Claimed by my Brother’s Best Friends (Alyssa) novel Chapter 57

King

Alyssa laughs loudly at her brother's words, and I have to fight the twitch at the corners of my lips. "Is this seriously your version of an apology, Gray? I told you I didn't want to see you until you said sorry for the things you said, but instead, you made them bring me here so you can still force me to stay?"

I lean against the walls, arms crossed, watching my kitten with her claws out. Hell, I'm impressed. My cock is already straining against my zipper, and I have to fight the urge to adjust myself. If Gray notices I have a raging boner for his little sister, he'll lose his shit. I could take him, but like I told Alyssa, the girls don't need to see that kind of violence today.

When he called both Niko and me this morning, demanding we bring Alyssa and Zuri by, I knew he was up to something. He thinks he's going to be able to convince her to stay. But one look in her eyes tells me all I need to know—she doesn't want to be here, and if she could, she'd walk out right now and never look back. He'd be blind or in denial if he couldn't see that too.

Gray's lips twist into a sneer. "What exactly are you getting out of this? Hiding out with them? Have you convinced yourself that they actually give a damn about you because I can assure you, they're just following orders."

Yeah, he doesn't know shit.

And I wish he wouldn't try to convince her that we don't care about her.

His eyes snap to Niko, then to me. I can see the accusation there, the tension building, the moment shit might hit the fan.

He turns his glare on me, but I remain cool, calm, and collected as he stares me down. "Are you fucking her?" he growls.

I could admit it. I won't lie and say watching his face turn purple with rage wouldn't be the highlight of my day. But my eyes flicker to Alyssa and Zuri. Not yet.

So, deflecting, it is.
