“Wingman, you,” Iris repeated. “You know… help you get laid?”
He blinked again, trying to decide if he should feel insulted or not.
“You think I need help getting laid?” Insulted. He was definitely feeling a little insulted.
“You know,” Rae interrupted from the back before any of her friends could answer, “I’m starting to think you all just wanted to live vicariously through someone who was looking for a hookup and not that you actually wanted to help me out at all.”
“Hey!” Domi rounded on Rae, putting her hands on her hips and scowling, her curls bouncing around her face as she scowled. She looked like an annoyed fairy. “We just want to help everyone get laid. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“I don’t need any help getting laid.” Brian avoided his friends’ gaze as all of them looked at him with curious eyes. “Just because I don’t talk about getting laid doesn’t mean I need help getting laid.”
And that was way too many times saying ‘getting laid’ in a row, but… well, he was flustered. He and Rae were trying to avoid their friends’ attention to their sex lives this week, not have them actively involved in it.
“So, you have a mystery lover, too?” Iris asked, narrowing her eyes at him.
Too.
Brian’s gaze darted to Rae, then back to Iris.
“Too?” he echoed, prodding for more information. Hopefully, the little glance at Rae wouldn’t be too revealing. She was the only other single in the group, so it should be natural that he’d look at her when Iris mentioned having a mystery lover, right? It wasn’t like he’d suspect any of the other women, who were all in committed relationships, might have a mystery lover.
Iris looked back and forth between him and Rae, which made his pulse race a little when Avery answered him.
“We wanted to wingman Rae, but apparently, she doesn’t need us.” Avery shrugged one shoulder.
Brian raised his eyebrow, looking at Rae again with curiosity. He really wanted to know what she’d told them.
His reaction seemed to satisfy Iris’ suspicions because she was no longer looking back and forth between him and Rae the way she had been a moment ago.
Phew.
“She’s got a mystery lover,” Domi teased, nudging Rae in her side.
Rae rolled her eyes.
“Apparently, Brian does, too,” Mitch said, looking at him curiously.
“I don’t have a lover. I just don’t need help getting laid.” Brian shook his head. It was time for a tactical retreat. He looked at his friends, raising his eyebrows in sympathy. “Maybe you all need some help, though, if your subs are so dissatisfied with their sex lives that they’re trying to direct mine.”
“Hey!” Domi put her hands on her hips, standing straight up as Iris made an aggrieved sound of protest, and Avery’s mouth dropped open in shock. All of his friends looked a bit struck by the comment as well, suddenly eyeing their submissives as if questioning how well the past few nights had actually gone.
“I’ll leave you to it,” he said, giving the guys a salute over the ladies’ heads, spinning on his heel, and walking away. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Kincaid and Zach cracking up, laughing at the turmoil he’d just caused with his verbal bomb.
It was nice to see the two of them laughing together like that, and Brian grinned as he sauntered away. He figured he’d do a loop or two of the Dungeon, then go find Rae. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Of course, he was not thrilled when he found her.
She was talking to a very muscled, very tall, masked Dom. At least, he assumed the man was a Dom from the way he was holding himself as he talked to Rae, not quite looming over her but standing far too close for Brian’s liking.
He worked his jaw, unclenching the suddenly tight muscle. He knew there was no actual masked mystery lover just because one had appeared now. Walking around to the opposite side of the scene she was next to—though she was talking to the mystery Dom more than she was watching the scene—Brian managed to catch her eye.
Flashing him a smile, she turned back to the Dom and said something.
To Brian’s surprise, the Dom nodded and offered her his arm, and they started walking off. Together.
What the fuck?
Gritting his teeth, he began to make his way around the scene to follow them. There was no way he was going to let that go.
