Chapter 73 Chapter Seventy-Three
Dad scoffs. "I know she is gorgeous. That's the whole damn problem. I don't want you boys thinking she is gorgeous. I want you guys to see her as a sister. I know what goes through your minds. Just keep your damn hands off her." Dad says and I can hear the seriousness in his voice.
"Just our hands dad?" Reece asks. "What about our mouths?"
Dad laughs a humorless laugh and I almost lose it. Why the hell would he ask something like that? I swear my brothers are idiots sometimes.
"You know what I mean asshole. Everyone keep all of your body parts off your damn sister."
"Whatever you say dad!" Raikin answers and Reece chimes in. "Yep Dad. Don't worry, we will keep our body parts to ourselves."
Dad sighs. "You better and tell Ryder to do the same. Speaking of which where the hell is he right now?"
Well I guess that's my cue. "Where is who dad?" I ask pretending like I wasn't just listening in on their entire conversation.
Dad narrows his eyes at me. "You. Where were you at?"
I shrug. "I was napping." Which is not technically a lie, I was holding Lilly while she napped, so I guess that kind of counts right?
"Keep your hands off Lilly." He says pointing at me.
I frown. "Damn Dad. I wish you would have told me that before I just fucked her a minute ago."
Reece and Raikin burst out laughing. Dad on the other hand looks like he is going to have a stroke. Opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water. "You better be joking Ryder or I swear to God I will make you wish you never touched your sister."
I laugh. "Calm down Dad. I was just kidding. You need to take a damn chill pill."
Dad gives me the kind of look that could kill someone. "You boys are going to be the death of me."
"We only fuck with you, because we love you Dad. But seriously you need to calm down. No one is touching Lilly." I lie. I don't know when it became so easy to lie to my dad, but I swear it's as easy as talking.
Dad huffs and walks out of the room. Reece, Raikin and I start laughing again. Once Dad is out of ear shot Reece turns to me. "Where is Lilly?"
"She's showering. She should be down here in a minute."
Almost on cue, Lilly walks into the room wearing a pair of yoga pants and little white tank top. "What are you guys talking about?" Lilly asks, fidgeting nervously as she looks between the three of us.
\-Lilliana's POV-
"We were just talking about you baby." Ryder says as he gives me a sweet smile.
My eyes widen slightly. "What about me?"
Reece walks over to me grabbing my hand in his. "I was wondering where you were at."
I look down at my hand in his. "Oh, I was showering. I just woke up not very long ago." I whisper, feeling a little uncomfortable.
I don't know if Reece is mad at me. Ryder says he isn't or if he is, he will get over it. I don't want him to be mad at me though. I don't like when anyone is mad at me, especially not someone I love.
Reece cups my cheek with his free hand and tilts my head up until I am looking at him. "I love you baby." He smiles at me and I feel a flood of emotions.
Relief, happiness, excitement, guilt, everything washes over me so fast from just those four little words I didn't know I needed to hear so desperately. He wouldn't say he loves me if he hated me, or if he was mad at me right? If he is mad, at least I know it won't be for long. You can't stay mad at someone you love for very long, at least I know I can't.
I feel a tear slide down my cheek. "I love you too Reece." I whisper, trying to hold back the flood of tears that are trying to escape.
Reece pulls me into him, holding me tight against his chest. "Don't cry baby. I didn't mean to upset you."
I bury my face in his chest. "You didn't upset me. I was just so worried that you were mad and would never forgive me. I was scared of losing you." I choke out between the tears, my voice breaking.
Reece rubs the back of my head, shushing me softly. "You will never lose me baby. Don't ever worry about that okay baby?"
I nod my head, not trusting my voice anymore. Reece kisses the top of my head, and I snuggle in closer to him, loving the feeling of his warmth enveloping me.
Reece keeps holding me, rubbing soothing circles on my back until I pull back slightly. I feel better knowing Reece still loves me and wants to be with me. There is still one brother though. The one that pretty much called me an untrustworthy whore. Ryder told me Raikin doesn't hate me, but I won't feel one hundred percent better until I hear it from him.
I give Reece one quick peck on the lips before pulling completely away from him. He let's go of me and I turn to Raikin who has been watching us this whole time. I take a few tentative steps towards him, not really sure if he even wants me close to him right now.
“Hey.” I whisper awkwardly once I am standing just a foot or so away from him. I stare down at the floor, unable to look him in the eyes.
