I groaned and slid back off her. “Drink your water. Matthew wants to make you squirt.”
Evie blushed as she sat up and I handed her the glass. Her hair tumbled down her shoulders, and my gaze kept dipping to the V of her dress. I loved all her dresses.I loved her.
Austin and Matthew joined us in the living room and as Austin sat down on the edge of the couch, I noticed the bulge in his jeans. I shot him a smirk, enjoying the way the blush in his cheeks turned his neck red too.
“Are we officially at the show-and-tell part of our day?” I asked.
“Yes,” Evie said.
“Yep, I think it’s time,” Matthew chuckled. “I think Lucky is happy in his cat tree, too.”
We all looked over at it, and sure enough, my green-eyed boy had climbed to the very top to lord over us, as was his right.
“I love him,” Evie whispered.
“I do too,” I said.
Lucky stared directly at Austin, then opened his mouth to chirp.
“What does that mean?” Austin asked.
“I think you’re being summoned,” I teased.
Austin sighed and stood up, going to the tree and holding out his hand. Lucky butted him with his head, and I watched Austin’s shoulders visibly relax.
Evie smiled at him, her expression dreamy. I was weirdly, maybe, a tiny bit jealous. Not because she was looking at him that way, but because I kind of sort of possibly wanted to look at him that way too.
What a dick.
I got to my feet and stretched. I’d already set up one of the rooms with everything kinky.Allof the equipment, along with a king-sized bed.
“How much fucking money do you make, Nick?” Austin asked, still petting Lucky as he looked around the house.
“I’ve made some good decisions the last few years,” I said. “And I was lucky. We can thank my cat for that, he’s my charm.”
Austin shook his head. “Wild. Is the build going well?”
“Yeah,” I said, surprised he’d asked. “I thought you were gonna fight me about it.”
He shrugged his shoulders. “It’s fine.”
I fought a smile, and ignored the way Evie and Matthew were staring at us.
“The zoning and everything was approved faster than I expected,” I said. “So right now, we’re still in the planning stages. We’ll really start in about seven months, and then it’ll take another year or so after that.”
“That’s so long,” Evie said. “I didn’t realize it would take that long.”
“Yeah,” I said. “It’ll be worth it, though. But check on me in like a year and a half, I may be losing it.”
Matthew laughed. “You’ll be okay. It’ll be fun. I’m sure people will be excited.”
“I hope. The building models look great.”
“Okay, wait,” Evie said. “I want sex show and tell, but I also want to see that too.”
“Me too,” Austin said. “I’ve never built something like that, obviously.”
“Obviously,” I muttered, thinking about the hotel roof. “You shouldn’t be building anything.”
