"It belongs in the bathroom."
"Damn. What a loss."
"You can imagine me showering."
"With a detachable showerhead." He raises a brow.
I… Oh. My blush deepens.
Wes winks, turns, moves to the bathroom.
Those boxes are heavy—I couldn't pick up one of them—but he moves with ease. Sets them down softly. Jumps back into the hallway.
It's just in time for Griffin to step inside.
I guess today is my first time meeting Hunter's friend. He's different than anyone else I know. Mostly quiet. Exceedingly honest. Good at giving Wes shit.
He's hot. Tall and broad with dark tattoos and darker features. There's intensity in his eyes, but there's joy too. He's not quite on the Brendon or Hunter tier of brooding.
He nods a hello. Sets my bright red suitcase on the carpet. "Which room is yours?"
"How'd you know?"
He motions to my bright red nails. "Brendon told me."
"Fuck Brendon." Dean steps inside, his arms wrapped around an enormous box. "I'm the one directing this shit."
"Lord help us." Chloe follows him inside. She nods a hello and holds up a takeout iced coffee.
"Is that what I think it is?" I ask.
She nods. "Courtesy of Hunter." Her dark eyes light up. She sets the drink on the counter. Raises her eyebrows.
She's trying to be subtle, but it's not really her strong suit.
"Thanks." My fingers curl around the plastic. Mmm. Iced Americano. Is there anything better?
"He was insistent on bringing it right away." She takes a sip from her takeout cup. Lets out a sigh of pleasure.
"Sunshine, you keep doing that, I'm gonna take you right here." He nods to the kitchen counter then moves into the living room and sets the box in the corner.
"Right here?" Her eyes lock with his.
"You prefer another spot?" He motions to the balcony. "So everyone on the street can see us?"
Her cheeks flush.
"Personally, I think it's wrong you're depriving the world of the beauty of our lovemaking."
"Personally, I think you're an idiot," she says.
"We all do," Griffin adds.
Dean ignores him. "Em's room has a mirrored closet."
Chloe blushes.
Griffin rolls his eyesthis againthen moves down the hallway.
