“Of course not.” Cali had slipped into her work voice. The carefree girl was gone. “No One is saying that. Avery was just messing about weren’t you?” She didn’t let Avery finish though. “Come on girls, let’s go and dance and let the guys drink.”

“What do you think Avery meant by….?”
Ruin froze, the whiskey glass resting on his lips. “She doesn’t mean anything. She’s been under a lot of strain and.” He shook his head. “She’s just under a lot of pressure right now. It’s been tough.”
There was something he wasn’t telling me. I could see it in his eyes.
Everyone had damn secrets.
“Is everyone ok between you two?” I kept my voice low, no one else around the table needed to know if Ruin was having issues at home. I was a big believer that a man’s family life was his own personal business. But that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to ask why my friend had a face like a slapped ass on tonight of all nights.
Surely he should have been making the most of what was the one Nights a year a man was almost guaranteed to get laid.
He shrugged, emptying the glass into his mouth. “She’s living in my house.”
I nodded. I already knew that. He had offered Avery and her son Parker the use of his house not long after he saved her from her crazy ass ex-husband.
“Yeah, I know brother.”
“She still won’t let me move in. I mean I am there every single day. We share a bed almost every night. But as soon as I mention moving my stuff back in she freezes. It’s like she enjoys having me around but wants to maintain her freedom.”
“You want her…. like for good?”
He shot me a look like I was asking a stupid question. “Of course I fucking want her you moron. It’s always been Avery for me. I’d marry that woman in a heartbeat if she would have me.” He shook his head and the smile on his Be was rueful. “But as she won’t even let me keep clean underwear in her place I can’t see that happening anytime soon.”
“I’m sorry brother. But Avery is crazy about you. You can’t blame her for wanting to go slow. The last time you two rushed into something without thinking she ended up with a kid and married to a psychopath.”
“Yeah, I guess so.” He admitted. “How about you and Cali. You are all over each other. So I’m guessing it’s all good there.”
“Yeah, it’s good. Better than good. Things have never been better…” I realised too late what I had said. “Shit sorry man, I didn’t mean.”
He didn’t let me finish. “I can handle hearing about how happy you are Truth. Cali is a good girl. Don’t let her go.”
My eyes met his. “I don’t plan on ever letting her go actually.”
“Well, well. I'm.made up for you Truth I really am. You and Cali are perfect for each other.” He gave a great booming laugh. “Avery will be so excited and you never know it might give her a push in the right direction.”
“What’s going on?”
It was Ruin that answered Young Blood. “Just congratulating Truth.”
“On?”
I had totally forgotten the man listening in as I fucked Cali’s brains out. Had that been Young Blood? Had he followed us out just so he could listen to me make my woman cum?
“On the fact, he is locking Cali down once and for all.”
It definitely wasn’t my imagination. Youngblood looked like he was going to vomit.

Watching Cali dance with her girlfriends was like watching her make love. At least it had the same effect on my cock. A little over an hour after wiping her clean with toilet paper I was ready for another round. Crazy but true.
I was guessing Ruin was having similar thoughts about his own old lady, his eyes were hooded as he watched them all move.
Their bodies gyrating to the music. They were all giggles and smiles. Oblivious to the attention they were getting.
