“Well, we had to share everything,” he says with a nostalgic huff of air. “Clothes, toys, food. We fought over dumb stuff, like who got to play the Xbox, but for the most part we’re happy to share.” He gets a mischievous glint in his eye.

“Is that...” I swallow before I can continue. “Is that why you and Leon are, um, okay with it?”

“With what?” Jace asks, that playful grin spreading. He wants me to say it out loud.

“With, you know.” I flutter my hands, blushing. “Both of you. Dating me. At the same time.”

“Aw, just dating?” He looks disappointed. “Sounded like you and Leon did a little more than ‘just date’ the other night.”

I still can’t believe he can be so cavalier about this, but it’s also kind of nice having someone who’s in on it—who knows about the wild night I had with Leon, when I don’t even think I could tell my friends.

Still, I have more serious questions.

“But what if something comes up?” I ask, more earnestly. “I don’t want anyone to get jealous or anything. That’s not what I’m interested in.”

Jace doesn’t appear pressed. “Well, if there’s ever a conflict, Leon wins,” he says with a shrug. “That’s just how it works.”

“What? Why?”

“He’s not just the oldest,” Jace explains. “He’s... the leader, really. You have to have someone in charge when you have a pack of—” He cuts himself off.

“A pack of big, burly guys?” I supply, chuckling. He nods.

“Yeah, that.” But Jace looks perturbed, and as our conversation goes on, he gets quieter and more thoughtful. I tell him all about Hannah and Aisling, and how we met during high school. They’re my support network, but they’re also both pretty busy with their lives, so we don’t see each other as much as I’d like. Jace nods and listens, but it’s clear his thoughts are elsewhere.

“What’s wrong?” I finally ask, wondering if I’m being tedious.

“There are just some things I haven’t told you yet.” Jace turns a serious expression on me. “Some important things about us.”

This doesn’t surprise me in the least. There is obviously something very weird about the four brothers.

“Okay,” I say, spreading my arms wide. “What can you say that’s any weirder than ‘please, go ahead and fuck my brother’?”

The corner of his mouth turns up in a tense smile. “I guess we have set a high bar.”

“So what is it?” I ask. “What aren’t you guys telling me?”

“Oh. It’s just that we, uh...” he trails off, not quite looking at me. “We live kind of far out of town! That’s it. And we all live together.”

That’s a bit weird, I guess, but it also seems perfectly fitting for them.

“Makes dating a little more complicated, huh?”

He nods rapidly. “Yes. Exactly. I just thought you should know.” Abruptly he rises from his seat and offers me his hand. “Why don’t we get out of here? There’s a lot more I’d like to do with you tonight.”

My face heats at the suggestion. “Like... what?” I ask, hesitant to assume he means what I’m hoping he means.

“What do you think?” Jace’s big grin returns, and he arches one eyebrow suggestively. Then he leans across the table so only I can hear him. “Leon said your pussy was so tight, he had to hold out. I wonder if you’ll squeeze my dick just as hard.”

Instantly, my whole lower body shudders. They really do share everything, I realize. Even the most personal details possible.

Did Leon tell Quinn and Eli, too? I can’t help but wonder if that was the reason for Eli hiding in the back of the truck, a black cloud over his head. Must be awkward.

Well, Jace has made it clear what he wants, and I know I want it, too. But thinking about taking off my clothes with him, alone... I feel a little bubble of uncertainty. What I did with Leon was wild, but still intimate. We have a relationship of some kind, that much is clear. Now that I’ve slept with him, going home with Jace almost feels like cheating.

My anxiety must show on my face, because Jace’s smile fades.

“We don’t have to do anything,” he clarifies. “If you don’t want to move that fast. Or if you’re not interested. I understand.”
