Unspoken Vows (The Unspoken Love Series) Page 10


  “I think we need a new lock on the door.” I say sarcastically.

  Jamie laughs and walks out in just his shorts. My eyes bounce around our room and they land on the robe tossed across the chair in the corner.

  “What the hell are you doing in our apartment?”

  “I’m hungry. I need to go food shopping. Figured since you two are the happily married couple, there would be food here.”

  “Dude, you are such a cock-blocker, do you know that?”

  I make my way into the living room.

  Christian quickly covers his ears with his hands. “DUDE!” he yells.

  Jamie and I both stare, looking at my brother like he has lost his mind.

  “I don’t ever want to hear the word COCK come out your mouth with my sister standing next to you in a robe.”

  Jamie laughs. “Your fault for waltzing in our place when we were in the middle of ….”

  “DON’T!” I yell and my hand covers Jamie’s mouth. “If you ever want to do what we were just doing again, you will keep that sexy mouth of yours shut. Do you understand me, Mr. Banks?”

  Jamie nods his head. I remove my hand from his mouth. He leans down and his kiss is punishing and angry. When he pulls away, he mumbles, “How does he think we are going to give him a niece or a nephew, babe?”

  I clear my throat. “Excuse me, we are not practicing having a baby.” I glare at Jamie. “At least not yet.”

  Jamie raises his brows at me.

  Christian scowls at Jamie. “I don’t need to know how my niece or nephew will get here, alright. I told you guys before, I’m okay with you being together, but I don’t NEED or WANT to know what you do behind closed doors.” His eyes bounce between the two of us. “Got me?”

  I walk over and tap my brother on his nose. “I’ll let you in a little secret, brother. We were behind closed doors when you barged in here uninvited.”

  Christian taps me on my nose. “Sister, I don’t need an invitation to come here. It’s an open-door policy. I’ll just have to make a mental note to….” He glares at Jamie. “Call before I come over to make sure,” he points at Jamie, “the two of you are decent.”

  Jamie and I both laugh at that. “Decent, really? What do you think newlyweds do?” I ask.

  “Not fuck twenty-four seven. It’s ten o’clock in the morning.”

  “My husband has skills,” I say and raise a brow at my brother.

  “Mad skills. I just can't get enough,” I say as I turn and tighten my robe around my waist.

  “Don’t stay long. Jamie needs to finish what he started.”

  Jamie laughs. Christian groans and curses under his breath.

  “Make sure you don’t give him a key to the new house,” I say as I walk in to the kitchen.”

  “We’ll just see about that,” Christian responds.
