Darren groaned as he slid into the warm tub, filled with bubbles.\u00a0 \u00a0He took a deep breath of the eucalyptus as it wafted upwards from the water.\u00a0 \u00a0Every inch of his body ached, but in a good way.<\/p>\n
“Can I join you?”<\/p>\n
“If you cannon ball you’re a dead man.”\u00a0 He looked over at his Mate, who had a look of mischief on his face.<\/p>\n
“I’m to sore to even think about it.”\u00a0 Ben slid into the large bathtub, one of the things they upgraded when they bought the house.\u00a0 He leaned against Darren, enjoying the warmth and comfort.\u00a0 “This is perfect.”<\/p>\n
“Leave your hand where it is, I’m so not in a mood for anything but soaking.”\u00a0 Darren let his head fall onto the back of the tub.<\/p>\n
“Oh the mind may want but the body is not willing.”\u00a0 Ben left his hand on his Mate’s thigh, just more for comfort than than to arouse.\u00a0 “My hair hurts.”<\/p>\n
“I can wash it once, my arms decided to stop feeling like lead weights.”\u00a0 Darren snickered slightly.<\/p>\n
It had been a rough game.<\/p>\n
And it wasn’t even a regular game, or an off season game, or even a test match.\u00a0 It was the guys just getting together, playing in the park.\u00a0 \u00a0Kai had joined them, and the guy was an evil son of a bitch.\u00a0 That adorable soft smile, and even temper he has with his Mate was all lies.<\/p>\n
But then they had met more of the Meridii line over the years.\u00a0 And they all were evil sons of a bitches.<\/p>\n
“Remind me not to play with Kai ever again.”\u00a0 Ben muttered.\u00a0 “Well unless it’s in the bedroom.”<\/p>\n
Darren snorted.\u00a0 “The best part was watching the Matthew brothers stare at him in fear.”<\/p>\n
“By the way, why haven’t we Fed?”\u00a0 He glanced back at his Mate.<\/p>\n
“Cause the Marquis is more of an asshole and punishing all of us for destroying his lawn.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
