He handed one to each of them.

“Do you know the best way to test a vibrator whilst retaining one’s respectability?”

Billy and Harry shook their heads.

Eddie pointed to his face. “The nose. It’s the most sensitive place that you can safely use in a shop. Close your eyes and give it a whirl.”

Billy shifted uncomfortably. “I never thought I’d be testing vibrators with my brother.”

Harry gently shoved him. “Don’t make it weirder by talking about it.”

They all burst out laughing. “I have to admit, I’ve never done this with siblings,” Eddie said. “Go on, it’s not like you’re doing anything sexual.”

He stared right at Billy as he said this, who held his gaze before closing his eyes. A faint hum sounded as Billy switched his vibrator on. Gingerly, he held it up to his nose so it lightly touched the tip.

“What setting do I have it on?” Billy asked.

“Low,” Eddie replied. “Here, let me.”

He took the toy from Billy’s grip and turned it up to the next level. He replaced it, allowing his hand to sweep over Billy’s. Their eyes met for a second.

A shiver ran down Eddie’s spine.

Then the moment vanished.

Billy raised the vibrator once more. “Wow, that’s packing more of a punch now. Harry, are you doing this too?”

Harry sighed and activated his. Now the two brothers had their eyes closed, Eddie took the chance to examine Billy’s face. God, he was handsome. His dark skin was flawless. His strong nose and extremely kissable lips made Eddie want to launch himself towards him and claim them for himself.

Harry was less attractive. His face had clearly been battered over the years. His nose appeared to have been broken on more than one occasion and he had a scar above his eye. Thank goodness Billy had respected his gorgeous face and not followed his brother into fighting.

They both touched their noses at around the same time. Once again, they dissolved into fits of giggles. Eddie saw what they would have been like as kids. He found it endearing.

“Keep your eyes closed,” Eddie cried. “The pair of you are cheats.”

Billy screwed his eyes tightly shut.

“Okay. Give me full power.”

“You ready for that, cowboy?” Eddie asked.

“Certainly am.”

Eddie took the vibrator and selected the top setting. These things were more powerful than people imagined.

“Shit,” Billy gasped when Eddie put it in his hand.

“I did warn you.”

Billy slowly drew it towards his nose. When it made impact, he leapt away like a scalded cat.

Eddie bent over in hysterics.

“Who the fuck uses that setting?” Billy asked, rubbing his nose.

“You’d be surprised,” Eddie replied, wiping his eye.

“Go on,” Billy said to Harry.
