The Mansion of Men

Party planning

"Who told you?" Porsche asked, putting down his fork.

They were sat at the dinner table, a rarity that was only possible because Tankhun had forced everyone to be there. Everyone, including Tem and Jom, for some reason. But it was NOT supposed to include Chay.

"Macau told me," Chay said, mouth bouncing and filled with food.

Porsche looked at Vegas, across the table.

"Don't look at me. I didn't tell him."

"You're not going to Tankhun's... adult party," Porsche decided.

"I'll have to second that, Chay," Tankhun said from the head of the table. "No baby brothers allowed. No Chay, no Macau, no Kim. If it was up to me, there'd be no Kinn there at all."

"Excuse me?" Kinn said.

"The only reason I'm letting you come is because of Porsche."

"Because of Porsche? The party was my idea."

"Who gives a shit?" Tankhun asked, rubbing his soiled fingers in a napkin. "Who wants their little brother around during an orgy?"

Tem choked as Jom patted him on the back.

"Language," Porsche said, covering his brother's ears. "Chay, go have dinner elsewhere."

"But I-"

"Now!"

Sulking, Chay got up and left.

As Chay left, Porsche ran his fingers through Kinn's hair, smiling at him.

"Don't sulk. You'll be there."

"As a plus-one. To a party that's happening in my house."

Porsche pecked him on the cheek.

"I'll make it worth your while."

"During a sex party?" Tankhun asked.

Porsche scoffed, looking confused.

"Of course. I always have time for Kinn."

Tankhun looked at Porsche.

"Why would you waste time on him, during a sex party that's filled with new possibilities?"

The entire table went quiet. Even Pete, who was talking to Arm and Pol  stopped his conversation in favour of turning to stare at Tankhun like he'd grown a second head.

"What?" Tankhun asked, looking around.

From the looks on their faces, Tankhun could tell that they were all just beginning to realize what was supposed to happen... AT A FUCKING SEX PARTY! He had no idea that these monogamous bitches were planning to come to his party to be fucking monogamous.

"You can't be serious," he said to everyone. "Why go to a sex party to be with someone you could have at home? If that's the case, you're all uninvited."

"Invite me," Tay said. "I'm coming to have fun."

"Damn straight," Tankhun said, raising his hand as Tay reached over and gave him a high five. "Anyone who doesn't want to join, raise your hand so I can take you off the list."

Tankhun closed his eyes and lifted his head to the ceiling, giving them all a moment to make up their minds. Because, really? What? If everyone was sticking to familiar partners, then where would that leave Tankhun who had plans? Bullshit.

When he dropped his head and opened he eyes, he looked around, noting that not one person had raised their hands.

"Now, aren't you all glad you came to dinner?" he asked. "It would have been so awkward to show up that day without knowing how a sex party works."

Digging into his dinner, he proceeded to pretend that the entire room was calm. That the place wasn't rife with tension. It wasn't his business. It was asked and answered. If they all had things to discuss with their significant others, they could all do that somewhere else.

Out of Tankhun's sight and out of his way.
