Laughing, I brushed my hand along his backside. I didn’t think he had on underwear since soon my hand grazed along the hard base of the butt plug he was wearing. “What type ofskillswas Mav really going over with you?”
Brooks blushed. “Stop embarrassing the boy, Skye,” Maverick chimed in. “You’re just jealous it’s not you.”
True enough.
Soon, we were all sitting down with the tablet propped up in the middle of the table so we could see Diego and Wes. Since it was only lunchtime there, they were eating sandwiches.
Brooks served us all, which was honestly kind of nice, even if it was unexpected, then we all sat down to eat.
Mav’s supervision had done wonders because the food was awesome.
“You need to cook more at home,” I told him. “Don’t get me wrong, chef is great, but there’s something special about your man cooking for you.”
Maverick was pleased even if he tried to act like he wasn’t. “I don’t see you volunteering.”
“Fuck no. I like our house. I’m not burning it to the ground.”
“Considering it’s been in my family for a hundred years, I appreciate it,” Luca drily answered.
The rest of dinner was light, all of us laughing and chatting and just catching up. It was nice and so sorely needed. We were all on edge. The longer this went on, the more restless we were all becoming. I thought we knew there was this anvil over our heads and it was bound to drop eventually, but there was nothing we could do but literally wait for it to happen.
Not to mention, Wes was having his own issues at home. Someone was stalking Dakota and, by extension, Jay. From the little bit of conversation I’d heard Wes having with Luca, I could tell he was stressed about that situation. I wished we could help more. Diego and Wes were already overloaded, but there was very little we could do from a different country.
None of that came up during dinner. It was just family time. We continued to good-naturedly rib Luca for being MIA and he took it like a champ. Diego told a couple embarrassing stories about Brooks when he’d been a kid. I even shared an MMA story or two. It wasn’t a time that I talked about a lot. Not because I hadn’t loved my career, but it had ended so suddenly, with a blow to my head that had landed me in the hospital. I’d in shock and hadn’t taken it well. If it hadn’t been for Luca andMaverick showing up and recruiting me into Il Fortunato, who knew where I’d be. They’d saved my life.
Anyway, we all chatted for well over an hour, but eventually Wes and Diego hung up, and I could tell Luca was getting antsy to go check his emails or whatever it was he needed to do. It was the perfect time to bring up my idea.
“Sooo, I’ve been thinking . . .”
“Oh no,” Maverick deadpanned. I didn’t even bother giving him a dirty look.
“We should have a hunt.”
The two Doms froze, the atmosphere changing immediately. Brooks glanced between us all, seeming confused.
“A hunt? Like bears?”
That ended the tension immediately as we all started cracking up. “I don’t think any bears are on the menu, brat,” Maverick chimed in. “But there’s a tatted, mouthy, subby boy who I bet would taste delicious.”
It clicked then and Brooks basically jumped out of his seat. “Oooh? Like a primal hunt?” I nodded at him to let him know he was right. “Yes! Can we, please?”
He looked toward Luca and then Mav and then back again, because he knew it would be up to them in the end.
“Do you think this is the right time for it?” Of course that was Luca.
I opened my mouth, but Mav chimed in first, “I don’t see why not. You said yourself we’re just sitting on our asses over here. We’re all getting antsy. We could use it to let out some of our aggression. Then, when we do finally get to real work, our heads will be on straight.”
Luca tilted his head, considering, but I could already tell he liked the idea. He needed it as badly as we did.
“Not tonight. Mav and I have been drinking. But tomorrow. That’ll give us time to plan and Skye a chance to prepare Brooks on what to expect.”
“Fuck yes!” I jumped up and scooped Brooks out of his chair, planting a wet kiss right on his lips.
“Get ready, sunshine. Because out there, we’re not on the same side, and I’d love to be buried in that thick ass of yours.” Brooks shook slightly, his eyes glazed over.
“I can’t wait for you to try.”
