The walk to Aunt Penny's took a bit longer than I thought it was going to. For two reasons. 

One: Thorton wet his pants. Easton held up his end of the threat to tickle Thorton until he pissed himself. So he had to take a shower. Easton was so proud of himself after making Thorton squeal from flushing the toilet and making the shower water run cold. 

And two: Every few seconds, Thorton and I had to stop and look behind us to frown at Easton to stop falling behind. He was purposely taking slow steps, claiming he was "tired". Then he would whine that we walked too fast with our long legs which is a total shit-faced lie because that Moody Asshat was the tallest of us three!

"C'mon, Ease! I know what you are doing and it is not helping! You still have to face the exact same thing even if you prolong it!" I frowned, huffing while shaking my head when Easton was now shoving his face into a bush; muffling that he thought he saw a rabbit jump in to hide. And that he should too.

I rolled my eyes, looking at Thorton who grinned at me. He shrugged a shoulder, mumbling that Easton might like to be Mr. Tough Guy with everyone but when it comes to my cousin---as small as she is---Easton was terrified.

I sighed, looking back at my boyfriend who suddenly shot up and growled at Thorton, "I am not terrified!"  

"No?" Thorton raised his brows, then dramatically waved his arm to the side while stepping back. "Then show us---Oh, Mighty Easey-Peasey!" 

Easton's blue eyes narrowed, lip curling before glancing at me and gruffed out a warning that Thorton wanted to die. 

"Stop stalling, Easton." 

I raised a brow, crossing my arms and waited for him to stop fidgeting. He was muttering under his breath, still looking at the bush beside him like he really wanted to jump in and hide there too with the rabbit. Eventually, when Thorton looked at me and more than necessarily loud asked me if I thought Lincoln would be able to keep me company since I would be showing up at the house alone.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Easton tense up. His head snapping in our direction. 

I blinked, frowning at Thorton who---again---spoke loudly.

"I'm sure he'd love to see you, Kale. Don't you think? Don't you think that Lincoln---the guy who still has feelings for you---would love to see that you show up unaccompanied which would let him know that you are single and ready to mingle?"

My mouth opened to warn Thorton but his green eyes widened at me to stay silent. My brows furrowed, hesitantly looking over to the blond Were whose nostrils were flaring. The ice blue hue to his eyes fading under the gold coating. 

I internally groaned, shaking my head as Thorton continued. 

"I mean..." he purposely glanced Easton's way. "I guess someone... Not naming any names... wants for Lincoln to get back with Kale. Where I was avoiding Kale's room at all costs when they wanted to be..." Thorton narrowed his eyes, grinning, "Alooooone."

 There was tension in my body now seeing the way Easton's fists curled tightly at his sides. His jaw was clenched tightly and that golden heated gaze was on Thorton. 

Knowing what he was doing---I'm assuming---Thorton turned and raised his brows. He crossed his arms, shrugging, "What do you say, Easey-Peasey? Can you picture it? All the times for the past months that Lincoln was alone with Kale?"
