“Cocky much?”
“You tell me Don’t I deserve to be?”
“God…you’re acting like—”
“A giant dick?”
It was like a bad car accident iain What rong with me? He was stark nad in front of me, and I couldn’t move
Holy hell…his tip was pierced What a way to be introduced to my first live one
He broke o fro, you should probably leave and letdressed”
I shook my head in disbelief and slammed the door shut behind me
My legs were shaking as I fled to my room
What just happened?
CHAPTER 2
“How is stepbrother dearest today?” Victoria asked
The bed squeaked as I plopped on hed into the phone “Up to his usual asslery”
I hadn’t told my best friend Victoria about Elec’s show and tell in the bathrooht It embarrassed le search of pierced penises ended up keeping ht Let me tell you, anyone who innocently searches “Prince Albert” is in for a big surprise
It was now Sunday, and toh school where ould both be seniors Soon enough, everyone would get to meet my jerky stepbrother
Victoria sounded shocked “He’s still not speaking to you?”
“No He caht it back to his room”
“Why do you think he has such a stick up his ass?”
You should see his other stick
“So not to take it personally, but it’s hard”
It’s hard alright God, I can’t get it out of my head!
Pierced mushroom head
Shit
“You think I would like him?” Victoria asked
“What do you mean? I told you…he’s the devil,” I snapped
“I know…but do you think I would like him?”
Honestly, I kneas exactly Victoria’s type She loved dark and brooding guys even when they weren’t as good-looking as Elec This was another reason I had to keep the details of the bathroom encounter to myself All she needed to hear was that his ck was pierced, and I’d never get her out of h, so I figured I’d be honest
“He’s really hot, okay? Really…fucking…hot In fact, his looks are just about the only thing he has going for him”
“Okay, I’ over”
“No, you’re not” I laughed, but deep down, the idea of Victoria throwing herself at Elec made me really uncomfortable even if I didn’t think he’d return the attention
“What are your plans for tonight, then?”
“Well, before I actually met hi Sunday dinner for all of us You know…my one specialty”
“Chicken Tetrazzini”
I laughed because it was the only thing I kne to uess?”
“Maybe you can serve up a can of whoopass on the side for stepbrother dearest”
“I’onna kill hioodness) he wants to be tome”
Mom helped me set the table while aited for the Tetrazzini to bake My sto, but it was arlic e forward to sitting across the table froreed to join us
“Greta, why don’t you go upstairs and see if you can get him to come down”
“Why me?”
My mother screwed open a bottle of wine She was the only one ould be drinking, and she likely needed it She poured a little, took a sip then said, “Look, I can understand why he doesn’t like me He sees me as the enemy and probably blaether, but there is no reason for hih to hiet him to open up a little”
I shrugged She had no idea how all out in the open things were in the bathrooht: balls to the wall open
As I walked up the stairs, the the on his door terrified me, and I didn’t knohat I would be faced with if he even opened the door
I knocked
To ing out of his mouth The sweet smell of the s then slowly and intentionally blew the sht in my face His voice was low “What?”
I tried to seeh broke out
Very cool, Greta
“Dinner is almost ready”
He earing a tight, white ribbed tank top, and my eyes drifted down to a tattoo that said “Lucky” on one of his ainst the door His hair et, and his jeans hung low, showcasing the top of the white boxer briefs underneath His steely gray eyes stared into …for a bastard
