the other time happened.”
I bite my lower lip. “It’s about my past.”
She blinks twice. “Your past?”
“I’ll tell you all about it. Just not now.” I motion at the commotion in the lounge area. “Later, okay?”
She hugs me. “I love you and I’m always here for you whenever you’re ready.”
“Don’t make me cry, Kim.”
“We can cry together.”
I wrap my arms around her and we stay like that for long seconds.
“Ooh, is there room for one more?” Ronan’s voice cuts through the moment.
We pull apart to find Xander and Ronan watching us.
Xander is glaring — at Kim, not me.
Ronan is grinning like an idiot. “By all means, don’t stop on my account. Proceed, Mesdemoiselles.”
That gets him a slap upside the head from Xander.
“Ow, what was that for, fucker?” He’s about to attack Xander.
The latter ducks and heads to the refrigerator. He ignores the juice and pulls a beer.
“I knew Captain Levi keeps this place loaded.”
“That would be King,” Cole corrects, grabbing his own beer.
“So, Ellie,” Ronan wraps an arm around my shoulder and leads me to the lounge area where everyone is headed. “Remember my suggestion about a threesome the other time?”
I laugh. “I do.”
“I changed my mind about the participants and I came up with a brilliant plan. We’ll put sleeping powder shit in King’s water and get rid of him. Then, the threesome will be you, me, and Kimmy.” He waggles his eyebrows. “Genius, right?”
“You know Aiden will wake up at some point, right?”
“It’ll be worth it even if he kills me.” He stops. “Alors?”
“I don’t know.”
“Pff. I guess it’ll just be me and Kimmy then. Your loss, Ellie.”
“In your dreams, fucker.” Xander slams his shoulder into Ronan’s on his way inside.
“If you want to drug Aiden, it’d be more effective if you put the powder in an alcoholic drink.” When I raise my head, both Ronan and Xander watch me with curious expressions. “Just saying.”
“Have you ever seen King drink?” Xander flops on the sofa right beside Kim who visibly stiffens.
Right. Aiden doesn’t drink. “Why doesn’t he drink?”
“He thinks it’s beneath him,” Cole says from beside me.
“Which is cool since he’s an alien, anyway.” Ronan barges between Xander and Kim and wraps an arm around her shoulder. “Isn’t that right, Kimmy?”
She smiles, but it appears more from relief rather than agreement.
“How is he an alien?” I ask no one in particular, but I glance at Cole. For some reason, I want his read on Aiden.
“I thought you’d never ask!” Ronan jumps up on the coffee table. “For one, he was the last to lose his virginity amongst us. I was the first. Not to brag or anything. But he’s the second oldest, come on.”
“Who’s the oldest?” Kim scoots away from Xander and closer to the edge.
“That’d be me,” Cole says. “Then King, Knight, and Astor.”
“Buuut.” Ronan points a thumb at himself. “I lost my virginity first. Again, not bragging or anything, but they were all behind. I thought Aiden and Cole were gay until I saw their kinky shit.”
“Shut it, Astor.” Cole reprimands.
My interest peeks. “No, tell us. Why would you think they were gay?”
“First of all, they never had sex in front of us. Never tried to hook up with girls. They were sexually dead, I’m telling you. But their dicks looked good enough in the showers. Not as much as mine, but still.”
“You spied on them?” I ask, incredulous.
“Mais bien sûr. I needed to look out for my mates. I even told King to fuck a guy or two and see how it goes. I was cool as long as he has sex.”
I smile to myself. That must be why he sent him gay porn.
“Then I walked in on him in a threesome and changed my mind.”
My eyes bulge. “A threesome.”
“And not any threesome. It was a kinky as fuck threesome. The girl was tied, blindfolded and gagged.”
Wow.
Aiden never mentioned that. Not that I asked.
That green monster rears his head, but I try to ask in my most innocent tone. “And who was she?”
“Dunno. The room was blue and dark. She had this grey hair shit. I only saw the part where King was tying her. Ask Captain, he was the third party of the threesome.”
My attention snaps to Cole, not sure how to feel.
He stands beside me, his expression neutral.
Cole had a threesome with Aiden and another girl.
It eats at me not to know who she is.
“Shut up, Astor,” Cole says with more resignation than anger.
“What? I’m still hurt I didn’t participate.”
“You were high,” Xander points
