The Confession

His brother abruptly shut up. The gaping panic on his face said he was struggling to recover.

“Pussy?” Seth supplied helpfully, his smile acidic.

“I-I was going to say dates, but…”

Seth stood, brow raised. “You meant pussy.”

“Hell, yes!” Dean bolted from his chair.

River looked far less enthusiastic. “I don’t know. I’m not sure your shoulder has healed up enough for us to—”

“I don’t need my shoulder to fuck. My dick works just fine,” Dean assured.

“But I’m still not sure we should—”

“Come on,” Dean cajoled. “You’ve been out of the saddle for weeks now. It’s time you stop letting Jasmine mess with your head. She doesn’t own you. So let’s get back on the horse. We could both use a long, hot ride.”

Had River actually gone celibate since taking Jasmine’s virginity? That was a first. Did the poor bastard have any idea yet that he was fucked?

“Come on, man,” Dean pressed. “You can’t give up your sex life for some chick who’s avoiding you.”

River sighed. “Fine. Let’s go.”

“Yeah!” Jack cheered. “Time to party!”

“Have fun.” Seth chuckled. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t enjoy.”

“We’re kinky, but we’re not that kinky,” River muttered just loudly enough for Seth.

“I’m calling bullshit,” he returned as River fell in with the rest of the manwhore parade.

Shaking his head, Seth sauntered back to Heavenly, still sitting at their table, and stared at the inviting bowl of peach cobbler and ice cream she’d dished for him. “You’re trying to make me fat, angel.”

She shook her head. “I’m making sure you have enough energy.”

“For what?”

“Anything you want,” she said in a breathy whisper that threatened to undo him.

“Anything?” Seth filled his spoon with whipped cream. “Then I say we take this with us so Beck and I can do a little repeat of last night, spread this all over your body, then spend hours licking it off…”

Her breath caught. “I wouldn’t protest.”

Seth leaned in and skimmed his lips up her neck, to her ear. “You’re a naughty little angel, aren’t you?”

“Maybe.”

“Maybe what?” Beck asked, suddenly sliding onto the chair beside her and wrapping his arm around her.

“You made it!” She bounced into his embrace, so obviously happy. Then she jerked back, scanning the partygoers.

“You’re safe,” Seth promised. “The twins are long gone.”

“Thank goodness.” She planted a welcoming kiss on Beck’s mouth.

“So…are you going to let us make dessert of you again tonight?” Seth muttered hotly in her ear.

“Say yes,” Beck breathed over Heavenly’s pouty lips. “I’ll show you just how sorry I am that I was late…”
