I wake up next to Dara and pull her more tightly against my body. I’m not sure how my brothers and I got so lucky. When our parents told us we were to be Dara’s protectors, we were so young and na?ve. We’d complained about the responsibility, but as we grew older, we knew it was a privilege, an honour. Since then, we’ve done everything in our power to keep Dara safe—to guide her to fulfil her destiny. Falling for her is just the icing on the cake. Her sass annoyed the fuck out of me at the start, but after spending more time with her, I fell hard. I enjoy our bickering, enjoy each of us fighting for dominance.

I look to the door when I feel Jolie approaching.

Not bothering to knock, she barges in and barks, “We meet downstairs in two hours,” before stalking out.

Perfect. We have some time to have a little fun.

Dara’s eyes snap open.

“Good morning, sleepyhead. Did you hear Jolie?”

She groans. “Loud and clear.”

In one swift movement, I pull her on top of me. She giggles, throwing her head back.

“Want to have some fun before our big day?”

She smirks before rolling off me and gathering her clothes. Sitting up, I stare blankly at her.

Disappearing into the bathroom, she calls, “I have something different in mind. Put on your running gear.”

Grunting, I get out of bed and head to my room to get dressed. A run? Not what I had in mind, but at least I get to spend the morning with her.

Once dressed, I walk out of my room to find Dara dressed in short shorts that show off her sexy legs and a tight black top that hugs her breasts oh so well … I feel myself growing hard just staring at her.

Shaking my head, I make my way over to her. She smirks, knowing all too well the things she does to me. I follow her down the stairs. We find the house quiet except for Jolie, who’s making coffee in the kitchen.

“Where are you guys going?” she asks as we reach the entrance hall.

“Just for a run,” Dara says, opening the door. “I promise we’ll be back before we have to go.”

I follow Dara out. Jolie yells, “You’d better fucking be.”

Laughing at my sister, I run to catch up to Dara.
