“You won’t miss a signal because it’s not just sex. You love her. You won’t miss it. Trust yourself because she trusts you.”

Kade nods, letting out a slow breath. “Alright, yeah. Just…keep an eye on me. Just in case.”

He won’t need it, but I nod. “I will.” I finish my smoke, ready to move on. “You wanna stay here tonight? I think we’re all too buzzed to drive and Laken’s eating half the table, so she won’t wanna move.”

Kade laughs. “Is this how it works now? We just consult where we’re gonna fucking stay? We just go everywhere together?”

“Fuck if I know, man. I just know Laken likes having us both around, and you’re too much of a bitch to stay away anyway, so we might as well work this shit out.”

“I’m the bitch? You follow her around like a puppy.”

Yeah, and she doesn’t even have to hold my leash. “Fuck you. So, are we staying?”

“Fine, but I’m sick of you already, so fuck off for a bit.”

What a dick. “How’d it feel to fuck my girl after I filled her with cum the night before?”

Kade grins. “How’d it feel to fuck her this morning, still full of my cum?”

“You two are fucked,” Four says, coming outside with a full bottle of whiskey. “But you’re my only friends, so you wanna go to Ronnie’s fight tomorrow night with me? Gen’s having a girls’ night or some bullshit like that and she kicked me out of the apartment.”

Girls’ night. Jesus. When did there get to be so many chicks around here? “I swear, more of those dicks need to be gay. We need more Liams around here.”

“Zahn’s everything, so he’ll probably bring home a fucking golden retriever and a black cat, but that’s alright. Fuck, I wouldn’t be surprised if he started his own harem.” Four swigs from the bottle. “He knows what’s up.”

“No one in their right mind would put up with Zahn’s level of fuckery, let alone a whole harem. Nah, it’s going to take a real shady someone to tie Zahn down.” Kade steals the bottle. “Yeah, let's go to Ronnie’s fight.”

“Don’t get stabbed again,” I warn Kade. “You and Gen move in together?”

Four smiles like a dope. “She says no. I say yes. It’s fun to be schooled by her.” Four looks at Kade. “And would you wear pants around the house more often? My sweet little southerner is way too curious about your dick jewelry.”

Kade grins. “Genny knows what’s good for her.”

Chapter 27

I stumble into Four, holding onto him for support. Once again, I got drunker than I meant to, but fuck it. The night was fun, and the fights were good enough that we stuck around for a bit of the party.

Other than getting drunk, watching a few good fights, and partying with Jed and Four, this night has been eye-opening for another reason. It’s the first time I’ve been out at a party without being single. I’m a Dare, so we have a reputation around here, and I’ve contributed to that rep a lot, even though I’m the youngest, so I’ve been propositioned and flirted with all night. I thought I might enjoy the attention, revel in it a bit, soak it up and let it build up my ego. No. None of that shit. I’ve been annoyed. I might make fun of Four and Jed for being shackled to their loves, but I’m right in that group with them now.

Jed’s pushed the same chick off his lap three times now, and something weird is happening to me at the sight of it. I never expected to get predatory on behalf of Laken, but here I am, glaring at this blond chick like she’s the goddamn devil.

“He said no,” I snap at her. “Three times. Fuck off.”

“He can tell me that himself.” She glares at me, but it has zero effect because it’s sloppy and glazed.

“I’ve told you a hundred fucking times,” Jed says, sliding out of this girl’s clutches yet again. He looks right into her drunk eyes. “No. I don’t fucking want you.” He’s past the point of trying to be nice about it. I mean, if he were doing that to some girl, she’d call it harassment. It goes both ways, lady.

She sulks, but luckily, her friend drags her away and Four wraps his arm around my waist to keep me steady. His other hand goes around Jed’s shoulders, and he’s pulling us in tight. “Alright, assholes. Let’s go. We were upstanding boys and now it’s time to get dirty.”

How dirty? I want to ask, but don’t. My mind is already in the gutter, but now it’s weird. Sure, we’ve fucked around before in front of Four, and him and Genny were in the truck that night things took a turn, but we’ve never been in this relationship and gotten sexy in front of other people. Hell, other than a few random nights of fooling around, the three of us haven’t even gotten that dirty yet.

Because I’m a dick, I grin at the chick as we walk by. “Bye, Blondie.” She gives me the finger and I’m pretty proud of it.

The fight tonight was at some warehouse just outside of town, so we stumble our drunk asses down the road until we get to town and a truck pulls over.

“Jesus fuck, boys,” Bo says through the rolled-down window. “Get in.” We talk his ear off and he complains about how stupid we are, but by the time we get back to Four’s place, I’ve settled into a nice buzz, not as drunk anymore.

“You should have come tonight,” Jed says to Bo as we pull up out front of Four’s place. “Ronnie did good.”
