“I’m so glad it’s over, but now I need to find a job.”

“You don’t need to rush,” Cash says. “We can take care of you until you find something you love.”

Ben stares lovingly at Cash, touching his face tenderly. Cash leans into it like the softie he is. “I know. But I don’t want to be a leech. I don’t want you to feel like I’m taking advantage of you.”

“You’re never a leech,” I pipe up, and Ben squirms on Cash’s lap. He probably wants to sit on both of us, but there aren’t chairs here that would fit the three of us. So Ben just has to move from lap to lap.

He doesn’t have to do that at our place though. We have a bench at my place. I built it. Fits the three of us perfectly.

“Now that Ben moved in with us, what are you gonna do with the garage apartment?” Cash asks.

Dean flips the burgers. “Probably use it as Avery’s art studio.”

Avery smiles widely. “I can do nudes up there. Of your dad.”

Ben huffs, and I laugh.

“Avery,” Dean says, blushing. “Jesus.”

“What? It’s hot.”

Just as he says it, Lex appears with William, his fiancé, and Norma, Vikki, and Martha.

“What’s hot?” Norma asks as she moves toward a chair and sits down. “Is this a sex thing? Because I’ve been around the block. I know a thing or two about setting fire in the bedroom.”

“She does,” Martha says as she walks over to the cooler and pulls out a Capri Sun. “God, I love these things. Gets my blood sugar really high.”

Lex huffs, pulling it from her hands. “Not today, Satan. Behave.”

Martha glowers at him. “Give me my sugar or I will condemn you.”

Lex looks like he’s about to lose his shit, but William comes over and presses a hand to his chest, instantly calming him.

He whispers something to Lex, and I watch as Lex hands Martha the drink with a sigh.

“One, Martha, and I mean it. No more sneaking them in your bra.”

She beams and then ambles back to the porch, nearly tripping up the stairs before Dean grabs her and leads her to a seat. Lex is back to nearly having a stroke over them as Avery sets out a few appetizers. The ladies obliterate all the food in minutes, and I cackle at the way Lex glowers.

“They’re going to be the death of me, William. I already have gray hair,” Lex hisses behind me.

“They’ll be fine. You worry too much.”

He huffs and the two of them make their way inside to help Avery. Norma leans over to me and waggles her eyebrows. “So, how is it being with two other men at the same time?”

I slurp on my soda and waggle my eyebrows back at her.

“So hot. The positions are endless.”

She hoots and slaps at her knee, looking delighted.

I lean back and watch as Ben feeds Cash some potato salad off a fork, his eyes catching on mine. Fuck, he’s hot, so fucking perfect for us.

“You’re next,” he mouths, and I smirk at him. He can feed me all fucking day if he wants to. I won’t stop him.

I’m a lucky fucking man.
