Dominic Rossi
The rest of the guys go out to pick up a few things for tonight while I sit out on the front porch smoking a joint and wait for Kylie to return from her run. She seemed pretty pissed off, so it was more likely to be awhile before she came back. The angier she was, the longer she ran to burn off the steam.
Kaz and Banks were going to get us into some big shit with her brothers if they kept their shit up. Catching Kaz up against her in the kitchen, and her not even fighting it? We were going to have some big fucking problems. She needed a release. And not the kind found in blasting her shitty angry chick music, or running it out. Not even the release she found with those vibrators she kept in her dresser drawers. I may or may not have snooped through her room once or twice. Just out of curiosity. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, I'd just been bored and liked the way her room smelled. Like her.
Turning my head I see her coming down the street. I lift the joint to my lips as I watch her slow to a jog and then eventually stop and start to walk when she's a few houses down. Her ponytail stops swinging and I can see the sweat glistening off her stomach and chest from here. When her eyes lift towards the house and she spots me, she pauses briefly but then continues walking towards the house.
She was embarrassed. Ashamed I'd caught her letting Kaz mess with her. As she turns onto the walkway up to the house , she lifts her eyes again, breathing hard from her run, her skin flushed from the exercise.
I hold out the joint, and she shakes her head as she reaches the stop step and stands on the porch, uncapping her water bottle and taking a drink. I watch her as she guzzles it down and then lets out a refreshed exhale and then walks over towards me and sits down on the long bench with me, but a few feet away.
I turn my head to watch her as she leans her head back against the house, and my eyes go to her chest as it lifts with each heavy breath as she tries to cool herself down.
"We're having an ass night." I tell her, exhaling the last bit of my joint and letting the last burn out in the ashtray.
"A what?" she asks, turning her head and I smile.
"We usually have parties every year...they're called ass nights, because it brings around all the new girls." I say.
She rolls her eyes.
"Charming." she says and looks out over the yard, and lifts her water bottle taking another large sip.
"I know living here with us...having us...watch over you...isn't ideal." I say without looking at her, but I can see her turn her head toward me.
"Gee, ya think?" she asks and I fight the little smirk tugging at my lips, because I liked her when she got moody, when she got sassy. We all did. It was adorable. Though telling her that would only piss her off more.
"We decided to cut you some slack tonight." I say.
At this she sits up straight. "What do you mean?" she asks.
"We won't...breathe down your neck...and we won't chase off any guy that talks to you." I say.
"Yeah right." she says with a slight laugh of disbelief.
"You're not happy here." I say and look to her. Her brows pinch.
"Are you?" I ask.
She shrugs. "Yes and no."
I lean back against the house as well and look at her.
"Give me the pros and cons." I say.
She huffs a little laugh.
"The cons are...you guys are insufferable 80% of the time. to be fair...Kaz and Banks are insufferable 98% of the time." she says.
My lips quirk a little.
"I'm offended that the percentage of insufferability between me and Kaz and Banks is only an eighteen percent difference." I say and she rolls her eyes with a little smile.
"fine. You're like..70% insufferable" she says.
"Better, still a bit unfair..but i'll take it." I say and she smiles and then turns towards me, lifting one of her legs up on the bench and then the other.
She wraps her arms around her legs and rests her chin on her knee.
"How come none of you have girlfriends?" she asks and I cock my eyebrow.
'One thing at a time...finish your con list." I say.
She sighs.
"College is supposed to be about meeting people, making friends, having fun. I do all this work, and want to just have a life other than school work...and I can't have that. I can't even have female friends, because they all can't stand I'm a female living in a house with four of the hottest guys on campus." she says.
"You think we're hot?" I tease. I don't tease her. Ever. So she cocks her brow.
"It's not my observation. It's theirs." she says of the girls.
"Uh huh.Right." I say and she rolls her eyes.
"Okay KAZ." she says and I laugh.
"You need me to feed YOUR ego too Rossi?" she asks and I smile slightly.
"Any other cons?" I ask.
"Other than not being able to get laid. No." she says and I almost choke on my own breath.
She sighs. "Oh please, don't act like you know that's the sole purpose of you all watching over me. Is to keep me from getting into bed with someone who could taint my 'Balistreri Princess' image" she says using her fingers for air quotes.
I cock my head slightly . "And the pros?" I ask.
"You guys are so much like Angelo and Andre." she says.
"So...it's kinda like they're here in a way." she adds.
"Even though I hate their over protective bullshit....at the same time...it lets me know they care." she says and picks at the fabric of her leggings at the hem.
"You guys can be funny too." she says. I smile slightly and she lifts her eyes.
"but...I just want to be able to breathe..ya know?" she asks and I nod.
"Trust me..we're not trying to make you miserable on purpose...we'd expect your brothers to watch out for our sisters too if it was the other way around. You're a good girl. We just want it to stay that way." I tell her.
She cocks a brow.
"Who told you I was a good girl Dom?" she asks, and there's a slight playful tone to her voice, a slight husky suggestiveness that makes me have to look away from her as she peers at me with her pretty fucking green eyes.
"You are." I say.
"Not always." she says quietly and I turn to look back at her and she bites her lip, my nostrils flaring and I swallow as quietly as I can.
"Yeah...well." I say, when I have a loss of words. She smiles slightly and then swings her feet off the bench and stands.
"Well...I guess I'll go shower if you're all allowing the princess out of her tower tonight, to join her kings" she says sarcastically and takes a bow.
"Brat." I mutter as she laughs and walks into the house.
I sigh and lean my head back , and adjust my fucking dick that is running rampant with it's own thoughts after her suggesting she's not a good girl. Kaz was right...I wanted her, just as bad as the rest of them did.
Angelo and Andre would lose their shit if they even knew the ways we'd been thinking about their little sister.
I sit outside and just close my eyes, willing the fucking thoughts I'm having to go away, willing my dick to stay down.
Finally when I've managed to relax myself I go inside, and walk up stairs. My eyes stop on her as she walks out of the bathroom at the end of the hall right by the stairs that go up to her room in the attic. A towel piled ontop of her head. With a small white towel wrapped around her, that just covers her ass.
She stops. Both of us staring at one another. If I stood here one second longer, I was going to march down this hallway and rip that towel from her and take her against the wall.
I watch her eyes widen slightly as I move quickly toward her and then turning into my room and shutting the door behind me.
Fuck. None of us were going to last.
