Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Finding Home

The knock startled us back to reality. Leo’s eyes widened slightly before that familiar smirk returned to his face.

“Hazel? Leo? Everything okay in there?” It was Liam’s voice, tinged with concern.

“Just a minute!” I called out, my voice embarrassingly high-pitched. I scrambled off the sink, wincing at the slight soreness between my legs.

Leo watched with amusement as I frantically pulled on my underwear and shorts. “Relax, sweetheart. They already know what we were doing.”

“That doesn’t make it better!” I hissed, yanking my shirt over my head. My cheeks burned hotter than a summer bonfire.

Leo casually adjusted his clothing, looking irritatingly composed while I probably looked like I’d been caught in a tornado. He ran his fingers through his dark hair once, and somehow it fell perfectly into place.

“Your hair,” he murmured, reaching out to smooth my wild blonde strands. His touch was surprisingly gentle, a stark contrast to his usual sarcasm.

Another knock, more insistent this time. “Guys? Should we be worried?” This time it was Lucas.

Leo rolled his eyes and moved toward the door. “Ready to face the music, sweetheart?”

I nodded, trying to look more dignified than I felt. Leo swung the door open to reveal all three Sullivan brothers standing in the hallway, each wearing a different expression.

Lucas leaned against the wall with arms crossed, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. Liam stood slightly behind him, cheeks flushed pink with embarrassment, looking everywhere but directly at us. And then there was Levi, eyes wide and hands clutching his hair as if he might rip it out.

“Oh my God,” Levi wailed dramatically. “You didn’t! In our bathroom? Our sacred bathroom space?”

Leo stepped out, completely unfazed. “It’s a bathroom, not a temple, Sullivan.”

Levi sputtered, looking genuinely distressed. “We brush
