Lucas had to think about that for a second. “Wait. Did you just imply that shifters fuck in groups?”
“Not all of them,” Bennett said. He had an arm around Lucas’ waist.
Lucas narrowed his eyes at Bennett. “Did you…do that…in a group?”
“Lucas.”
“Oh my God, you did? I can tell by the look on your face. I feel so…repressed. I think I might have to catch up to you now. Come here, Sage.”
“Oh, hell no,” Sage said, turning to leave the room. Lucas started laughing when he practically ran out of the door.
Lucas let out a squeal when Bennett pulled him down, growling at him.
“No one touches you, but me.”
Lucas chuckled at Bennett’s serious face. “Benny, I know. I was just kidding.”
Bennett kissed him. Just a press of the lips. Bennett searched his face. What he was looking for, Lucas didn’t know. Then he said, “You know I love you, right?”
“I do know that. I love you too.” Lucas wrapped his arms around Bennett. “Are you going to make love to me now?”
Bennett grinned and rocked his hard length against Lucas. And then someone knocked on the door again. Bennett sighed and put his forehead against Lucas. “We should probably just get up. The family isn’t going to leave us alone until they know for sure that you’re okay.”
“What do you think is happening on that star?” Lucas pointed to it.
Kristin lay back in the lounger next to the one Bennett and Lucas occupied. She shared the space with Owen, her twin.
Lucas was in front of Bennett, lying between his legs. Bennett wrapped his arms around his waist.
Everyone sat outside on the patio, even Jules. Gabriel and Ramsey were the only ones absent, not having made it back yet.
“I think on that star, a family is sitting around a deck, wondering what’s happening down here.” Lucas reached out a hand to Sage, whosat in a chair beside him. He smiled at Sage and laced their fingers together.
“I think they’re tall green people who come down here and abduct humans to use in their sexual experiments. Only the humans like it,” Kristin said, without batting an eye.
“Wow, I had no idea you had such a pornographic imagination,” Lucas said, his eyes still wide.
“I read a book about it once,” Kristin said with a shrug.
“Really?” Lucas had no idea they made books about that sort of thing. Hmm. He might have to borrow that from her.
“Don’t get her started on her perverted mind, Lucas. She’ll start asking you questions about your sex life if she does,” Owen said.
“I’m just curious. Sue me. Sheesh.”
“Curious about what?”
“By the gods, Lucas. Why did you ask?”
“Men fuck—” Kristin started to say, but Owen covered her mouth with his hand, stopping her.
“Change the subject,” Bennett said from behind him. His chest rumbled against Lucas’ back. That just made him sigh with contentment.
“Why don’t you sing for us Lucas,” Vaughan said, winking at him.
“Um, okay. I guess I could,” Lucas said, looking at Ladon. “Can I borrow your guitar again?”
Ladon nodded and stood.
