Sky was arranging her plate when she asked, “Auntie Brenna?”

“Yeah, babes?”

“Can I be a lesbinum too?”

In less than a second, glee spread on Brenna’s face.She wasn’t sure she wanted to look at JD, Greg was gobsmacked.

“You sure can, babes,” Brenna said.“I’ll show you all the best places to pick up chicks.”

“I don’t like boys,” Sky said, with all the innocence of a four-year-old.She was still arranging her food, opening her sandwich to line up the contents, as she always did before taking a bite.

“I don’t like boys either,” Brenna said.“I think it’s growing up with a brother that does it.Living with them sucks.”

“Yeah, Kye’s stinky,” Sky said and shoved her brother, who was oblivious to the discussion.

“I did not turn you into a lesbian,” JD said.“And stop recruiting my daughter.”

“Oh, come on,” Rylee said.“It wouldn’t be that bad if Sky was gay.At least you wouldn’t have to build a tower for her.”

“Are you kidding?I’d build it even higher,” JD said.“Women are relentless.”

Brenna settled back on the couch, holding the plate against her chest as she picked up crumbs with a fingertip.

“We are that, brother… But I have a feeling it would be your little princess doing the chasing.She knows what she wants.”

“She doesn’t know what a lesbian is,” JD said.True, though Sky didn’t know what heterosexual meant either, or, hopefully, anything about sex at all.“She’s repeating a word she heard… probably from you.”

“Probably,” Brenna said.“There’s no need to be quite so affronted about it.I remember you and me bonding over ogling plenty of hot women in our younger days, placing bets to see who’d get the furthest.”

“When we were kids, Bren.”

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t do with a woman that you probably haven’t done too, which reminds me…” Leaning forward, over her crossed legs, Brenna discarded her plate to focus her complete attention.“You never told me what this tongue thing was that you like, Ry.”

“Tongue thing?”Greg asked, finally returning to the moment.

Brenna glanced back at him.“Yeah, apparently Jame does this thing with his tongue on Rylee’s pussy that just drives her wild.”

“Okay,” JD said.“I guess I have to say it too: my children are in the room.”

“They don’t care,” Brenna said, looking from one of them to the other and then reaching into the bag beside the couch to pull out two pots of pudding.“Who likes chocolate?”

The kids bounced and grabbed for it.

She snagged the pots from Brenna to set them on the table.“After their sandwiches.”

Sky and Kye glanced back.

“Daddy’s not eating,” Kye said.

Setting her eyes on him, she and the kids waited until he took another bite of his sandwich.After that, the twins returned to their lunches.

“Will you tell me now?”Brenna asked when the kids were occupied.

“I didn’t think you were sleeping together yet,” Greg said, putting his empty plate on the table.“When did that start up again?”

“They’re not sleeping together now,” Brenna said, pausing to make eye contact.“Are you?”

“No,” she drawled like she was talking to one of the kids.
