Rock with Me (With Me in Seattle, #4)(47)

“A carrot?” Brynna asks, squishing up her face in concentration.

“What kind of carrots have you been eating?” Leo asks with a laugh.

“Ew. Yeah, never mind.”

“This is so f*cking funny,” Jules chuckles.

What the hell could it be? I stare at Jules, as if she can send me the answer by osmosis. We’re playing Dirty Minds for family game night, all our siblings and better halves are here, and we’ve turned it into a drinking game.

Of course.

“I know what it is.” Will grins at Meg and runs his hand down her back to her hip. “Although yours isn’t hairy.”

“Yuck. Stop it,” I scold him and grin when he laughs out loud.

“Dude, really?” Leo scowls.

“What?” Will asks innocently.

“For the love of all that’s holy, Nat, stop fraternizing with the enemy!” Luke has Nat in a firm lip-lock, as usual.

“I’m married to him, Jules. He’s hardly the enemy.”

“Tonight he is. Girls against guys. Get your sexy ass over here with me.”

“Are you going to kiss me?” Nat asks with a raised brow.

“After one more drink, yes.”

“Definitely go over there with her,” Nate quickly jumps in and is met with frowns from all the guys, except Leo who continues to laugh next to me.

“Uh, they’re our sisters, man.” Matt reminds him with a frown on his handsome face, his blue eyes sparkling with humor.

“They’re not my sisters,” Nate responds.

“It’s a coconut, you nasty people!” Jules yells and hands the cards to me. “You go next.”

“Okay,” I respond and pull a card out of the deck. This game is effing hilarious. “I go in pink and hard and come out soft and sticky. What am I?”

“That’s disgusting.” Stacey laughs and takes a drink of her margarita.

“That’s not what you said last night.” Isaac leans in and nuzzles her neck, making her squirm and giggle.

“You are all over-sexed.” I announce to the room at large.

“Not all of us,” Brynna pouts, sticks her lower lip out and scowls at Caleb.

“Don’t start,” he warns her.

My eyebrows climb into my hairline. “What the f*ck?”

“Caleb’s staying with Brynna and the girls for a while,” Luke fills me in. “It’s a safety issue.”

I frown over at the unlikely couple, Brynna with her long dark hair and generously curvy body – God, I wish I had her boobs – and Caleb, the big, muscular Navy SEAL.

“Is something going on there?” I ask Luke softly.

“I have no idea.” He shrugs. “But they keep looking at each other. None of my business.”

“What is it, Sam?” Nat asks with a grin.

“It’s gum.”

“Oh! Here’s one!” Will exclaims after he takes the box from me. “You stick your poles inside me, you tie me down to get me up and I get wet before you do.”


“I like the tie me down talk, you know,” I remind the boys and make the room laugh, including the quiet Matt, who chokes on his beer and grins at me.

“Seriously.” Leo glances down at me with renewed interest and I feel my cheeks heat.

“Sure.” I shrug.

Leo wraps his arm around me, pulls me to his side and kisses my temple, and I immediately stiffen.

I’ve never, ever shown public displays of affection in front of my family before.

“I’m not a touchy feely person, remember?” I whisper to him. He leans in and lays his lips against my ear.

“Get over it, sunshine. You’re mine, I’m yours, and I will touch you.” He lightly kisses me again and straightens, his face completely neutral and I feel like I’ve been hit by a Mack truck.

Luke is watching us thoughtfully while he runs his fingertips up and down Natalie’s arm. The rest of the room, including Mark and Meg, are oblivious. I offer Luke a shrug and a slight smile and focus on the game.

“It’s a tent, people!” Will laughs and passes the box along.

“I haven’t been wet in a while.” Brynna announces and I spit out my margarita.

“How many drinks have you had?” I ask her.

“Too many,” Caleb responds. “Excuse us, we need to talk.” He grips Brynna by the arm and leads her back to Luke’s office and we hear the door slam.

I look back and forth between the girls, Jules, Nat, Meg and Stacy, and we all erupt in laughter.

“No orgasm talk tonight.” Matt announces in warning.

“Who talks about orgasms?” Mark asks with interest. My baby brother is adorable, and all grown up. He looks so much like Luke and our dad, tall and fair and strong.

And he’s a man-whore.

“The girls have a habit of talking about orgasms when alcohol is involved.” Nate fills him in and shakes his dark head.

“More drinks, ladies?” Mark asks with his charming, melt-your-panties grin.

“More drinks!” Stacy agrees.

“Orgasms are a perfectly fine thing to talk about.” Jules takes a long sip of her drink and offers Nate a goofy grin. “They’re better when they’re apagasms.”
