“But you could still play,” she insists, pulling back a little.“Go solo?”

I stare up at her, at the hope in her eyes, at the sincerity too.“Watching me play really does it for you, huh?”I tease, not quite ready to deal with the idea of playing again in the way Daisy is suggesting right now.

She giggles, a smirk on her face as she says, “Maybe.”

With a grin, I grab her hand.“Know what does it for me?”I ask as I lower her hand to my dick.Daisy shakes her head, even as she feels how hard I am again.With a grin, I close her hand around my cock as I say, “You.”

“Yo, anyone home?”comes Kai’s voice as the front screen door slams behind him.

“Back here,” I call as I walk down the hall from the bathroom to where Kai stands in the living room, a case of beer at his feet.

My brother grins, taking in my freshly showered and shirtless appearance.“I see you’ve been christening your new place?”

Rolling my eyes, I walk over, giving him a quick one-armed hug as I say, “Why does your brain always go to sex?”

Laughing, he picks up the case of beer, following me into the kitchen.“Because, little brother, there’s nowhere else to be.”

I snort out a laugh, opening the fridge and stacking the shelves with the beers he hands me.“Of course not.”

Kai twists the caps off two of them as he says, “Come on, you can’t tell me you and Daze haven’t been making up for lost time since you pulled your head out of your ass and got her back?”He hands me a beer, clinking his bottle against mine as he adds, “Fuck knows, I listened to enough of it.”

I take a swig of beer just as Daisy walks into the kitchen, her wet hair pulled into a bun on top of her head.“Not nearly as much as I’ve had to listen to,” I say, grabbing her a beer.“And now you have the house to yourself.You can fuck whoever and whenever you want.”

“Except for my boss,” Daze says, pointing her beer bottle at Kai, a serious expression on her face.

He bursts out laughing, shaking his head as he says, “No chance, Daze.What me and Lisa have is special.”

She rolls her eyes, letting out a groan as she says, “It’s gross, Kai!She’s my boss, and you’re like...”

“Your future brother-in-law,” he prompts, a huge grin on his face as he shoots a look in my direction.

“You need to find yourself an actual girlfriend,” Daisy says, ignoring his last comment.

“Daze, I can’t be tied down to just one woman,” he says, his arms wide.“Not when there’s so much I have to give.”

“Oh my god,” she mutters as the front door opens and Sage, Nate, Alana and Flynn all walk in, carrying food and drinks and several wrapped gifts.

“Olsen,” Flynn says, carrying something in with Nate before holding up his fist for a bump.“Nice digs you have here.”

I grab him a beer as I say, “Yeah, we gotta get some more furniture, but it’s pretty sweet.”

“Well, we got you something,” Sage now says, a huge smile on her face.“Actually, it’s all Nate, but?—”

“It’s from both of us,” he says, hooking his arm around Sage’s shoulder and pulling her close.

She rolls her eyes as she presses a kiss to his jaw.“Nate made it, obviously,” she now says, pointing to the huge covered present that looks like furniture.“Hope you like it.”

I glance at Daisy, who is smiling at me.“You wanna see what it is?”I ask.

Her grin widens as she claps her hands together and walks over, pulling at the tarp that is covering whatever it is they’ve brought us.

“Oh my god,” she breathes out, stepping back to show me what he’s made us.“Nate, it’s...”

“Fuck, man, it’s awesome,” I say, my eyes fixed on the table.

“There’s more,”Sage says, motioning to the table in front of us.“The chairs are still outside, but we’ll bring them in.”

“There are chairs too?”I question, echoing what Sage just said as I run my hand over the beautifully painted surface of the table.It’s covered in rich blue waves mingling with the old, worn wood for this perfect abstract look.Nate’s talent is unmatched.
