“We can buy a sex club with her?”

“A contract is a contract, I suppose.”

“Yea. So then, couldn’t we have some contract created tying us together… like a marriage?”

His eyes widen.

“I’m not saying now, but sometime. In the future. More symbolic. I don’t know. It may be kind of nice.”

“You’re only saying that because you’re knee deep in Lizzy’s wedding plans.”

I shrug. It’s something that’s always weighed on me to some extent. The want and desire to get married and have kids. It was never an option before, but that was before her. Before us. She makes things so easy. “Look, don’t say anything to anyone about this.”

“My lips are fucking sealed. Don’t want her getting her hopes up for something that can’t happen.”

“But it could be nice though,” I dream.

“What would be nice?” Knox bounces down the stairs gleefully.

“Your ass in a thong. So tight and perfect,” Jax chides, not missing a beat.

“Don’t pretend you haven’t seen me wear my leopard print banana hammock thong. I know it’s your favorite,” Knox remarks.

“No, the fuck it’s not.”

“Then why is there a picture on your phone?”

“No, there’s not.”

Knox raises his eyebrows.

“What the fuck did your dumbass do?” Jax yanks his phone out of his pocket and begins flipping through the pictures.

My hands are tingling with anticipation. I can tell by the look on Knox’s face, he put pictures of himself in a thong on Jax’s phone. And the fact he didn’t know and literally walked right into that setup is fucking hysterical.

When Jax finds them, he’s going to lose his shit, so I move around the island, closing the distance to Knox, so I can run interference.

“You son of a-,” Jax seethes. He holds his phone up and flips through twenty or so photos of Knox posing in a thong. A few are of him looking over his shoulder with his fingers pressed to his lips like he’s keeping a secret, more of him laying on the bed with his leg propped up, another of him reading a book at Jax’s desk. “You’re dead!”

Knox tears up the stairs in a fit of laughter, with Jax following.

“I guess I’ll get all the food and take it up,” I mutter to myself.

I’m still chuckling as I walk up the stairs a few minutes later.

EVERLEE – UNDERWATER ORGASMS

Thecookoutwasasuccess, well, aside from the thirty minutes of Jax chasing Knox around the patio with a look of intent to kill fused into his face. Knox couldn’t stop laughing and kept talking about a thong, so one could only imagine what was going on. Tony seemed mildly concerned while Lizzy was cackling hysterically, trying to figure out what exactly had happened. When she found out it was pictures of Knox in a leopard print thong, she suggested he get the photo printed and blown up. She shut up real quick when Jax cast daggers at her.

Fortunately, Emmett came up and informed us it was about time to eat, so Callum started cooking the hamburgers. I was able to get ahold of Jax and pull him into a corner and talk him down. So after that, the rest of dinner went fine. However, we all thought it best to keep at least two people between Jax and Knox. We weren’t trying to terrify poor Tony.

After dinner, Emmett let us all sample the three finalists for his rainbows and unicorns drink for the upcoming costume night. It was interesting being able to see this side of the parties. Historically, I’d always just showed up to them, but this time I was getting a peek behind the curtain.

The cocktail that we all unanimously agreed on was a vanilla vodka martini that tasted like cotton candy that had a piece of the rainbow treat on top. It was simple enough, too. Put a piece of cotton candy in a glass, pour the vodka over top and watch it melt, then top with the fancy rainbow colored cotton candy. Sweet and delicious. I thought Lizzy was going to pass out when she saw him make it.

He saved it for last, which was equal parts smart and funny because Lizzy was working herself up, thinking there was no cotton candy. Emmett is so good with her. He’s patient. Like very patient. All the guys are really, but Emmett more so than the others.

After drink sampling, we played a few rounds of pool and darts in the game room and then Tony and Lizzy called it a night and took off. I helped Emmett wash the dishes and talked with Callum a bit about the dinner. Jax had retired to his room and Knox was still hiding. He was fairly certain Jax didn’t unleash beast mode because we had guests and once they left, so did his protection.
