Double Dare (Neighbor from Hell 6) - Page 17

“I’m sorry, Marybeth. I wish that I had better news,” Aidan said, releasing her hand so that he could put his arm around her and hold her just as the first sob broke free. “I’m so sorry,” he said roughly as he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. “So goddamn sorry.”

Grabbing onto his shirt, she buried her face against his shoulder and held on as she felt her heart finally break as her last hope that this was all a bad dream faded away.

Chapter 8

He closed the front door behind him and made his way to his door, wondering if he should call ahead and make reservations for dinner at Marybeth’s favorite restaurant or if he should-

“Stop being a baby and just do it!” Marybeth suddenly yelled, drawing his attention to her closed apartment door.

“Stop rushing me, woman! I’ll put it in you when I’m damn good and ready!” he heard what sounded like his brother Aidan growl, which of course had him setting his duffle bag on the floor and walking the short distance to Marybeth’s door.

“Just do it!”

“I will as soon as you stop moving!”

“Stop making excuses and do it! Put it in me!” Marybeth demanded right about the time that he sighed heavily as he slowly opened the door to find the woman that he loved bent over the end of the couch with her bare ass in the air and his brother shifting nervously behind her.            

“This is going to sting a little bit,” Aidan warned her as he placed his hand on her hip to hold her still.

“Then just do it!”

“Stop rushing me!”

“I wouldn’t have to rush you if you’d just do it and get it over with,” Marybeth pointed out with a huff as she shifted to get more comfortable while Aidan glared down at her bare ass.

“I’d be done by now if you’d stop moving! If you don’t like the way that I do this then next time schedule an appointment with Dad instead of asking me to pick up the medicine and doing it here!”

“If you don’t do it in the next minute, I’m going to-Oh, my fucking God!” she ended on a screech as Aidan shoved the largest needle that Darrin had ever seen into Marybeth’s beautiful ass.

“You son of a bitch!” Marybeth yelled around a choked gasp as Aidan pulled the needle out.

“I told you that it was going to hurt!”

“No, you told me that it was going to sting!”

“That’s the same damn thing!” Aidan pointed out as Marybeth reached back and struggled to pull her pants back up while she muttered some rather violent threats against Aidan’s ass.

Feeling a headache coming on, Darrin decided that he’d seen enough. Rubbing his hands roughly down his face, he turned around and left, deciding that a guy’s night out was definitely in order.

*-*-*-*

“What was that?” she asked, going completely still when she heard the telltale sound of a door closing.

“I think he saw,” Aidan said, sighing heavily as she yanked up her pants, trying not to panic.

“Shit!” she groaned, fumbling with her pants button for a minute until she gave up and headed for her front door.

“He probably didn’t hear much,” Aidan said, sounding hopeful and making her groan pathetically as she abruptly turned and headed towards her kitchen, deciding that she just didn’t have it in her to have this conversation with Darrin.

If he knew then they’d talk about it, but not right now when all she wanted to do was grab a Coke and the bag of Hershey Kisses that she had hidden in the box of tampons upstairs and veg out in front of the television. She grabbed two cans of Coke and headed upstairs, not really surprised when Aidan followed her. He didn’t say anything, probably because he was afraid that she’d start crying again, which she hated to admit, was a definite possibility, something that she didn’t want to do in front of Darrin.

She placed the Cokes on her nightstand and walked into her bathroom, pulled the bottom drawer open and picked up the economy sized box of tampons that she’d bought eight years ago and carried it back to the bed where Aidan was already lounging with one of her precious Cokes in his hand. Frowning, he watched as she opened the box and dumped the two large bags of Hershey Kisses that she’d been hiding from Darrin on the bed.

“What the hell……,” he murmured as he looked from the empty tampon box to the chocolate that she planned on devouring, back to the empty tampon box.

“Tell Darrin and I’ll make your life a living hell,” she promised, popping the top off her Coke with a sigh as she reached for the remote and settled in for a long, depressing night of Lifetime movies.

“Understood,” Aidan said with a nod as he reached for one of her bags of chocolate.

“Touch my chocolate and you’ll be singing soprano for the rest of your life,” she bit out, even as she shifted so that she could settle back against him.

He cleared his throat as he quickly lost interest in her chocolate and put his arm around her, “Duly noted.”

*-*-*-*

“Where’s Marybeth?” Reese asked as he sat down next to him at the crowded tavern table.

“At home,” he said on a tired sigh as he took a sip from his beer.

“Why didn’t she come?” his twin brother asked with a confused frown as Darrin was once again forced to shift his chair to the left and away from the couple making out next to him.

“Because this is a guy’s night out,” he bit out, looking pointedly at the two large bastards sitting to his right, the same ones that had not only brought their wives to guy’s night out, but who also couldn’t seem to stop kissing and pawing at their wives’ asses.

“If you wanted to have a guy’s night out then why did you invite them?” Reese asked, gesturing towards Trevor and Jason with a handful of peanuts.

“I didn’t,” he said, rolling his eyes in disgust when Zoe giggled as Trevor playfully nipped at her neck.

Pathetic, he thought with disgust, not at all jealous that his cousins were free to touch and kiss the women they loved whenever they wanted while he had to hide his relationship with Marybeth. It was fine with him, absolutely fucking fine, he told himself as he held up his empty beer bottle and gestured to the waitress walking past them to bring him another one.

“Then why are they here?” Reese asked, holding up two fingers, ordering his own beer.

“I have no fucking clue,” he said with a heavy sigh. “They just showed up an hour ago, sat down and started making out.”
