Kiera was just exiting the bar as Anna slid into my seat. Even with the distance between us, I could tell Kiera was pissed Anna was leaving with me. I had a huge grin on my face as I got into my car. Tormenting Kiera was too much fun.
When we got to the house, I showed Anna to the living room. Spotting the couch, she immediately grabbed my hand and made me sit down with her. Her hand instantly found its home next to my crotch.
I heard the door open and turned to see Kiera storming into the house. She looked like she wanted to rip somebody’s head off. She couldn’t though. She couldn’t do a damn thing…because we were trying to be inconspicuous.
Denny came in a few moments later. He slipped an arm around Kiera, and my jealousy spiked a tad. It was fun making someone else feel it, but it sucked being the recipient. Luckily, I had a distraction. Anna looked over at me with an alluring smile. “So…where am I sleeping tonight?” she asked.
I knew what she was really asking me was So…what position do you want to try first? With a half smile, I started answering her, but Kiera beat me to it.
“You’re sleeping with me, Anna.” Her tone clearly said Do not argue with me. I contained my laughter while Kiera looked over at Denny. “Do you mind sleeping on the couch?” she asked him.
Denny did not look happy about that, and I didn’t blame him. This monstrosity wasn’t comfortable. “The couch? Really?”
Kiera’s eyes sharpened to points. She was so pissed…I loved it. “Well, if you prefer, you can sleep with Kellan.” The way she said it was final. You have option A or option B. There is no C.
I couldn’t hold in my laughter anymore. While Denny raised an eyebrow at Kiera, I told him, “I’m just warning you now—I kick.”
Looking miserable, Denny grumbled, “Couch it is,” then headed upstairs for blankets.
Pushing her boobs into my side, Anna sprightly said, “You know, I could sleep with—”
Faster than a blink, Kiera had Anna on her feet. “Come on,” she said as she dragged her sister toward the stairs.
Well, well, well. Kiera had a jealous streak in her about a mile wide. Watching her reaction to Anna and me was outrageously entertaining. I bet Kiera didn’t sleep at all tonight. She’d be on full alert, all night long, making sure her sister didn’t leave the room.
Oh man, this must be how kids felt waiting for Christmas morning. I might not sleep tonight either. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow.
Chapter 20
Double Date from Hell
I woke up feeling better than I had in a while. I wondered if it made me a little sadistic that I was enjoying causing Kiera pain. Although she wasn’t really pained, just jealous. She didn’t want to share me with her sister. If I didn’t find the whole thing so entertaining, I might be offended. Kiera had made her choice, and what I did shouldn’t matter to her. I’d made a promise though, and I was planning on honoring this one.
After doing a handful of push-ups and sit-ups, I dressed and headed downstairs to make coffee. Kiera must have had an ear out for me, because she joined me a few minutes later. I wasn’t too surprised that she was awake. Wondering if Anna was going to sneak into my room at any second had probably kept Kiera up all night. She looked worn, with baggy eyes and crazy hair. Even still, her natural good looks put her sister’s manicured perfection to shame.
I gave her a cheery smile as I poured some water into the coffeepot. “Mornin’. Sleep okay?”
Her expression was blank as she answered me. “I slept fine. You?”
Done with the machine, I turned around and leaned against the counter. Go ahead and lie to me, Kiera, it’s okay. I already know you slept like crap. “Like a baby.” She gave me a forced smile as she sat at the table, and I suppressed a laugh. She was so cute when she was fuming. “Your sister is…interesting,” I said, intentionally leaving my sentence vague and open to interpretation.
She frowned as she debated what I meant by that. When she finally responded, her cheeks were a beautiful shade of embarrassed pink. “Yes…she is.”
I found it amusing that Kiera’s answer was also vague. Guess neither one of us was going to go into specifics. When the coffee was done, I prepared our cups and set hers down in front of her. I leaned back in my chair, perfectly content as I drank mine. Kiera hunched over her cup like she was freezing and it was the only source of warmth in the room. I knew her reaction wasn’t from the cold though, and knowing that made my smile even wider. Jealousy is a bitch, isn’t it, Kiera?
I left Kiera in the kitchen not long after we finished our coffee. I thought it might be best if we didn’t talk too much. Well, I thought I could keep the jealousy going if we didn’t talk too much. I wasn’t sure why I wanted to goad her. Retribution? Proving a theory? This wouldn’t bother her so much if she didn’t have some feelings for me. She said she didn’t, but…she just had to. Please.
