Greer folded his arms over his chest and glanced between Lucas and me.“Can he vote?”
“Of course I can,” I said.“I’m twenty-one.”
He shrugged.“Then you can make your own decisions.”
I really liked Greer.
“Plus, we need the manpower,” Reese added.He looked to me.“We want you to meet Lucian.Lucas and I are having dinner with him in a couple of weeks to discuss some details.We think he’ll join us once he has a better idea of our plan.You and Walker could tag along.”
“I’ll be there,” I was quick to say.And damn it, I was going to convince Master to make time.
Reese was about to say something else, but the second Tenley waltzed in with his eyes glued to his phone.
“Did you get lost, brother?”Reese asked.
“If I did, it was on purpose,” River muttered, lifting his gaze to the others.Not me yet.He hadn’t spotted me.“Lucas, do you have some news you wanna share?”
Lucas tilted his head.“News…?”
“I mean, we kinda knew somethin’ was goin’ on,” River continued.“The few times you’ve met someone, you haven’t been able to keep your trap shut for a second.”He held up his phone.“Yet, you haven’t told us anythin’ about this Air Force guy you’re apparently in a relationship with.”
“What?”Reese grabbed the phone.
Lucas turned a little sheepish but hid it fairly well.“It’s complicated.”
“No, it’s not,” Reese said.“Because that’s an option.You can list yourself as complicated with someone on Facebook, but this just says—as of fuckin’yesterday—that you’re in a relationship with a Colt Carter.”
I withheld my snickering, because I didn’t want the show to end.Hell, make me some popcorn, please!
“An airman?”Greer looked a little grossed out.“Aim higher, Lucas.You can do so much better.”
This was too funny!And if this was the banter they shared, I so wanted to belong.
“Oh, knock it off,” Lucas said.“It’s complicated because he’s been on deployment.We met in Richmond before the summer—twenty-four freaking hours, and I can’t get him out of my head.And apparently, he can’t stop thinking about me either, so we decided to go for it.”
Aw, that was sweet!
“You’ve been stressin’ about somethin’ this week,” River noted.
Lucas scoffed and folded his arms over his chest.“I’m learning that’s what happens when you worry about someone overseas.He’s going to give me gray hair before he comes home next spring.”
“Is he a Little?”Greer furrowed his brow.
Lucas cleared his throat.“Uh, no.He’s an arrogant, loud, dominant, and sadistic pilot from Texas.He drives me crazy already.”
“I’ll be damned.”Greer smiled.“What kind of pilot?”
“I have a better question.”Reese walked over to him, with a big smile on his face too, and threw an arm around Lucas’s shoulders.“Does he make you beg, West?”
I pinched my lips together as Lucas pushed Reese off him.
“Fuck me, he does,” Reese laughed.“This isserious.Oh man, I can’t wait to meet this guy.”
I couldn’t wait to be part of this.I fucking couldn’t.They had to let me join them.
