" He struck a dramatic pose, hands on hips. “Et tu, Judas?” Unfazed by the theatrics, Ayden said,
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Blake pointed an accusing finger.
“I know you melted the wires in my engine. Think you’re so smart. But you’re not the only one with mechanical ability.”
“You called Logan, didn’t you.”
“Of course I called Logan. He’s my mechanical ability. But that’s not the point. The point is I got it fixed and I’m here in time to pick her up. So despite your backstabbing sabotage, I’m ready to take her to school. Aurora, please get out of the,” he eyed Ayden’s car, “super exotic sports car and into my…practical hybrid.” His face fell into misery.
“Come on, dude,

" The door opened. We all froze.
“Mom, this isn’t what it looks like.” Mom put her hand on her hip.
“It looks like a group of boys wrestling on the floor of your bedroom while you watch. Wearing a towel.”
“Okay,” I admitted, “it is what it looks like, but it’s not—”
“Sexual?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Mom!” Luna stuck her head under Mom’s arm and sucked in a breath. “She’s gone from a love triangle to a kinky sex pentagon.”
Blake lifted his head. “Vote for Team Blake!”
Mom rolled her eyes. “Boys, vacate. Now. Aurora get dressed. And everybody head downstairs. Breakfast is on. I made quiche. There’s plenty for all.”
“First edible breakfast in weeks,” Luna said.
Blake smacked his lips. “Yum!” Mom checked behind the door.
“Ayden’s not here, is he?” I shook my head. “Then there’s no lust factor. Although, your father may not be as easy going as I am. So, gentlemen, get out.”
As she left, Mom dragged Luna away with her. Blake shook off the other boys and stood. “That’s offensive. I’m a very lustful guy.”
“And a big blabbermouth.” Logan whacked the back of Blake’s head.
“But remember you can’t tell—”
“Ayden!” Blake shouted.
“Right,” Tristan said, “or —”
“No, it’s…” Wide-eyed, Blake jerked his chin toward my door.
Our heads swiveled. Ayden filled the doorway, leaning against the frame, arms folded. “What can’t you tell me?” He arched one eyebrow awaiting a reply. The silence seemed ready to explode. Ayden zeroed in on Blake. “Come on, Weak Link, give it up.”
Blake blurted out, “Jayden was in the shower with Aurora!”
I choked. “What!”
“You idiot!” Logan thumped Blake repeatedly.
“Technically, that’s true.” Jayden said.
“But only once.” Ayden’s arms dropped. Along with his jaw. Tristan jumped up and shoved Jayden’s shoulder.
“Shut up!”
I tugged the towel tighter. “Ayden, that didn’t happen. Exactly. Guys, he already knows the Divinicus thing.”
“Oh, good.” Blake was relieved.
“Secrets? Not my thing.”
“No kidding,” I said.
“You told Blake before me?” Ayden said. “Unbelievable.”
Blake raised his brows. “What’s that supposed to mean?" I held up my hand.
“I didn’t tell anyone.”
“Oh, my God! Why are you in a towel?”
