As we made our way through the confusing maze of rooms, we were nearly silent as we approached the kitchen but it wasn’t necessary. The naughty subs were so loud they wouldn’t have noticed a herd of elephants.

“This is the only way.” Austin was enunciating everything so clearly he had to already be well on his way to plastered.

“But only if you want to.” Wade’s voice was tense but he didn’t seem worried. “We can talk you into making bad decisions sober too. I promise.”

Quiet snickers filled the hallway outside the kitchen as Wade’s alpha just shook his head and smiled.

“I…I want to make bad decisions drunk. I promise.” Charlie’s earnest response was utterly insane and adorable. “What if it works, though?”

What were they planning?

“Then we’ll beamazing.” Austin seemed to think that should’ve been obvious. “And of course it will work because we’re amazing.”

His confidence was something to be admired and feared.

“You won’t…you won’t laugh at me?” Charlie sounded nervous but the fact that he was still using full sentences was a good thing.

None of the other alphas around me seemed to understand that judging by the glares I was getting.

Good grief.

Keeping my voice as low as I could, I returned the glares. “He can still talk and he’s not under the table. He’s fine.”

I was starting to see how so many of Charlie’s past dates had gone so badly.

“Austin knows him too well to miss the signs of a truly upset Charlie.” Even drunk. “He’s an adult and he’s very brave.”

Brave didn’t mean reckless, like they seemed to think…brave was pushing past fears…even ones about deliberately getting into trouble.

The grumbling stopped but that was because the curious logic in the kitchen continued.

“No, you’re going to be so cute.” Wade’s voice made me picture him petting Charlie’s head like he was a puppy.

“And you brought us markers. We can’t be mean after that.” Dakota’s logic was echoed by someone who had to be Jonah, judging by the way Graham and Russ rolled their eyes.

“But do you think this will work? What if…what if I need Daddy?” The way he nearly whispered the last part made me think they were talking about alcohol, not potions or cooking.

But the way alpha heads cocked in unison said the others were still confused.

“Then we’ll find him. Clothes on or not. We’re brave too.” Austin’s confidence was still at a frightening level but it made Charlie happy.

His pleased sound spilled out of the kitchen making the others around me grin even though they still didn’t seem to have any idea what was going on. “Alright, I’ll be brave.”

“You’re such a good boy.” Austin’s enthusiasm was accompanied by anumphsound from Charlie that sounded like he’d nearly been smothered by a hug.

“Austin, your boobies are…I can’t…”

Huh?

Now I was just as confused as the rest of them.

Austin had breasts?

“Sorry. I forgot how hard these are to work with.” Austin sounded slightly flustered but it was all too fascinating not to look to see what they were doing.

As I inched closer to the door, Simon put his hand on my shoulder and passed me something that looked like a kitchen tool or a BDSM one.

Oh.
