“What part of that conversation made you think that?” I muttered, getting to my feet. “I need to piss.”

She sighed but excused me, and I headed up to my room to use the bathroom, a little surprised to find Lukas waiting for me in my room when I was done.

“If you take it seriously, I honestly can help you,” he stated, eyeing me. “Just stop being a clown when you get embarrassed for not being able to do something.”

“I’m too old to be that stupid.”

“You’re not stupid, dude. You’re actually really smart when someone explains things to you differently and you focus,” he insisted.

“Easier said than done. It’s not like you can read exam questions out to me.”

“Hey, you said you felt confident about how finals went, so it obviously helped when you had a study buddy.”

“You’re not as pretty as Rory, but I guess you’ll do,” I joked, dropping an arm around his shoulders. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” he huffed, trying to shove my arm off, but I put him in a head lock.

“What are you doing?” Rory chuckled when she appeared in the doorway with Jensen, leaning against the frame to watch us.

“Reminding him who’s boss,” I grinned, letting him go. “Where’s D?”

“He had to head off. Skeet called,” she said with a shrug, but I could hear the hurt in her voice that Skeeter hadn’t stopped by to see her. It was honestly better if she avoided him a little longer.

Who knew how he’d react?

“So our sex party can begin?” I asked with a wink, a small smile tugging at her mouth.

“Who said anything about a sex party?”

“Uh, me. I know you got off in the past two months, but some of us missed out.”

“You probably jerked off seven times a day,” she deadpanned, and I scoffed.

“That might be true, but it’s not the same as having a body on top of you.”

She laughed, walking towards me and sliding her arms around my middle.

“We should rectify that for sure then. My poor baby.”

Lukas snorted, giving me an amused look. “You’ll survive.”

“Hey, you don’t get to weigh in on this. You got your cock sucked plenty from Jense,” I pointed out, and Rory held up her hands for time-out.

“No arguing,” she warned, but Lukas looked nervous about something as Jensen gave him an encouraging nod.

“Can we talk about something in private before bed?” he asked, making me frown.

“Is it about me?” I asked, and Jensen huffed.

“No. Luke just wants to talk about something personal.”

“Without me? Rude. I want to know secrets too,” I grumbled, not expecting Lukas to just come out with it in front of me.

“I fucked Jensen.”

“Jense is the bottom?” I said with surprise, earning a warning glare from Rory before she turned her attention to Lukas. He looked like he needed to throw up.

“That’s great, baby. Ignore Ty, he forgets to keep his thoughts in his head.”
