“So, you’re home?”
“Of course. Not like I have friends I can go hang out with, and Poki isn’t too fond of me carrying him around.”
“See you in ten then.” I hung up and mentally prepared for more of Dylan’s snippy comments. Again, I deserved all of them.
After literally kneeling for forgiveness, I left Dylan’s place and drove home. I’d focused fully on how Dyl was doing, so I hadn’t asked him about his thoughts on the whole sharing thing. But maybeit would be best if he didn’t know. Not that I could tell him who they were either. Privacy and all of that. And besides, I knew I wanted to have fun with them. I’d found Rino attractive as hell, and Kyle was sexy too. I’d never pictured being with Kyle like that before, we were simply too similar and I had Jackson on my mind so no one could ever compare, but just sex? That sounded like a lot of fun.
Jackson was waiting for me in the kitchen with Benjamin and a whole lotta food. With the club being full even on weekdays, we’d asked Benjamin to work six days a week. We had new things to try for the coming weeks and I hated myself for getting junk food for lunch. It smelled amazing and Benjamin’s eager expression told me I wouldn’t be walking out of the room until my pants no longer fit.
“Hey, baby,” Jackson greeted me with a kiss. “How was Dylan?”
“A bit hurt for being neglected, otherwise he’s doing fine.”
Jackson winced. “Yeah, I’ve kinda kept you all to myself these last couple of months. Sorry.”
“It’s my own fault. He’s my friend and I’m going to try harder from now on to keep him in my life. And get this, he’s chatting with Mike.”
“Really? Mike never told me they were friends.”
I shook my head and took the plate Benjamin offered me with some grilled asparagus wrapped in bacon. “I think it’s a new friendship. According to Dyl, they both needed someone to talk to, and they’ve become close.”
“How close?” He raised one brow and I shook my head at him.
“Not close like that! Besides, Mike is in Africa and they’re both straight.”
“I could’ve sworn Dylan was bi.”
I laughed. “Then you’d know something I don’t. But I think it’s good for them, being friends, I mean.” I moaned when I bit into one of the asparagus, the salty bacon mixed with the softened green asparagus just hit differently than anything else I’d ever tasted. “This is amazing, Benjamin!”
Benjamin beamed at my praise. “Perfect! Then they’ll be added for next week’s meal plan. I’ll go collect the baked potatoes from the grill.”
Then he left me and Jackson to stuff ourselves in private. With Mitch and Nic there too, of course. And since we were all gathered., I said, “I want to play with them.”
Jackson choked on a grilled mushroom while Nic and Mitch cheered behind us.
“I’m so excited I think I’m going to faint!” Nic exclaimed.
“Can we even faint?” Mitch asked, sounding a tad worried.
I ignored them and helped Jackson by getting him some water. “Please,” he choked. “Don’t say stuff like that while I’m eating.”
I grinned. “So, should we tell them?”
“Now?” he looked so confused, but also excited. “They’re not even here.”
“Oh, I forgot. When will they be back?”
“Not until tomorrow. And I think this should be talked about in person, don’t you?” I pouted, but nodded my agreement. I could wait another day.
Just then Benjamin returned with the potatoes and I got ready to be stuffed full. But not in the way I was most eager for.
“Are they here yet?” Nic asked, and I felt like he was just as excited as I was. He just didn’t have to worry about being nervous, too.
“Not yet,” Mitch said from the window.
“Do you think Rino will spank Pete? It’s so hot when he does it to Kyle,” Nic said.
I was blushing, but trying to hide it by staring at my phone. We were waiting for Rino and Kyle in Jackson’s office, and thankfully Jackson was too busy working on his computer to notice my blushing.
