“Straight Boy’s showing off,” I whisper before granting a tender kiss as a reward.

Seth opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out.

“Holy. Fucking. Hell,” Cody finally manages.

“What was that?” Seth follows.

“That’s what we wanted to show you,” Luke says.

As Luke and I get on our feet, Seth’s still staring at his bag.

“When the hell did you find out he could do that?” he asks.

“At Alpha Alpha Mu’s party last week. We were messing around, and this weird thing happened.”

“And you waited through the weekend to tell us this?”

“We figured it was something I did,” Luke says, “but we weren’t sure if I could control it.”

“So something about your chemistry together lets him use his powers,” Cody says, his gaze narrowing as he considers this.

“Yeah, and it’s stronger when I’m—” I stop myself.

“What?” Seth asks.

“That’s very thoughtful of you,” Luke says, clearly appreciating my attempt at discretion. “It’s stronger when we’re fucking. Technically, when he’s inside me. But as you can see, even if we just fool around, I can still do more than anything I could have imagined.”

“You seem to have a lot of control over it,” Seth says.

“It took a lot to do that with the bag.”

“It takes us a lot just to play around with our necklaces,” I say.

“If you have access to this much power already,” Cody says, “that’s a good sign.”

“It suggests he’ll be able to manage it at some point,” is as much as Seth concedes, but I can tell by Cody’s wandering gaze that his thoughts are elsewhere.

“So you can do more than just what you showed us?” Cody asks.

“The night we figured it out, we were levitating,” Luke says. “Brad’s head was so close to the ceiling fan, I’m surprised it didn’t clip him.”

“But since then,” I add, “we’ve tried, and he can levitate us consciously while we do stuff.”

Cody’s lips twist up as he considers this. “Can you do any of it when you’re not messing around with Brad?”

Luke shakes his head. “I can’t do what you just saw, but I can do some things.”

“So you can only use all this power when you’re fucking?” Cody asks Luke.

“That’s how it seems so far.”

Seth looks at Cody, who’s pressing his lips together, his gaze narrow.

“What are you thinking?” Seth asks.

“If he has this much control while they’re messing around, maybe if I tried to give him the vision again, he’d have more control in there too.”

Seth cringes. “How would you even do that? Are you gonna like, lie on top of Luke while Brad fucks him?”
