Ryder (Slater Brothers 4)(99)

Bronagh looked at his back then looked to me and frowned before she widened her eyes and asked, “You meant sexual position, didn’t you?”

I nodded, still laughing.

She sighed and shouted, “Doggy style!”

Things were silent for a moment then there was a loud shout.

“I fucking knew it!”

My shoulders shook as I laughed.

“Why do you bait him like that?” Bronagh asked, a smile twitching at her lips.

I shrugged. “It amuses me.”

“You’re a sick woman,” she growled. “Being on morphine when you were in the hospital has messed with your mind, it’s wiped away all your niceness.”

I continued to laugh.

“Dominic, come back,” she called out, groaning. “Me back is still sore.”

He re-entered the room as quickly as he left and fell back down next to Bronagh who leaned forward enough for Dominic to slip his hand back behind her so he could rub the base of her spine.

“Don’t be afraid to do it harder,” she grunted.

“That’s what she said,” Alec said earning a laugh from Keela and myself.

“Have you ever thought of givin’ up sexual innuendos?” I asked him with my lip curled upward. “Because you should, you can be so disgustin’ at times.”

“I’ve tried,” Alec sighed. “But it’s hard, so hard.”

I picked up the cushion next to me and threw it at his smirking face. He caught it before it could make contact though.

“Ryder, you go next,” Damien said, as he stretched his arms over the back of Keela and Alec’s sofa.

Ryder thought about it, then to Dominic he said, “What was the first thing about Bronagh that you found yourself attracted to?”

Dominic looked down at Bronagh and said, “Your eyes. I had never seen eyes so emerald green before, they were, and still are, beautiful.”

Bronagh’s face flushed crimson, and it made Dominic smile.

“I thought you were goin’ to say me arse,” she mumbled.

His lip twitched. “You hadn’t turned around at that point so I just got a frontal image of you. I didn’t get a good look at my baby until we were in woodwork class and you were at the gluing station. I swear I instantly fell in love with you when I saw your ass.”

I snorted.

“You’re such a perv.” Bronagh said, but I could tell she was pleased with his original answer.

Dominic shrugged. “I’ve always made my fondness for your ass known, don’t act like it’s a sudden surprise.”

Ain’t that the truth.

“Okay, next question,” my sister said. “Alec, what won’t Meatloaf do for love?”

“Anal,” he replied. “It’s definitely anal.”

We all laughed.

“Are all these questions going to be about sex, or a sex act?” Alannah then questioned when she entered the room and leaned her arms on the back of the sofa beside Bronagh’s head. “Because sex is overrated.”

Every one of us snapped our attention to Alannah when she spoke. She rolled her eyes at us and said, “It is, just because you all have good sex lives doesn’t mean everyone else does.”

Meaning her?

Alec grinned. “I know someone who would be more than happy to rectify that problem for you, darling.”

He didn’t understand the term ‘subtle’.

“I’m going to get some water,” Damien said and shot up from his position on the sofa, and briskly walked into the kitchen.

Alannah focused on Alec. “I don’t think I need a someone when I have a somethin’.”

“Sex toys?” Keela questioned, with her eyebrows raised. “You’re filled with surprises.”

I was surprised too, because Alannah was very timid compared to the rest of us, the fact that she was openly taking part in a conversation about sex was shocking in itself.

“It’s 2016,” she replied to Keela. “Vibrators are perfectly acceptable life partners.”

Bronagh frowned. “We need to get you a boyfriend.”

I second that.

Alannah laughed. “Trust me, as long as I recharge me double A batteries, I’ll never need a man again.”

Dominic blinked. “Right now, as a man, I feel cheap. We’re more than sex machines, we have feelings too, you know?”

Alannah rolled her eyes. “Please, in school you fucked your way through the girls in our year for sport. Their hurt feelings never made you feel cheap, but I can guarantee your actions made them feel cheap.”

The conversation took a turn from playful to serious in a spilt second.

Dominic frowned. “I was a kid…”

“That doesn’t change anythin’.” Alannah angrily cut him off. “You were old enough to know what you were doin’ was hurtful, but you did it anyway. You broke hearts and didn’t care about it. You were so horrible.”
