“No prob, baby.” He walks over and places a soft kiss on her lips. “Wow, this is a lot.”

“I know, gotta catch up.” Harper leans in for another kiss before Ethan goes to the fridge.

As I’m grabbing the next box, my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out and see a preview of Knox’s text. Heat immediately rushes over my body.

Knox: I can still taste you on my lips. How’s your jaw feeling today?

I narrow my eyes at the screen, wishing I could punch him through it.

Hadleigh: Go to hell, jackass. Oh never mind, you’re already the mayor.

He continues to message me, and I respond to every one of his jabs. Knox thinks he’s so damn clever and irresistible, but I see right through his cocky attitude. After I send him my final text, I lock my phone and set it on the table, then notice Harper staring at me.

“It was Knox, wasn’t it?”

My shoulders slump. “Was it that obvious?”

“Yep,” she says without missing a beat. “Painfully obvious. Like you were in love and ready to murder him simultaneously.”

I snort. Sounds about right. “He confuses the hell out of me,” I admit. “It’s like I have no control when I’m around him, even through texts. As soon as I see him or he messages me, my heart races, and I get all stupid. It’s a sickness.”

She laughs. “Yeah, a lovesickness. Not sure there’s a cure for that either.”

Ethan’s in the kitchen, and I know he can hear everything, but I’m sure Harper’s already told him anyway.

“So have you figured out what you want yet?” Harper meets me with a soft expression.

“No idea. Kane and I hung out last night, then I ran into Knox at the training facility on my way home. Things got…heated.”

She raises a brow. “Ran into him, huh?”

I roll my eyes. “We were talking, and it escalated to more. Then, in true Knox fashion, as soon as it felt too real, he started a fight. I ended up storming off, but he chased after me and told me to pick his brother. Said Kane was better for me, then left.”

Harper shakes her head. “Grown-ass men having tantrums, I swear. There’s something in the water here.”

“Hey,” Ethan groans, and we both laugh.

“He wanted me to go home with him, and I didn’t feel right about it. At least not until I know what I want or, rather, who. I don’t want to lead either of them on. Though, Abbie told me I should test drive them first.” I can barely get the words out before I burst into laughter.

“Wait. You guys haven’t? I thought…” she lingers.

“No. I mean, almost, but no.”
