I point at his shirt in question. “What’s that?”
“Oh.” Mason blushes furiously. “It’s fromThe Goonies.”
“The what?”
Mason blinks and shakes his head, as if totally astounded at my question. “The Goonies… It’s a movie.”
“I’m not much of a movie guy.”
“Oh. Well. All right.”
“But we can watch it so I can see why you like it.”
That gorgeous blush I’m really starting to enjoy splashes across Mason’s cheeks and down his throat, sneaking under the shirt withThe Gooniesimage on it. He mumbles something I can’t quite make out, then starts to descend the stairs,but he seems to recall what I’d said earlier and pauses halfway down with his hand tight on the banister.
“Can we go downstairs?” Mason asks, eyes staring daggers into the bottom step. “I need some tea.”
“Sure, Mason.” I follow behind him like the agreeable guy I am.
My phone dings in my pocket, and I tug it out as I follow behind Mason into the kitchen.
Dante
Hayden and Jacob are unbearable when you’re not here
As if I keep them in line
Dante
No, but Jacob is too embarrassed for you to see him making constant moon eyes at Hayden
MOON EYES?
Dante
Oh brother
Forget it
Wait, are you saying…
Jacob wouldn’t do that. We have a rule.
Dante
What fucking rule, my dude?
That we won’t get involved with any of the guys in the house
Dante
…When did you make this rule
It was an agreement we made in the warehouse before even accepting the deal
Dante
Uhm
