He didn’t seem to know what to do with Jude because he just stood there staring at the grumpy Dom who I thought looked relieved to see Cashel in one piece. “See, safe and sound.”
As Gareth hit the chorus, I smiled and nodded toward the back of the apartment. “Gareth’s in the shower. I’m not sure dragging him out is necessary?”
Instead of answering me, Jude focused on Cashel. “Are you okay? Brady was worried.”
I was pretty sure Brady hadn’t been the only one, but that didn’t seem to have occurred to Cashel.
“Yes.” His simple answer seemed to make Jude insane. But aside from a deep breath, the strange Daddy managed not to say anything rude as I stepped up behind Cashel and just smiled at the lunatic.
After a few seconds, he realized that wasn’t going to be enough for Jude. Leaning back into my touch, Cashel swallowed and nodded at whatever he was thinking. “We’ve been getting to know Bates and he’s been really helpful. Gareth’s getting his questions answered and…and I’ve found a few new questions, but we’re fine.”
Aww.
Kissing the back of his head, I squeezed his shoulder. “I’m glad you’re figuring out some new questions.”
It meant his brain was finally catching up to his dick.
That was definitely progress.
“We’ll just keep taking things one step at a time, though.” I wasn’t going to just basically let my boys move in after a long Christmas break.
It’d take a few more weeks than that no matter how cute they looked when they showed up in pajamas.
“Yes, Sir.” Cashel went very still as the word he hadn’t meant to say after yes escaped.
For once, Jude managed not to look like the live-action version of thunder. “Brady will be very happy that you’re figuring things out, but…but just remember what his mom said about finding the right person. Because I’ll help Brady bury his body if Bates isn’t nice to you.”
Somehow he managed to make my name sound like fucker or dickhead…it was impressive.
Cashel had no idea what to say to any of it but he managed a nod as he gathered his wits. “Thank you, but I don’t think that will be necessary.”
He was so cute and had such good manners.
Polite was so sexy.
Chapter 14
Gareth
“I’m gonna—” A knock on the door made me frown as I was cut off, but then I realized who it was.
My…
My Bates.
He was definitely my something because I’d woken up in his bed after having the best orgasm ever. I’d been lying down and cuddled and Cash had been moaning.
Best orgasm ever, so he was definitely my Bates.
And my Bates had played right into my naughty hands.
“Breakfast is ready.” Bates waited and I knew he was waiting to hear me acknowledge him but that didn’t seem nearly fun enough, so I made him wait. “Gareth?”
I wasn’t the only curious one in our new family-ish, boyfriend-ish partnership thing, so I went back to singing and tried not to laugh.
Finishing up the line, I started in on the next verse as the door cracked open. I kept going and pretended not to hear as he spoke to the crack. “Gareth?”
I did my best not to snicker as he sighed, but it was hard once I wiggled my ass against the curtain. “Naughty boy. I’m trying to give you privacy.”
Who’d said I wanted that?
I kept singing, making him bark out a laugh. “You’ve got Cashel out here blushing again.”
That made me laugh because he had to have seen my butt. “That means I’m doing something right.”
Because Cashel only seemed to blush when we did the best things with Bates.
Our new boyfiend-ish Dom laughed, definitely agreeing with me as he pushed the door open enough to lean against the frame. “I’m not sure he’d agree with that statement.”
Nope.
Cash groaned.
He loved it.
Even Bates chuckled as I stepped back just enough that I knew he could see my ass around the shower curtain. It wasn’t clear enough to see everything, so I wanted to make sure I tempted him enough to come closer.
I’d never showered with anyone else outside of locker room stuff, and no matter what porn said, no one had ever done anything interesting. But I had the perfect chance, and once I did it with Bates, then I could talk Cash into letting me scrub his back…and his front.
Yep, all he had to do was see that Bates approved and thought it was fine, and he wouldn’t worry.
Bates's sexy groan said he was tempted and he even stepped closer, but then he let out a very Cash-sounding sigh. “I shouldn’t.”
Oh, that sounded terrible.
Turning around, I poked my head out. “Why?”
Bates had definitely looked showerable when I’d hopped in…what had changed?
He was pouting and looking very cute and almost as dramatic as Cash or Brady, but it wasn’t an expression that said we were heading to another orgasm anytime soon. “Brady was worried enough about you that he sent Jude to find you.”
