Rory
Alright, messaging you privately. I need the tea. The baby is pouting now.
(Casey. Not the actual baby.)
Casey
HEY!
I shake my head, utterly amused with the conversation. Sean turns around, plating the grilled cheeses and looking at us suspiciously. “What?”
I rat her out immediately. “She’s asking her brother- and sister-in-law about their threesomes and how to survive us.”
Sean’s mouth drops. “Is your brother in that chat?”
Lauren almost drops her phone. “Ew, no!”
I chortle. “For now. Aiden’s husband might add him just to save himself.”
“Pfft,” Lauren scoffs. “He’d never. He’s a golden retriever to his core.”
Taking my plate of grilled cheese, I move to sit on Lauren’s left while Sean sits on her right. “You told me you had another brother. You don’t talk about him much. Why?”
Immediately, Lauren sets down her phone, even as Rory’s name starts repeatedly flashing. She stares at the counter contemplating. “Yeah, Cole. He, uh…he kinda distanced himself from Aiden and I when our father died. I can’t blame him, though. He’s the youngest and literally all of his core memories are abuseorus being abused. He told us that he’ll be coming home in a year or so, I think. But I don’t know.”
Sean nods his head. “Where’s he at?”
“California’s his home, but he’s somewhere in the Middle East, currently.”
Sean’s brows scrunch together in confusion. I roll my eyes. “Hey,stepdaddy, you know we’re both military, right? Why else would he live somewhere with a base, but be in the Middle East?”
Understanding dawns…then he turns to me with that fuckingdadlook he gets when I have a smart mouth. I bite into my grilled cheese to hide my smirk.
Lauren continues. “Yeah. I miss him. Just hope hecomes home safe. He’s absolutely the most reckless out of all of us.”
That piques my interest. “What do you mean?”
She worries the top of her lip. “You know those TikTok accounts that are full of masked men and stuff? Yeah. I found his. But it’s darker than just thirst traps. It just worries me.”
Sean’s eyebrows fly up. “Alright, I’d join TikTok for that, actually.”
Lauren slaps his shoulder which forces a choked laugh out of me. “Careful now. You can’t have meandmy brother.”
Sean leans down to whisper in her ear, even though I can clearly hear. “I meant the thirst traps, jealous girl. My hands are going to be quite full with just you and this one over here.” His head juts towards me.
I break the ice with the question that I know has been plaguing all of us. “So, this is it, right? We’re a unit?”
Silence surrounds us for a second. Then Sean speaks first. “I want to be.”
“I do, too.”
Our gaze falls on Lauren. She looks at both of us, confused. “Why would I let both of you fuck my vagina at the same goddamn time if I didn’t want this? I’ll probably never be the same. It’s a miracle I don’t need a wheelchair right now.”
My mouth drops at that answer.
I thought she would have gone lovey-dovey. Not saythat.
