“Whatever,” he mumbled, walking out of the room before Jared could see the hurt in his eyes. Sometimes, he hated his best friend.

Making his way down the corridor, he skipped over Isaac’s room, knowing that the boy already had plans and continued on to Levi’s.

He stopped in front of Levi’s room and gave a hard knock on the door.

A second later, the door flew open.

“Jesus! You knock like a gorilla!” Levi hissed, sending daggers through his eyes.

Diesel smirked. Yes, he was an asshole.

“Whatcha doin’? Wanna play somePlayStation?”

Levi opened the door the rest of the way, revealing a half-naked Chase lying in bed, the sheets loosely clinging to his body.

“Sorry. We’re having sexy times.”

Of course they were. When weren’t Levi and Chase fucking like bunnies? Ever since the two laid eyes on each other, their clothing of choice was lube.

“Hey, Diesel,” Chase called from the bed, giving him awhat’s uphead nod.

Okay, this was getting sad.

“Whatever,” Diesel huffed out before turning and heading down the stairs, rejected once again.

Was everyone in this place fucking today?

Walking through the kitchen, he grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and made his way outside. Perhaps Teo wanted to hang out and do something?

Biting into his apple, he stopped in his tracks when he saw Teo doing some weird-ass triangle pose on a yoga mat outside.

Fuck that nonsense, he thought to himself. He wasn’t that bored.

Pivoting, he decided to check on Daddy M and see what the big guy was up to.

When he reached Matteo’s office, the door was open, and two sets of voices were having a heated discussion. Not wanting tointerrupt Daddy M and Daddy A, Diesel waited just outside the door and listened.

“Whoever told you that you were a master with a hammer was clearly lying to your face,” Matteo hissed.

Point one for Daddy M.

“I’m surprised you even know what a hammer is, your Royal Highness,” Ares responded.

Ouch! Daddy A with the return!

“I know a lot of things; I just dumb things down so you don’t get lost when I speak.”

Diesel let out a chuckle.

Both voices went silent.

“Show yourself,” Matteo snarled in that pissed-off daddy voice of his.

Shit.He was busted.

Diesel took a breath, then entered the dragon’s den.

“What?” Matteo asked, looking ten shades of pissed off.
