Looks to me like you’ve been in touch with Narcotics Anonymous in the UK.
Yup. Called it. Wait—in the UK? N.A.
Uh.
I sat up straighter and scratched my nose. “N.A could also stand for Nathan and Ash in the UK.”
Ash looked at me like he sometimes looked at the math problems in Dylan’s homework.
I raised my brows. “The Marine we hooked up with in London? You exchanged numbers.”
He snapped his fingers, realization dawning on him, and he went back to typing. “We fucking did.”
Then he showed it to me.
Possibly a long shot, but did you hook up with a couple whose names start with N and A in the UK?
What was his name—Kane, something. Kris? No—Kyle. Kyle.
As hot as that evening had been, Kyle mustn’t have made the cut last time Ash bought a new phone.
“He texted.” Ash showed me Kyle’s response and chuckled.
The kinky Americans. Fond fucking memories. How the hell are ya? Still together? You’re not in New York by any chance?
I snorted and lay back down on his shoulder.
Ash opted to speak out loud what he wrote back.
“Fine as hell. Definitely together. But no, we’re not in New York. We settled down with two kids outside DC. How many ‘Who dis’ texts have you sent tonight?”
I chuckled drowsily.
Another yawn slipped out, and I closed my eyes.
Ash kissed the side of my head and rubbed a hand down my arm.
It was going to be impossible not to fall asleep in his arms…in the next ten or so minutes. Maybe five. Maybe two.
“I’ll wake you up in a bit, baby.”
Perfect.
“He replied, by the way,” he chuckled. “Eighteen fucking times, he’s asked people who they are. He swears he’s just cleaning out his phone.”
I hummed. “Sounds like he’s terrible at naming people in his contact list.”
“Or he gets around that much.”
That too.
“Didn’t he mention in London he had a kinky brother?”
Fuck, who could remember? “Maybe. I don’t know. Why?”
“He mentioned him again. Said maybe we’d crossed paths since we run in the same circles—he lives in the area. I’ve heard of Mclean House.”
I cracked one eye open and peered up at him. “Kyle’s brother is a member there?”
