Ethan

Ethan gritted his teeth as he looked over at Ivy and then Trey as they shared a look. He knew the look Trey was giving her, knew it all too well, and it was pissing him off. Trey had no right to look at her like that. He’d never had an interest in Ivy before. Her future was important, dammit. Maybe Trey didn’t give a shit, but she wasn’t his stepsister.

Stabbing at the chicken he thrust a piece into his mouth and chewed fiercely, not really tasting the food, but attempting to pull his thoughts from the idea of Trey and Ivy together. The idea of the two of them naked, together, limbs entwined, Ivy moaning his Trey’s name flashed into his mind. It was driving him near insanity.

The thing was that it wasn’t so much the fact that he didn’t want Trey with Ivy, but it was the fact that he was the one Ivy was supposed to want. But instead, she was arguing with him and giving Trey the sweet sexy smile that was supposed to be for him. Him dammit!

Grabbing his half-empty beer he downed the remainder. Let it go man, let it go. You had your shot.… He couldn’t.

“So instead of studying so you can be a doctor, like you’ve dreamed of being, you’re wasting it… For what, to get laid by some frat boy?” Pushing his chair back, he stood and made his way to the refrigerator and grabbed another beer. When he spun back around he was face to face with Trey.

“What the hell is wrong with you man?” Trey whispered. “You’ve been worked up this past year because Ivy took off without a word to you and now that she’s back you’re being a fucking dick. Give her a damned break.”

Taking a deep breath in, Ethan slowly exhaled as he twisted off the top of the fresh bottle of beer. “You don’t get it Trey and I don’t feel like explaining it. She’s not your responsibility.”

“And she’s not yours either. What I get is she cooked us dinner and asked us to hang out with her for the first time in over a year and you’re going to chase her off. What the hell man?”

“You don’t get it,” Ethan repeated. He looked over Trey’s shoulder to see Ivy, who was picking at the barely touched food on her plate, and another surge of guilt rushed over him. Trey was right, he was being a dick. She was here and he was finally going to have an opportunity to explain why he’d rejected her and he was close to blowing that chance – for what? His ego? Because she may be interested in someone other than him? “It’s complicated.”

“Well, you have a choice, stop being an ass or I’m taking her out of here for the night. It’s not cool, man.”

“Fine.” Ethan attempted to move past Trey, to be stopped. Their gazes locked. “I said, it’s fine.” Giving Trey a shove out of the way, Ethan stepped past him, walked across the kitchen and took his seat to the right of Ivy.
