My Ex-Boyfriend’s Brothers: Chapter 37
My Ex-Boyfriend’s Brothers: A Contemporary Reverse Harem Romance (Ex Marks the Spot)
Knocking on my door jarred me awake and had me stumbling over multiple male bodies to get out of bed. I pulled on Jacksonâs robe and grabbed my phone, terrified that Iâd slept through an important meeting. It was just after eight in the morning and I didnât have anything until ten that day. I was in such a daze that I pulled the door open without a second thought for those male bodies Iâd tripped over.
Christina stood on the other side, a bright smile on her face and a to-go cup of coffee in her hand. âI woke you up! Iâm so-â
I watched her eyes shift to the room behind me and widen. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw that all three of the older Heath brothers were in plain sight, still sleeping soundly. I slowly turned back to her in true horror movie fashion and cleared my throat. âUmâ¦â
She grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room. She did a little happy dance and then shoved the coffee at me. âHoly shit. I mean⦠Holy shit, Maggie! You bagged all three of the older brothers? My bridesmaids are going to be devastated.â
I covered my face with my free hand. âI canât believe I just opened the door like that. Please donât tell anyone. Iâm so embarrassed.â
She shook her head. âNo, girl. Donât be embarrassed. You should be flaunting your stuff all over this lodge. Youâre a badass! I need to hear everything. Absolutely everything and if you leave out a single detail, Iâll know.â
âI donât know how to explain. I⦠Oh, god. I just woke up and my mind is imploding.â I took a long drink of the coffee, the sweetness exploding across my tongue and making me groan. âHow did you know my coffee order?â
âI know everything. I was coming to invite you to the spa with me. I saw Devon and asked him to take over for you today so you donât have an excuse to back out on me.â She grasped my hand with both of hers. âPlease say youâll come with me. Even if you donât want to tell me a single thing about your love life. Iâd love to spend some time with you.â
For some strange reason, tears peppered my eyes. I tried to play them off and Christina gratefully let me. âOkay. Sure. Let me get ready and then Iâll meet you in the lobby in fifteen minutes. Is that okay?â
She grinned. âIs fifteen minutes going to be enough with all that man muscle in your bed?â
I groaned and backed into my door. Gripping the handle, I realized I was locked out at the same moment the door opened. I stumbled backwards into Lukeâs chest and he easily caught me around my waist. My face flared. âWell.â
Luke kept his grip on me and brushed his nose down the crook of my neck. âI figured you locked yourself out. Good morning, Christina.â
âWow. Wow, wow, wow. You guys are hot together.â She fanned herself. âGood morning, I mean. Iâm going to be borrowing your lady for the day. Iâm treating her to a spa trip.â
Luke grunted. âJust the two of you?â
I gently elbowed him. âIt doesnât matter who else Christina invites to the spa day she planned.â
âJust the two of us.â Christina grinned. âThis is interesting. Are you okay with me grilling Maggie about your relationship today?â
I winced, fully prepared to hear Luke say no or to let her know that we werenât in a relationship. At least not yet. He shocked me, though.
âMaggie can tell you whatever she wants to about our relationship. Talk her into settling for me, if you can.â Luke backed into the room, taking me with him. âHow long do we have until this spa day?â
âFifteen minutes.â Christina laughed out loud at the cranky grunt Luke released. âSorry, bud.â
âFine. Weâre closing you out now.â Luke shut the door hard and then spun me around and pinned me to it. âI slept in. Gregorâs going to love your influence on me.â
I ran my hand over the extra beard growth he had coming in. âI couldâve slept about a dozen hours more. The bed is ridiculously too small, though. Or weâre all too big.â
He lowered his mouth to mine and softly kissed me. âWeâre all the right size. Itâs the bed and this room thatâs the issue. Iâll take care of it today.â
I wrapped my arms around his neck. âItâs fine. I donât mind the room. I can just stay in your cabin if you want me to spend the night.â
âThen weâll just move your stuff into my cabin.â He trailed kisses across my jaw and nipped my ear. âBecause I want.â
It took all my strength to push him away so I could get ready. He stood in the doorway and watched me as I brushed my teeth and hair. Then, he watched me pull on a bra and panties with a very clear erection. I kept glancing at it and blushing. I wanted to crawl back in bed with him and maybe wake up Ryan and Jackson with our movements. Instead, I pulled on a shirt and leggings.
âYouâre so fucking sexy, Maggie.â Tugging me into his chest, Luke kissed me with enough passion that my toes curled. When he did let me go, he growled. âYouâre spending the night in my cabin tonight and Iâm having you for dinner, no matter if Jackson is healed or not.â
I bit my lip and nodded. âThat sounds good.â
âGo, baby. Before I fuck up your plans with Christina.â
I chanced kissing him once more and then rushed to plant gentle kisses to both Ryan and Jacksonâs cheeks before running out of the room to meet Christina. The stupid grin on my face was embarrassing but there was no getting rid of it.
As soon as Christina saw me, she stood up and laughed. Her smile was bright and happy. âGod, you look so happy. I canât wait to hear everything.â
