Todd squints. “What am I looking at?”

I make a lunge for Lumi as there’s a knock at the door. She twists out of my grasp, trying to tear into the packaging. Todd gets up to answer the door.

“Don’t open that!” I tell him, trying to get a hold of Lumi’s arms. The woman is like a damn cat, evading me effortlessly.

My toe hits a snag in the carpet, I go down, Lumi succeeds in ripping open the plastic, and I end up with half a dozen butt plugs of increasing size pelting my face and torso.

That’s when the door opens.

“Uh, guys?” Camden says, his eyes moving between the three of us slowly. “There’s this big dude at the front door.”

“Thanks,” I say weakly, brushing a butt plug off my chest.

He backs away and disappears down the hall. Lumi’s hand is covering her mouth, not an ounce of regret in her pretty eyes.

Todd picks up a plug that landed near my head. “Do I even wantto know?”

“No, precious baby,” Lumi says, gingerly taking the toy from his grasp. “Let’s give Isaac some privacy to get dressed. Maybe do a little stretching before his…bigdate?”

“Lumi,” I groan.

The last I hear before the door closes is her laughter.

I sigh. At least I have supportive friends.

Chapter 10

Trevor

The man named Camden crunches on a chip as I wait for Isaac to appear.

The place is typical of student-rented housing. A bit worn down. Sparsely furnished. Completely lacking the warmth Isaac deserves.

“You lift?” Camden asks, crunching down on another chip.

“Yeah. I have equipment at home.”

He nods, as if he expected as much. Footsteps approach. But it isn’t Isaac who walks into the room.

It’s a five-foot-nothing, brown-haired woman who appraises me with sharp eyes. She stops a dozen feet in front of me, her gaze taking me in, top to bottom. I’m fairly certain her waist is the size of my thigh. “Trevor?” she says in question.

“Lumi?” I deduce.

Her lips twitch into something akin to a smile. “Isaac will be down in a second. He would have been ready on time, but Todd and I kept him…preoccupied.”

“I don’t mind waiting,” I tell her truthfully.

Todd ambles in the next second, shooting me a wave. “Library Guy.”

“Nice to see you again, Todd.”

Camden eats another chip.

Lumi steps closer, taking an arc around the couch that reminds me of a prowling cat. “I assume I don’t have to give you the obligatory ‘you hurt my friend and I’ll turn your balls 2D’ speech?”

Camden coughs around his chip.

“You’re welcome to give me any speech you’d like,” I tell her.
