“You can’t sleep in the same room together anymore,” I say.
“Why not?” Ian asks as he sits up. I glance up at Ezra, and he subtly nods. I’ll let him take this one.
“Well, we’d be shit parents if we let you two fuck while we’re home,” he says, and I blink at him.
“That’s not it,” I hiss, and he shrugs. “Well, that’s kind of it.” I pinch between my eyes. “I know you’re going to find ways to mess around behind our backs, and that’s fine. It’s part of being a teenager. But—” I look at Ian, then shift my eyes to Enzo. “You’re not going to do it here, at least not while I’m home. I wouldn’t let a girl sleep in your room, and I’m not going to let a boy. Understand?” They both nod, their eyes still wide. “The door stays open when you’re in his room.” I point to Ian and Enzo nods. “One more thing. Enzo, you know I love you like you’re my own, but if you break my baby’s heart, Iwillfucking end you.” His eyes widen comically.
“Right,” he says, nodding. “Yeah. Right. Okay. I’m not going to do that.” I slide my hands in my back pockets as I lift my brows. “I won’t hurt him.”
“Mom,” Ian says, and I grin.
“Just messing with you,” I say, and Enzo’s shoulders slump. “But I’m serious. Don’t hurt him.” He nods and takes a deep breath, glancing at Ian.
“Can we go—”
“No, actually, I need to ask you something,” Ezra says, and I turn toward him. He’s staring at the boys, totally ignoring me. He crouches, resting his forearms on his knees as he flicks his eyes between Ian’s. “What do you think about finding a new place? Something that will fit us all?”
“Us?” Ian asks, glancing at me. I clench my jaw and tighten my hands into fists in my pockets. This was not what I meant when I said we’d discuss it.
“Well, I’d like to live with you,” Ezra says, eyeing him. “But this place is kind of small, so what if I found a new place? A house or a bigger apartment?” Ian glances at Enzo, and Ezra follows his stare. “We’ll find a place with an extra room for you.”
“Really?” Enzo breathes, his eyes widening. He looks shocked. “You’d–really?” He looks up at me, and the look on his face guts me. I sit on the edge of the couch and rest my hand on his shoulder.
“Of course,” I say softly. “Our home will always be your home.” Tears line his eyes, but he quickly blinks them away.
“Thanks, Ms. K,” he whispers, and I squeeze his shoulder. He pinches his eyes before looking at Ezra. “Thanks—Kiwi.” He hesitates on his road name and Ezra smiles.
“You can call me Ezra, if you want,” he says.
“That’s your real name?” Enzo asks, and Ez huffs out a laugh as he stands. “I was expecting something—”
“Cooler?” Ezra finishes for him and Enzo shrugs. “Sorry to disappoint, kid.” Enzo stammers, but Ez just laughs.
“He’s kidding,” I say, glaring at him, and he winks. “We have to go to the bar tonight. Are you two going to be fine here alone?”
“You’re going back to work already?” Ian asks, eyeing me.
“I need money.” I stand and move next to Ezra. He wraps his arm around me again, pulling me tightly to his side. “I don’t have time to cook anything, but I’ll leave you money for pizza or something.” The boys nod as they stand, and Rasputin jumps off the couch. “Remember what I said,” I point at them, “wrap it.”
“Oh my God!” Ian shouts. I laugh as he races past me toward his room. After the boys disappear down the hall—leaving the door open, like I said—I turn toward Ezra.
“You’re so mean to that poor kid,” he laughs, wrapping both arms around me. I rest my hands on his chest as I smile up at him.
“I’m his mom, I’m supposed to embarrass him.”
“If my mom would’ve ever told me to wrap it, I would’ve jumped off the nearest cliff.” I throw my head back and laugh. His lips meet mine in a gentle but firm kiss, and I slide my hands up his chest and around his neck.
“Maybe if she had, you wouldn’t be such a man-whore,” I tease.
“I doubt it,” he says, kissing me again. “It’s in my blood to be a whore.” He presses his lips to mine again, and the kiss quickly turns into something hot, and I pull away.
“Later,” I breathe. “We can have fun later.” He kisses me again and drifts his hands down my back to my ass. “Ez.”
“Fine,” he sighs, nipping at my lips. “Later.” He slaps my ass as I turn from him, and I glare at him over my shoulder. “If you keep giving me that look, I’m going to bend you over right now.” I grin and hurry down the hallway.

It’s been a few days since the sex talk with Ian and Enzo, and surprisingly, they’ve been following these new rules to a T. I never thought about what it would be like to watch my son fall in love, but it has made my heart happy to see him with his person.
