The Bid

Chapter Seven*

~Ash~

Three weeks have passed since I came here to stay with the twins. I can't say it's been easy being stuck inside here all the time but the one plus side is I've got to know them better.

Finn is really funny and the more playful of the two, he's also way too tech savvy which means he's definitely their designated hacker from what I can tell. Not to mention he's a massive flirt and doesn't hold back much.

Last night he completely unlocked and did something to my phone to where I now can have any app, any service, literally whatever I want and it's all free.

Cheeky bastard, he's too smart for his own good.

Myles on the other hand has been more distant and straight laced. He's mostly always busy on his laptop or gone off to do work at what I can only assume is one of their company buildings because he wears a suit which makes me believe he's their financial handler.

I try so hard not to stare because despite my best efforts to not notice, he is way too damn good looking in a suit. They both are actually.

The other day when they had to leave me here with the head of security, who I now know as Charles, they were both dressed in sleek tailored black suits and I could feel the coil inside me tightening.

The other two brothers are still nowhere around and maybe I prefer it that way because it's less to deal with. I already don't enjoy being around people much so dealing with just the twins is fine with me.

Thankfully my bruises have also healed quite a lot and for that I am thankful. They are just barely visible at a distance and really only an issue if you look close up.

"Ash, I have a plan for today." I hear Finn talking from the kitchen as I come down the stairs. Somehow he always knows it's me, must have super hearing or something.

"Yeah and what might that be?" I hear Myles interrupt before I can even respond.

"Well I think she's been stuck here for long enough so maybe we can go—"

"No." Myles snaps and I can see the stern look in his eyes as I walk into the room.

I grab a bagel off the tray that's set on the kitchen island and take a seat on one of the stools.

"Actually I was kinda hoping to be able to pick up a few things I'm running low on." I butt in, not caring about the glare that Myles tosses my way.

"See?" Finn beams. "She needs shit so we can go get that shit. It's simple."

Myles let's out a groan and snaps his laptop shut before disappearing down the hallway. I look at Finn, waiting for an explanation.

"That means yes." He smirks. "Now go get dressed."

I hop off the stool and go back to my room while chewing on the bagel. Sighing at my limited wardrobe, I slip into a simple short sundress and pull my hair up into a ponytail.

In the mirror I freshen up my face with what little cosmetics I have and shrug because this is as good as it's going to get.

Once back downstairs I wait in the living room until the other two join me. Finn is wearing a more casual fit with a black T-shirt and black jeans while Myles is a bit more styled with a dark green jumper and black pants.

They both look way too hot for their own good so I just stare at the floor to try and distract myself while squeezing my thighs together.

"Ready?" Finn asks.

I nod and get up, following them out to the garage that I have never actually been into since it's keypad locked and a floor below us.

The sheer size is impressive but the amount of vehicles stored here is even more of a mind fuck. There's way too many vehicles to choose from and none of them cheap.
