after marriage,” Rick added.
    I felt the anger bubbling up in my stomach. That was so unfair. I’d been with Jason for months and it was a damn sight more serious than any relationship they’d been in. The pain radiating through my arm was already fraying my temper. I found myself unable to bite my tongue. I was sick of the arm flicks, the glares, and being dragged around like a puppy.
    “That’s not fair,” I snapped.
    “Excuse me?” Danny spat.
    “How many times have the two of you been naked with some girl whose name you don’t even know?” I scowled, shrinking back into the corner of the seat but keeping my head held high.
    Danny opened his mouth to reply but closed it again.
    “That’s not the same,” Rick frowned.
    “Why not?” I challenged.
    They both remained ominously silent. I took the opportunity to lecture them a little further seeing as they were already pissed off with me and I doubted I could make it any worse.
    “You two must have slept with half the girls in the city,” I fumed. “But for some reason it’s okay for you guys to ban me from being naked around the man I love?”
    Realising I was holding my injured arm a little too tightly, I relaxed my grip somewhat, wincing as the pain spiked. I waited nervously for the twins to say something, but they still didn’t reply. Rick started the car and began the drive home. Clearly, I’d pissed them off so much that I was in for something horrible when we got home.
    The journey went slowly thanks to the deadly silence, but still not slowly enough. I was not looking forward to getting back and hearing what the twins had to say or do. Clearly whatever it was, they wanted to do it behind closed doors. They pulled up onto the drive and they both hopped out wordlessly. I was reluctant to get out and unbelted myself as slowly as possible.
    Rick opened the door and I recoiled, worried he was going to pull me out with my sore arm, but he waited patiently for me to stumble out of the car. I was still freezing; the car hadn’t really had chance to warm up.
    He surprised me by pulling his ‘Derbyshire Fire & Rescue’ hoodie off and forcing it over my head. It drowned me and was more like a dress than a jumper. I kept my arms inside the main section, not bothering to put them in the arms of the jumper, because I wasn’t keen on the idea of unbending my elbow.
    Rick sighed deeply and kissed the top of my head gently. “Go and ask your brothers for help bringing the shopping in,” he sighed, the sting from his voice diminished somewhat.
    Not wanting to question his sudden shift in behaviour, I scuttled into the house and went into the kitchen. I found Craig and Jason there and asked them for a hand. Jason eyed me suspiciously but followed Craig out to the driveway to help the twins.
    I sat on the stool at the island waiting for them. I knew I’d have to help put the shopping away and I was trying to figure out if I’d be able to do it one-handed. I closed my eyes and uncurled the fingers on my left hand. I could move them, does that mean it’s not broken? The guys came back in and Jason made a beeline for me, putting the bags he was carrying on the island behind me.
    “You okay, baby?” He asked softly, his face wrinkled with concern. He cupped my face with his hand and searched my eyes with his.
    “I hurt my elbow,” I said quietly, still waiting to find out how the twins were going to react to the outburst that I was now seriously regretting.
    “How?” Jason asked.
    I saw a look of anger cross his face briefly before he returned to looking concerned. I knew he was worried the twins had hurt me.
    “I fell over,” I reassured him.
    He held my gaze a second longer before backing off a little and helping to lift the hoodie over my head. He was so cautious, making sure not to brush up against my injured arm and moving so slowly and carefully.
    “Leave it to the pros,” Craig grinned and shoved Jason out of the way once the hoodie was
