“Call me Bella.” She reached out and took Autumn’s hand in hers. “Come. Let’s find you something to eat. You look hungry.”
Okay, he hadn’t thought she’d fall that quickly for Autumn. Tutu gave him a startled look, but he just smiled back at her. Autumn could use a family and he was happy to share his. Especially if it got his sisters off his back. He couldn’t believe those T-shirts.
They were the worst.
“Come, take off your jackets,” his mother said. “Come in and make yourselves at home.”
“Hey, aren’t you going to introduce us?” Jodie complained.
He sighed as they all walked into the small living area. Everyone found somewhere to perch, leaving him standing with the Fox while his mother tugged Autumn toward the kitchen, asking her what her favorite food was.
“I was hoping to forget you all exist,” he muttered.
“Aww, Boo-boo, didn’t you like our gift?” Nina said.
“We were just trying to be welcoming,” Lissy added.
“It wasn’t nice,” the Fox suddenly stated. “You embarrassed him. Don’t do that again.”
They all gaped at the Fox, including him.
Oh. Shit.
Even his mother and Autumn turned back from the doorway. Tutu gave him an alarmed look.
Yep. He got that.
“Ah, Fox,” he muttered, moving closer to the man.
“Yeah? And who is going to stop us?” Sam asked, fiddling with her glasses. She was usually the quietest, but that didn’t mean she was to be underestimated. Nope. She was sneakier than the rest of them put together. Those T-shirts had been her idea.
The Fox folded his arms over his chest. “I am.”
Brody braced himself for the explosion.
“Whoa, that was hot,” Lissy whispered.
Wait. What?
He looked over at the doorway, but luckily his mother and Tutu were gone.
Why weren’t they all screaming? Why weren’t they trying to cut the Fox off at the knees?
“Yeah, you can say that again,” Jodie said.
“Totally sexy,” Nina added. “And I never thought I’d say that about anyone Boo-boo brought home.”
“We always figured no one would be worthy of our baby brother,” Lola said. She walked over to the Fox, wrapping her arm around his. “But you . . . we like you.”
They all nodded in agreement.
“What is happening?” he asked in bewilderment. “What’s wrong with you all? Oh my God! It finally happened. Zombies ate your brains.”
“Boo-boo, you’re always so dramatic,” Jodie said.
“If zombies ate our brains, wouldn’t we be zombies?” Nina asked.
Anna was tugging the Fox over to a chair. And for some reason, he was allowing it. What was he doing? Why was he letting his sister pull him around?
What would you rather? That he protested? You’ve been the one begging him not to do anything to scare your sisters.
Although, he’d thought that the Fox’s words would have pissed them off. Instead, they were acting like he was royalty. Lissy sat on his other side while the others crowded around while he stood there, feeling completely off kilter. They were all pestering the Fox with questions.
“Pod people,” he said.
They all went silent, staring up at him.
Nina sighed loudly. “Brody, we haven’t been taken over by pod people.”
“Are you sure?” he asked.
The Fox stood.
“Where are you going?” Anna asked, staring up at him.
“My Pup needs me and I’ve lost track of my girl.”
Brody gulped. Were they going to say something about him calling Brody his pup?
“Pup?” Amusement filled Jodie’s eyes.
“Well, he does have cute puppy dog eyes,” Lissy said.
Brody groaned. “Just stop.”
“Yeah, but he’s not like a Rottweiler pup,” Nina said, flicking her long dark hair over her shoulder.
“No, more like a chihuahua,” Jodie said.
“No way,” Lissy protested. “Chihuahuas can be vicious. I think he’s one of those teddy bear dogs. Cute and cuddly.”
He groaned. They were seriously going to be the death of him.
The Fox stepped up. “There’s nothing wrong with cute and cuddly.”
“Who knew that sweet little Boo-boo, who spent most of his time playing alone in his bedroom, would have such a hot boyfriend,” Jodie mused.
“And girlfriend,” Nina added. “Maybe we should go ask her if he’s treating her right.”
Brody stepped back, pointing at them all. “No. Nope. Do not start. Come on, Fox. Let’s find Tutu.”
“Pup,” the Fox said warningly as he drew him out of the room.
“Let’s get Tutu. We need to leave.”
Suddenly, he found himself turned and pressed against the wall. The Fox crowded in on him, his hands either side of his head.
“What are you doing? Someone might see us,” he asked nervously.
The Fox shoved his leg between Brody’s, placing his thigh against his firm dick. He whimpered.
“Fox.”
“What do you call me?”
“Sir. They’re going to walk in here.”
“So?” the Fox asked. He cupped the side of his face. “I don’t care what they do, what they think, or say. All I care about is you and our girl and the way they affect you. You’re upset.”
He sighed. “You’re not upset by anything they said?”
“No. Like I said, all that concerns me is the two of you. So do you want to leave?”
