I blinked. “Err...I was meant to meet Dom here.”
“And he’s not on time, what a surprise,” Mason said with a snort. “Come on, the rest of the family won’t bite...probably. Depends on how many drinks Milo has had.”
“It’s going to be really strange seeing him all grown up,” I said as I got up reluctantly. I might have been away from the family for fifteen years, but some lessons stuck. If I didn’t get up right now and go with him, Mason would let everyone know I was lingering by the bar. Which meant more people would come to find me, and it would be my luck that Matilda would come, and that woman reminded me too much of my mother for me to want to upset her.
“Grown up is a...relative term,” he said with a shake of his head. “But yes, he has an adult body. You, uh?—”
“I swear, Mason, I will be the one breaking kneecaps if you finish that thought.”
“Hey, he was cute enough to make Elijah gay for him, all bets are off as far as I’m concerned.”
“And I heard, you’re madly in love with your sister’s ex, who despised you almost as much as you despised him. So maybe you shouldn’t speak about odd.”
“Alright, alright. There’s no need to be a dick,” Mason grumbled as he led me into the back hallway.
I eyed him. “Now, was it the comment about him being your sister’s ex that irritated you? Or the fact that you two hated each other?”
Mason laughed. “There have been days over the past few years when I wondered if he still hated me. I’d like to think we’ve got past those times... for the most part, anyway. We’ve found...better ways to deal with things.”
I snorted as we walked down the back hallway. “You can say sex and move on. I don’t need details any more than I did when I was younger.”
“Well, yeah, back then you didn’t want to know because you had a giant crush on me and that would have hurt your little feelings.”
“True. And now I don’t want to hear it because I have something far better.”
“I don’t know about that. Dom’s great and all, but let’s not pretend he’s on my level. I mean, you’re what? His first dude? I have a lot more experience than that.”
“You don’t need a lot of experience if you learn quickly. And he’s learned quite a lot in the past few weeks. It’s not often you find someone as hung as him who can use it as well as?—”
“Alright,” Mason said with a laugh, but I caught the wince. “We won’t share details. I don’t want to hear about how good Dom is with his big dick, thanks.”
“Hiswhat?” I heard from behind me and spun around to see a familiar face under a mop of blond hair, gaping at us. “Holy shit, did I just hear that Dom is hung?”
“I could have gone without knowing that myself,” Elijah said from beside Milo, his nose wrinkled.
I glanced at Mason. “How is it that someone who still doesn’t know how to speak at a reasonable volume can move so quietly?”
“It’s a mystery none of us has been able to solve,” Mason said with a shrug.
“Milo, Elijah, it’s nice to see you both again,” I said with a sigh, gesturing to each of them. “Of course, I could have done without scarring your psyches, but here we are anyway.”
“How do you think we feel?” Milo asked, eyes wide.
Elijah snorted. “I’m horrified, but you can’t decide if you’re more horrified or curious.”
“I’m not answering any questions,” I told them.
“Oh sure, you can tell Mason that Dom is hung and good with his dick, but I can’t ask any questions?” Milo asked, clearlydeciding he was more curious than anything else, other than offended that he couldn’t sate his curiosity.
“You told themwhat?” came a bellow from further down the hallway, and I groaned.
“Ooh, hi, Dom,” Milo spun around, mouth opening, but was stopped from saying any more when Elijah’s hand clamped over his mouth and pulled him back.
Dom gave me a disbelieving look. “What the hell are you doing?”
“I was originally testing to see what limits of conversation Mason had.”
“Almost none.”
