“Oh? Like what?” I ask, pressing myself right up against him.
“Easy access.” He dips his head and kisses me. I reach one hand behind his neck and hold him to me as his mouth explores mine.
“You two starting the party without us?” Kingsley asks, making me reluctantly pull back from Bower, who gives me a wink.
I step back and turn towards Kingsley. “Of course n—” My words cut off when my eyes land on him, Weston, and Reece, all standing in a row, dressed in furry lemur onesies. “Ohmygod!” I squeal before laughter erupts out of me.
Reece crosses his arms, pretending he’s not amused, but I can tell his fake scowl from his real one now, and he’s enjoying my reaction to him. Kingsley smiles and spins around, clearly pleased with my laughter, as Weston just stands there with a sliver of amusement on his face as he watches me.
Seeing my big guy in a lemur onesie is just about the best thing I’ve ever seen, and I never want to get this image out of my head.
“Pictures!” I yell, running back upstairs to grab my phone. When I come back down, Kingsley takes my phone and sets up the self-timer then finds somewhere to place it that’s the right height.
“Come here, Tink,” Bower says, motioning me over to him and the others. He kneels down and pats his knee. I sit on it and make sure my legs are covering his loincloth area, not wanting to geteverypart of him in the picture. Weston stands directly behind him, and Reece stands to one side. Kingsley presses the button on my phone, then jogs over to Weston’s other side.
“Everyone say Zee!” Bower says, and the five of us say it loudly as my phone flashes several times. Kingsley puts on some Halloween music, and we spend the next half hour taking photos. I get one of just the guys, then make sure to get multiple photos with each of them and me.
When I’m finally done with that, I climb into Weston’s lap and curl up against his furry chest. “Isn’t this hot?” I ask, running my hand over the soft costume.
“Very.”
“You could take it off.”
“No, it makes you happy.” I lift my head from his chest and look up at him.
“I love you, Weston.”
“I love you, too.” He gives me a quick kiss, making me blush for some reason.
“You don’t have to be uncomfortable for me, though. Besides, I already got lots of photos of you.”
“I don’t mind.”
I press my lips together, knowing he isn’t going to budge on this right now. I scan the room and see the other three chatting about something as the spooky sounds of Monster Mash play in the background.
“Is this what Halloween parties are normally like?”
He takes a second to think before he answers. “No. Adult parties normally involve a lot more liquor.”
I gasp in excitement! “Yes! Can we do that?”
“Do what?” He frowns down at me.
“Drink liquor! It’s still on my bucket list! Plus, didn’t you guys promise to play drinking games with me?” I bite my lip as I look at him hopefully.
He doesn't say anything, and I smile. “You don’t have a reason to say no, do you?”
“Fine, but I’ll be monitoring how much you drink. If I tell you that you’ve had enough, you listen to me, okay? I don't want you getting sick.”
“I promise!” I say excitedly. I don’t want to get sick, either.
We stand up, and he heads to the kitchen as I run over to the others. Reece pulls me into his side as he asks, “What’s got you so excited, darling?”
“We’re going to play a drinking game!”
“Oh, we are, are we?” His eyebrow raises as he watches Weston pull out some bottles from the fridge.
“What’s that?” I ask, immediately going to see what he’s got. He places four beer bottles and one blue one on the counter. “Why haven’t I noticed those before?”
