Taming the Beast

15- One New Kid Per Person

(Caroline's POV)

I wasn't as sore as the first time, but I was still sore. The guys were waiting in the living room. Aiden was standing by the door shifting uncomfortably. I watched them confused.

"Ready to go," Aiden said quickly. I nodded slowly as I examined everyone's faces. Nick had a smug expression as he looked at his watch.

"Two hours and 35 minutes. Was it just a quickie this time?" Nick asked as everyone burst out laughing except Aiden.

"We could hear your screams from the clearing," Asher laughed. I shot them a glare as my cheeks turned bright red.

"I can't wait for one of you to get a mate so I can tease y'all. You guys are jerks," I muttered. They only laughed harder. My glare turned into a smirk as I slowly made my way to the door. "At least I'm having mind-blowing sex and not just wishing I could," I retorted. They all stopped laughing and glared at me. It was working.

"What's your point?" Nick spat. I smiled sweetly and shrugged.

"Just that I'm having a hard time walking while you guys play videogames all day. That's all I'm saying," I said indifferently as I smiled. Nick was fuming as he stood quickly.

"Hey, I hook up almost every weekend," Nick said, trying to defend his manhood. I smiled and walked over to pat his shoulder.

"Sorry Nick, you're hand doesn't count," I said before walking back to the door. Nick's face turned red as he glared at the ground with his arms crossed. He was mumbling something under his breath. The other guys' eyes went wide as they looked at me with a mixture of shock and amusement. They laughed.

"Holy shit... I like post-sex Caroline. She's funny," Trevor smirked at me. I did a curtsy and laughed.

"Bye guys," I laughed before I pulled Aiden out the door and to the car. His cheeks were red and he was quiet as I drove us to my house. I got out and led Aiden inside. "Danny!" I yelled, closing the door behind Aiden. Aiden looked around before his eyes landed on my brother and widened in shock. Danny was dressed for work in his police uniform. Danny looked at Aiden curiously.

"Care to explain Caroline?" he asked. I smiled and pulled Aiden forward a little.

"Danny, this is Aiden. Aiden, this is my brother Danny. Is it okay if he stays in the guest room for a while?" I asked him. Danny eyed Aiden warily before he looked at me again.

"What happened to Keegan? I thought you guys worked everything out and were going steady again," Danny asked/whined. I laughed and shook my head. I didn't forget about my brother's budding bromance with my boyfriend.

"No, Danny, not like that! Me and Keegan are still together and going strong. Aiden is... Aiden is a friend of ours and his parents kicked him out so he needs a place to stay for a while until we can figure something out," I lied easily. Danny's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"Why did they kick you out?" Danny asked. Aiden sighed quietly as a sad look came over his face.

"I refused to take over the family business. My parents didn't like that so much, so they kicked me out and started training my twin brother for the job," he said easily. Danny made a small 'o' noise before an awkward silence fell over us. Finally, Danny sighed as his hands went to his hips.

"You know, Care, sometimes I think I let you have your way too much," Danny gave in. I smiled and rushed forward to peck his cheek. He grumbled before he gave me a look that meant business. "I'm going to work now. I won't be back by the time you guys leave for school. Preston is asleep already, so try not to wake him. Take him over to Mrs. Piggens' house in the morning before you leave. He shouldn't give you too much trouble," Danny said. I nodded as I soaked in everything he said. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
