The good news was, he didn’t give a shit what random people thought. He cared what his friends thought, what his family thought. But he couldn’t care about anyone who would judge his parents for loving each other. He’d learned that lesson at a young age, or perhaps he’d simply been born without the component for shame when it came to sex.
The brunette barely avoided tripping over a chair in her way. It made her twist slightly, giving him a nice view of her backside. She was slender but curvy in all the right places.
That fine ass was begging for a spanking.
Yeah, he might not have been born with a big capacity for shame, but he had come into the world with certain needs. He’d come by them honestly, and his father hadn’t made him feel bad about it. Nope. When he and Grim had gotten caught with their first woman—a college freshman when they were still in high school—her father had threatened to kill them both while Jack Barnes had sat them down and had the “talk.” And then when they’d turned eighteen sent them to Dallas for a summer where they’d trained at a place called The Club.
Him and Grim, not him and Ashley Hill. Her father had caught her in bed in between Josh and his best friend. It had been Grim who’d jumped out of the window with him and who’d had the foresight to grab Josh’s pants as he’d jumped so he wasn’t running across a pasture with his dick swinging.
“Josh doesn’t want to go to Colorado so he can chase after two boys.” Dad pointed out the problem he had. “You can take the California trip next month.”
His pops chuckled. “I never would have thought our baby girl would fall in love with a couple of nerds.”
Grim’s head turned, frowning Pop’s way. “That is not a good way to refer to people anymore, Mr. Fleetwood. I’m a nerd.”
His pops shook his head. “Now, see, maybe I no longer understand the definition of the word. In my day it was smart kids who studied too much and didn’t get laid. I don’t think that describes you, son. Now you’re real good at the studying part, but you’ve pretty much run through most of the women in East Texas, and a whole bunch of Dallas and Austin.”
Josh laughed as Grim turned a shade of pink. Grim had shame poured into his system at a young age, but they were working on the problem. And his pops’s description was wholly accurate. They might have had some trouble getting started, but they had the ménage thing down. He and Grim were practically a rite of passage for the women of East Texas.
“I’m only saying Livie has the right to pant after anyone she wants, even if they are kind of weird and scare me,” Grim admitted.
“I am not panting after Will and Bobby.” His sister was pretty much the spitting image of their mom, and when he looked at it from an outside eye, he could admit they were both gorgeous women. But she totally panted after the Farley brothers. She had ever since they were kids. She would see them once every couple of years and moon for months.
And his dad was right. They were kind of nerds. But Grim was wrong. Nerds were cool these days. The Farley brothers would be worth millions one day, or they would cause the end of the world. Or maybe get locked up because they became supervillains.
Josh wasn’t sure, but he was interested in the outcome. Of course if they ever gave in and allowed Livie to become their queen, they would definitely veer into supervillain territory. His sis could come up with an evil plan like no one else.
The trouble was, he kind of thought Livie might not be their type. But his sister didn’t listen to his instincts.
He breathed a sigh of relief as the brunette made it to the table and managed to get the heavy tray down.
Grim was back to watching her, too. Then he turned, and a brow rose over brown eyes.
Josh grinned and slowly nodded.
And that was that. Nicole was on their radar, but then he’d known she would be the minute he’d caught sight of her weeks before. Grim had been in Dallas attending a conference. This was the first time he’d had a chance to see the woman Josh had been thinking about. He wouldn’t approach her without Grim.
Begin as you mean to go, but it looked like he was going to get his shot.
“Besides,” his sister was saying, “the last I heard Bobby and Will are working on their doctorates at MIT. I’m not offering to go to Massachusetts to explain our new accounting software to the physics department. I’m offering to go to Bliss and spend way too much time teaching an ex-football player how to use a spreadsheet. I say that because I know James Glen will run the minute he sees me and I’ll end up hanging out with Trev and the girls the whole time.”
