“Yeah,” I nodded.
“But I don’t want to live in a mansion. We’d never keep it clean and what happens if you really have to pee and the bathroom is far away? Or if Odie has a panic attack or I do or---”
“No one said we have to live in a mansion. Though, if we have three kids and they have three kids – all on the first try – we might need a mansion when they’re teenagers. We can’t expect to be as lucky as our parents were and have all of them get along like we do.”
“I thought you’d say something like your family will take care of it,” Ambry laughed.
“Well, they will or would if we let them. You can say no. I just think that having a nice home isn’t a sign that you’re a bad person. Your apartment is small for two people, but it’s really nice, mate.”
“That’s why we got it,” Ambry nodded. “I don’t know. I just… I know not every war was Clarence’s fault. I know outside of having wars here everyone is pretty much taken care of but I don’t want to forget where I come from. My dad is a hard worker and before you say it—”
“Manual labor is different. I know. We used to work on a farm, mate,” I chuckled. “Seriously, on a farm. Not that it matters. My grandparents have both been to war too. Hell, if you think it’s about money, I’ll give you a whole account to yourself and then if money means the power of choice, you have that power and whatever other power you want.”
“I don’t want your money. I don’t think you’ll use it to manipulate me because I won’t let you,” Ambry said.
My gaze drifted down to his lips again and I might’ve kissed him if he didn’t smell so Frost-damned frustrated.
“You really hate money, huh?” I asked, unsure of how to word it.
“I hate what some people with money do.”
“Tell me who’s going hungry, and I’ll feed them,” I offered.
“Isn’t Teal already doing that?”
“So, no one’s going hungry tonight that we know of? Can I have a kiss then?”
“Give me your car keys,” he said, holding out his hand.
“Um…. Are you afraid I’ll runaway if you don’t kiss me?” I laughed, my fingers itching to sink off the curve of his hip and grab his ass.
“No, I’m going to go down and grab another test. I can navigate the steps with my eyes closed and I thought you guys were going to murder yourselves getting that basket up here,” he said.
“They’re in my pocket,” I said, locking my gaze to his.
“We’re really going to play that way?” his expression turned serious.
“I thought we were playing that way but…” I started reaching for my keys, but he knocked my hand out of the way, laughing.
“Don’t mess with me like that,” I said, moving away and tickling his side. “Make me think I’m turning into a creep!”
“How do you think I feel? You’re trying to run away from me putting my hand in your pocket!” he laughed and tried again. The back of his hand brushed against my crotch and a smoke ring wafted out of my nose. I brushed it away before it reached him but while I was distracted his lips found mine. They were even softer than they looked. I might’ve melted into a pile of draconic molten metal when our tongues met but Ambry tried to slide his hand into my pocket while I was preoccupied. I caught his hand and held it to his chest as our tongues danced between our mouths. He rolled his hips rubbing his ass over my hard cock. I could’ve kissed him forever but he pulled away.
“Test.”
“Keys,” I pointed to my pocket and let him steal them this time. “Let me show you how they work, though. I don’t want a broken wing.”
“Tests are in the basket. Sorry got distracted. Car is back, though,”Teal said, sounding a little breathless over our link.
“Are you back with Crilus?”I asked.
“No. Had to make a run for it. Don’t worry. Alls well. Tests in basket.”
“There are tests in the basket according to my missing brother,” I told Ambry as he glanced around for where he’d left his shoes during the chaos of our arrival. He sprinted into the kitchen before I had a chance to catch up and reappeared a moment later holding two boxes up.
“Let’s get pricked,” I teased him.
“I didn’t say we were going that far tonight. It wouldn’t be the first time Odie walked in on someone dicking me down but I’d like to give him some warning and what about your brother?”
