Something about his demeanor said he had a troubled background, but he was one of the only private enough people in the building that I didn’t know much about his life.

The bed gave Cashel just enough height on me that he had to lean down to give me a kiss as he continued to nuzzle my hand. “He’s always…he’s very…”

“Jude.” My answer got another smile from him.

“Yeah.” Taking a deep breath, Cashel looked toward the doorway and smiled as Gareth’s voice escaped the bathroom as he sang one of the recent pop hits. “He’s going to be really glad he missed this.”

I wasn’t sure about that, but the way he was working his way through top hits of the past twenty years said he wasn’t rushing out of the bathroom.

“He seems to like the shower even if he doesn’t get to come.” My teasing response got a blush from Cashel, but it also seemed to give him a boost of confidence because he sat straighter. “You ready to go show Jude that I haven’t abducted you?”

“Proof of life.” He couldn’t seem to decide if he found it funny or not and finally just nodded. “Yeah.”

As I rose, I held out my hand and smiled as he took it. “Come on, cutie. Let’s get this over with and then we’ll have breakfast.”

Judging from how long Gareth had been in the shower, he should be almost done.

Orgasmless showers could only take so long, even when we had a budding pop star in the making.

“Breakfast smells really good.” The easier topic finally made Cashel smile. “I bet they look very fancy.”

“Good enough to impress Brady’s mom if we need a bribe. So don’t worry.” The subtle reminder about my threat had his eyes brightening…but that only lasted until we got to the living room.

He didn’t seem to know what to do with Jude because he just stood there staring at the grumpy Dom who I thought looked relieved to see Cashel in one piece. “See, safe and sound.”

As Gareth hit the chorus, I smiled and nodded toward the back of the apartment. “Gareth’s in the shower. I’m not sure dragging him out is necessary?”

Instead of answering me, Jude focused on Cashel. “Are you okay? Brady was worried.”

I was pretty sure Brady hadn’t been the only one, but that didn’t seem to have occurred to Cashel.

“Yes.” His simple answer seemed to make Jude insane. But aside from a deep breath, the strange Daddy managed not to say anything rude as I stepped up behind Cashel and just smiled at the lunatic.

After a few seconds, he realized that wasn’t going to be enough for Jude. Leaning back into my touch, Cashel swallowed and nodded at whatever he was thinking. “We’ve been getting to know Bates and he’s been really helpful. Gareth’s getting his questions answered and…and I’ve found a few new questions, but we’re fine.”

Aww.

Kissing the back of his head, I squeezed his shoulder. “I’m glad you’re figuring out some new questions.”

It meant his brain was finally catching up to his dick.

That was definitely progress.

“We’ll just keep taking things one step at a time, though.” I wasn’t going to just basically let my boys move in after a long Christmas break.

It’d take a few more weeks than that no matter how cute they looked when they showed up in pajamas.

“Yes, Sir.” Cashel went very still as the word he hadn’t meant to say after yes escaped.

For once, Jude managed not to look like the live-action version of thunder. “Brady will be very happy that you’re figuring things out, but…but just remember what his mom said about finding the right person. Because I’ll help Brady bury his body ifBatesisn’t nice to you.”

Somehow he managed to make my name sound like fucker or dickhead…it was impressive.

Cashel had no idea what to say to any of it but he managed a nod as he gathered his wits. “Thank you, but I don’t think that will be necessary.”

He was so cute and had such good manners.

Polite was so sexy.
