“What’s so funny?” I asked him softly, feeling even more annoyed at him. I hated that I didn’t understand him and I couldn’t read him. I hated that I loved that about him. I hated that I wanted to get to know him better. I hated that I would never have the chance to be more with him.

“You.” He took a deep breath and finally stopped laughing. “You’re a breath of fresh air.” He smiled at me. “Yes, you’re also a pain in the neck, but you’re also a breath of fresh air.”

“Okay, thanks, I guess.”

“I want to make love to you again.” He groaned, his expression turning to one of lust as he took a step towards me.

“No, we can’t.” I bit down on my lower lip.

“Oh, but we can do whatever we want.” He grinned and turned around and locked the door before coming back to me.

“What are you doing?” I said in shock as he pulled his briefs down and stood in front of me naked; his cock already standing at attention.

“I’m showing you that I’m not an F in bed.” He grinned and took another step towards me. “I like a good challenge.”

“Xander.” I groaned as he pulled me towards him. My body was trembling in anticipation and I felt guilty and confused. “We can’t—” He cut me off by picking me up and throwing me onto the bed. His fingers pulled my shorts and panties off and he fell on top of me and kissed my neck. “Xander.” I moaned and wriggled against him. “We can’t do this.”

“We can.” His fingers slipped down my legs and rubbed me gently. I closed my eyes for two seconds and enjoyed the feelings of excitement as they swept through my body and then I pushed him to the side and rolled off of the bed. “What are you doing?” He blinked up at me in surprise as I picked my panties up off of the floor.

“I’m leaving.” I rubbed my lips to get rid of his taste. “You can’t just have me whenever you feel like it.”

“Why not?” He frowned and I was about to protest when he laughed. “I’m not being serious.” He sighed and sat up. I looked down and saw that his manhood was hard and sticking up. He looked down to see what I was staring at and he grinned at me. “Yeah, that’s what you’re leaving me with.”

“Ask Gabby to help you out.” I spat out, annoyed.

“This is always going to be an issue between us, isn’t it?”

“What do you think?” I looked at him incredulously. For a smart man, Xander could be a real dummy sometimes. I watched as Xander jumped off of the bed, bent down, picked his briefs up and pulled them on. He then looked at me with a lazy smile and shrugged.

“So your parents seem nice and I think they like me." He said casually as if that were the most normal thing to say next in this situation.

"They are nice." I stopped myself from saying they wouldn't be so nice to him if they knew what kind of guy he really was.

"I think I'll quite like having them as parents."

"That's good."

"They'll make good grandparents."

"Yup." I looked away from him then as I wanted to slap the smug look off of his face. What was his problem? How could he try and sleep with me and then talk about my parents.

"You don't have anything else to say?" His eyes narrowed as he studied me.

"What else do you want me to say?" I looked back up into his face then.

"I don't know, something telling me I'm making a mistake." He shrugged nonchalantly.

"It's your mistake to make." I wasn’t going down this road again. I wasn’t going to make him think I wanted him.

"Ah ha, so you do think I'm making a mistake?"

"I don't care what you do." I lied and turned away. "I'm going to go back to my room now."

"But Alice is in there with Scott and Aiden."

"So?" I looked at him with a question.

"You don't want to cock block."

"Excuse me."

"Alice has a crush, doesn't she?"

“How did you know that?”

“It was obvious from the way she was beaming from ear to ear.” He shrugged. “I didn’t presume to think it was because of me.”

“Not that that would be a problem for you right? You’d love three of the women in this house wanting you.”

“So, are you saying two women in this house currently want me?” He smiled and raised an eyebrow at me.

“No.” I said hurriedly. “Now tell me, who do you think likes Alice back in return?”

“Who?” He laughed. “I think Alice has herself a little problem.”

“Oh?” I frowned and rubbed my forehead. “So you don’t think Scott or Aiden likes her then?”

“Oh, quite the opposite.” Xander rubbed his palms over his stomach as he stood there. “I think they both like her.”

“What?” I frowned and looked into his eyes to see if he was being serious.

“I think both of your brothers have an interest in Alice.” He nodded seriously. “Hopefully, they both don’t make a play for her. She has an interest in one of them, doesn’t she?”

“Yes.” I nodded and bit my lower lip. How did he know that my brothers liked Alice and what did that mean? How would Scott feel if Alice and Aiden started dating because Alice liked Aiden and that was obviously who she would choose, wasn’t it?
