“How the fuck did you get our blood?” Axel growls. The other two are surprised but not all that shocked because, well... this is Neo we're talking about.

“You’re a heavy sleeper.” Neo grins. “And your big toe is ticklish. Also, you should really go get a pedicure. It does wonders for your skin. Oh, and also, do you know you moan Harlow’s name in your sleep?”

My brows shoot up, an amused smile playing on my lips. Axel turns beet red, and not all from anger.

“No, I fucking don’t,” he growls.

“Do toooo,” Neo sings.

“Alright. Let us give you ours now,” Dean says, handing me a box. I open it to find a wicked set of daggers. Cass gives me a glass encased rose like the one from Beauty and the Beast. He gets all corny on me and states‘I’ll love you until the last petal falls.’

Yeah, sure, make me swoon like a little bitch.

Axel actually got me something as well, and it might be one of my favorites. “Where did you find this?” I whisper as my fingers trace the old, worn leather. It’s a book of old poems; similar to the one I used to read every night in the windowsill at the group home with only the moonlight's glow while everyone else slept. I swiped it from the library and kept it hidden in a loose floorboard.

When I moved to the same town with the guys, I found out that the book was worth a lot of money. I pawned it the Christmas after I became good friends with the guys so that I could get each of them something. Neo got a pocket knife. Cass received a harmonica, which I used to make fun of him for liking, but he was actually really good. Dean gained a fancy pen. Don't ask me why, he was the hardest to buy for. And Axel was given a World War ll brooch.He has a thing for everything from that war.It cost me a lot, but it was totally worth it.

“It’s the exact same one you pawned,” Axel says, making my eyes snap up to his.

“Are you serious?” I ask in disbelief.

“Yeah. I didn't know what to get you. I mean what do you get a billionaire killer that she doesn't already have or would want? Then I remembered that book. I tracked it down from the shop and found its current owner. Check the inside if you don't believe me,” he mumbles gesturing to the book, avoiding eye contact.

Opening the front cover I see my initials in sharpie. It cost me some of its value because of that, but I never owned something of my own, so I had to claim it.

“Thank you,” I tell him with genuine gratitude. “You have no idea how much this means to me.”

He says nothing but his eyes say it all.Fucking stubborn bastard!Just get over yourself and fucking love me before I end up killing you!

“Okay, now these,” Neo says, piling the other gifts he got me onto my lap. I make work of the first box. My eyebrows raise when I see the name on the box and rush to open the other three.

“You said you wanted to have a mold of our cocks to fuck yourself with,” Neo reminds me.

“No fucking way.” I laugh, opening the first box.

“That’s—” Neo starts but I cut him off.

“Cass’s,” I finish. “I know my mens’ cocks.” I grin, holding up the purple silicone dildo. “And this one is yours,” I say while picking up a blue one. I quickly shove it in the crook of my left elbow doing the same with the purple one so I can grab up the next one. “This is Dean's.” I hold up a bright orange dick and place it in my left hand because I can’t move my arm with it clutching the dildos to my chest. “And this one’s...” I study the green penis in my right hand, completely confused. “Whose is this?”

“Axel’s,” Neo informs me.

“What! How the fuck did you get a mold of my cock?” Axel screeches as he looks at his cousin in horror.

“Oh relax, you made this yourself.” Neo rolls his eyes.

“I did not. I think I’d remember doing something like that,” Axel snaps.

“Did too, and I can prove it,” Neo says, pulling out his phone. He goes into his photos and clicks on a video before showing Axel. I can't see the screen but I can hear their drunken slurs and loud conversation. By the end of it, he looks utterly embarrassed. Axel grabs the phone and swipes furiously.

“Hey!” Neo frowns, snatching the phone back from him. “You deleted it?!”

“No one needs to see that,” Axel seethes.

“Oh well, I have others.” Neo grins, dodging Axel when he tries to swipe the phone from him again. “Look...” Neo shows me some photos. I flick through them all and by the end, I’m laughing my ass off.

“Please, please, get all of these printed for me,” I beg Neo. He just provided me with photos of him taking selfies with the guys. He has a dildo up to each of their mouths like they are sucking on them. Along with photos of them all with the castings on their dicks.I guess they went hard with the whole ‘male bonding’ thing.

“Oh and this is my favorite.” Neo cackles, pressing play on a video. It’s of Cass and Neo having sword fights with a pair of dildos.
