Then I spied what I was looking for.
Praise the Goddess!
There was a whole section of extra large. Cackling with satisfaction, I pointed at that shelf, wanting to make sure Ash was covered.
Literallyandfiguratively.
"Okay, boys, load these up," I directed. "I'm going to get something. Be right back."
They nodded at me, so I hustled off. I found the flats of bottled water and lugged one up on each of my shoulders. It would be handy to keep in the bedroom.
Marathon sex was thirsty work.
Then I hurried back, curious about where Jay disappeared to, but giving him his space.
When I returned to the others, I found Ash standing right where I left him, staring at the shelves. Mase at least was over at the lubes, scooping up bottles and tossing them in the cart.
"Dude! What are you doing?" I whisper-yelled at Ash.
"Picking out condoms?" He had the audacity to blink at me in confusion. "I don't know which to get. Look! There are even ones with flavors! I can't decide which I'd like—"
"Get them all!" I interrupted with a snarl and swept the whole shelf of larges into the cart. "You can figure out your favorites later!" I did the same with the extra larges. "We arenothaving pups yet!"
Sure, I wanted to be a dad, but not at eighteen. I was nowhere near ready for that responsibility, no matter how much I would love our kids. On top of that, Posy wasn't recovered enough to carry pups. We weren't even sure she'dhavea heat this first year due to the abuse and starvation her tiny body had endured for so long.
As Ash stared at me with an open mouth, Jay trotted over with an armload of lotions, face masks, and bath bombs.
"You guys ready?" he asked.
"What's all that?" Ash frowned at him.
"Stuff to pamper Posy with. I want her first heat to be as positive an experience as possible."
"Good thinking," Mase praised him, then clapped his hands. "Chop chop, boys. Our girl needs us, even if she isn't linking us."
"Probably because Cole is keeping her well occupied," I muttered a little sourly, wishing it was me, then brightened when I realized itwouldbe me soon enough.
"I hope he's pacing himself. He only has six condoms," Jay grunted.
"Six?" I narrowed my eyes at him, and Ash and Mase became statues next to me. "I bought three packs of three. That's nine, dumbass, not six—"
"I tried on one of the regulars this morning. It was too small."
"How did you know it was too small?" Ash tilted his head to the side, looking very much like Sid. "I mean, was it too tight or didn't go down far enough or what?"
"Both, but worse, it was so tight that it ripped."
"Did you try the other two on to see if it was a manufacturing flaw?" Mase, of course, would think of that.
"One more, and the same thing happened. So there's one regular left, but if it's too small for me, it's for sure too small for any of you."
"Teeny weenie peenie," Ash said with a giant grin.
I snorted, and Mase slapped him upside the head.
"Don't ridicule your brother," he growled. "Jay, you're plenty big. The fact that a regular condom is too small is proof enough of that."
"I'mnotridiculing him!" Ash protested while I giggled at Mase for complimenting Jay on the size of his dick. "I'm just stating a fact! It's not my fault he's the smallest of us!"
