Chapter Thirteen
Jayce
Like Remi read my mind, she changes the subject before I have a chance. She won’t want her best friend to become uncomfortable.
“Who are you out with?” Remi questions, looking over at me.
“My brothers.”
“How many of you are there? And are they all as handsome as you?”
I chuckle and point to my table. “Judge for yourself.”
Remi’s attention focuses on my brothers, and a smirk grows on her lips.
“Damn! How is that even fair to have an entire family of brothers so gorgeous?” She groans.
I love how Remi is the type to get straight to the point.
“Come and join us.” It isn’t a question.
Rose goes to answer, and I believe she will say no, but before she could answer.
“Yes, sure. Are any of your brothers single?” Remi asks curiously.
“Yes. All of them.”
Remi seems excited. She quickly jumps to her feet, grabs her things and disappears to the table. She approaches with confidence. My brothers won’t mind. Rose doesn’t move an inch.
I stand. “Are you coming, Rose?”
She shakes her head and turns away from me..
“Yes, you are. Get your sexy little ass up and join us. If you don’t, then I will stay here with you. The
choice is yours, pretty eyes.”
Rose shudders with my tone. She mutters words that I can’t make out yet she hesitantly gets to her
feet.
“Fine. If it means I don’t need to be alone with you.
“Why don’t you trust yourself around me when you are alone?”

“I trust myself around you just fine, thank you very much.”
Rose smooths her clothes out, stands up straight, and gathers her stuff. She pretends that having me around isn’t getting to her. When she faces me again, I reach for her hip and pull her against me. She whimpers and fists my tee with her free hand.
“Tell me, , pretty eyes, have you been thinking about me?” I rasp, circling my fingers on her hips.
She opens her mouth to talk, but no words come out. Instead, she shakes her head. I inch my lips closer to hers, brushing them softly. She reacts the same way she did at the club. Her legs nearly buckle from under her.
“Liar. Yes, you have been, beautiful.”
I rest my hand on the small of her back and guide her to the table. Remi seems to be in her element chatting and laughing with my brothers. I notice Tanner appears to be more intrigued by her than
the others.
“Everyone, this is Rose. Rose, my two younger brothers, Tanner and Tate. And my older brother, Joshua.”
Rose rocks slightly on her pumps. “Um, hi. It’s nice to meet you all. It’s nice to see you again, Tanner,” she says softly.
Tanner takes his focus away from Remi for a moment and smiles. “Hey, Rose. Yes, nice to see you
again too.”
Tate smirks. “I can see why you have been pining for the last week, Jay. Aren’t you a pretty little
thing!”
I send Tate a warning glare. He chuckles and holds his hands up. I tell them all to move down and motion for Rose to sit first, then slip in next to her. I place my hand on her knee.
Remi keeps the conversation going, but Rose is completely silent. She seems anxious.
“Rose, look at me,” I whisper. A thrill fills me when she does what I ask.
“Yeah?”
“Do you want to get out of here? Just you and me. We can go somewhere?”
I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable, but I also want her to myself. I would rather not have he around my brothers, especially Tate and Tanner. They enjoy women a little too much sometimes, and Rose is their type. I don’t think they would go after her because they know I am interested. They know the rules, but I’d rather go off with her just in case.

“No. I am not leaving Remi by herself,” she insists.
“I promise she will be safe with my brothers.” They’d be respectful and protect her if anyone tried to
hassle her.
“No. Thank you.” She shrugs and breaks eye contact with me.
I grip the edge of the seat, trying to contain my dominant side, I need to get her alone, even for an hour. I am desperate for a feel of her lips on mine. I am not used to working so damn hard to get what I want. I don’t know if it will even be possible to talk her into leaving with me. And with how things are going it isn’t going to happen soon. If she doesn’t want to go, then I won’t push. I know she wants me, but she isn’t allowing herself to admit it, even after what happened between us at the
club.
