Page 64 of The Heart

I’m vaguely aware that Colton is frozen solid beside me, no doubt in shock, or maybe horror, who knows. But I don’t care at this point. Right now, I’m watching my men take a huge step.

And it melts my fucking heart.

Sebastian spears his fingers into Luke’s blond hair and they let out groans of pleasure as he takes their kiss deeper.

I take a steadying breath, needing to pull myself out of the trance they have me in. I look over at Colton, his shocked eyes are wide as he continues to watch them.

“Colt?” I say quietly, trying to get his attention.

“Huh?” he says, quickly glancing over, then back at the guys for a second before shaking his head and focusing on me. “Fuck, sorry.” He shakes his head again. “I mean…holy fuck.”He runs a hand over his jaw and takes in a deep breath. I watch him carefully, trying to determine how he feels about this. Because I honestly can’t tell.

“Are you…okay?”I finally just say it.

“How long has this been going on?” he asks.

“Since the safehouse,” I say slowly, trying again to judge his reaction. And I get it, this is a lot to learn about your two best friends. And it certainly wasn’t the most subtle way for them to bring it up.

“Shit,” he says, rubbing the back of his neck and shaking his head. He lets out a breath as he looks back at them, blinking slowly as if they might disappear if he does that for long enough.

His reaction is driving me fucking insane. Because I can’t tell what’s going through this man’s head. I love my best friend… but what if he doesn’t support this?Fuck.

I have to ask.

“So… are you okay…with this?”I watch his face carefully, and his eyes whip back to me. He quirks a smile, studying my face right back. It makes me shift just a little, because he’s not usually this direct with me, this…intense.Me being this turned on while he’s wearing Luke’s shirt is not helping the underwear situation.

“Didn’t they tell you?” He smiles wider.

I’m hopelessly confused at this point, so I stare at him until he answers.

“Leena, I fuck men too. And Ireallyfucking enjoy watching.” He smirks, quirking one eyebrow.

And now it’s his turn to studymyreaction.

I try to be cool about this new information, try to keep my face neutral, to keep my mouth from dropping open, butholy fuck.

My mouth is definitely open.

I did not see that coming. Not one single bit. I figured Colton wasn’t vanilla by his constant suggestive remarks and how I saw him with two women after our last job. But I’ve never seen him show interest in a man. Or maybe I have, and I just didn’t recognize it as that. Colton is just…Colton,with everyone.

I stare at him, realizing how much I don’t know about him.

“Leena, I fuck men too,”I replay his words. Why is that so goddamn hot? I mean, clearly, I’m into that. But now I’m suddenly picturing Colton…

“Fucking hell,”Colton grinds out in a long breath from between clenched teeth, his eyes back on the men in front of us.

When I look over at them, I find that Luke has managed to get Sebastian out of his shirt. Sebastian quickly retaliates, grabbing both of Luke’s wrists, then straddles him so he can slam them to the floor above Luke’s head. Sebastian lowers, sliding against Luke’s heaving body in a way that shoves up his sweater. Their muscled abs press against each other as Sebastian pins him to the floor. They smile at each other for a moment, before their lips are crashing together all over again.

Okay.

My underwear are completely ruined at this point.

Without looking at each other, I feel Colton lean over, speaking to me quietly.

“Leena, get the wine.”
