233–Sitting In His Lap! 
Nora: 

“Come have a seat with us,” Ryker said, not raising his head from the cards he was holding and tapping his thigh loudly. 
I looked around in shock for responses, but it seemed like they were all here to tease me. None of them reacted as if he was doing something inappropriate with his sister. 
“Or maybe you can sit here,” Cain suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me over, making me land in his lap. 
The others lifted their heads and scowled before quickly looking back at their cards. 
It was then I realized why they were all acting strangely. Cain was the only one who didn’t know I had intimate relations with the others. Nash, Ryker, and Silas now knew I was being touched by them. Especially Ryker, who knew I was mated to Cain. 
But the way Cain grabbed me also proved he secretly didn’t like Ryker asking me to sit in his lap. 
“Are you crazy?” I hesitantly tried jumping out of Cain’s lap, but when I did, he slapped my butt and let me go. 

I was shocked, my eyes wide open and my jaw hanging low with my hand on my butt and my neck turned to look at him. 
He didn’t seem to care though. Cain sat and played like he hadn’t done anything. The others paid attention but secretly.

“Are you going to stand there and keep rubbing your ass?” Nash commented, making my body shudder at the way he mentioned my body so nonchalantly. 
I began to wonder if they all knew now that I had been intimate with all of them. 
“This is not a picnic spot. If Brody comes home and finds you all here—,” I shut up when I saw a smile creeping over their lips. 
“What?” I inquired, since they were being too subtle about their intentions. 
“He will kick you out?” Ryker didn’t sound sad or worried, but rather intrigued. 
“Poor thing! Don’t worry, we will take you back to your real home,” Silas pouted, moving his head along with his hands as he dropped the 
cards. 
“Okay, that’s enough. You all are acting weird. He wouldn’t kick me out, but he will be upset with you all,” I corrected them, watching them scoff and shrug their shoulders as if it didn’t bother them at all. 
“Tsk tsk tsk! We will be so heartbroken if he gets upset with us. How will we continue to live without him?” Cain, not changing his facial expressions, used a very dramatic tone to mock my statement. 
It made me recall why Brody and they didn’t like each other anymore. Now that I thought about it, I couldn’t help but stare at their faces one by one. Could they be behind those murders? 
“Did the whistler get caught?” The minute I asked that question, they looked at me suspiciously. 
“Why? Don’t you know already?” Nash hissed, his tone suddenly

changing. 
“Besides, why bring him up out of the blue?” Ryker inquired, and my body tensed up. 
“Because—,” the doorbell halted the conversation. I stared at the door and then at the mess they had created in the living room. 
I got too worried. Who could be at the door? Oh no! Did they order more food? 
Without responding to them, I strode towards the door and opened it with the intent of finding more deliveries. However, shock hit me hard when instead I found Brody standing outside with a big smile on his lips. 
“Hey, my cute friend, did you miss me?” He seemed so innocently happy to be back at the apartment we shared. 
I was frozen to my spot and also worried about what would happen now that he would see the brothers in the apartment with me. Basically, his apartment. 
“Why do you look so shocked? Are you not happy to see me come back?” His fading smile broke my heart. He didn’t deserve this. 
“No! Of course, I’m happy. I’ve missed spending time with you,” I quickly went in for a side hug, but he wrapped his arms around me tightly and rocked his body, letting out breaths of relief. 
“I know. Being all alone by yourself in the apartment must have been a challenge,” he was speaking in soft murmurs, and I was scared to ask him to break the hug before someone saw us. 
“You came back early?” And that’s exactly what happened.

Silas asked, and Brody stopped moving. In fact, his heartbeat slowed suddenly. 
I quickly broke the hug and turned around to see if it was only Silas, but nope! Nash was also watching us. 
“What are you two doing here?” Brody questioned. His tone had changed, and his body was now emitting dark energy. I didn’t blame him. I would be upset to find my enemies in my home with Brody too. Even when we were just friends, respect and boundaries were not supposed to be crossed. 
“We were here with her, why?” Silas slid his hands into his pants pockets, acting carelessly. 
“You spent the night here?” Brody pointed at the floor. 
“Cain and I did. The others are also here now, we are playing games. You are welcome to join,” Silas had never spoken so casually to him. 
It felt like they were doing it purposely to irk him. 
“Actually,” I attempted to speak, but Brody wouldn’t break his stare. from the brothers. 
“What? Please tell me you are not going to make her explain our stay here. You shouldn’t be so controlling of her,” Nash dramatically shook his head, and that’s when Brody briskly walked past me and them, probably to his bedroom. I rushed after him but only to be stopped in my tracks when Nash grabbed my arm and then pushed me onto the couch. The brothers now stood in front of me, blocking my path. 
“What is going on?” Ryker asked his brothers as he too stood with them. Cain also seemed surprised at how angry Nash and Silas looked. 
“Ask her, why was she getting intimate with him?” Nash’s question

Nora: 
“What are you doing?” I hissed at the brothers They had really ruined everything for me. The fact that they didn’t want to keep me in their lives but also didn’t want me to stay happy in this apartment made me wonder if they were having a problem with me or what 
“What do you think, we are doing?” Silas hissed. 
“We found her hugging him, and—it wasn’t just a quick hug. It seemed passionate, and he had his eyes closed.” Nash muttered, explaining it in a way that left me speechless 
“It was just a hug between friends,” I tried to jump in to tell my side. but Cain pointed his finger at me and then tapped the same finger onto lus lips, silencing me 
“You found them hugging” he asked Nash again, who nodded, looking so rad that he confused me with his aggression
