Viper’s brow furrowed.“No.No we’re not.”
“Uh, incorrect.”Lou jerked his thumb toward Jester.“You consider this guy your bro.He’smybro.That makes you and me—”
“Totally unrelated,” Viper finished.
“Wish I could say the same,” grumbled Jester.Long, lean, and bronze-skinned, he appeared to have a permanent scowl.
Lou scoffed at him, a fond smile plucking at his mouth.“No you don’t.You adore and look up to me.Always did.”
Jester’s brows snapped together.“I tried to kill you.Twice.”
“I never took it to heart.”
“You should’ve.”
“You’re not fooling anybody, bro.It’s perfectly obvious that you’ve missed me all these years.Anyonewould miss me.I touch the lives of everyone I meet.”
“And they all wish you hadn’t,” Jester sniped.
Grinning, Lou glanced at Naomi and Ella.“Isn’t he just the bestest?So hateful and grumpy and asocial.And how could he not be, when he had the perfect role model in me?”
“It makes you proud that he’s so rude and mean to you?”asked Razor, a bulky, dark-skinned male who seemed almost as irritable as Jester.
Lou lifted his shoulders.“Why wouldn’t it?”
Razor’s brows lifted, then he just shook his head.
Lilibeth made a fussy noise, drawing everyone’s attention.
Ella hummed.“Seems thatsomeoneis hungry.”She carefully took the little girl from Naomi.
“But not sleepy,” mumbled Ghost.“Never, ever sleepy.”He released a tired sigh.“The bags under my eyes are so big they have pockets.”
Lou gifted him a condescending look.“You’re so dramatic.”
“You’d know all about that,” Luka quipped.
Lou ignored him, just as he’d ignored every other comment Naomi’s mate had made.He hadn’t glanced his way even once.It was agitating her inner entity something fierce, but Luka didn’t seem to mind.If anything, it appeared to amuse him.
“Why are you acting like Luka ain’t here?”Razor asked.
Lou blinked, as if confused.“Who?”
Exhaling heavily, Razor threw up a hand.“Actually, I don’t wanna know.”
Naomi wasn’t surprised that Razor had dropped the topic.Lou was so asocial, he didn’t like anyone, so there was nothing odd or suspicious about his behavior.
She was careful not to look at him as she reached out psychically.You need to stop being an ass to Luka, she telepathed.
Lou’s mind bumped hers.Who?
She fought the urge to roll her eyes.You’re an idiot.
An idiot who you love.
Yeah, she did.I’m still gonna rip out your spine if you don’t start being nice to my mate.
That’s my girl—so pitiless.I raised you well.I’d totally win Father of the Century.
