"I see you still haven't gotten that jealousy streak under control," Hemlock says, drawing my attention away from the smile on my woman's face to my boss.
"Still bitter about me flirting with Zara?" I challenge.
"Want me to lay you out in the middle of this fucking party?" he growls, and I just smile as I lift my glass of whiskey.
"Exactly," I say, laughing when he scowls even further. "We both have it fucking bad, huh?"
"I love every fucking minute of it," he confesses.
"Same," I add. "When are the new guys supposed to get here?"
We're having this little get-together as a welcome for the two new guys joining us.
It was the ladies' idea, of course. Most of us just wanted to keep our heads down and get to work the second we showed up at the cabin. Hell, I was in handcuffs the first time I saw the place.
I'm not so sure the men will be as receptive to a gathering. It would've made me feel like I was put on the spot or under a microscope in some way.
"Shouldn't be too long. Zayne was on his way from the airport a little over an hour ago. I didn't tell Zara because I didn't want to disappoint her, but Fury got caught up in something in DC, so he won't even be here until next week."
"Will we have to do this shit again?" I ask, waving my hand to indicate the gathering.
"Fuck, I hope not," he mutters, and I grunt my agreement.
There are a million other things I could be doing, namely pressing my cock inside Caitlyn, instead of waiting around for the newest member of Cerberus to grace us with his presence.
Just as I go to take a step away, the front doorbell chimes and it pulls every ounce of attention in the room.
Zara makes her way toward the door, but it opens before she can get to it. Hemlock growls, but the big man steps inside with a warm grin on his face.
"What the actual fuck?" Zeus snaps.
Zayne continues to grin even wider as his eyes land on the other man.
"Long time no see," Zayne says, his smile still in place despite the way Zeus is simmering across the room.
"You two know each other?" Hemlock asks, his eyes darting back and forth between the two men, and I can see him trying to calculate if this is a dangerous situation.
"No," Zeus growls at the same time Zayne speaks up.
"Frankie and I used to suck each other's dicks in high school."
Silence fills the room for a few beats.
"You're gay?" Lark asks, turning his attention to Zeus.
The man swallows, and I know without looking around that there is more than one mouth hanging open in surprise.
"I'm not gay," Zeus grinds out, his fists clenched like he's seconds away from beating the shit out of the newcomer.
"That's what he told me right before he joined the Marine Corps and disappeared."
