“Lex, have you ever had naked sleepovers with your best friends?” I asked, locking eyes with him.

He shifted uncomfortably, the corners of his mouth twitching. “Well, Emery’s my best friend, so…sort of, yeah.”

“Case in point,” I said, rolling my eyes. “This is what we’re doing.”

River put his arms around my waist, anchoring me. After the conversation we’d had last night, I knew he’d be understandably concerned, but I was tired of hiding.

If I couldn’t be myself with my brothers, who could I be honest with?

“Told you so,” Noah said, turning to Lex.

“You did not.”

“You said you saw them kissing when you were fourteen. How are you surprised by this?”

“You saw it?” I asked in shock. “Why didn’t you say anything?”

Lex shrugged. “I figured you’d tell me eventually, and when you didn’t, I thought it was just an experimentation that didn’t mean anything.” He chuckled. “We all experimented, right?”

“Some more than others,” Noah, the resident sexual prodigy, said.

I turned to River. “I’m sorry our first kiss…wasn’t our first kiss…”

River brought his hand up to my face and ran his thumb over my cheek. My eyes fluttered closed before I opened them again to gaze into his green depths. “No, baby. Our first kiss wasmyfirst kiss. Your first kiss with me was definitely not that kiss when we were fourteen.”

“How does that work?” I chuckled.

“You know that feeling you got when we kissed? I got that all those years ago. It’s just that you took a little longer to catch up. It’s okay. Your skill has improved a lot since then.”

“Oh yeah?” I smiled, my gaze moving back to his soft lips and the short beard that framed his face perfectly.

A cough reminded me we weren’t alone.

Crap.

“Hey,” I whispered. “How legal is it to kill your siblings?”

“Not legal at all.”

I turned back to my brothers and Emery.

“Any chance you guys can fuck off so we can get dressed?”

The three of them crossed their arms and stayed put.

“What will it take for you fuckers to get out of the room?” I asked in exasperation before they started making kissy noises.

I turned to River, who winked at me before pressing his mouth against mine in the dirtiest kiss to top all dirty kisses.

My brain fully stopped when all my blood rushed to my cock.

I didn’t know at what point they all left the room, but I hoped it was before I straddled River, taking the covers with me.

“Hmm, fuck, baby, I only wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine, not a show,” he said into my lips as I chased his for another kiss.

“Then you shouldn’t have kissed me like that. You know your mouth makes me stupid.”

He chuckled. “It’s not on purpose.”
