man she couldn’t stand. Cassidy tapped her hand on the window counter. She needed to learn to keep her opinion to herself about Lou. The last thing she needed was to start an argument about a man Lou clearly respected.
    Lou is a lot younger than you. You need to protect her. Mr. Smith is in his forties with an ex-wife and a child.
    “What is Mr. Smith to you?” she asked. She smacked her forehead against the glass for not keeping her mouth shut.
    Lou, on the other end of the phone, went silent.
    Her instincts had been right. There was something wrong about him.
    “Why do you ask?” Lou said after some time.
    “Come on, Lou. Don’t give me that trash. I know you, and something doesn’t seem right with him.”
    “He’s a lawyer, Cassidy. He deals every day with someone lying to him. He’s fine, and I…care about him.”
    She knew her sister, and she didn’t care about him. “Do you love him?”
    “Cassidy. I’m not comfortable talking about this with you. You don’t know him. Mr. Smith is a great guy. Please, stop worrying about me.”
    She saw Scott storming up to the house, and she cut the call short. Cassidy met him coming out of the kitchen. He slammed the kitchen door shut with his boot.
    “Fucking fucker!” he yelled. When he turned, he froze in place the moment he saw her.
    Seconds later, Gary came charging through the kitchen door. “What the fuck did you call me?”
    Jesse and Roy followed behind them. All of the brothers stopped the moment they saw her. She folded her arms under her breasts, staring at her men. Scott looked ready to kill, Gary much the same, while the younger two looked fed up with the whole situation.
    She stared at them, tapping her foot. Eventually, Scott and Gary looked down at the floor. She would have laughed at their guilty expression when they faced her if the situation had been different. The situation wasn’t comical.
    “What is going on with you two?” she asked.
    Scott looked up first, ready to begin arguing.
    “I don’t want you blaming someone. Do you two have any idea what you’re doing to the people around you?” She looked at Roy and Jesse.
    Gary glared at his younger brothers, but she went up to him and grabbed his chin, firmly. “Don’t even think about using your superiority as the older brother to get your way. We’re supposed to be in this relationship together. I can’t do this with you two if you’re fighting each other at every turn. What you’re doing is making life uncomfortable. Not just for your brothers and Michael but for me as well.”
    She let him go and took a step back.
    “I’ve got to get dinner ready. Please, sort this out.” Cassidy brushed past them going into the kitchen. She ran her fingers through her hair and moaned in frustration. Lou was holding something back, and Scott and Gary had serious brother issues. She wanted to go dancing and take the next step with her men, and it felt like she was getting further away from going over that step.

    Scott was embarrassed that Cassidy had witnessed his temper. He couldn’t help it. Gary wound him up so easily, and he hadn’t been able to control himself.
    “I’m going to the gym.” His fathers had built a gym in the basement for him to lose his temper without fear of him getting into trouble.
    “Is that what you’re going to do? Run and hide?” Gary asked.
    “I’m not fucking running from you.” Scott pushed him away and went down to the gym. He opened the door, turned the light on, and pulled off his shirt.
    The punching bag in the corner looked good. He didn’t bother with the proper care. He just needed to let off steam and quickly. Taking a deep breath, he punched the bag in the center.
    He heard someone behind him and didn’t bother to check who it was. All he saw in his mind was Cassidy and the look of disappointment on her face. A few more punches and he was building up a sweat.
    “You know you’re going to hurt yourself and piss Cassidy off
