A laugh escaped my lips when Lupe asked me if I thought something was fishy between Cullen and Kylo.
"Oh, Cullen," I said. "He’s been hitting on Kylo for ages. Don’t worry, it’s just his way of being playful. He doesn’t mean anything by it."
Lupe seemed thoughtful for a while. "I know but there’s just something about the look on Kylo’s face when Cullen said those things. It was like the look of someone being caught doing a bad thing..."
Just then, the bathroom door swung open and Liam emerged with a towel wrapped around his damp hair, his eyes wide with innocence, interrupting Lupe.
"Mommy," he began, his voice small, "what’s sex?"
The question hit me like a bolt of lightning. My breath caught seized, and a wave of heat flooded my cheeks.
Lupe, who had been about to retort on my behalf regarding Cullen’s comment, choked on a laugh, her eyes widening comically. Especially since I had just told her that it wasn’t cool to expose Liam to such graphics and he was here to ask about intercourse.
"I— uh..." I stammered, completely unprepared for this turn of events.
My mind raced, searching for an age-appropriate explanation that wouldn’t scar him or plant inappropriate ideas in his head. Where on earth did he pick up that word anyway?
"Liam, honey," I finally managed to say, forcing a calm smile, "that’s a word grown-ups use for something that happens between married couples when they want to start a family." I kept it vague, hoping it would suffice for now. "It’s not something kids should talk about. Just who told you to ask such?"
Liam’s brow furrowed in confusion. "But I heard Kylo and Cullen talking about it back at our apartment. They weren’t talking about starting a family. They said they would have sex if Cullen spies on you and reports to Kylo. I saw them kissing too and Cullen said he wants sex."
Oh. My. Heavens.
What the hell was this? Kylo and Cullen?!
Hell, I knew Cullen was gay but Kylo? After being all sweet and seemingly innocent? So, he wasn’t loyal to me after all. He was having sex with my roommate behind my back.
How could Cullen even do this?
I mean, I was no saint since I was entangled with Kylo’s father too but ours included a bond beyond our comprehension. We had done a good job and a good amount of constraints not tearing each other out and having hot sex because that was exactly what the tension between us shouted.
I could hear my wolf agreeing to that. She wanted Gamma Rhett so badly but I never gave her the joy of that and Kylo, who wasn’t even mated to Cullen was having sex with him in secret?
If Liam hadn’t overheard them and got curious, would they have ever let this out? At least, I knew I’d tell Kylo about Gamma Rhett but I just was waiting for the right time for it.
