They got dressed and went to the kitchen in the early afternoon. The place was quiet except for T watching a football game. He didn’t look up or say a word when they entered the room.
“Go have a seat and I’ll make us sandwiches.” He gestured toward the living room.
Sadie nodded and walked past T in one of the recliners and sat on the “good” couch. She looked up at the television. The green and yellow team was beating the blue and silver, she thought. She was clueless when it came to sports. Sadie watched as the green and yellow team did something that made the other team point at the white lines. Yes, completely clueless. Sadie looked over into the kitchen to Stone when T’s eyes caught mine. He was staring at her.
“Good morning!” She cheerily said with a quick wave.
“It’s afternoon.” He was grumpy.
“Oh right!” Sadie smiled.
He just stared back at her.
“How’s your day going?” Sadie asked, trying to be friendly.
“Oh it’s going great! I love being cock blocked and then woken up by the sound of people fucking in the next room. It’s fucking great!” he sarcastically responded.
Well, it looked like Sadie was number one on T’s shit list. They continued to watch the game in silence until Stone came over with sandwiches. Sadie remained silent and ate as Stone and T talked about the game. They looked nothing alike but they were truly brothers. They had such an amazing rapport with one another. They were lucky to have each other. Sadie wished she had that.

“I should go.”
This was the second time in the last hour that she said she should go. Stone lounged back on the couch with his feet up on the table. He had one arm wrapped around Sadie’s stomach and the other on the armrest. She was cradled into his side with her feet tucked under her. She fit perfectly with him. Now, if she’d shut up about leaving it would be perfect. Football with the guys and his girl, a perfect Sunday.
“You can’t leave now; you’ll miss the best part. When my team kicks his team’s ass. Fucker’s gonna owe me a hundred.” Bogs laughed as he pointed to Stone from the recliner he was sitting in. T sat in the other one.
“It ain’t over yet, asshole,” Stone barked.
“Wait, you guys bet on these games?”
“Hell yeah, hundred bucks,” Bogs said.
Sadie turned back to Stone, “Oh my God, you’re gonna have to give Bogs a hundred dollars?” Her eyes were shocked, and showed little faith that Stone’s team could pull it off.
Bogs burst out laughing, even T chuckled.
Stone scowled. “The game isn’t over yet, babe.”
“C’mon man, it’s over. There’s no way they’ll recover,” Bogs teased.
Stone’s cell phone began ringing and the room got quiet. He was expecting a call but was kind of hoping to be alone when he got it. With Sadie so close, he had to keep it short.
“Yeah.” Stone kept his voice neutral.
“Job is done. Had a little snag but nothing Dec couldn’t handle. Money’s been wired.”
“And the other?” Stone showed no emotion.
“He won’t be saying anything.”
“Good. Then we’re done?” Stone asked with a sense of relief. This job was done.
“Until next time, my friend.”
“Later,” he said and ended the call.
The line went dead.
The tension in the room eased. T and Bogs knew from hearing only that small bit that the job was done. Sadie sat still against Stone. He knew she must be curious about the call. But he didn’t think she’d ask.
The game continued and no one questioned Stone’s call. But fifteen minutes later Sadie insisted on going home.
“I gotta go home, Stone.” Sadie got up from the couch but he yanked her back down on top of him. He reached behind her head and brought her mouth down to his. His lips moved over hers softly. He felt her small hands on his chest, gripping at his shirt. She pulled back from the kiss and Stone smirked at her dazed look and pouty lips. He loved that look on her.
“I’m just gonna grab my stuff from your room,” she whispered.
Stone smirked and nodded. He watched her get up and walk down the hall.
Stone got up and followed her. He needed to give her one more kiss before she left. A kiss that he had wanted to give her since he first saw her.
Stone stood in the doorway watching Sadie grab her clothes from the floor and bed and stuffed them in her bag. She was so pretty with her brown hair up in one of those messy balls on the top of her head. She didn’t have a trace of makeup on and her clothes were completely casual but she was absolutely beautiful.
Stone closed and locked the door behind him and stalked to Sadie. She turned around and smiled and then widened her eyes.
“What? Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked suspiciously.
Stone grabbed her waist and lifted her to a standing position on the bed. She shrieked and gripped his shoulders.
“Wanna kiss you again.”
“Okay.”
He grasped her jeans button, pulled it open, and unzipped her. Sadie gasped as he yanked her jeans to her ankles.
“I thought you wanted to kiss me?” Confusion was written all over her face.
Stone cocked his eyebrow and grinned. “I do!”
He pulled her ankles from under her and she bounced back on the bed. He tore off the jeans as she giggled. He gripped her panties and slowly slid them down her legs. She stared at him with a small smile playing on her lips. She understood exactly where Stone wanted to kiss her now. He tossed her panties and sank to his knees pulling her down further on the bed.
He bent down placing small kisses on her inner thighs and up around her stomach. Sadie started to squirm as he licked her belly and grazed his teeth over her hip and down to her thigh.
“Stone.”
“Yeah?” he said between kissing her inner
