“Come here often?”

My heart dropped at the sound of the male voice coming from behind me. Turning, I looked over my shoulder and sucked in a breath. I jumped quickly to my feet and screamed as I made my way over to my brother Skip.

“Skip!” I cried out as I slammed into his body.

His laughter rolled through my body and made me start sobbing like a child.

Pulling back, I wiped my tears away and looked him up and down. He was dressed in fatigues and looked handsome as hell.

“What are you doing here?”

He brushed the hair from my face and looked into my eyes. “I missed my baby sister. When I found out I had a few days coming to me, I hopped on a plane and flew here as fast as I could.”

“This is so amazing! I can’t wait for you to meet Wyatt. Wait. What about Mom and Dad? And Mitch?”

“Mom and Dad are meeting me in Austin next Monday. I’m having dinner with them and Mitch.”

My mouth dropped open. “So, everyone knows you’re in Texas?”

Tossing his head back and laughing, he pulled me in for another hug. “Now, everyone knows. I wanted to surprise you.”

My arms wrapped around him tighter as I felt my tears let go. “I’m very surprised.”

“Sky?”

Spinning around, I saw Wyatt’s confused expression.

As soon as he saw Skip though, he smiled. “You’ve got to be Skip.”

My brother walked down the bleacher steps some and reached out for Wyatt’s hand. They shook, and then Skip pulled him into a quick hug. He said something to Wyatt I couldn’t hear. He nodded and smiled again at my brother. I made a mental note to later ask Wyatt what Skip had said to him.

“Are y’all free for the rest of the day?”

“Yes!” I said with a clap. Looking at Wyatt, I asked, “You’re free, right?”

“Besides studying for a test, I have no plans.”

Skip rubbed his hands together and said, “Good. We’re going to a barbeque.”

CHAPTER THIRTY

* * *

Wyatt

I COULD SEE why Skylar loved her brother so much. He treated her like a princess. He had asked if we could stop by Skylar’s apartment, so he could change and get into normal clothes.

Soon, we were walking into a dive restaurant that Skylar and I had driven by a number of times.

“I thought this place was shut down,” Skylar whispered to me.

With a chuckle, I replied, “I did, too.”

Once we stepped inside, I couldn’t believe my eyes. “Holy shit. This looks nothing like the outside.”

Skip laughed. “Never judge a book by its cover. Something life-changing could be between the pages. And today, my boy, that is the dry-rubbed ribs. You will be on your knees, thanking me for bringing you here.”

He was right. I swore, we ordered enough food to feed the whole Baylor football team. Skip wanted Skylar and I to try everything. And man, oh man, did we try damn near everything.

“How in the world did you know about this place?” Skylar asked, licking sauce off her fingers.

I had to look away because it was turning me on to see her do it.

“Some girl I met.”

Narrowing her eyes, she said, “That’s vague.”

“Is it?” he asked.

“Yes! I want more information on this girl and how she brought you here.”

Skip laughed. “Okay. On spring break last year, when I was in Panama City, Florida, I met a girl from Baylor. We fucked a few times, I liked her, and she invited me to come to Waco for a few days. I flew here a few times to fuck her again. She took me here to eat at a few places, and this was my favorite. Is that better?”

I was pretty sure my eyes were as wide as Skylar’s.

“Um…are you still…seeing her?” Skylar asked with her cheeks as red as all get-out.

He shook his head. “Nah. Got bored with her.”

“You got bored with her? How? Y’all weren’t even in the same city!” Skylar exclaimed.

“She got clingy. Wanted to know where and who I was with all the time. Fuck that. I’m no one’s ball and chain. Besides, I broke my number one rule with Cassidy.”

“Who is Cassidy?” Skylar asked.

“The girl who brought me here.”

Holding up her hands, she shook her head. “Wait. Cassidy is who you met on spring break, and y’all messed around?”

“We fucked, Skylar. You can say the word. That’s all it was.”

She snarled her lip. “Ugh, fine, whatever.”

“What was your number one rule you broke with her?” I asked.

“I started falling for her.”

Wow. So, I see the commitment issue is a common thing with Skylar’s brothers.

“So, you started to like her, and that spooked you?”

Skip looked at Skylar like she had just grown two heads. “I don’t get spooked, Sky. I like having fun, and I’m not ready to be tied down to one girl.”

Skylar glanced over to me. With a reassuring smile, I gave her a wink.
