He was amused.
“Seriously? You’re laughing right now?”
He pulled his lips in, shrugging slightly. “What do you want me to say?”
“Um…how about the fact that you’re going to have a talk with him!”
“Talk with him about what?”
“I don’t know! Tell him that if he does that too often, it’ll fall off!” I shrieked.
“Babe…boys do that. Just give him his privacy.”
“In a house that small? Are you freaking serious right now?”
“Hey, you wanted the tiny home.”
“Yes, but at the time, we didn’t have a sixteen-year-old boy in our house!”
The look he shot me—man, I would have smacked it right off his face if he wasn’t right. This was my fault. I had brought him home.
“Look, you’re gonna have to get used to the fact that teenage boys are gonna do that stuff.”
I flushed red, thinking of all the bolts and locks I was gonna put on that kid’s room when we had the house. “He’s getting a room on the other side ofthe house when it’s finished.”
“Sure,” he grinned.
“And you’re going to have a talk with him about safe sex.”
“Really?”
I glared at him. “Do you want to be a grandparent to a kid that’s not even ours?”
“Does that even make sense?”
“Does it matter? The point is, if you don’t talk to that kid, he could be out there spreading his wild oats for all the world!”
“It’s sowing,” he corrected.
“Are you seriously correcting me right now?”
“Pretty sure I was,” he grinned.
I jabbed a finger toward the house. “Get in there right now and make sure he’s zipped up before I go in there again.”
Sighing, he headed for the house. “You know, you’ve seen them before.”
“That kid is not related to me! I don’t need to see him jerking off or even the covers shifting when I walk up there!”
He tossed a hand over his head as I glared at his retreating form.
“Trouble in paradise?”
I gasped, jumping nearly five feet in the air as Jeff snuck up behind me. “What are you doing? Don’t you know how to knock?”
He glanced around, then licked his finger and held it up in the air. “We’re outside. The wind is headed east. Southeast. No…east.”
“Is there a point to any of this?”
