He gave her a perplexed look. “What for?”

“I don’t know, doesn’t it say we’ve been doing it if we go out the same door?”

“We have been doing it.”

“I know that, and you know that, but I don’t want my daddy knowing it!” she complained.

“He’s probably outside by the fire eating something, and I’d like to join him. Now go,” he said, reaching around her to open the door. She shot him an exasperated look but went out with only a sigh. Smiling, he followed behind her, opening his Facebook app again to ask her to be friends. Before he could complete the request though, Karl’s booming voice stopped him right as Kacey halted in front of him, causing him to run into her.

“So I guess you two are together. And if not, I need you to explain why you’ve spent the last two hours moaning each other’s names.”

“Oh my God,” Kacey gasped, letting her head fall back. “Please tell me my father did not just say that to me.”

“No, he did. But were we that loud?” Jordie asked innocently, and Lacey laughed as Kacey glared.

“You guys gave me and Karson a run for our money, that’s for sure,” she decided, rocking Mena back and forth.

“At one point we had to go outside,” Regina said, shaking her head. “I mean, goodness me, Kacey.”

“This is my life,” Kacey said with her eyes shut, and it took everything for Jordie not to laugh.

“I should kick your ass for defiling my sister…again,” Karson said, meeting Jordie’s gaze, his eyes dancing with laughter.

“And I should kick your ass for making me look like I’m lacking in the bedroom,” Karl said, and on cue, everyone except for Regina heaved.

“Gross!” Kacey cried.

“Come on, Dad! Really?” Karson complained as Lacey just laughed.

“Wow, I’m not sure if I should be proud or disgusted,” Jordie said, his face scrunched up.

“Maybe you should give him some pointers,” Regina sang, trying not to laugh.

“Yup, I’m disgusted,” Jordie said to Kacey. “I think your mom just asked me to tell your dad how to screw her.”

Kacey gagged. “Please, don’t repeat it,” she said, holding her stomach.

“Sorry, I can’t get the vision out of my head,” he said, trying to shake the image away.

It wasn’t working though.

“Hey, I know how to do you just fine!” Karl yelled and Regina waved him off.

“Please make them stop,” Karson cried out, leaning his head against Lacey’s, but she was no help, she couldn’t stop laughing.

“Lord knows I’ve never screamed the way she did,” Regina said, pointing to Kacey.

“I think I just died of embarrassment,” Kacey mumbled to Jordie and he nodded.

“I’m right there with ya,” he agreed just as Karl scoffed.

“Because obviously you don’t know how to enjoy good sex!”

“Oh God, Karson, make them stop,” Lacey said, covering Mena’s ears.

But Karson shook his head, his hands over his ears. “Sorry, can’t hear you.”

“You guys are ridiculous,” Regina said, shaking her head as Karl wrapped his arms around her waist. “Everyone does it. We all know they do.”

Jordie’s head hung as he shook it. Chancing a look at Kacey, he saw that her whole face was red, and soon he couldn’t help it, he started laughing. She looked over at him in horror, but even she couldn’t hold it in. Then they were all laughing. Holding his stomach, he decided he had never laughed that hard in his life. Kacey leaned against him, her perfume clouding his senses as she dissolved into giggles. This could only happen to them. Only the King family would do this. Anyone else would have been embarrassed and tried to hide their uncomfortable feelings, but not the Kings. No, they let their crazy flags fly.

He wasn’t sure how, but soon he recovered, wiping the tears away from his face. “This is great,” he chuckled, laughter still bubbling in his chest.

“That’s one word for it.” Kacey scoffed, shaking her head.

“So,” Karl said, squeezing Regina in his arms. “You two together now?”

Jordie looked over at Kacey just as she looked at him. Smiling, he laced his fingers with hers and nodded. “Yeah, she’s giving me a second chance.”

Regina aww’d while Lacey cried out in delight, almost bouncing on her heels. “I knew it!”

Karson nodded. “Cool.”

“Cool?” Kacey gasped. “You hit him this morning for being with me before.”

Karson pointed at her. “No, I hit him before because he broke your heart and lied to me. He told me earlier that he was gonna get you back. I’m cool with it. You two are good for each other.”

Kacey looked up at Jordie, shocked, and he shrugged. “Told ya.”

She shook her head then as Karl yelled, “Now, boy, I gave you a pass before ’cause you were messed up. But you hurt my baby again, I’ll hang you by your toes on a clothes hanger and skin you alive.”

“How very country of you,” Lacey commented. “I think I’ve heard Elli say that before.”

“You have,” Karson agreed. “That’s where he heard it.”
