should probably head out anyway. I’m supposed to meet a friend tonight. He made an unexpected trip to town today and wanted to meet up.”
That pulled Rev and Kegen up short. Rev spoke first. “You have a date with another man? Why would you make another date when you knew you were going out with Quin? Maybe you aren’t the one for our brother after all.”
Laurel looked between the twins, completely confused by the one-eighty. “You sound like a woman, you know that right?” When they both just glared at her she shook her head in frustration. “I knew there was a reason I didn’t date. Just can’t figure guys out at all.” She grabbed her purse, heading the same direction Quin just went.
Kegen grabbed her by the arm and spun her around before she reached the doorknob. “Okay, explain that.”
“I don’t have to explain anything, but since I thought we were on our way to being friends, I will. First, I don’t think this little get-together can be considered a date. The man barely talked to me tonight. Kissed me—yes, shot you two dirty looks—yes, talked to me—no. Second, I don’t have a date with another man. I’m meeting a friend I’ve known since college, who happens to be a man, at the wine bar in town. I have no desire to date, sleep with or fuck Evan. We are just old college friends and colleagues.”
Rev looked unconvinced. “Sweetheart, remember when I said all men think of sleeping with a woman at least once?”
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his idiotic words. “Yes, but just because he may have thought about it, doesn’t mean I’m going to do it. Or does that not factor into your man-equation?”
Rumbling from a large truck startled her into action. “I’m outta here. Thank you for the help at the jumps. Thank you for dinner. I hope you have a nice life.”
Before Rev or Kegen could stop her, she yanked the front door open. Quin was just sitting in his truck staring at the house. Beyond irritated at all three men, she jogged to her SUV, hopped in and backed-up, barely avoiding ramming into Quin’s truck. Throwing the vehicle into gear she stomped on the gas pedal, peeling out of the quite neighborhood. If she ever heard from those guys again it would be too soon.
Chapter Five
Quin’s heart stopped in his chest as Laurel came within inches of hitting his truck. He didn’t know if it was because she almost hit him, or if it was seeing her leaving without being able to talk to her. He knew he fucked up storming out of the house. He’d been so pissed at his brother, then got even more pissed when he saw her snuggled up to him. It was either bust his brother in the face or leave. He would have been screwed no matter what he decided.
The squeal of tires grabbed his attention and he could only watch as Laurel tore out like a bat out of Hell. He cut the engine of his truck and got out, making his way over to where his brothers stood on the front porch.
“What the fuck did you do to her?” He demanded, grabbing Rev by the shirt. Rev immediately pushed back at him but Quin didn’t let go.
“I didn’t do shit to her asshole. You’re the one who left the house like a two-year-old who’s had his favorite toy taken away.”
“Fuck you!” He shoved Rev back, causing him to stumble. “I saw you two snuggled up on the couch then, next thing I know, she’s tearing out of here like she can’t get away fast enough.”
“If you call that snuggled up, then you haven’t been doing it right. We were sitting next to each other, talking. Which is more than I can say you did. She even commented about it. What the hell did you invite her over for if you weren’t going to make a move or at least talk to her?”
“How was I supposed to when all night long you and Kegen were flirting with her, hogging all of her attention? You knew I wanted her. I even told you to back off. Instead of respecting my request, you spent the evening trying to take her
