He set the container down near my elbow. I snagged the dish, pulling it close. His mouth fell open as I popped the top, then picked the piece of meat up before tearing into it with my teeth.
“Let me heat it up.” A furrow formed on Rowen’s brow and he gave me a look like I’d just shit in his kitchen.
“No need.” I chewed and the flavors were still great, even cold.
“It’s no bother,” Rowen said, and his hands flexed where they rested against his hips. He looked ready to snatch the food away from me.
Shaking my head, I held in a laugh.
Rowen stared at the floor for a second, but when he glanced up again, his grayish-blue eyes caught the light over the sink, and my stomach heated because he was giving me such a hot look. I almost felt like I was in trouble, but not quite, and a small thrill zipped through me.
“There’s a wild beast in me kitchen.” He snatched a dish towel from where it was hanging on the oven door handle and stalked toward me.
“What?” I asked around a mouthful of food. “Vail’s about to get a wild beast upstairs. It isn’t in the kitchen!”
Rowen’s bottom lip jutted the teeniest bit, and I had to run over to the sink before I laughed and some of my food sprayed out. I turned on the water to rinse the mess down the garbage disposal while he groaned behind me. Rowen came up at my side and attacked my face with the dish towel. Laughing, I shoved him off.
“What’s wrong?” I asked because he still looked grumpy.
“Not certain how comfortable I am with that toy,” he mumbled, cheeks flushing a light red that had my fingers itching to touch him. His skin showed his blush in a way even Vail’s didn’t, and I wasn’t certain I’d ever seen him looking quite this way.
“Why?” I was floored. Cillian and Aspen wouldn’t have cared about the monster dick, no matter that it was super thick and made of strange colors. Rowen was a completely different person, who I didn’t understand as easily, but I knew one thing—I wanted him to have a good time and be happy. That went double if we were going to have sex with Vail together. I needed to know he was okay, even if I thought the dildo was a hoot and couldn’t wait to stuff it into Vail’s willing—dare I sayeager—ass.
He turned and leaned his back against the sink, wringing the dish towel between his hands. “I can’t explain it, but it’s not.... I want to make certain Vail’s treated well. He’s excitable, and I need to know he’s safe and okay. Two cocks in his arse? Aye, I know that won’t hurt him, but that thing’s so oddly shaped.” He frowned, and his entire face transformed into a thundercloud when I slapped my hand over my mouth to hold in another laugh. His eyes narrowed.
Dropping my hand, I nudged him with my elbow. “Vail talks all the time. Do you really think we won’t know if he isn’t okay?” I grinned at him. “He’s not shy about sex stuff. It isn’t like he’s suddenly going to decide to shut up when he has something on his mind.”
Rowen stared at the ceiling. “Ye don’t get it. I want to treat him, and ye, as if ye mean something to me because... ye do.” He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye.
Heat blazed to life in my belly and a warm excitement squirmed through my chest. “So, we treat him well. For someone like Vail that means kinky toys. I love doing exactly what Vail tells me to do.” My cheeks burned and I stared at my shoes. “You don’t think fucking him with that toy will be okay?”
Rowen huffed. “It doesn’t seem nice, no.”
Screw that.I could imagine exactly how hot Vail would look riding that toy. I’d seen him doing some wild stuff with Aspen and Cillian that Rowen hadn’t, though. “Even if he’s moaning and telling us to fuck him harder and he really, really, really likes it?” I grinned and knocked my shoulder against his.
Rowen’s red eyebrows furrowed, and he used the dish towel to swipe at my mouth before he tossed it into the sink.
“How much could Vail really enjoy something like that?” He stared at me, mouth tight and jaw hard. For once, I didn’t feel like a stupid kid. No, I was on even footing with Rowen.
“We gotta trust Vail to tell us when things are okay. And you don’t have to like everything he does. Vail tells me that. He told me one night that if I don’t like something Aspen or Cillian is doing, I gotta open my mouth and say it, and he’s really serious about that shit. Aspen is, too.” I licked my bottom lip and felt pretty good about myself when Rowen’s nostrils flared as he stared at me. “Maybe the only way Vail wouldn’t be okay is if he realized he asked you to do something you’re not good with.”
Rowen pulled me close in a surprise attack, and I moaned and rested my chest against his.Fuck, I needed this more than food. His semi nudged my abs, and I wriggled closer until the tips of my shoes were on his.
“Ye think Vail will love it?” He studied my eyes until I felt like I was drowning. Damn, it was good to be the center of his attention.
“Yeah, and if he doesn’t, we do something he does love. It’s that easy, right?” I began to feel a little worried for no reason I could nail down, but Rowen nodded and chased the odd sensation away.
“Just seems more Cillian’s thing. Maybe Vail should wait for him.”
Chuckling, I leaned my forehead on his shoulder. “Do you really think Vail’s going to wait however long it takes for them to get back from Miami before he uses that thing? If we don’t do it with him, he’ll do it alone, and I don’t want to miss it.” I hated that I was whining, but I wanted to see Vail fucked with that toy.
Rowen grunted and gave me a squeeze. He wasn’t as big as Cillian and Aspen, but he was more solid than Vail, and I loved the way he was firm under my hands.
“Maybe you could do your thing and have fun with Vail your way. You know, be nice?” I ran my finger along the collar of his shirt.
Rowen glared at me for a moment before a smile curled his lips. It was strange. I’d spent a lot of time with Rowen, or I thought I had, but now that we were getting closer, things like this made me feel warm all over from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.
“Ye think Vail wants a nice monster?” He tilted his chin down and bonked me lightly on the forehead with his.
