That made Elizabeth giggle.
“Gene. Do. As inDO.”
He still looked like he wasn’t sure what they were saying. So, he went there.
“I thought we decided.”
Uh, had they?
There had been a lot of dancing and drinking, so maybe they did. None of them were in the right state of mind to be remembering jack shit.
“Can you refresh our memory?” Chris asked. “The last thing we discussed was Elizabeth being a hussy. That’s all I remember.”
She went to hip bump him, missed, and Callen barely caught her before she hit the floor.
Immediately, Gene got serious.
“We all got married to each other, no? I think I was pretty clear when I put that bangle on the head hussy’s wrist that I wanted all in. That I didn’t want to be an outsider in my marriage. I was clear, wasn’t I?”
Ethan glanced over at Callen and his other husband, helping his new husband out.
“That’s exactly what he said. You guys didn’t say anything back, so I think this ball is in your court. What do you want?”
Oh.
That meant…
Yeah, they’d missed that.
“So you want everyone in?” Callen asked. “LikeIN-IN? Naked in?”
Gene paused.
“I mean, if being in bed with me is a problem,” he began, but Elizabeth shut that shit down.
IMMEDIATELY.
There was no way they were fucking this up on a wedding night when it was simple to handle. Men tended to overthink—well, these men.
“No. We’re not doing this. We’ve all joined in this relationship, and we’re all going to be equal in it. That’s the point, no?”
Chris stopped her.
“I don’t think Callen was saying he wasn’t in. Gene just isn’t attracted to us. I think he meant more in that regard. We’ve all been naked in bed plenty of times. He just made it sound like touching him was not off limits, and he didn’t want all of us all over him—just EJ. He was the monogamous one in the group. We whores aren’t.”
Gene actually laughed.
That was damn funny.
But, he clarified.
“If I wasn’t attracted to anyone in this group but Ethan, my dick wouldn’t stay upright when you guys are near it. I think we’re all attracted to each other, or we wouldn’t be in bed at the same time. I wasn’t having contact with you guys because I was worried it would upset Ethan. I’ve had the kitten crawling all over me before, and trust me, my erection was just fine.”
She shrugged.
“I mean, it was okay,” she joked, earning a slap on the ass that almost knocked her over. Gene put some energy into that one, or she was just tipsy.
She wasn’t sure which.
