I looked up at him, surprised that he’d asked. There’d been several other times throughout our four months together that I wasn’t even informed that he was gone until I went to find him. I always felt sad to be left out, but I knew he wasn’t used to letting anyone know where he was and if he was safe. “You want me to come with you?”
He cleared his throat. “Sure, if you want. I mean… Yes, Memphis, I’d like it if you went with me.”
I squeaked out a happy noise and threw my arms around him so tight that he grunted from the force. “I want to go!”
A very sleep Boone sat up and looked at us through bleary eyes. “Give me fifteen and I can be ready to go.”
Wells held up a hand. “I’ll need half an hour.”
Remy gently patted my ass, knowing it was sore from our earlier play. “You’ve got ten, both of you. Jake’s already waiting outside.”
“And me? I need to pack a few things.”
“It’s already taken care of.” He shrugged when I frowned at him. “I was hoping you’d ask to go soon.”
The words were on the tip of my tongue, the words that would either make what we were doing very real or that would blow it all up. I knew it wasn’t time. I just hugged him tight again and stood up. “I need something to wear for now, at least.”
He groaned. “I’m not so sure. Look at you, sweetheart.”
I rolled my eyes at him. “Yeah, that’s the problem. This baby is making me look all sorts of ways that I’m not ready to see.”
His arched eyebrows were a warning. “I know your ass is still sore, M. I’d hate to let you feel a true punishment for insulting yourself.”
I stepped out of his reach. “You don’t have time for that, Remy. You’re a busy, busy man. No rest for the wicked. All that jazz. Should we go?”
Wells sat up laughing. “Remember when Mom spanked you that one time, Remy? I don’t remember what you did, but she sat you down and gave you plenty of warning before she lost her cool and sent you to your room to wait for her. I could see her pacing outside of your room because she definitely didn’t want to spank you, but you’d been such a shit to her.”
A small smile lifted Remy’s mouth. “I drove my bike through her new flowerbeds. After she sat me down and got on to me, I was mad that she’d just assumed it was me, so I went stomping through them. The breaking point was when she saw me pick up a flower and bite its head off, Ozzy style.”
I gasped. “Remy! I want to spank you for that now and it’s been decades. How did she not murder you?”
Wells was laughing harder. “He turned into a fucking old school auctioneer. I’ve never heard him talk as fast since that day. I could hear him screaming from his room and mom trying not to laugh. It was a lot of rambling pleas and stumbling apologies. You just sounded a little like it.”
I hit him with a pillow. “Hey! We were picking on Remy. Keep it clean, Wells.”
He grabbed me around my waist and tugged me back into bed. “Never, Memphis. Never.”
52.
***Memphis***
“Dropmeoffatthe guesthouse, please. I need to grab something to wear that didn’t cost more than this car.” I patted Jake’s shoulder through the window and sank back into Wells’ lap. “I’ll change and then walk over so we can figure out how to pick the winning movie. And don’t say penis size again, Boone.”
“I’m just flaunting what life gave me, love.” He winked at me and stretched out. “I doubt I make it through a movie. If I’d known the quick trip was out of the country, I never would’ve agreed to go. I’m exhausted.”
Remy rolled his eyes. “I do that trip all the time. Don’t be a baby.”
“Don’t call me a baby, asshole.” Boone slapped Remy’s hand away. “I will get out of this car and have Jake kick your ass.”
I laughed and kissed Wells on the cheek as Jake parked in front of the little house. “Keep it together, boys. If you fight, I’m not letting you cuddle with me tonight.”
Remy opened the door for me and waited to help me out while I kissed Boone on the cheek. “I’d better get more than the cheek.”
I sank into his chest, giggling when my bump touched him first. “That’s going to get interesting.”
“Why don’t I stay and walk back with you?”
From inside the car both Wells and Boone shouted no. Boone slumped over to stare up at us. “No. If he goes in, he’ll do his best to keep you here, all to himself. We’re eating a snack and watching a movie before we go to bed together. So get in the car, Remy.”
