How much time did he actually spend snooping around in there?
“Why do I need to know about that? What did you do?” I can’t hide the suspicion in my tone and from Maddox's expression it can hardly be anything good.
“Yeah what did you do, Mad?” Max frowns at his brother, clearly having been kept out of the loop for this.
Maddox tongues his cheek and tries not to laugh as he confesses, “I may have came in it.”
I blink slowly as his words sink in. “You…when did you—actually, no, I don’t need to know that!” The moisturizer is in my bag, wherever that is and once I get hold of it, it’s going straight in the trash. As much as I enjoy them coming on me, I am not into rubbing old come into my skin.
Max shakes his head as he curls his lip. “You’re so gross, Mad.”
“Don’t judge me for that!”
"You're such a little pervert. Are you going to tell her about your drawer of panties or am I?"
"I'll tell her if you tell us why your cock is still hard."
Max's face hardens as we all look down at his angry looking erection.
"I took some viagra earlier," he mumbles and my eyes widen. "Don't look at me like that. I was worried I might not be able to last. Sometimes…sometimes the pain makes it hard to—well to get hard. I didn't want to embarrass myself."
Maddox snorts out a laugh and I tap him on the arm. "Don't be mean to your brother."
"I'm not, it's just," he laughs again. "Dude,you're worried about being embarrassed when you've been walking around with the freaking Eiffel Tower between your legs all night. Actually, that gives me an idea. Do you have any more pills?"
Max nods which makes Maddox grin wildly. As he slowly fixes his eyes on me and runs his tongue over his lip, I know I'm in trouble.
"I knowexactlywhat we're doing tomorrow. Viagra and pussy for breakfast then we'll show our horny little sister how to make a real Eiffel Tower."
I'm not sure I want to know what that means, but I find myself asking anyway.
Maddox starts going into explicit detail about the position and all the other ones he wants to try. Most of which sound impossible and my eyes grow wider with each one.
Max smacks him on the back of the head. "Shut it. You've upset her."
"No you haven't," I say, but when I wipe my cheek I find it wet. Heavy tears pour out of me and don’t stop falling.
I try to hide my face from them, but Max wraps his arms around me, holding me tight and Maddox takes hold of my hands as our legs tangle together.
“We took things too far,” Maddox says quietly to Max.
“You took it too far you pervert!” Max hisses at his brother, like I won't be able to hear him even though I'm stuck between them. I shake my head and Max asks, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry. I think I'm just overwhelmed. It’s not my place to cry, you’re the one that got hurt. It’s just…I should have beenthere for you. For both of you. Max, I don’t know how to make up for what I’ve missed, but if there’s anything you need I’m here for you. Always.”
“Sweetheart, you don’t need to do anything. You being ours is all I need. Allweneed.”
“I don’t know. I wouldn’t say no to her wearing a sexy little nurse outfit as she looks after you.” The corner of Maddox’s lip curls up in a small smirk, but I know his humor is only to hide his pain.
“Maddox,” I say solemnly and his smile drops as he swallows. “I shouldn’t have given up so easily and left when you were clearly hurting. I’m sorry.”
“Vi, baby, you don’t have to apologize for anything. We were all in a lot of pain. We’ve all done things we’re sorry for, but we’re together now.”
“Forever?” I ask, looking between them both.
Max plants a delicate kiss on my shoulder before saying, “Even longer.”
“There’s no escaping us again, baby,” Maddox winks at me.
