Double Dare (A Neighbor from Hell Book 6) by R.L. Mathewson

known for years,” Haley admitted as she pushed her glasses back up her nose and also stole one of his fries.
                  “How?” he asked, throwing a murderous glare at his brother, wondering if the bastard opened his big mouth and-
                  “I walked in on the two of you kissing in your mother’s kitchen a few years ago,” Zoe announced with a shrug.
                  “Me, too,” Haley said as she took another fry.
                  “Same here,” Jason said around a mouthful of fries.
                  “I walked into the backyard and found you bending Marybeth over the picnic table and-”
                  With a heavy sigh, he said, “I get the point,” cutting his cousin off and making him wonder how long it would be before Marybeth figured out that their little secret wasn’t such a secret anymore and tried to use it to push him away.
                 

Chapter 9
                  Would this night never end? he wondered as he tossed his keys and wallet on the bureau and asked, “What the hell are you doing here?”
                  With a wild look in his eye, Aidan looked up at him before quickly glancing back down at the sleeping woman curled up against him. “Nothing,” he said slowly as he carefully picked up a half-empty bag of Hershey Kisses and moved it away from Marybeth. “What are you doing?” Aidan asked, sneaking a glance down at Marybeth as he grabbed a handful of Kisses and frantically unwrapped them before shoving them in his mouth.
                  “Checking up on her,” he said, conveniently leaving out the fact that he was planning on taking a shower and climbing in bed with Marybeth as soon as Aidan left.
                  “Me too,” Aidan agreed distractedly as he rushed to unwrap another handful of Kisses while he kept glancing down at Marybeth, looking as though he expected her to wake up and go for his balls at any second.
                  “Is that her tampon stash?” he asked, nodding towards the chocolate that his brother was currently devouring.
                  Aidan froze mid-chew. “Maybe?”
                  “Shit,” he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck as he looked at the television and nearly groaned when he saw the Lifetime channel emblem flash at the bottom of the screen.

                  “Get out,” he said, sighing heavily as he rubbed his hands down his face.
                  “But, the movie’s not over yet,” Aidan pointed out around another mouthful of chocolate.
                  “Don’t fucking care. Get out,” he said, grabbing his brother by the ankle and pulled.
                  “You bastard!” Aidan gasped as his back hit the floor.
                  “Next time you’ll listen,” Darrin calmly explained, ignoring his brother’s desperate attempts to escape his hold as he dragged him out into the hallway where he released him.
                  “Lock up on your way out,” he said as he walked back into Marybeth’s bedroom and closed the door behind him, making sure to lock it.             
                  “You abusive bastard!” he heard Aidan cry in outrage as he undid his belt and kicked off his shoes.
                  “That was kind of mean,” Marybeth said with a sleepy smile when she opened her eyes and spotted him, making his chest tighten.
                  God, she was so fucking beautiful…..
                  “He wouldn’t leave,” he explained as he walked over to the bed and sat down next to her.
                  “You could have asked him to leave,” she pointed out teasingly
