“Ew! Oh, my god. Dad!” Kendall let out a sound that was half shriek, half gag. “This family is so weird!”
“Wait. You kissed our dad, too! We saw!” Avery looked between his dad and uncle. “Are you kissing everyone?”
“You kissed Uncle Collin, too? Really?” Kendall put her hands on her hips. “I thought you liked my dad.”
“She kissed me, too.” Jud laughed when I glared up at him. He’d been walking a cranky Milo up and down the beach and had come back at the perfect time to jump on the crazy train. “What? It’s true.”
Beck had come out of the water and stood just behind Kendall. “What’s going on?”
“Ada kissed everyone!” Alex giggled. “Well, not us. We’re saving our first kiss for Leanne.”
Collin held up his hands. “Who the hell is Leanne?”
“What’s going on here? I just keep hearing the word kissing a lot.” Dad chose the perfect time to join us. “Did you guys overhear me and Mandy? I’m sorry, everyone.”
“No! No, Dad! No one overheard anything and that’s not what this is about!” I stood up and dusted sand off my legs. “Maybe we just can this conversation for now?”
“No, I want to know. Are you with my dad or with one of my uncles?”
I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. “Yes?”
“She’s with all of us, Kendall. Now hold on a second while I find out who Leanne is.” Collin zeroed in on his twins. “Who’s Leanne?”
“How can you be with all of them?” Beck voicing her questions didn’t help anything, but she was asking the question on Kendall’s mind.
“We’re trying it out. We like each other and we’re-” I hesitated and held up my hands. “I don’t know.”
“Leanne is Mom’s friend’s daughter. We met her at Christmas. When we’re ready to kiss, we all decided to do it together. It’s not a big deal.” Avery shrugged.
“You see, kids, sexuality and preferences are-”
I whistled high and long to cut Dad off and shut everyone else up. “Yes, I am kissing all three of the Carrington brothers! It doesn’t change anything else, especially not how much I care about you kids. I’m sorry if it freaks you out, Kenny. I wasn’t exactly planning on talking about this today, but here it is. I care about your dad and uncles.”
She crossed her arms over her chest and frowned deeper. “I’ve seen the stories about them. They never date. They just sleep with women and leave them.”
Joe let out a shocked grunt. “What the hell?”
“If you’re going to make Ada leave, I don’t think she should be with you.” Kendall looked back at me. “I don’t want you to leave.”
I practically pushed Joe out of the way to hug her. I stroked the back of her hair and then pulled back so I could see her face and she could see mine and understand how serious I was. “I’m not going anywhere, Kenny. I love you kids too much to let your grumpy dads run me off. Okay?”
“Promise?”
I linked my pinky with hers and nodded. “Promise.”
She hugged me again and sighed. “Love you, too.”
Before I could respond, she grabbed Beck’s hand and ran back into the water. I spun around to the guys and Dad. “Did you hear that? She loves me!”
Dad patted his stomach as he grinned at me. “Of course, she loves you, Ada. Everyone loves you. Now I have a hankering for some of David’s lasagna. I worked up quite the appetite.”
I made a face and shuddered. “Dad…”
“What?” He looked at the guys. “What’d I say?”
“You decided to both kiss Leanne?” Collin sighed. “I should’ve stayed at work.”
I hugged his arm into my chest and rested my forehead on his shoulder. “I don’t know what just happened.”
