I look over my shoulder at them. Putting them behind me was the only way to keep my attention on what I’m working on. Not that it stops me from wanting to look or sneaking a glance. Damon rolls his eyes. Hawk leans back in his chair like he couldn’t care less what Mia does. Cam notices me and sends me a kissy face.
I wink at Cam before turning back to face Mia and Mark. “You should come, Mark. It would be nice to hang out with you outside of all of this.”
Mark takes a breath and gives me a nod that almost looks like a bow. “I’d be honored.”
“You keep looking at her like that, and her boyfriends might get the wrong idea.” Mia bumps Mark’s shoulder with her own.
“I’m pretty sure they know where I stand.”
I raise an eyebrow and refuse to turn back around and look at my guys.
“Full disclosure. I asked Hawk if he’d be interested in experimenting.” Mark shrugs. “You never know. Some very straight guys say yes just to make sure or because they’re curious. Some guys just can’t turn down a blow job.” Mark’s grin grows. “Hawk was not interested, but he let me down gently.”
I laugh. I can’t help it. Mark asking Hawk to fuck him? I would have paid good money to be a fly on that wall. Mia grins, and Mark gets this wicked look in his eyes.
“If any of your guys feel like experimenting...” He gestures to himself as an offering.
“I think the only one they want to experiment with is me, but I’ll definitely let them know they have options.” I shake my head, but laughter still pulls my cheeks tight.
“Then I’m in on movie night to learn more about what that statement means,” Mark says, and Mia claps her hands.
“We should focus.” I glance over my shoulder quickly before returning all my attention to Othello and Desdemona.
CHAPTER 12
Damon
I stand as soonas Evan ends rehearsal. I have her helmet and want nothing more than to take her riding with us. Obviously, I want more than that, but the key is to get her alone. We have tonight, school tomorrow, and then I’m gone for the week. Hopefully, I’ll find out if Crowne Mawr could work as a future for at least me.
We’ll have to visit the college together to figure out if it’ll work for all of us, but this is a move in the right direction. A move toward our future.
Evan stands talking with Mark. She touches his arm, and he smiles down at her. Yeah, that’s not happening.
“He’s gay, Damon.” Hawk grabs my arm before I can stalk toward them.
I glare at Hawk and then turn to look at Mark. He’s a good-looking guy, obviously friendly with Evan. And she’s mine, so I can go claim her.
I look at Hawk’s hand and then meet his eyes. Whatever he sees in mine makes him hold his hands up in surrender. I cross the floor and wrap my arm around Evan’s waist, drawing her back against me.
I meet Mark’s eyes over her head, and he laughs softly, shaking his head.
“Damon, this is Mark. Mark, this is Damon.” Evan leans her head back against my chest. “Mark wanted me to let you know if you ever want to experiment with a man, he’s willing. I’m not sure where I stand on whether it’s cheating or fair because I fuck other men, but we do keep it to a select few, so...”
She tilts her head so her wicked blue-gray eyes meet mine. She makes me crazy.
“Nice to meet you, Mark.” I wrap both arms around Evan and rest my chin on her head. “I belong to Evan.”
Mark nods. “Not trying to break anything up. And not into cheating.”
“Good.” I give him a nod like we’ve reached an understanding. I rub Evan’s hip with my hand. “You ready, little devil?”
Her cheeks flush and she meets Mark’s gaze. “I’ll talk to you later about our movie night.”
Mark waves and walks away. He shakes his head and glances back. His gaze lingers on my arms and hands with interest. Hawk seems to be right, but Mark could be bi.
“No offering me to others, Evan. That’s not part of our deal.” I loosen my grip so she can turn in my arms.
She touches my jaw. “I really wish I could have seen your face. But you’re right, I don’t share my men.”
