Colton pulls away and stares at me intently with those beautiful blue eyes. “Thank you, that helped.”
I smile. “We can have another session soon, but now I’m really going to be late for my meeting. I have to go.” I press a kiss to his lips before turning and doing the same with Vienna. “Don’t shower today. I want you to go to school smelling like us.” I instruct them before standing. “But I need to be quick if I’m going to have another one. I don’t want to go into my meetings and having everyone smell what we’ve been doing. They’ll lose all respect for me. I’ll clean up the room later. The longer we’re missing, the more suspicious the others will get. Please don’t mention this room to anyone else. Gio doesn’t know it’s here,only Sage. Suzy and Ben know, since they were here when I was having it installed, but they are discrete.”
I hold out a hand and help Vienna up, pulling her skirt down over her ass. “No panties today,” I tell her, patting her butt. “If the other two ask why, I want you to tell them in great detail what we did.” I wink at her, and she giggles again.
“You’re asking for trouble, aren’t you?”
I bend down and pick up Colton’s sweats, passing them to him as he stands, then I grab the knife and dildo and place them on the bed—I’ll deal with them when I get home. Once Colton is dressed, I use the peephole in the wall to make sure no one is in the hallway, and the three of us leave.
“I’ll see you at breakfast. I won’t be long.” I shoo them away, and they continue down the hallway, with Colton’s arm around Vienna to keep her steady. I usually like a little more aftercare, but for today, this is just going to have to do.
Chapter Fifteen
When I get down to breakfast, everyone is at the table. I guess having meals in the dining room is going to be a new thing with too many people to hang out in the kitchen. I need to check in with Suzy and Ben to see if I need to hire a chef now that we’re feeding five extra mouths with three of them being boys. There’s a huge spread of fruit, pastries, and pancakes set out, but I hear Sage whining.
“Where’s the meat, Suzy? You know I like my meat.”
Suzy scoffs indelicately. “That’s what she said.”
Tristan chuckles and holds out his hand for a fist bump, which she indulges as she places a platter of bacon and sausage links on the table. “There, are you happy now? Make sure you eat some fruit to go along with all that meat. You need a better diet.”
“Oh, I’m starving. I’ll have some meat too,” Vienna, who is sitting next to him, says, holding out her plate to Sage who places a couple of pieces of bacon on it and a sausage.
“Who the fuck are you and what did you do with Sage?” Gio gapes at him in surprise. “You usually get stabby with your fork whenever I ask for some.”
“That’s because you don’t deserve any. You are an asshole, but Vienna needs it for brain power for school, although Iam almost certain Vienna has already had her protein this morning.” He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively at her, and she blushes prettily. Casey chokes on her juice, carefully placing her glass on the table. Sage leans in and inhales deeply near Vienna’s neck, making her giggle. “Yup, someone had a workout this morning and needs to replenish her energy.”
The table falls into an awkward silence before Gio grabs a pastry and throws it at Sage. “Shut it, I’m fucking eating. I don’t need any details of whatever kinky shit you have gotten up to.”
Colton and Tristan are ignoring the commotion and talking quietly between them, so only Xavier has noticed me paused in the doorway. I wink at him before grabbing a mug and filling it with coffee off the side table. I sit down next to him. His hand finds my thigh, and he gives it a squeeze.
“Good morning,” I say cheerfully to everyone else before grabbing a Danish to go with my coffee. I love Suzy’s strawberry Danishes. They are my biggest weakness. I take a big bite and groan. “This is so freaking good.” They are still warm and the perfect balance of flaky pastry and sugary filling.
Tristan smirks, and Xavier’s hand tightens on my thigh. Colton and Vienna stare at me with undisguised desire. I guess they are still riding the high from our little session.
Sage leans back in his chair and looks at me, his eyes sparkling. “Well, someone seems to be in a good mood this morning. I wonder why that is?”
“You’ve finally joined us. I want to discuss what you’ve been up to this week,” Gio says, and I can tell by his tone he’s grumpy. Is he really looking to pick a fight this morning? What is his fucking problem?
“You know we don’t talk business at the table,” Suzy says, slapping him on the back of the head before retrieving an empty platter and returning to the kitchen. He glares at me, and I shrug.
“I don’t want to piss off the person who makes our meals. You can come see me at the office after school if you want and we can talk there,” I tell him, and I practically see steam pouring out of his ears. I know he can’t because he and Casey have a prior engagement. All I’m doing is pissing him off, but it’s time he’s gotten a taste of his own medicine. Oh well, he will get over it. It isn’t like he has shown any interest lately anyway.
“Here, you left this at the range yesterday.” Tristan reaches behind him, pulls my gun out of the waistband of his pants, and passes it to me over the table.
“Oh good, thank you. That saves me from having to retrieve it.” I tuck it into the holster in my corset and take a sip of my coffee.
“What the fuck? Who are you, and what have you done to my sister?” Gio asks the same stupid question he asked of Sage. “You never go anywhere without that gun.”
I flip him off and ignore his question. He doesn’t deserve to know anything.
“I guess she was completely mesmerized by my and Xavier’s marksmanship. We totally kicked her ass,” Tristan crows, and I didn’t think Gio’s eyes could get any wider, but he continues to surprise me.
“You beat Tori at shooting?”
“They cheated,” I grumble, remembering the taunting words Tristan and Xavier whispered to one another.
“Don’t be a sore loser. You still won in the end,” Xavier says quietly in my ear, “and I kicked her ass on the mats this morning,” Xavier adds louder for everyone to hear.
