Chapter Seventeen

Kingston

“What the fuck, Phoenix!” I scowled as I tried and failed to cover Briar up. The small blanket from the back of the couch was too little to completely cover even a tiny woman like Briar.

Not to mention the fact that I was still inside her. Condom and all.

Dammit. If I couldn’t cover her with the blanket, I’d do it with my body. I rolled us until my ass faced our audience while trying to help Briar cover up her bits with the small blanket.

“I told you we were coming,” my brother replied somewhere behind me, meaning he was unabashedly watching us scramble to cover up.

“Get the fuck out!” I shouted over my shoulder.

Nix straightened from his slouch. “Hey, you said I could stay while I—”

“Wait outside,” I bit out between clenched teeth. “We gotta get dressed. You and I will talk once we’re all wearing clothes.”

“Ah, gotcha. We’ll just…” Nix gestured with his thumb toward the still open front door.

“GET. OUT!” If it were possible, I would’ve lit my stupid brother on fire with my eyes alone. Unfortunately, that wasn’t a power I had—in real life or in any of my movies.

A beat later, the door quietly closed behind them.

“So…that was my brother.” A brother I was going to happily kill in a few minutes for a variety of reasons.

“And your mom.” Briar shook her head, her eyes wide. “What are we going to do? They saw everything. Everything, King. And now you’re going to introduce me as the nanny? This is my worst nightmare.”

I sat up and took a deep breath, trying to steel my homicidal rage. My brother was such a goddamn dipshit. Had he never heard of calling first? Or texting? Why hadn’t I changed Nix’s access codes? And what the fuck was he thinking, bringing our mom to my house?

I had to end that train of thought. I was getting too worked up. My jaw grinding, I took a quick second and pulled off the condom with a tissue, then pulled on my boxers.

Meanwhile, Briar had hopped off the couch and was currently tangling up her shorty shorts and tank top. Her breath was audible, coming in quick panting gasps. Like she was panicking.

“Baby, look at me.”

Briar’s eyes were huge in her sweet, pale face.

“It’s going to be okay.” I took her tangled clothes from her and quickly straightened them out. “It’s not ideal, but it’s my family. We don’t do things exactly the normal, easy way. I’ll have a chat with my brother and make sure he doesn’t give you a hard time about what he saw.”

“But your mom, Kingston. She saw us. Together. And I’m Zoe’s nanny!” Briar wobbled as she stepped into her shorts.

I held her side for balance and tried to keep my tone mild. “I’ll have her sign an NDA. I don’t exactly trust her much anymore. But it’ll be fine. You’ll see.”

“But they’ll know. I’m your employee and I’m sleeping with you. They’ll think…not so good things about me.
