“Moon, I have no idea what in the hell you’re talking about. Why would I sneak around to fuck you? There’s nothing more going on between Puck and me than any other brother in the club I have sex with.” As she straightened from the basket, her expression turned uneasy, as if he had a screw loose. “The last time we had sex was two weeks ago, after the football game. We were upstairs in the TV room. Nickel, Jesus, and Puck were right there, watching. How in the hell is that sneaking?”
Moon brought his arm back down. Was she shitting him? What mindfuck was she trying to play? “You’re going to pretend you didn’t come into my room last night and we didn’t fuck?”
Echo’s hands went to her hips. “There’s no pretending. I didn’t take one step inside your room last night. I didn’t leave Puck’s room all night, other than to go the bathroom a couple of times, and I didn’t take a detour into your room. If I did, I wouldn’t have to lie about it.” Bending back down, she grabbed the rest of her clothes and shoved them into the washer. “I love it. You must have been so fucked you don’t know who you fucked. I guess you can’t tell us apart as long you get what you need.”
Moon winced when she slammed the lid down on the washer.
“You lame-ass prick,” she snarled. “You having trouble telling who’s who? Try opening your fucking eyes!” As she sharply turned the dial on the washer, Moon heard Echo mutter under her breath, “Unbelievable.” Then, turning back to stare at him from across the room, it was plain Echo was debating hitting him. Storming toward the stairs instead, Echo curled her lips in disgust.
Moon mentally prepared himself for what Echo would say next. Whatever it was wasn’t going to be good. Echo was the most laidback of the women members. That he had made her so angry showed how much he had fucked up.
“You pull this shit on Ember, she’ll rip your balls off. Not that you’ve noticed, you arrogant prick, but I don’t wear underwear. And guess what?”
He was almost afraid to ask. “What?”
“Ember doesn’t wear anything but thongs.”
Fuck…
“Sorry. Let me make it up to you. I’ll—”
“Forget it, Moon. I don’t need you to make a damn thing up to me.”
He felt like a gigantic ass when he saw the sheen of tears in Echo’s eyes.
“Instead, I should be thanking you. You just showed me how low we women are in your estimation. Do the other brothers think that way?”
“Echo, I fucked up, okay? Don’t bring the other brothers into this.”
“Why not? I want to know. Do the brothers in Ohio think like this, too, or just the brothers here?”
Rubbing his fingers across his forehead, he tried to think of something to ease Echo’s hurt. “I’m the only moron in both clubs. Okay? Wizard and Viper would say the same thing. Just let me … make it up to you. I saw an Ulta magazine sitting on the table in the kitchen; you go pick anything you want, and I’ll buy it,” he promised.
“Anything?”
Moon recognized the glint entering her eyes.
“Anything,” he confirmed through clenched teeth.
“I don’t know if I could enjoy it if the other women can’t pick out what they want, too.”
Well, that was no subtle hint.
“Give them the magazine, too. Tell them each to pick out five things they want, and I’ll make sure they get it.”
“I want them to have everything they want.” Echo knew she had him over a barrel.
“You’re missing the point of me letting you have everything you want. I want to show you that you’re special.”
“Ah … I must have missed that part. In that case, we can let them pick out six gifts apiece.”
Where was the fucking we coming from? The only credit card number Echo would be using was his.
“Sounds good.”
“Thanks, Moon! You’re the best!”
Moon watched Echo’s ass bounce up the steps eagerly. Waiting until she had gone through the door and shut it, he fell backward onto the mat to stare at ceiling. He had just made a costly mistake because he hadn’t listened to Puck.
As he looked at the ceiling, another thought came to him.
If it wasn’t Echo or Ember, who in the hell had he fucked last night?
CHAPTER EIGHT
“Moon! Did you hear what I just said?”
Moon jumped at Viper’s yell. “I heard.”
Viper folded his arms over his chest. “Then what did I just say?”
Moon gave the brothers sitting in the den a look, hoping one of them would divert Viper’s attention from him.
“Brother, you’re on your own,” Rider mumbled out of the corner of his mouth.
Clueless as to what Viper had been saying, Moon decided to wing it. “What? Are we in sixth grade again? Why don’t you ask Rider if he was listening?” If the brother didn’t want to help him out, then Moon had no compunction about throwing him under the bus.
