“So, who are you boning?”

I glared in Daire’s direction, and he shrugged.

“What? I don’t give a fuck either way. But the sooner you tell us, the sooner these gossipy bitches will let us get back to the game.”

My heart raced as I contemplated confessing everything: the truth about me, about Serena, about who I’d been with and where last night. Was I really going to do this? What other choice did I have? I’d fumbled the ball big time, and it was time to come clean—and these guys, they knew how to keep a secret. Especially for one of our own.

“Comeon, Preston.” West strolled over and slung an arm around my shoulders. “Tell us.”

I swallowed around the lump in my throat, lifting my eyes to where Travis stood behind the group chewing on one of the little black straws. When his gaze dropped to my neck, the straw fell from his lips.

What was he looking at?

“The fuck is that on your neck?” Daire said.

My neck? Oh fuck…my neck.A flash of Archer sucking on it had me pulling away from West and straightening my shirt.

“You been frolicking with vampires?” East commented, helpful as ever.

“What?” West reached for the collar of my shirt and pulled it aside. “Jesus, man, who the hell made a mark like that?”

I shoved West off me. “None of your damn business.”

“Come on, it can’t be that bad. It’s not like you’re fucking one of our parents.”

I tensed. West’s words were so close to the truth that I could hardly believe my ears, and before I could tell myself to calm down, his eyes widened.

“Holy shit.Areyou fucking one of our parents?”

Shit.This was not going well.

East’s deviant chuckle filled the room as he drained his martini dry. “This just gets better and better.”

“How do you figure?” West demanded.

“My mother is out of town. He couldn’t have been banging her last night.”

“East.” Gavin shook his head. “Do you have no common decency? That’s your mother you’re talking about.”

“Who was tucked safely into her own bed, in her own suite, in Milan. She doesn’t even let my father spend the night in the same room unless he has an appointment. She’s hardly going to make time for the likes of Preston.” East arched a brow in my direction. “No offense.”

“Uh, none taken?”

West whirled on me, pointing a finger in my face. “You better not be putting your dick anywhere near my mo?—”

“It’s Mr. Carrington.”

The room plunged into complete and utter silence. So much so, I could’ve sworn I’d be able to pick out the different heartbeats pumping in the room.

Fuck. Did I really just say that?

West’s mouth was still hanging open mid-sentence. He blinked at me and said, “Mr. Carrington…”

“A man?” That was Donovan.

I turned to him and Gavin and nodded.

“Serena’s…dad,” Gavin said, and again, I nodded.
