CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“What?” Nate shifted his gaze to his brother.

“Where the hell’s your mind?” Court sighed. “You haven’t heard a word I said.”

His mind was on Taylor. Where else would it be after having her stare into his eyes, asking if she was allowed to notice them? After experiencing his first-ever streak of jealousy—an emotion he’d never expected to feel in his lifetime—because she apparently had it in her to appreciate a man, or men in this case, who wasn’t him. They were surrounded daily by men, other agents, and she’d never once indicated that she thought their eyes were sexy.

Court snapped his fingers in front of Nate’s face. “Yo, dude, what’s wrong with you? You’re spacey. You’re never spacey.”

“You think my eyes are sexy?” Hell! Did that really come out of his mouth? “You say one word right now, I’m going to put you on your ass.”

His douchebag brother’s lips twitched, then furiously twitched. Then laughter burst out of his mouth. He laughed so hard that his face turned red and tears rolled down his eyes. Nate considered the ways he could get away with fratricide.

“What’s so funny?” Alex said, walking into the Aces & Eights office.

“Nothing,” Nate said, shooting Court an I’m-going-to-kill-you-if-you-open-your-mouth glare.

“Didn’t you once tell me you thought our big brother had sexy eyes?” Court said, between gasps.

Alex dropped onto the opposite end of the couch from Court. “I did?”

“You’re a walking dead man,” Nate said to Court.

Court grinned. “Probably, but I’ll go out knowing I’ve never been more entertained.”

“Asshole,” Nate growled, which sent his idiot brother into more laughter.

“Feeling like I walked in on the end of a movie here.” Alex darted glances between him and Court. “One of you needs to share before I decide to make you.”

“Since Alex could put both of us on our backs without half trying, I’ll—”

“Shut the hell up, Court.” Nate pushed his chair away from the desk. “I’m out of here for the night. You two can close up.” He picked up the plastic bag filled with water he’d set under the desk earlier.

“What’s up with the fish?” Alex asked.

Nate walked out without answering. Court would tell Alex why he’d been laughing, which only proved why Nate rarely shared. Swear to God, he loved his brothers, but sometimes he was positive their development had hit a snag somewhere in their teens. The stupidest, most juvenile things amused them.

The door hadn’t yet closed behind him when he heard Alex’s belly laugh. Nate shook his head with a sigh. He’d be hearing about sexy eyes for the next month. He couldn’t stop a smile. Dumbass brothers. He reached the door to the garage behind Aces & Eights before remembering that he’d walked out without getting Court’s update on his research into murders with a similar M.O. Letting out a long sigh, he did an about-face, heading back to Comedy Central.
