Mason nodded.

“Neither can I,” Gray said.

Jack just laughed. “It’s not his scene but he indulged me. It was raining when we got there.”

Gray raised a brow. “Raining? It was a fucking torrent. You’d have thought a hurricane was coming in.”

“But I insisted on going out after a day of being stuck in the hotel,” Jack said.

Gray thought back to that day. Now it was funny, but it had been terrifying. “The road flooded right in front of us. I got out to scout ahead and see if we could make it to the next turnoff. Then a fucking alligator came out of nowhere.”

“A what?” Mason’s eyes went wide, and he made a strangled sound like he was holding back a laugh.

Jack didn’t hold back his laughter. “He was a big fucker.”

“Tell me you wrestled it, tossed it back into the swamp, and then fucked Jack right there.” Mason looked so eager for that to be true.

Mason’s comment made Jack laugh so hard tears rolled down his face. “That would have been fucking perfect, but he ran like hell.”

“You’re asking for another spanking.”

“Yeah, whatever,” Jack said.

Gray would get his revenge. “You just wait.”

Mason whistled. “Somebody’s in trouble.”

Gray looked at him and tried to ignore Jack, who still hadn’t settled down. “I did what any reasonable person would do. I walked to the car, got back in, and backed up until we couldn’t see him anymore. Then I got the hell back to the hotel, checked out, and drove home.”

“Actually, we drove to Savannah and had a lovely time there,” Jack said.

“See?” Gray said. “My vacations don’t go well.”

“That was one incident,” Jack said.

“And it was all your fault. You can start making this up to me by making some caramel popcorn. Just thinking about it makes me want some.”

“You ate half a pan of lasagna,” Jack reminded him.

“That was hours ago.”

Jack glared at him.

“The cabins are amazing. We’ll have a lovely time. Now surely I’ve earned the rest of Rush Hour 3 with some popcorn.”

“You want a reward for agreeing to rent a cabin?” Jack did a good job of looking incredulous.

“I think that sounds fair,” Mason said.

Jack glared at him. “You just want some popcorn for yourself.”

“Hell, yeah.”

“I had a really sucky morning,” Gray pointed out.

“Yeah, you did,” Jack said. “Fine, you win.”

Mason moved behind Gray and massaged his shoulders. Gray closed his eyes and let himself enjoy it. Mason’s hands were like magic. “You really should’ve gone to massage school.”
