sighed, “There are…” I threw my hand up in frustration and then sighed, “Never mind. You wouldn’t understand.”
“Why wouldn’t I understand?”
“Because you don’t have anyone to take care of like us, and you’re not a girl yourself. So, you just don’t get it.”
“Try me.” He contested, running his thumb back and forth over his bottom lip. I doubted he meant anything by it, but it made me want to taste the flesh he rubbed and made it hard to focus.
“Why do you care?” I threw back, shaking my head. “I’ll just wake him up so you two can be on your way.” I reached over to my brother, but Fox moved faster than I did, and he grabbed my arm and pulled it away from my brother’s shoulder before I touched him.
His fingers were hot wrapped around my wrist and his face was right in front of mine as he leaned over the bed. “Tell me why you need him here with you, Delilah.”
He didn’t pull back, his face stayed only inches from mine and his green eyes mesmerized me. I’d never been this close to him before.
I licked my lips and swallowed, and his eyes flited down to my lips before snapping back up.
“Because we get hassled when he’s gone.” I whispered.
His jaw clenched, making the muscles in his cheeks pop and roll under the skin. “By who?” His voice was menacing and low, and I shivered. He cocked his head to the side and moved my arm back to my lap sliding his palm over the sensitive skin of my inner wrist. “Who, Delilah?”
“The neighbors.” I nodded my head towards my window looking over the backyard and to the house behind ours.
“JJ.” His eyes were glowing with something intense, and I felt compelled to give him anything he wanted in that moment. “What does he do?”
“He just hassles me.”
“When?” He snapped, “How, Delilah?”
My brother stirred next to me and popped his head up, glaring sleepily at his best friend and me as we faced off with his hand still on me. “What the fuck’s going on?”
“JJ’s been harassing your sisters when you’re not here.” Fox bit out, “Did you know that?”
“What?” Blaine snapped, sitting up and scrubbing his hand over his face. “What do you mean? What are you doing here man?”
Fox didn’t look at my brother, he never pulled his eyes from mine or backed up, “Tell me what he does to you.” He asked again.
I swallowed, aware of Blaine’s eyes on us and how my arm still burned from Fox’s touch. “He bangs on the doors and throws things at the windows. Calls out obscenities, all night sometimes.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that?” Blaine cursed, standing up and pacing the room.
“Because you’re-.” I paused and shook my head, hating the accusation that burned the back of my throat.
“Because I’m not around.” He finished for me, and Fox let go of my arm and leaned back a bit.
“Blaine-.” I started and stopped, not sure what to even say, because he was right.
“I’ll take care of it.” He said, nodding to Fox. “Let’s go.”
“What?” I cried, unfolding my legs, and standing up as Fox rose and followed my brother out of my room. “No,” I panicked.
JJ and his crew next door were bad news. They didn’t belong to any club or gang in the area, which meant they had no rules or consequences to follow. They had no leader to keep them in line. They just wreaked havoc on everyone because they could.
And Fox and Blaine’s MC, the Rust Hawks had been bothered by them for some time now.
“Please, Blaine.” I followed them down the hallway and down the stairs. Fox was between me, and my brother and I clawed at his arm to get around him. “Don’t do anything Blaine!”
