Sterling froze, caught completely off guard. "Xavier, you..."
"And I didn't 'play hard.' I never even slept with any of those ex-girlfriends!"
Xavier ignored his younger brother, keeping his piercing gaze fixated solely on Elena as he fiercely defended his pride.
"Sterls, Mr. Hawthorne is scaring me!"
Elena whimpered, taking a step back until she was safely tucked behind Sterling. "Mr. Hawthorne, I swear I didn't hear a thing! And I absolutely do not care whether or not you slept with your exes!"
"Xavier, Elena didn't mean to eavesdrop..."
"Sterling, shut the hell up!"
All Xavier could think about was the fact that this girl had spent the night in his brother's room. He had tossed and turned all night, completely unable to sleep.
Eventually, he had walked over to Sterling's door and stood guard until dawn.
When his brother finally emerged, looking absolutely drained, it was obvious he had been working hard all night!
Xavier knew exactly how intoxicating Elena was; anyone who touched her would find it impossible to hold back.
He hadn't been able to stop himself from trying to use a 'health lecture' as an excuse to indirectly force Sterling to keep his hands off her.
He never expected it to be misconstrued as erectile dysfunction, and worst of all, for Elena to overhear it!
And to look excited about it?
Fuck!
She was his girlfriend. She knew exactly how functional he was!
Or did she actually believe his stamina had suddenly tanked?
No, he had to clear this up right now!
"Elena, stop hiding behind Sterling. What's there to be afraid of? Get out here."
Xavier radiated pure hostility as he watched her cower behind his brother.
Deeply misunderstood and utterly frustrated, he lost his usual composure and reached out to drag her forward.
"Sterls, I'm scared."
Elena's face paled as she gripped the fabric of Sterling's shirt in a desperate hold.
Smack.
