fucking rib, Dare! I ’ ll kill you! ”
“ Don ’ t be a chicken shit, Craze. ”
I walked away, jumping from the pit and grimacing. Sebastian wasn ’ t far behind, and it wasn ’ t long before the crowd swallowed us. Guys slapped me on the back, congratulating me, and two girls surrounded me, kissing my cheeks.
“ First round ’ s on me, little brother. ”
Sebastian held a shot to my lips. The two girls had wrapped themselves around me and I wasn ’ t able to grab the shot myself. Sebastian barely gave me a chance to throw my head back before he emptied the liquid down my throat. It slipped from the sides of my mouth, but there was a warm tongue licking it up. I wanted to push her away- I should have pushed her away- but I didn ’ t.
I was slowly drowning and I didn ’ t care if I lived or died.
“ S omebody turn off the goddamn sun! ” I growled, rolling over. “ Shit! ”
Unfortunately, I realized too late that I ’ d passed out on the couch and not my bed. There was no mattress to catch me and I fell face first on the floor. I deflated against the carpet, having no urge to move.
“ Well, good morning, sunshine, ” Sebastian drawled, walking into the living room.
He must have just gotten out of the shower because he wore only a pair of jeans and he was towel drying his hair. He sat in the chair across from me, grinning.
“ Someone doesn ’ t know how to handle his liquor. ” He made a tsking sound.
“ That ’ s because this someone doesn ’ t drink like a fish like his brother or... Fuck, my head hurts! ” I groaned, flipping onto my back. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly and opened them wide. “ What happened last night? ”
“ Rule number one, little brother, never drink so much that you don ’ t remember the night before. That can get you into a lot of shit! ”
“ Don ’ t you think you should have remembered that piece of advice before you continuously fed me shot after shot? ”
“ Thanks, boys. ” My head flipped back at the sound of her voice and a small blonde emerged from the hallway. I didn ’ t recognize anything about her. When she reached the door, she turned back and blew a kiss toward us. “ Last night was fun. ”
When the door closed, I lifted onto my elbows and looked at Sebastian. “ Seriously, what the fuck happened last night? ”
Sebastian laughed out loud and got up, walking back toward his room.
“ Sebastian! ” I called after him, but he just continued to laugh. “ You better not have involved me in any of your kinky shit! We ’ re brothers, for Christ sake! ” He was silent. “ Sebastian! ”
His laughter died behind the bathroom door, and I was left with the urge never to drink again and to take a very long, very hot shower. Never again. It wasn ’ t worth the unknown.
The only thing I vaguely remembered was stumbling through the apartment at three in the morning. At least I think it was three in the morning. I didn ’ t remember the blonde, which gave me high hopes that she came into the picture after I passed out. That was my story and I was sticking to it.
My throat felt like the Sahara Desert and I knew I needed water in my near future. I could see a half-filled water bottle in the center of the of the glass table. It seemed like a million miles away, but I twisted and reached for it with the tips of my fingers.
“ Ahh. ” I hissed and pulled back, holding my side. It was sore to the touch. Leaning back, I pulled up my shirt and bent over. “ What the hell! ”
Jumping up, I ran to the bathroom and lifted my shirt to inspect my ribs in the mirror. I ran my fingers over the swollen skin.
“ Crazy shit, right? But Stitch did a pretty damn good job, didn ’ t he? ”
“ A tattoo? You had me get a tattoo! And by Stitch? ” I tilted my head to the side and peered at it closer.
“ Me? It was your idea! ”
“ I was drunk, you fucking moron! ”
“ Okay, you were insisting! You threatened to break a beer bottle
