whispered in her ear, “Lead the way, sexy.”
Once they were out of earshot of the others, Kayla asked him, “Harm, I’m still a little worried about J.J. Do you think he’s having second thoughts about being part of our household?”
“No. Not at all. I think he’s just got that restless bug that infects most teenagers. And he’s still a little miffed about being shut out on a Sunday. Remember, Kayla, he’s only nineteen.”
“You’re the second one to remind me of that. Makes me think I should have taken that more into consideration before accepting him. I’ve always believed that age truly is nothing more than a number, but then again, J.J. is young enough to be—well—he’s so young.”
Kayla amended what had been on the tip of her tongue. That J.J. was practically young enough to be her son. Just the thought of that made her wince inwardly.
Harm gave her a hug, knowing what she was thinking. “Kayla, you’re definitely ageless. But the fact is that most guys J.J.’s age are out roaming the clubs, dancing, and hooking up whenever the urge hits them because they have a perpetual hard-on. But I don’t think he’s missing any of that kind of action. I think he’s still just trying to find his place in life in general and now in our conjoined life. Actually, J.J. is the most mature nineteen-year-old I’ve ever known.”
“Can you think of any way we might cheer him up?”
Harm tilted her face up with a finger beneath her chin. “I have a feeling you have something in mind. What is it?”
“I was wondering if you’d be up for inviting him to join us tonight. Since you’ve never personally participated in a ménage a trois , I don’t know your feelings about it, and of course, I don’t know J.J.’s, either.”
“Since I’ve come to know J.J. better lately, I think he might be interested. Like I said, I think he’s perpetually horny. As for me, Kayla, I’m on the fence about that, to tell you the truth. Actually I have to admit that I’ve never done that before. I’m certainly not into the man-on-man thing. I don’t think J.J. is, either. Of course we would both love to love on you but is there enough of you to go around?” he teased, leaning to kiss her.
When their lips parted, she said lightheartedly, “You’d be surprised how far I can stretch myself.”
Harm chuckled at her naughty, double entendre. “Nothing about you, my fair lady, would surprise me. But as long as it’s understood we both love on you and not each other, I don’t mind giving it a try. You want me to broach the subject to J.J., don’t you?”
She nodded.
“Okay. I will after we eat. You hungry?”
“Yes. Let’s go rejoin the others.”
They entered the kitchen as Lee was taking the roast out of the oven.
“I believe it’s ready. Luke, how’s the salad coming along?”
“Ready.”
As the food was carried to the dining room table, Kayla looped her arm into J.J.’s and he leaned in to give her a kiss.
She asked him, “So, you’ve had a slow, boring day, huh? We have to think of something to put a smile back on that handsome face, J.J.”
“I’ve just been in a blue funk,” he admitted. “Sorry.”
“Any particular reason?”
“Two reasons, if I’m going to be honest. One is that Sunday abstinence thing is still rankling me, but I’ll get over it. Two, I got a letter from my folks. It was kind of depressing. They demanded I go back to San Antonio. I called them and said I was never going back. I thought I would impress them with the fact that I have two jobs, one just to make money and one that I love and I am happy, that I definitely did not want to become a doctor. My dad hung up on me.”
Kayla squeezed his arm. “Sorry to hear that, J.J. I know it’s an empty platitude, but things do have a way of working out if you give them time.”
They all sat down and as they started to eat, Kayla met Harm’s eyes. He smiled and nodded. As soon as the meal was over, while Lee and
