girl home before, so I’m trying to understand exactly who you are.”
“No, we’re not doing it.” I laughed. Holy crap. “Honestly…I’m no one important.”
Dax towered over me as he brought his face even closer. “So if you’re not dating or screwing my brother, I’ll take it that you’re single and looking for some fun, right?”
“How old are you?” I poked him in the chest and stepped back.
He swelled with pride. “Sixteen. Seventeen in a few months. I’m a junior.”
“Well, I’m a sophomore. In college .”
“So?” he said with an impish wink. “I happen to like older, more experienced women.” He reached out to brush my cheek. “They’re usually—”
“Hey!” Before I had a chance to push his hand away, Dare was between us. He grabbed Dax’s wrist, twisted his arm behind his back, and placed him in a chokehold. “Watch where you put those hands if you still wanna be able to throw a football tomorrow.” Releasing him, he playfully smacked Dax on the back of his head.
“I’m only six years younger than you.” Dax growled and jumped on Dare’s back, trying to take him down, but his ass met the floor when Dare tossed him. “And why do you care about my relationship with Reagan? She said she’s not with you.”
Dare’s gaze flitted over to me. “That doesn’t mean you’re allowed to have her.” His dark look and tone made my skin tingle and my cheeks heat. I kind of liked the idea of him staking claim to me, even if it was only to ward off his horndog brother.
I had to look away before spontaneously combusting. “Dalia, do you need help putting these groceries away?”
Dalia narrowed her eyes at me, then Dare. “Sure thing, Just Reagan. My spidey sense tells me there’s a little more to that ‘just’ than either of you are admitting.”
Dare grabbed her elbow as she passed by. “Listen, I gave Mom some money. Make sure she uses it on train tickets and to get the car fixed. Not on anything else, okay? She looks…tired.”
“She’s going to meetings, Dare. I swear.”
“I know.” His lips tightened and he seemed to shut down after that. We managed to put away most of the groceries before he finally spoke again. “School okay, guys?”
“Yeah,” Dalia said as Dax nodded. “Fine.”
“Any forms you need me to sign?”
They both shook their heads.
“But you better come to our homecoming game,” Dax said. “I’m starting QB this year. No junior in the history of our entire school has ever started at homecoming.”
“I guess all that food you’re inhaling is going to good use.” Dare laughed and mussed Dax’s hair.
Dax punched his shoulder. “So are you gonna come or what?”
“I’ll be there if I don’t have to work.” Dare crossed his arms over his chest and fixed his gaze on them. “Anything else you want to confess while I’m here?”
Dax turned to Dalia with a knowing smirk. “Dalia has a booooyfriend .”
Dalia gasped. “I do not!”
“Stephanie Matthews saw you making out with Tyler Rodn—”
“Oh, my god! DAX!” She smacked his arm hard. “That’s such a lie! Dare, he’s just making shit up, because I threatened to tell—”
“Shut it, Dalia! You promised you wouldn’t say anything to Dare.”
“Well, that was before you started on Tyler!”
“That’s because Tyler has fucked around with every single girl in our school. He’s Harrison High’s biggest player.”
“No, I’m pretty sure that sleazy title belongs to you!” Dalia yelled as she hurled a dishcloth at his chest.
I found myself grinning like a fool. There was something so warm and mesmerizing about their bickering. However chaotic, the exchange was bursting with affection and comfortable familiarity. When Pierce, Quinn, and I had fought, it was cold and calculated with pure intent to harm.
Dare’s whistle made me jump. “Alright, enough!”
“In all seriousness,” Dalia said, ignoring her brother’s warning looks, “I think Dare needs
