Aideen (Slater Brothers) (9 page)

I was bored too.

I would usually spend the evening time correcting my students’ homework, but since I was on maternity leave I had nothing to do in regards to work, and I missed it.

I missed my students.

I was entitled to twenty-six weeks of paid maternity leave with an additional sixteen weeks of unpaid maternity leave if I needed more time at home.

Typically, women would take two weeks off before the impending birth of their child, but as it was so flexible in my job, I tapped into eight of the sixteen unpaid weeks I had and used them after I was attacked, which the school was more than happy to accommodate.

I sighed as I pushed away thoughts of how much I missed working, and focused on the phone call to my brother.

“James and Harley are on a
blind
double date, and Dante is here with me playing Fifa.”

That fucking game. Kane and his brothers were playing the same game constantly.

“Tell Dante hey.”

“Tell him yourself, puttin’ you on speaker now.”

I smiled. “Dante, why are you playin’ video games with Gavin on a Friday night instead of being out?”

Dante’s snort was loud. “Hello to you too, dear sister.”

I grinned.

“To answer your question, it’s only half ten, I don’t go anywhere until twelve. No one goes to clubs when they just open.”

I rolled my eyes. “I can’t remember the last time I went clubbin’ so spare me the details.”

My brothers laughed.

“Are you still pregnant?” Gavin asked me.

I smiled. “No, I had the kid and decided not to tell you both.”

Dante snickered. “You walked right into that one.”

“Whatever. When do you think you will have the baby? You’ve been pregnant forever.”

Tell me about it.

“I’ve two weeks until me due date, it might be a while yet.”

They both sighed and it made me smile.

“I miss you both.”

Dante snorted. “You saw me two days ago.”

“Two days is a
long
time,” I countered.

“I’ll swing by tomorrow, that cool?”

I nodded even though he couldn’t see me.

I opened my mouth to speak when I heard Gavin growl, “Fuckin’ Nico.”

“What?” I questioned as cheers erupted from my sitting room.

“The prick just scored against me.”

I blinked. “Are you playing Kane and his brothers?”

“Yeah, we’re takin’ turns,” Dante replied.

Boys and their bloody toys.

“Okay, I’ll leave you both be.” I frowned. “See you tomorrow.”

“Bye,” Gavin’s voice sounded before the phone clicked off.

Goodbye to you, too, little brother.

I shook my head, tossed my phone onto my nightstand and stood up. I was bored, and even though I didn’t want to watch the lads play their football game, it beat lying in bed doing nothing.

The girls, bar Branna who was working, went out for dinner and because it was a restaurant that served sushi, I couldn’t go. Sushi was off limits to me. It made me sick before I was pregnant. Even the smell of it could set me off, but it was a definite no-go now that I was having a baby.

I exited my room and paused at the front door as a key entered the lock and the handle jiggled. I stepped back with a racing heart until I saw who the person was and calmed down.

“Keela,” I breathed. “You scared me.”

She looked just as surprised to see me standing right behind the door, but quickly exhaled and moved closer to me.

“How was dinner—”

“I need your help.”

I widened my eyes. “With what?”

“The girls,” Keela murmured.

I gasped. “What about the girls?”

“Shhh!”

I winced and looked to the sitting room door as it opened and Nico and Kane practically fell out of it. Kane placed his hand on his chest when he saw me.

“Fuck. I thought something was wrong.”

I looked to Keela who was glaring at me.

“My bad.”

Nico straightened. “Keela, where are Bronagh and Alannah?”

She scratched her neck. “In the elevator.”

I poked her arm.

“What’s wrong?”

She groaned. “It’s not me fault, I didn’t know what they were drinkin’—”

“Keela?” Alec’s voice said sternly from behind his brothers. “What happened?”

I blinked at Alec, having never heard him sound so serious before.

“Brongah and Alannah, they’re kind of... drunk.”

Nico stumbled. “Bronagh is
pregnant
!”

“Yeah,” Keela said and scratched her neck again. “We were at dinner and her and Alannah drank these weird drinks. The menu said they were alcohol free … but they weren’t. The waiter got the order mixed up. She didn’t drink loads, just a few glasses.”

Nico raised an eyebrow. “Where the hell is she? I can deal with her—”

“Promise you won’t get mad?”

“Keela,” Nico said, his tone dangerously low. “Where is Bronagh?”

Keela caved under his gaze. “I told you she is in the elevator … but she is sittin’ in it in just her bra and knickers, ridin’ it up and down with Alannah… who is also drunk, and semi-naked.”

Damien was suddenly pushing his way through his brothers so fast it made Kane laugh.

“Semi-naked, drunk Alannah?” he said. “Damien Slater is on the case.”

All the brothers laughed, but the twins ignored them and ran out of the apartment. I followed them just because I wanted to see the next few minutes unfold. I walked up behind Damien and Nico and folded my arms across my chest when Nico hit the elevator button.

“It’s on the second floor and rising,” Damien murmured.

We all watched the dial for the floors, and watched the number climb higher and higher until the elevator pinged and the double doors opened. I covered my hands with my mouth when I saw what I saw.

“Nope,” Bronagh slurred. “Your ti-tits are
definitely
bigger than mine.”

“Really?” Alannah murmured and cupped her boobs in her hands. “I don’t think th-they are.”

What in the world?

“Oh, my God.” I laughed.

Nico cursed when he took her in. “Damn it, Bronagh!”

Bronagh and Alannah turned their heads and burst into giggles when they saw the three of us staring at them.

“We’re caught,” Alannah shouted and put her hands in the air. “Elevator lesbian sex is no more!”

Damien balled his hand into a fist, brought it to his mouth and bit down on it. I didn’t know whether he wanted to laugh at her or if he was stopping himself from taking her right then and there.

His gaze was solely locked on her.

“Damien!” Alannah squealed with excitement when her eyes landed on him and she pushed herself to her feet.

I watched her with wide eyes because she only had a black pair of underwear on.

That was it.

“Yes, Alannah?” he asked and made a point of keeping eye contact with her.

She cupped her bare breasts with both hands. “Do my boobs look bigger than the la-last time you saw them?”

Nico stepped in the way of the elevator doors when they tried to close. He hit the emergency stop button and stared down at his girlfriend.

“I can’t believe this shit,” he grunted and put his right hand up like a fan on the side of his face to form a divide so he couldn’t see Alannah’s body.

“Damien,” Alannah pressed, “do they or don’t th-they?”

I looked at Damien and the poor bastard was staring at Alannah’s chest like it was his next meal. I elbowed him and he looked at me before clearing his throat and looking to Alannah’s face.

“Um, why don’t we get you dressed? Does that sound good?”

Alannah lazily smirked. “Will
you
be the one to dress me?”

“You. Me. Crazy elevator sex. Right no-now.”

I looked to Bronagh when she spoke and laughed when she grabbed hold of Dominic’s shoulders and pulled him down on top of her body.

“Bronagh!” he shouted with surprise. “I could hurt you. Would you let me get you dressed and we—”

“You told me you loved me naked th-though.”

Nico grunted. “I do, but—”

“Then let me be naked, I like being free,” she said, and shimmied causing her breasts, and other places, to jiggle.

I cackled and took out my phone, and began recording. There was no way in hell I was
not
capturing this.

“Bronagh, for the love of God,
stop
doing that,” Nico begged as he adjusted the front of his trousers.

“Shimmy with me!” she giggled, making me laugh harder.

Nico pressed his face onto the crown of her head as his shoulders shook and he laughed. I switched the phone to Damien and saw he, too, was laughing as Alannah tried to twerk.

I say tried because she failed, she
miserably
failed. I criss-crossed my legs and howled with laughter. It got the interest of the occupants inside my apartment.

“What are they doin’?” Keela’s voice called out from behind me.

I glanced over my shoulder, and with my free hand I waved because I couldn’t speak. I could barely breathe from laughing.

“Alannah!” Keela gasped when she came to my side and saw what she was doing.

Damien lifted her shirt from the floor and held it in front of her when his brothers came up behind us. He narrowed his eyes at them and Ryder laughed.

“You being protective, little brother?”

Damien kept his eyes narrowed. “They aren’t decent. You, Alec and Kane go back inside the apartment.”

“No!” Alannah shouted in protest. “Let’s have an or-orgy. Right here in the elevator. All of us.”

I shoved my phone at Keela to continue recording for me so I could bend forward and ease the sudden pain in my side. Hands gripped onto my hips.

“Aideen?” Kane murmured, his voice filled with concern.

I shook my head. “I just have... a stitch,” I said, laughing. “They’re so funny.”

“I don’t think I’ve seen so much of Alannah’s skin before,” Alec murmured, “and I’ve definitely never heard her talk about sex before. She must be really drunk to want an orgy with all of us.”

Kane laughed at his brother, but nodded in agreement.

I looked to Nico when he got Bronagh to her feet and managed to get her t-shirt back over her head. He was in the middle of putting her arms through the holes and tugging it down to her hips.

“Nearly done, pretty girl.”

Bronagh turned her nose up. “Don’t call me Bronagh or pretty girl anymore.”

Nico smiled down at her. “What will I call you if not Bronagh or my pretty girl?”

She looked him dead in the eyes and said, “From th-this moment onwards I shall be known as MC Hammered.”

I burst into a fit of laughter and stumbled back into Kane’s vibrating chest. He folded his arms around me and rested his hands on top of my bump, and his chin on top of my head.

“Okay, MC Hammered, you wanna put your hands on my shoulders so I can put your pants back on you?”

Bronagh stared at Nico for a long moment then said, “I want to get ma-married.”

Oh, shit.

All traces of laughter evaporated and heavy silence lingered.

“You want to get married?” Nico repeated as if he misheard her.

Bronagh nodded her head. “We’re to-together forever, we live together ag-ages and we’re havin’ a baby. I love you with all of my heart. The wh-whole lot of it. I want to get married, so will you marry me?”

Nico was still then said, “Yeah, babe, I’ll marry you.”

I beamed and clapped my hands together with excitement.

“Yes!” Bronagh said and high-fived herself. “I lo-love you.”

I giggled. “She won’t remember this tomorrow.”

Kane kissed the crown of my head. “No, but we will.”

“I love you too, MC Hammered,” Nico said making us laugh, and Bronagh beam.

We watched them embrace for a moment until Alannah cleared her throat.

“Does no one wa-want to have sex with me?” she asked, sounding tired. “I promise I’m good at it.”

All eyes fell on Damien.

He glared at us. “Thanks very much, guys!”

I grinned. “We got you.”

He hissed at me then looked to Alannah who had sunk down to the floor of the elevator. Damien knelt before her and picked up her discarded leggings and put her feet through the leg holes. He lifted her hands and placed them over her breasts then slowly pulled the leggings up to her knees then gripped her elbows. He pulled her to her feet, as he remained on his knees before her.

Alannah tilted her head to the side and frowned down at him. “You took th-them off me before and now you’re puttin’ them back on … ha-have we come full circle?”

Damien stilled then pressed his forehead against her bare thighs before gripping the hem of her leggings and shimmying them up until they fit snug around her hips. He picked up her bra and t-shirt and blocked her from our view with his body.

I saw Alannah drop her arms from covering her chest and Damien looked up to the ceiling before returning his gaze to her. He put her bra on, then got her shirt on her and buttoned it up.

When he was done, he was going to step away from her—I saw him prepare to take the step backward, but Alannah suddenly stepped forward and fell against his chest. Damien caught her and looked down to her face, before sighing.

“How the hell can she go from asking people for sex, to falling asleep on me standing up?”

Keela pocketed my phone and said, “They drank some weird shit. Fruity cocktails. There wasn’t much alcohol in them when I asked the staff because I was wonderin’ what had them so giddy. There was hardly any alcohol at all, I was assured... they’re just lightweights.”

Bronagh suddenly laughed. “I’m not a lightweight, as-ask Dominic. I can dr-drink
loads
.”

Nico was walking out of the elevator and when Bronagh spoke he looked at us and shook his head before smiling at Bronagh. “Of course you can, babe.”

I snorted.

He was so whipped.

We followed the lads back into my apartment then Kane pulled out the sofa bed. We laughed when both girls instantly starting snoring after the twins set them down on it.

“Leave them here tonight,” I said to the twins. “I’ll look after them.”

Nico hesitated, but nodded his head.

Damien scratched his neck. “Should we call someone about Alannah though?”
