finally had enough.
"And why would I want to do such a thing?" He actually frowned at me like the thought had never crossed his mind. Yeah right.
"My family might not be as wealthy as we once were, but we're not paupers either, and if you use your filthy influence to hurt her I'll see you dead." There he goes again with that lost look.
"What makes you think these things of me, is it because I asked to make some changes to the wedding plans?"
"What right do you have? It's their wedding not yours. You should keep your big fat nose out of it." I shook my fist at him to let him know I meant business. I would so bust the shit out of that patrician nose of his. Snobby bastard.
"Understood, but as a business man Michael has certain obligations, some people cannot and should not be slighted. Besides, I offered to pay for the extras, but your father insisted he take care of it."
"Not the point Napoleon, you can't always get your way in everything, people like you make me sick."
"You know what, I'm tired of being at the wrong end of that tongue of yours, since you won't tell me what your damn problem is I'll just have to come to my own conclusions and you know what I've come up with so far?"
JONAS
Shit, they're behind a locked door together, I'm sure she didn't do it, so he must've done it in a move to get her to open up.
Good luck with that dude. Maybe I need to give this rich boy some pointers on how to deal with lil sister's brand of cray-cray.
I tried listening at the door but was waylaid by the bitches of Eastwick coming up the stairs. Oh shit.
Why didn’t I just go have a beer with the guys like I’d planned to? What the hell was I doing here in the middle of this soap opera?
Oh yeah, my baby sister was in the middle of this shit, and we’ve never left each other’s backs before.
I usually try to stay out of these little skirmishes between her and her siblings since we were kids and I use to help her carry out her plans of attack, but this one was really getting to her and I had a good idea why.
If I didn’t get the vibe that the dude was worth it, I would’ve dragged her out of here already, but she needs some happy in her life.
So if I have to tangle with these she wolves that would eat their own young to land a rich sucker like this Collis guy, that’s just what the hell I’ll do.

JACKSON
I opened my mouth to tell her exactly what I thought her problem was, but then we heard the raised voices in the hallway.
She held her hand up for me to be quiet so she could listen.
"Jonas where is Jackson?"
"How the hell should I know?"
"Don't play smart, we know he came up here. Now get away from that door this instant, is he in there?"
"No he's not, look, you three got Maxie in trouble, now she's all upset, I went to get her some ginger ale for her upset stomach so if you'll excuse me."
"You always were her little lapdog, and no one did anything to her, she always does it to herself."
That sounded like Jenny.
The fire breather went to rush past me to get to the door, but I pulled her back with my arm around her middle.
"Not so fast there, dragon lady." She felt good pressed up against me, but now was not the time to enjoy.
"Let me go Collins, they don't get to mess with Jonas."
"Your big brother can take care of himself. I think you've been in enough trouble for one day."
She turned those eyes on me as I pulled her in, and for the first time I noticed how absolutely spectacular they were.
Her eyes weren't grey, they were pure silver the black was pure solid black. There were no specks of brown or anything else, just pure beauty.
She felt strong and soft at the same time, as I shifted her in my arms, my eyes caught by the sheer magnificence of hers.
I saw the slight inclination of her head before she checked herself.
"Kiss me." I nuzzled her jaw and felt her tremble in my arms.
"What...no." She fidgeted against me and tried to move her face away from my lips.
"Then I'll kiss
