Max smirks as he heads for the door. “Thanks for this, Reaper.”

“Anytime, brother.”

As he leaves, I realize we’ve never had this kind of conversation before, and I guess having the girls around has made us a little more… in touch with our fucking feelings.

“Are you okay?” Aspen asks as we both lie in her bed, staring at the ceiling.

“I am,” I answer, but the truth is, I don’t know yet. There’s stuff Aspen doesn’t know about Ethan and all the situations around him. Not until I figure out if I’m really doing the right thing.

“I miss our conversations. When it was just the two of us,” she confides, taking a deep breath.

“Me too.” I huff.

She turns to face me, her expression unreadable. “I fucked Knox, Dante, and Max,” she says bluntly.

I burst out laughing. “Aspen.” My body shakes, and she groans, covering her face.

“I’m a nympho.” There’s a hint of embarrassment, but I can see in her face how amused she is with all of this.

“No, you’re not! Girl, I fucked Ethan and Ryker. You’re just ahead by one!” I joke, and we both laugh until our eyes glisten with tears.

“Was it good?” I ask, mostly curious about Dante.

Aspen sits up, grinning. “Oh, they are amazing.” For a second, I feel like I’m back in my room during high school, talking with my best friend about the boys we liked, and Aspenismy best friend. I would do anything to protect her. I am doing it!

I won’t lie, but there’s a flicker of jealousy when I think about Dante, and it’s not her fault he didn’t want me, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting, but I’m not going to give up on him yet.

Aspen leans in. “You know they all have pierced dicks?” Her cheeks turn red, and I gasp.

“They do?! What kind?” I sat up, suddenly very interested.

“Max has one at the head—like two little balls.” She gestures with her hands, and I have to bite my lip to keep from laughing. “Knox has Jacob’s stairs, I think.”

“Jacob’s ladder?” I raise my eyebrows.

“Yes!” She points at me, and we giggle like idiots. “And Dante has both.”

Oh,Dante has both.That’s… unexpected. Andveryinteresting.

“Did it hurt? Jacob’s ladder?” I ask, trying to play it cool, but I’ve had that on my kinky wishlist for way too long.

Aspen’s blush deepens. “Kind of, it hurt a bit going in, not really hurt. It’s a weird sensation; it feels colder with that steel rubbing inside, but once I stretched…” She spreads her hands apart as if pushing walls, “It hits every sweet spot.”

She closes her eyes and lies back with a blissful sigh.

“I bet,” I murmur, watching her with a smile.

She opens her eyes again. “And Ethan and Ryker?”

I shrug. “No piercings, but they’re both big. And Ryker’s girth made me tingle.” I cover my mouth, and we both collapse into laughter again.

God, this feelsgood.Talking with Aspen like this, no jealousy, no judgment, just us, but then her face shifts, darker. “Do you trust Ethan?”

I hesitate. It’s subtle, but I know she catches it.

“I do. Why?” I lean onto my side, facing her, and run my fingers through her long, dark hair.
