“Iam!”Lucas exclaimed.“But members come and go, we don’t meet up often enough, and it’s always a new nightclub.”
We were all sick of the clubs.
He deflated with a heavy sigh and poked at his stir-fry.“I’m sorry.I’ll shut up.I’ll be much happier if I just accept that I’ll be the last to fall in love, and I’ll probably still be working for my dad in twenty years.”
Wow.
“Jesus wept,” River muttered with his mouth full of food.
I coughed to suppress a stupid laugh.Lucas clearly needed us to be his friends, not to be dicks who poked fun.
Reese leaned forward and eyed the rest of us.“I don’t know about y’all, but this is my favorite pillow talk ever.”
Lucian did the coughing this time, whereas I failed and cracked up alongside River.
“Oh yeah, laugh at my misery!”Lucas glared.
“Oh, for fuck’s sake!”Reese groaned through a laugh and literally pounced on the pity party.He narrowly escaped getting stir-fry all over himself and covered Lucas’s body with his own.“You’re way too fuckin’ young to be this whiny.You have a good job, amazing friends who will fuck the daylights outta you, food on the table, family, and a fantastic little ass.Quit your mopin’.”
I grinned and shoveled more food into my mouth.
Excellent midnight entertainment.
“It doesn’t matter if I get lucky every day for the rest of my life,” Lucian said.“This will still be the most action my bed’s ever seen.”
I chuckled and glanced over at him.“Aren’t you glad I introduced you to these misfits?”
He smiled.“I am, actually.”

It was a fun night but maybe not the most restful one.The first time I woke up, wedged between River and Lucas, the latter was trying to keep quiet because Reese was blowing him.
I merely rolled over and threw a leg over River’s hip.
The next time, I threw a bleary glance at the alarm clock and saw it was almost four thirty.And two men were getting out of bed.
“Way too early,” I grumbled, face half buried in the pillow.
One of them—River, he leaned over and pressed a quick kiss to my cheek.“I sleep better in my own bed.Text me when you get back from Florida.”
“Mm,” I grunted.
The Tenleys walked out of the darkness and into the dimly lit hallway.
I had way more space now, ’cause Lucas and Lucian were a heap of body parts on the other side of the bed, so I spread out good and proper, and I fell asleep once more.

I yawned and rubbed at my eyes.
Did I know how to clear a bedroom or what?
I pushed myself up and squinted.
I was alone, at least in here, but I heard the telltale sounds of coffee being made.
My stomach growled too.
