“Ron, chill.”
Too late, Ronnie had already fixated on the idea.
“Yeah, but I don’t want you to think—”
“I’m not thinking anything.”
“Except you obviously are, because you wouldn’t have said no, definitively no, if you hadn’t thought about it, and you wouldn’t have said that I didn’t want to, if someone hadn’t given you that impression.That wasn’t me.I’ve not implied that.”
“Okay.Got ya.You know Xane was joking?”
“Yeah,” Ronnie said in a way that left him uncertain if he did actually know that.“But maybe I wasn’t.What if I’ve been harbouring secret fantasies and psyching myself up to this moment, and now you’re crushing my sweet little sugar heart with your offhanded dismissal?”
“Am I?”
Ronnie could talk the legs off a spider while simultaneously writing a hit single.He was a confusing sod, and frequently contradictory.The question though, made him pause long enough to give it some actual consideration.
“You might be.That is, I’m curious.I’ve not blown anyone with a pierced knob before.”
“There’s a darn sight more than one bit of metal ribbing his cock,” Alle remarked from over to their right, where she was sitting snuggled under Spook’s leather jacket, or maybe it was Xane’s jacket that Spook had commandeered.When the heck had they all started borrowing clothes like they were teenaged girls?
“Should we ask how you know that?”Xane’s petite girlfriend asked.
Alle blushed beneath her freckles.“Um…” She turned to Spook.“You don’t mind that I’ve seen his cock, do you?”
Spook shrugged.“You’d already seen it.”
“Hands up anyone who hasn’t seen Rock Giant’s cock?”Ash said.
A quick show of hands proved that was precisely zero out of the people currently present.
“Do the bars not catch on stuff?”Dani asked.She’d come out of her shell recently and was more likely to speak up than hide behind a pair of Xane’s shades and hope nobody noticed her.“I’m curious whether Ronnie will be risking his teeth.”
Ronnie had particularly nice teeth.Lord knows how, given the amount of sugar he consumed.
“Irrelevant.He’s not blowing me.”Why wouldn’t they let this die?Did he have ‘I’m desperate’ stamped across his brow?He rubbed his forehead just in case someone had inked it there and he hadn’t noticed.And he really wasn’t desperate.
“I think I should be offended.”Ronnie fetched out his pet lip.
Goddess, save him!He rolled his eyes skyward.
“Plus, who can resist that much cute?”Xane remarked.
Proving that his crush on their lead singer was still alive and strong, Ronnie immediately made flirty faces across the fire at Xane.
“He can.”Dani shot Ronnie a death glare.“What have I told you about propositioning my boyfriend?”
“That you’ll pull my arms and legs off and bury me in a shallow grave,” Ronnie dutifully recited.
“And she’s not joking, mate.”Xane gave his girlfriend a cuddle and kissed her upturned face.
“I think the question is can Rock Giant resist?”Ginny said, contributing yet more sticks to the fire.
He needed to knock this on the head, or it was going to run forever.“Guys, he’s hardly my type.No offence, mate.”
“None taken this time,” Ronnie settled his head on Paul’s lap.“Unless you’re saying you wouldn’t get it up if it was me.Then I might be hurt.I’m not that unattractive.”
The cheeky imp was the exact opposite, and he knew it.
