weird.”
    “His backside, you mean?”
    “Yeah. It was cold and squishy, but I don’t know what a real man is supposed to feel like, so that wasn’t it so much as the strangeness of having my brothers watch me.” Jared was too much of a private person to enjoy being on display whereas Caleb reveled in it.
    “Everyone stood around and watched everyone else?” Easton made a face.
    “Yeah. Weird, huh?” Jared programmed the cookbot to make something fast and simple. Again, he was trying to conserve what they had.
    “Didn’t you watch?”
    “I did, but I felt odd doing it. I really just wanted—” Jared cut himself off rather suddenly when he realized he was spilling his guts to a man he hardly knew. Easton was his mate, but still, he had been private for so long that sharing made him feel strangely uncomfortable.
    “You can tell me. I won’t laugh or make fun of you.”
    Jared looked over his shoulder at Easton. His face was open, earnest, and very compassionate. He would never do anything to hurt someone else deliberately. He simply wasn’t that kind of a man.
    “I watched because I wanted to learn how.” Jared blushed. “That makes me sound so pathetic.”
    “No, it doesn’t.” Easton rose and came near so he could place his hand on Jared’s back. His touch was light but surprisingly soothing. “It makes you sound like a very caring man.”
    “Caring? Because I wanted to watch my brothers fuck a robot?”
    “Caring because you wanted to see how it works so that when you had a mate, like me, you would know what to do.” Easton leaned up into him and kissed his mouth very lightly. “I think that’s nothing but sweet.”
    “Aw, well, thanks.”
    “Can I ask you something?”
    “Sure.”
    “Well, if all of you were using the bot, isn’t that kind of…messy?”
    “Messy?”
    “In his backside.”
    “Oh! No, no. It wasn’t like—ew!” Jared shook his head to remove the yucky visual. “We had to wear a protective sheath, and the robot was self-cleaning. Well, Caleb didn’t wear one, I don’t think. Anyway, after each man used him, the robot washed himself out.”
    “Well, good. Otherwise…”
    “Yeah, that would be gross.” Jared glanced out the kitchen doorway and then out the living room window. From this angle, he had a good view of the stocks where Caleb had immobilized the mechanical man. Even though he’d watched, Jared didn’t feel he really knew all that much about how to approach his mate in the bedroom.
    “I think brothers should share, but not that much.” Easton giggled.
    “So do you really know a lot about sex?” Jared was somewhat intimidated by the notion that his mate knew more than he did. He was the alpha partner, and he thought he should be more knowledgeable.
    “I know theory, but I’ve never put it into practice.” Easton laughed, but Jared didn’t know why.
    “What’s so funny?”
    “Oh, just, I also studied cooking, and when I put that into practice I made the most awful food in the world, so I’m wondering if I’ll do the same with sex.”
    “No way.” Jared pulled him close, loving the way his body fit so perfectly against his. “You seemed to know what you were doing when we were in the bathroom.”
    “We did do a very good job, didn’t we?”
    “We certainly did.” Jared made a series of lazy circles on Easton’s back. “Does it bother you to be naked all the time?”
    “No. I’m used to it after being this way my whole life.”
    “How old are you?”
    “I turned legal age just last week.”
    “Eighteen, huh? I always wanted a younger man as a mate.”
    Easton pulled back a bit so he could look up. “How old are you?”
    “I’m an ancient twenty-three.”
    “Oh, my. A much older man. Well, if we’re lucky, you still have a few good years left.”
    “Let’s hope.” Jared chuckled and pulled Easton tight to his chest so he could rest his chin on the top of his head. “You feel good.”
    “I do?”
    “Yeah. Like you fit me
