Garrett knew he looked sheepish. “That’s not the point. I just want to make sure I get some.”
“I think that is the point but I’ll let you get away with it for now. If I end up having to make another one, you’re going to have to fess up.” Wyatt gave him a wicked grin. “I bet one of your brothers would tell me if I asked.”
“You cheat as bad as the rest of the family. You’re going to fit right in.”
CHAPTER 12
Wyatt
Garrett might have had a good idea.
When it became clear what he was going to do, Wyatt had been skeptical that it would work…and turned on and slightly embarrassed and then really turned on. It turned out Garrett’s idea might not have been that crazy after all. Wyatt was definitely more relaxed and felt more like he usually did when he was kneeling for his Dominant.
This time, it was just without the kneeling or the obvious submission.
At least, he hadn’t kneltyet. The fact that they’d only been there about thirty seconds may have had something to do with it. Walking around to the back of the large ranch home, the weight of the plug and the comforting hug of the cock ring kept him from panicking.
He could do this. They’d always been very nice, even if he hadn’t realized he’d met them before.
Thankfully, it wasn’t that big of a deal when they came around the back. Garrett took a minute and pointed out everyone to them. That was when it hit him that hehadmet everyone. Brent was the man who’d answered a hypothetical claims question. Bryce had been a teasing funny guy who’d been driving the receptionist crazy one day. And Grant had been the large brooding man who Wyatt had seen coming out of Garrett’s office.
Brent and a few other people raised their hands and called out a quick hello. Grant shook his head and made a big deal of looking at his watch. “We were starting to think you’d run off with the dessert.”
“Don’t be an ass. At least try to make a good impression. Mom wouldn’t be pleased to hear you tried to run off Wyatt and his friend. She’s excited to hear I’m finally settling down.”
Wyatt hadn’t heard that smirking, I’m–better–than–you–are voice before from Garrett. It was eye opening. To him, Garrett had always been the sexy, out-of-reach Dom, but he was starting to see a different side. One that liked making his brothers nuts. It was cute.
“Now who’s being an ass? Mom would have my hide!” Grant threw what looked like a roll at Garrett, just missing him. Unfortunately, it bounced off Carter instead, who stood there shocked.
Neither Wyatt nor Carter knew what to do. Their families weren’t like this at all.
“Shit! I’m sorry.” Grant’s words had everyone in the backyard looking in their direction.
“Are you okay?” Garrett turned towards Carter and tried to see if he was hurt.
Carter laughed, then tried to reassure him. “It was a roll, not something dangerous. I’m fine.”
“Way to make a good impression, jackass,” Garrett growled at Grant.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hit you. I was aiming for that tattle-tale over there.” He tilted his head in Garrett’s direction but seemed to be refusing to talk to him. “Are you sure you’re okay? I didn’t mean to hit you.”
Carter blushed and looked down at the ground, mumbling something Wyatt couldn’t hear. Grant evidently heard him though because his head came back and he laughed. Carter’s blush went into overdrive and he looked mortified. This time Wyatt heard his words. “Where’s a rock when you need to crawl under something?”
Grant laughed even harder. Garrett was looking at his brother like he’d never seen him before. Wyatt was missing something.
Grant managed to get ahold of himself and stopped laughing. He held out his arm like someone from one of those old timey movies, where men wore suits and were very suave. “May I show you where the drinks are located?”
Carter looked like he wasn’t sure if Grant was being serious, but when he made up his mind he just smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Sir.”
As they moved away from Wyatt and Garrett, Grant leaned down and whispered something to Carter. Whatever it was had Wyatt’s friend blushing again but this time it looked more like flirting than embarrassment. Very interesting.
“I’ll be damned.”
“So that’s not normal for Grant?”
“Nope. Not normal at all. Very curious.” Garrett shook his head. “All right, let’s go set these down then I’ll introduce you to everyone.” Then his voice dropped to a husky whisper. “Later, I have to check to make sure your toys aren’t hurting you.”
It wasn’t a question so Wyatt gave the naughty man a little smile. “I understand, Master.”
