“I bet you blow,” Skeeter smirked, earning a punch to the arm from Tyler, who laughed before plonking down on the other couch heavily.

“Don’t be such a jackass. You know he only gets a boner for me, he’s just playing with you.”

“Kiss him then,” Skeeter dared bluntly, making me rub my temples.

Oh my fucking god, this was going nowhere.

I scowled, whisper yelling at them with annoyance.

“Shut the fuck up, you’ll make it worse for Lukas if she hears this shit after we literally just told her you guys don’t all get it on. Jesus fucking Christ.”

Caden sniggered, pulling me onto his lap so I could lay my legs over Jensen.

“Trust me, we only want to fuck you. Don’t get jealous, baby. No one gets me hard like you do.”

Josie wandered in with a bag of presents, pausing when she noticed the tense mood in the room.

“Everything okay?”

I mumbled a yes, but Caden glanced up at his mother with an innocent smile.

“Ah, Karen just caught me and Skeet messing around with Rory in the hallway. Now she thinks her son fucks us all, and she’s a bit upset.”

“I told you to be honest from the start,” she tsked, placing the presents on the table by the couch and kissing the top of my head, a warm, fuzzy sensation washing through me.

“Those are for you. I have to catch my flight, but I’ll be back in a few days. I hope you enjoy your night, sweetheart. Look after my baby boy.”

Caden groaned with embarrassment, but I smiled back at her, keeping my voice warm.

“I promise. Have a safe trip, don’t worry about us.”

Karen wandered in with a sour expression still plastered to her face, five minutes after Josie had left, and Lukas walked right passed her and sat beside Jensen.

She scowled before saying goodbye and left dramatically, making Jensen glance up at Lukas and wince.

“You okay?”

“She’s really upset. She thinks she needs to take me to church to confess my sins and all that bullshit,” he grumbled, but we could all tell he was hurt by her words.

Jensen looked to me desperately, not sure how to help, but Lukas surprised everyone as he placed his arm across Jensen’s stomach, resting his head on his shoulder with a sigh.

His voice was so soft we hardly heard him.

“She just doesn’t understand, she never does.”

Jensen hesitated, lifting his arm and putting it behind Lukas to rub his back for support.

“Give her some time. She had the traditional wedding and grandbabies already planned, so she’s going to be upset for a while. If it gets tense at home, you could just stay with me until it blows over. You’re usually there anyways.”

Tyler motioned towards them discreetly, and I gave him a scathing glare to keep his mouth shut in return.

I had no idea what was going on with them, but neither did Lukas or Jensen apparently.

It wasn’t a good idea to talk about it openly, or one of them were likely to flip their shit.

Tyler smirked but nodded, staying quiet for once in his fucking life.

Skeeter and Caden chatted about the party, and I didn’t realize Lukas had been staring at me until his hand started massaging my foot gently as it rested on Jensen’s lap still, drawing my attention to him.
