Deceitfully Yours by Bethany Bazile Read Free Book Online Page B

What are you doing here?” I ask when I see my little sister.
    “Men are shit,” she announces as she brushes past me and drops her bag on the floor. I follow her into the kitchen and watch as she grabs herself a drink.
    “Thanks for insulting me, then making yourself at home.”
    “Not you. You’re not one of them.”
    “Last time I checked I was a man.”
    “Jude, seriously, you’re my brother so I don’t see you that way.”
    “So what did Daniel do?”
    “I don’t want to talk about it. I just needed to get away for the night . Then he’ll realize how much he needs me.”
    “Mind games. This is the reason why I don’t have time for relationships. So he pisses you off , and let me guess…you pack a bag and don’t tell him where you’re going. So now he’ll be up all night wondering if you’re with someone else.”
    “ Precisely.” She smiles angelically.
    “ You’re getting married in a month. You’re going to need to cut the games and grow up.”
    “You don’t understand. It’s like you said . You don’t do relationships, so you know nothing about—”
    The door to the basement stairs swings open , and Kylie walks into the kitchen in a really tiny robe. Not good. Emma takes overprotective to a new level, and she never likes any woman I bring around her.
    “I’ m sorry. I didn’t know you had company.” She clutches the front of the robe shut and smiles awkwardly.
    “Who are you?” Emma asks.
    “This is Kylie. Kylie, my sister, Emma.”
    “Oh , you’re his sister.” Her demeanor changes once she hears Emma’s my sister. “I’ll just go get dressed.” She hurries back through the door she came from, and Emma is on instant attack.
    “What the fuck, Jude! You can’t keep bringing home every trampy woman you meet.”
    “Stop. You don’t even know her , and you can’t come in my home and judge what I do.”
    “What about Kendra?”
    “Oh God .” I groan. After the earth shattering night I had, I don’t need Emma pissing me off. “What about her? She and I will never happen.”
    “Never? I remember a time when you did happen.”
    “Okay, so I fucked her once. That doesn’t mean there’s a future for us. We’re friends now, and she’s okay with that.”
    “She’s not okay with that. She pretends to be.”
    “Listen, I get it. She’s your best friend, and I should’ve never let anything happen between us, but now we’re really good friends and I’d like to keep it that way.”
    “It’s not fair what you do to her. Sending every woman you fuck to her office to get checked out. How do you think that makes her feel?”
    I throw up my hands. “She suggested it.”
    “Yes, after we found your room of kinks downstairs. She just wanted to be sure you were being safe , even though the thought makes her sick.”
    “Can we stop now? You’re really fucking up a night that started out well.”
    “I’m sure it did. Any night you can find a whore to chain to your wall must be wonderful .”
    “You know something? You don’t have to like my lifestyle , but you need to respect it.”
    “I’m sorry, Jude .” She sighs and walks over to me. “I just want you to be happy, and the string of women you bring down there won’t make you happy.”
    “I don’t bring that many women down there, and I am happy. I’m happy my little sister is spending the night.” I grab her and wrap my arms around her. “Can we forget about our love lives and just be us tonight ?”
    She pouts at me then smiles. “Fine, but I’m just protecting you.”
    “I’m the big brother. I’ll do the protecting.”
    She stuffs her face into my chest and wraps her arm around me.

Kylie

 
    N ow I know why I picked up such a weird vibe from Dr. Kendra Moore. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but Jude and his sister were having a pretty heated conversation when I came back up, so I was just waiting for the right time to walk in.
    Who he’s had sex with in the past is none of my business , but, man, I
