Jules, although she is opening up much more, talks a big game. I’m not sure if she’s trying to please me or trick herself, but she’s still my innocent girl who is finding her sexuality more each time we’re together.
Nate says something quietly to Leo, and I hear my name in passing.
“What?” I ask.
They pause and look up. “I haven’t seen you smile like that in a long time, and come to think of it, you’re not as grumpy as normal,” Nate says. “She’s good for you.”
Before I can answer, the back door opens, and Seb stands there looking ridiculous. He has a shirt and suit jacket on, with his board shorts on the bottom.
Leo lifts his hand to block the sun, staring at Seb. “Fuck, you’re a big motherfucker.”
Seb smirks, and I can’t hold in my laughter. Leo lacks a filter more than half the time, but he’s not wrong.
Seb is the tallest and most muscular one out of all of us, and in the shadow of the sun, he’s a fucking giant.
“Anyone need another beer?” Seb asks as he walks over to the bar, taking off his suit top.
“Me,” Nate calls.
Seb clearly was on a video call, so they didn’t see his bottom half, which reminds me of a story. “Did I ever tell you guys about the time one of the board members started getting naked on a call?”
“No.” Leo chuckles.
“Mark, who has to be reaching eighty-five easily, never knows how to set up his video calls properly. One day, the whole board was on, and he was dressed similarly to Seb. Then he gets up to grab a file, and he’s fucking commando.”
“Buck naked?” Nate asks, laughing.
“Wrinkly balls and all.” We all burst out in laughter, and I shiver in disgust. “I don’t know why I brought that up. I’m getting flashbacks now.”
“Worst fucking nightmare,” Leo mutters.
“How many times are you naked on your calls?”
“Never, but I want to be. You have no idea how many times I think about jerking off while on a call with Jasmine. She is so fucking hot I don’t even listen to her half the time she’s talking. I stare at her lips moving, imagining them around my dick.”
“You’re a dirty bastard.” Seb laughs.
“Who’s Jasmine?” I ask.
“Our Miami liaison,” Nate answers. “And she’s a fucking smoke show.”
Seb hands Leo his beer. “I can top Harrison’s story,” Seb chimes in. “One of our vendors thought because everyone had their camera off, and he couldn’t see them, that his was off, too. So he set his laptop up on the bathroom counter and then began to get undressed in front of us. He was on mute, so he didn’t hear us screaming his name to stop. Then he stepped into the showerand stood there full frontal with his hard-on hanging between his legs.”
“Bullshit.” I laugh.
“Swear it. He was definitely about to jerk it until finally, someone called him. Luckily, his volume was turned up.”
“Hi!”
Seb’s eyes widen, and he looks at me in horror. We really need to be better about censoring ourselves. Claud loves to pop out of nowhere. “Hi, princess.” He picks her up and snuggles her. “You want me to start grilling soon?”
“Mmmhmm,” she says around a mouthful of banana bread. She’s a bottomless pit. She could always eat. “Will you make me a cheeseburger and grilled corn, please?”
“Of course, is that it?”
She narrows her eyes, thinking. “Well, what are you having?”
“Steak and some grilled veggies. Grandma made us both macaroni and potato salad. She also made a watermelon feta salad.”
