Page 28 of The Laughing Game

“No drinks before kinks? What would you have if you weren’t going to the Bordello?” I asked, my cheeks heating with the thought of what Gideon and Vihaal might be doing in that back room a bit later.

Gideon laughed. “Oh, I like to try all sorts of different cocktails. As long as it’s sweet and has an interesting name, I’m in.”

“I’m a martini man, myself,” Vihaal confessed. “I often make one myself in the evenings at home. I’m picky about the gin.”

Gideon rolled his eyes. “Very picky. What’s the brand of gin you like, V? Remind me, please.”

Vihaal frowned. “You know exactly what kind of gin I like, Deo.”

“Why, yes, I do,” Gideon said, giving me a cheeky smile. “It’s Hendricks. Do you know why I remember it, Angel?”

I shook my head, looking back and forth between them. Vihaal seemed annoyed, Gideon smug and entertained. I got the impression that he got a kick out of annoying his older husband.

“Well, you see, I bought the wrong kind once.”

“Oh, dear,” I said. “Did he make you go back to the store?”

Vihaal’s face went from annoyance to amusement in a second and he snorted a very inelegant laugh, while Gideon gaped at me like I’d just said the most ridiculous thing in the whole world. But then he gave me a slow smile and a wink.

“If only!”

Gideon shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest, sitting back in the chair and regarding me thoughtfully. He’d worn a soft-looking orange sweater with pale blue jeans and black leather boots with a bit of a heel. He looked fierce and sexy and I felt like I was being watched by a jungle cat.

Vihaal also had a predatory look on his face as he gazed at me. “I have a very interesting idea.”

“Oh no,” Gideon muttered, pink hitting the tops of his cheeks.

“You’ll like this one,” Vihaal murmured.

“Will I?”

“I think so. But the real question is, will Angel?”

I gazed back and forth between them, waiting for Vihaal to continue.

“Well, you’re going to have to tell me what it is,” I said.

The molly boy chose that moment to return with our drinks. When he’d left us, Vihaal leaned forward. “I just thought, that the next step after watching two men fucking in a video might be watching two men fucking in real life.”

Gideon gave a little shriek. “Yes.Yes, yes, yes.”

“What do you mean, exactly?”

“I mean,” Vihaal said, “that if you’d like to see what two very kinky, and very gay, men do when they go in the Bordello, you can have that opportunity. Tonight.”

Wait, what?

“Hold on a second,” I said, lifting my hand to give myself a moment to understand what Vihaal was proposing.

“I simply mean,” Vihaal said, speaking in a deep voice that warmed me as much as the fire burning in the hearth. “That if you’d like to join us, you can.”

“To watch,” I stated.

“Yes,” Vihaal said, inclining his head. “To watch.”

“Oh, but Angel will have to sign up, won’t he?” Gideon said.

“I’ll cover it,” Vihaal smiled, as if he were offering me a prime seat at a prestigious banquet. Actually…
