"Don't even think about it Alec, she's mine," Dominic snarled making both the men grin.
Again with that? Seriously?
"Ahh, you must be Bronagh then?" Alec grinned.
"How do you know me name?" I asked, confused.
Both the men laughed when Dominic snarled at them.
"Don't mind them, the ass**le talking to you is Alec, the prick on the right is Kane, and my other brother Ryder is in the house with Damien."
Dominic, Damien, Alec, Kane and Ryder.
Oh, my God, their names were just as sexy as they were.
"It's a pleasure." Kane smiled to me after a moment.
I melted; he had such a happy, pretty smile which caused me to smile back at him. I didn't even pay attention to the scar curved around his mouth because his smile was just breathtaking.
"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Slater."
Dominic's hand suddenly grabbed hold of mine. "All right, that's enough of that," he said tugging me into him.
I flushed and tried to push away from him. "What the hell, Dominic? The past five weeks you annoy me from a distance but within the last half hour you won't stop touchin' me. What the f**k, man?"
"Man," Alec and Kane mimicked my accent in unison making each other chuckle.
I flicked my eyes towards them; I had them narrowed but when Kane switched his smile on, I couldn't keep it up for long.
"How old are you both?" I asked, smiling.
"Twenty-five," Alec replied.
Kane grinned. "I'm twenty-three, how old are you?"
"I'm eighteen today."
"Happy birthday," Alec and Kane said in unison making me smile at them.
"What? Today is your birthday?" Dominic asked.
I looked at him and nodded.
Dominic frowned. "Now I feel even worse for hitting you."
"What?" Alec and Kane roared.
I jumped while Dominic flung his hands up in front of him in an 'I surrender' motion.
"It was an accident. Some prick hit her in school, so I kicked his ass, but when she tried to pull me back, my elbow hit her face. I brought her here to ice it."
Alec waved us forward. "Yeah, Dame told us about the fight but left her out of it."
I was obviously her.
Dominic tugged me forward then, so I followed him back up the steps to his house.
I had to turn so I could get by Alec's shirtless, muscular body.
"I like your tattoos." And your mouthwatering face and body.
"Bronagh! Stop it," Dominic scowled at me when we got inside the beautiful house.
I pulled my hand from his. "What? I just said I liked his tattoos." I frowned then pointed my finger dangerously at him. "I don't know where you're gettin' off thinkin' you can tell me what to do because you can't, so stop it before I break a bone!"
Dominic smirked at me. "You want to get physical with me?"
What?
"Wh-What?" I stuttered before licking my suddenly dry lips. "I think we need to go to the hospital with you, you're sayin' weird things and just actin' out of character since that fight. I really think Jason hit you too hard on they moved around us. I watched as they went into what I would have guessed to be a sitting room but turned out to be a home gym. That explained why they were shirtless and so buff; they were working out and clearly did it often.
"Are you going to stare at my brothers all day or are you going to come with me?" Dominic asked in an impatient tone.
"If that is a legit question, I vote to stay here and stare at your brothers all day."
Dominic grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hall and away from the view of Alec and Kane.
"It was really nice to meet you both," I shouted to them.
"You too," they both shouted back in unison.
I grunted when Dominic and I entered what was obviously the kitchen. He was tugging me along behind him so when he stopped, I collided with his back. I didn't even try to pull my hand from his, because he had a good grip on me.
"'Bout time you showed up. Why are you getting into fights at school Dominic? We don't need attention drawn to us, you f**king know this!" a deep voice bellowed.
I froze and decided to stay behind Dominic. That was obviously his eldest brother, Ryder, shouting and I didn't want to be a target of his anger so I stayed put. Also, I wanted to see if he would elaborate on what he just said. I mean, why didn't they need attention drawn to them?
"I'm aware of that, and I'm sure Dame already told you why I got into a fight," Dominic replied calmly, getting my attention.
"He did, I just want to hear it from you," the deep voice said.
"He put his hands on her, even if he didn't hurt her I still would have beaten the shit out of him for the names he called her," Dominic said casually.
My stomach was flip-flopping left, right and centre.
What the hell was going on?
"Bronagh?" deep voice inquired.
I stepped out from behind Dominic and waved a little. "Heya."
"I'm Ryder, Dominic and Damien's oldest brother."
Holy shite.
He looked like Matt Bomber, only hotter, because he was covered in tattoos!
"Nice to meet you," I murmured and just flat-out stared at him.
Dominic shook his head at my reaction to his brother, but I didn't care. This family had beautiful genes, like I wasn't going to ogle them.
"How is your face?" Ryder asked me.
I thought about what he asked then touched my face and hissed. "It's sore."
Dominic moved across the room, opened what looked like a freezer and pulled out an ice pack, then grabbed a small hand towel on his way back over to me.
I frowned at him. "You are the one with the cut eyebrow and busted up face, you need the ice more than I do, princess."
Dominic's brothers snorted.
"I like her," Ryder said.
"I like her more and more each time she insults him," Damien chuckled.
"Fuck you both," Dominic grinned as he continued to move towards me.
He turned me around and applied pressure to my back, making me walk forward.
"This is startin' to piss me off, Dominic. Stop pushin' me around. Stop touchin' me altogether!" I snapped.
"That's the appeal then? He wants what he can't have," Ryder said lowly then snorted.
