“Three out of five.” Nico winks. “I’m sure the others won’t have any issues sharing.”
Caden’s video comes on. “What are we sharing? I like sharing.”
“Locations,” Jack says.
My phone pings and I accept his request. “You guys don’t care that I can see wherever you are?”
“I’ve got nothing to hide, little nympho.” Caden smirks. “Though we do have shit to discuss once Luke rolls in.”
It’s almost eight o’clock. My insides buzz. What if he can’t come? What if he’s hurt?
“What did you think of Ava?” Caden’s words capture my attention.
I smile. “I liked her. She seems nice. I don’t know if the school can handle another Ross.”
He smirks.
“Have your parents weighed in?” Jack’s brow furrows.
“They’re on their way home. They should be here around nine-thirty.” Caden glances at his phone. “They may not be open to talking tonight, but we should have a resolution by tomorrow night. Ava will stay home tomorrow unless they enroll her right away.”
“What about Tanner?” Nico asks.
Caden blows out a breath. “She knows how to deal with assholes and she’s not afraid to grab his junk and squeeze until he wishes she’d just tear it off.”
My mouth drops open. “But she seems sweet.”
Caden meets my eyes. “You seemed so innocent, little nympho.”
“I was innocent, War.”
“Innocent of body, but not of mind.” He rubs his fingers over his lips and a pulse of awareness shoots through me. “I love your dirty mind.”
“So, we’re back to webcams at night?” It’s better than nothing, but I like being held while I sleep.
“We’ll find time to play, don’t worry, kitten.” Eli’s dark eyes capture mine. We haven’t even begun to play.
My door opens and I lower my screen a little as I twist my head around. I swore I locked it.
Luke steps in and closes the door lightly behind him, locking it. My pulse quickens. He’s fine. And he’s here.
He slides out my desk chair and lifts me. I squeeze my knees tighter to my chest before he lowers me down onto his lap. His breath makes my hair tickle my neck. I release my legs and lower them to either side of his. His arm wraps around my waist to hold me close.
“What did I miss?” Luke rests his chin against my shoulder.
“Are you okay?” I ask.
“I’m good,” he whispers against my ear.
Shivers course through me. “Did my mom see you?”
“Probably on the video if she’s watching.” Luke brushes his stubbly cheek against my neck.
I reach behind me to rub my hand against his jaw. They’re all here. Not like on Friday or Saturday night, but they’re all with me.
“We have a few things we need to discuss.” Eli clears his throat.
I relax against Luke and give the guys my attention.
