“WHEW,” LENNY CORWIN said under his breath as he ogled the curvy blonde walking past them. “I’d like to take her for a ride. She’s turned me down four times, though. But she’s giving you the do-me look, Xander. You gonna go for it?”

At the pool table, Xander gave the blonde a dismissive glance then lined up his next shot. “Zane went out with her.”

“So?”

“Bennett brothers don’t share,” Joe Beck piped up from his spot watching Xander clear the table. Joe sucked at pool. Always had. Xander almost felt bad about taking his money. Almost. “Remember? Any chick one of them does—”

Xander lifted his gaze, spearing the other man with a narrow look.

“Dates,” Joe corrected. He cleared his throat. Took a sip of beer. “Any chick one of them dates,” he repeated, “is on the other’s do-not-touch list.”

“Is that why the two of you live on opposite coasts? To keep the field clear for the other?”

Zane laughed. “No. It’s so we can spread the joy of the Bennett brothers around. Our little favor to womankind.”

At their table in the corner, Kyle Daley poured his fourth glass of beer, emptying the pitcher. “Methinks it’s challenge time.”

Challenge time.

Jesus Christ.

Xander banked the eight ball into the side pocket. “No.”

“C’mon, it’s tradition,” Mike Harris said.

Kyle leaned back—and almost toppled over before catching his balance. Another thing that hadn’t changed. Kyle couldn’t hold his beer worth shit.

After two attempts, he lifted his feet—one, then the other—onto the table. “He’s got a point. We’ve been issuing challenges since second grade when Joe dared the two of you to jump off the dugout roof to see who could land closest to the pitcher’s mound.”

Zane had won, beating Xander by six inches and breaking his ankle in the process.

“Or Mike’s cookie challenge. Xander won that one. How many snickerdoodles did you eat? Four dozen?”

Xander’s stomach turned. He hasn’t been able to eat a snickerdoodle since.

And he loved snickerdoodles.

“Four dozen and two,” he corrected. He nodded in his brother’s direction. “Zane upchucked at forty-nine.”

“Drag racing on Old March Road.”

“Who could catch the most bass when we camped at Adobe Creek.”

“Who could get the most applause singing ‘Living on a Prayer’ in the cafeteria.”

Xander caught Zane’s eye roll, amusement on his brother’s face. The challenges hadn’t been so bad when they’d been young.

But he didn’t play games now.

And his career gave him plenty of challenges. He didn’t need these bozos coming up with stupid dares so he could prove himself.

Xander shot the last ball into the pocket and Zane stood. “I think we’ve outgrown being dumbasses.”

Mike looked like a kid whose favorite toy just got run over by a semi. “We can’t have a reunion without a challenge.”

Joe rejoined them, carrying a full pitcher of beer. “And I’ve got the perfect one. Remember the girl everyone wanted to date in school?”

Zane frowned. “No.”

Of course Zane didn’t know who Joe was talking about. Back in high school, if Zane wanted to date a girl, he dated her.

He’d always been the master at getting what he wanted.
