Page 46 of Their Wicked Ways

Still out of it, I rolled over and into Wes’s embrace.

He let out a contented sigh and hugged me tight. I tucked my face under his chin and let out my own sigh when Ezra spooned me, keeping me between their bodies as he reached over me to rub Wes’s back.

“Just rest,” Ez whispered and kissed my shoulder. “I’ve got you boys.”

Wes mumbled something and hugged me tighter.

I relaxed between them.

Right now, I wanted to enjoy the intimacy of our embrace and ride out the last of the afterglow.

I could deal with the crushing reality that this couldn’t happen again later.

EZRA

Jesse:you guys home?

Ezra: I am but Wes is out rn

Jesse: want some company? I’m nearby

Ez: always

Jesse: be there in 10

I tucked my phone into my pocket and did a quick sweep of our living room. Wes had a habit of leaving little piles of stuff around the apartment, kind of like breadcrumbs.

Moving on autopilot, I quickly tidied up. More for something to do than a desire to clean. After ten years of friendship, Jesse knew exactly how we lived.

I was just tossing a sock in the hamper when there was a knock on the door.

“Hey.” I pulled it open and stepped aside to let Jesse in.

He held up a six-pack. “I come bearing gifts.”

I closed the door behind him. “You are a beautiful human.”

He smirked and shoved the six-pack at me, pulling one of the beers free. “I know.”

Leaving him to make himself comfortable, I put the spare beer in the fridge. Then grabbed a bag of chips and another of pretzels.

Bringing everything out to the living room, I put the snacks on the table and sank onto the couch.

“Where’s your better half?” Jesse popped the tab on his beer.

“He took Mom to the city to do some shopping.”

“Brave man.” Jesse chuckled. “How many quilting stores do you think she’s going to drag him to?”

“All of them.” I opened my beer. “She promised to take him to that ice cream shop he’s obsessed with as a bribe.”

“The Creamery.” Jesse snickered. “That was either the biggest naming fail or the best idea ever for viral marketing.”

“I’m going with viral marketing. They knew what they were doing when they named it.”

“How have you been? Haven’t seen much of you guys since you started working for my big bro.” Jesse sipped his beer. His body language was casual, but I could see the tension hidden under his careful demeanor.
