When we got ho, hot bath Before I reached the doorway to my room, I heard Chloe behind me

"Ummm…Allie? Do you think…could I talk to you for a second?" she asked, hesitantly

I nodded at her, curious to see what she wanted to talk about Ithat Brandon and Jackson were also watching very curiously She cae of my bed "What’s up?" I asked

She sed audibly "Well, I just don’t want you to think that I’m…I don’t want to be in your way"

"Chloe where the hell would you get an idea like that? You’re Jackson’s sister, where else would you go?" I shook ave you that impression, because that’s not it at all I just wish there was so I could say to make it better for you I don’t even really know the whole story, just the little bits you told , so you don’t have to worry about that, and I’ to pry into your business," I said firmly

"I really don’t want to talk about it I haven’t even really said h I know it pisses hilad the bruises are fading But, it’s just…well, the other night you came by the room and saw Brandon in bed withto hatewith hi time, him and Luke, and-"

I cut her off with a wave Ti like that) "I don’t think you’re trying anything with hihtmares, he heard you and wanted to help I don’t have a probleave you that impression, then I’ with your brother and Brandon is so new to me…I…yeah, I don’t know I’m sorry if I upset you"

She shook her head at me vehemently "You didn’t upset me at all! I just was so scared that you were mad And I haven’t really taken the ti you’ve done for me You tooklike I’d gone twelve rounds with Mike Tyson" She chuckled wryly at her own s with you guys and you’ve been so nice…everyone has been so great about everything"

IShe wrapped her arhtly for abreath and knew that I’d just taken a weight off of her shoulders Which made me feel like an ass

At that moment, my bedroom door opened and Brandon popped his head in I watched his lips stretch into a wide grin, his eyes twinkling devilishly and groaned because I kneas coirl? I’et rid of Jackson…" he said loudly before breaking doith laughter, wincing when Jackson, as standing right behind him, smacked him in the back of his head

Jacks pushed past hi his head in part annoyance, part a, our arms still wrapped around each other loosely, and asked his sister, "You okay?"

She nodded and suess that’s ed Brandon’s arm as she went by hihed and shooka lot, and then walked into the bathrooood fifteen minutes when the door opened and the dooras filled with ly delicious nakedness of the male variety I watched as Brandon ran his hand down his chest,every move, until he reached that special, perfect part of hiasped as he wrapped his fingers around the considerable girth of hionna be in here all night?" he asked, the deep, husky, rich tone of his voiceme shiver as it washed over me like a caress

I didn’t answer hi on the tub and stood without a word, stepping out and reaching for my towel He watched every ers fu up, I just wrapped the towel aroundhimself I reached out my hand to touch him and he stoppedfrozen in mid-air The uncertainty I kneritten across otten to him because his features softened for a second before he commanded, "Drop the towel, Allie"

I let the towel drop fro naked before him Without another word, he turned away and walked back into the bedroo from my bedside lamp I followed him, a little perturbed by the fact that he still hadn’t touchedexcept order ht stretched out in front ofbeside the bed with one knee propped up on it, and his hand was still fisting the rock-hard length jutting fro on the other side of the bed, propped up with pillows against the headboard He was also naked, but his hands were tucked behind his head, leaving everything open to reedy eyes The thick hardness of his erection stood up fro towards the sculpted lines of his stomach I blinked slowly, in awe of all that hotfor my touch

"Do you have your iPod back here?" Brandon asked me softly I nodded silently and pointed to where it was resting on it’s dock Heit on and thuh my playlists I saw him raise an eyebrow at me before he smiled, replaced it onto the dock and hit play He turned up the voluh to fill the room, but not so loud that it would disturb Chloe in the other roorinned back at hiin I knew that he’d found ly titled ‘sexy-tier atelse had ued I could tell that things were going to go a little differently tonight

I moved to stand in front of hi that Jackson was no longer lounging there I saw Brandon glance over my shoulder at him and nod I sed as I felt the heat of Jackson’s chest againstsoft dropped over my eyes I felt him carefully tie whatever it was at the back of h that I was co faster and my heart felt like it would pound out oftouch of lips against the curve ofwhen the feel of fingertips tracedinto the cleft at the base of it I moaned loudly, unable to help it, when lips closed over hly All of a sudden I was alone, all traces of their touch gone I whimpered in my throat and heard a whispered, ‘shhhh, baby its okay’ soto hear some clue as to ould happen next
