“Back to the Zacos as sandwiches…” Axel started.
“No,” Gray groaned. “Someone call the sheriff and have this man hauled off.”
Axel grinned. “Don’t threaten me with a good time.”
The shit talking continued as we all unwrapped and ate the Zacos. I noticed that Shiloh had also ordered the sausage-and-peppers version. Smart man.
“So, Shiloh got a job offer while we were out,” Emory said, nudging him.
“What kind of job?” I asked.
“One uniquely suited to his skills,” Emory said.
I nearly choked on my last bite of Zaco.
“Teaching,” Shiloh said quickly. “I used to be a third-grade teacher back in St. Louis.”
“I didn’t know that,” Axel said. “That’s really cool. So are you going to work at the school?”
“Maybe,” Shiloh said. “It’s just substituting, but if I get my license in Nebraska…”
My eyes locked with his as my heart leapt in my chest. “You’d be able to stay?”
“Maybe,” he said. “If everything worked out. But when does that ever happen?”
“It happened for me,” Gray said.
“And me,” Axel said. “And no one was more surprised, believe me.”
“I don’t know what will happen, but I think I want to try,” Shiloh said. “But, um, substituting doesn’t pay great.”
I nodded, assuming this was his way of letting me know he’d continue to cam. “You need your online work too. I understand.”
“No, I…” He glanced around at my brothers, looking as if he’d like to say more.
Matteo picked up on it and started toward the door. “Come on, Flynn. We’ve got some paperwork to fill out to make your change of job official.”
Flynn nodded. “Sure thing, boss.”
They filed out, leaving just my brothers, Emory, and Shiloh.
“Should we go too?” Bailey asked.
Shiloh looked at me uncertainly.
“It’s up to you,” I told him. “I don’t want to keep secrets from my brothers, but this is your life.”
Shiloh glanced around the room, smiling awkwardly. “Well, in that case, no. I don’t want to keep camming. Not if I don’t have to. That was just a means to an end.”
“Camming?” Gray said as Emory’s eyes widened in shock. “Like…”
Axel grinned. “Holy shit, you’re a porn star? I thought you were just an online boyfriend or something.”
Bailey’s jaw dropped. “Oh my god. I thought you looked familiar.”
Shiloh and I exchanged a horrified look.
“You didn’t ever…” I said.
