A Question of Necessity
Page 12
Levi held out his hand. “My turn.”
“You don’t drink scotch.” He took another sip.
“I don’t fall for the same woman as my best mate either. Now hand me the god-damned bottle.”
Spencer passed it over after a third helping.
The drink burned all the way down, but not as hot as the jealousy that gnawed at his gut. “I pretty much hate you right now.”
“Yeah? Right back at ya.” Spencer collapsed into the same couch and relieved Levi of the bottle.
A minute later, Levi took it back and glugged down a healthy mouthful. “This tastes like shit.”
“Then get yourself a damn beer and leave my drink alone.”
“Technically, it’s my drink.” He poured a generous sip down his throat. The stuff still burned. “I bought it.” The biggest damn bottle he could find.
“Technically—” Spencer took the scotch and drank, “—you’re an asshole.”
“Technically—” he took it back, “—you fucked my woman.”
“Technically…technically….” Spencer slammed his fist into the arm of the couch. “Technically, Barr-o, she’s a freaking ten out of ten.”
“In bed too?”
“We never got anywhere near a bed. But, yeah. She was a full ten.”
Levi shoved a finger in each ear, almost slamming the bottle into his cheek in the process. “I don’t want to hear.”
“You asked.”
“Can’t hear you.” But he could, because he’d had to take the finger out of one ear to direct the bottle back to his mouth.
Spencer took the scotch back the second he lowered it. “I’ve never had a full ten before. Not even Becca.” The last love of Spencer’s life. He’d given her a nine and a half. An incredibly generous score for the numbers man. The highest Spencer had ever awarded a woman—until tonight.
Levi shoved his fingers back in his ears. “La la la. I can’t hear you.”
“I could fall in love with her.”
