    ... second floor as they spoke.
    
    "Not yet, anyway," Daniel added.
    
    Zach glared at Daniel. "That's not really on my bucket list, Danny-boy. Even when I was fucking around, I was careful about it. I didn't make waves, didn't make the news, and kept my playtime discreet. I don't actually like making the news. It annoys me. I'd rather stay under the radar if I can help it. The things that I want in the news are my designs and buildings."
    
    "It's also not all about fucking, either," Elias commented. "If Zach wants to get laid, he can do it. I commented on him being so unsure about himself because he's never done that before. I can't picture Zach being unsure and cautious about someone he just wants to fuck."
    
    "L is for the way you look at me," Zayne sang, and Zach pushed him playfully.
    
    Ignoring Daniel completely now, Zach looked at Zayne so he could answer his question. "No, the worst that could happen is that he gets uncomfortable with my attention and quits. Not only does that hurt Nadya, but I can't picture the house without him here..."
    
    Zayne, Elias, and Brinxton all shared some looks before Zayne sang, "O is for the only one you see."
    
    Diego paused in the upstairs hallway, listening despite himself. He wasn't sure what to make of the conversation at first, but he listened with renewed interest when he figured out that they were mostly talking about him. He heard Zach laugh and tell Zayne to shut up before Aspen spoke up.
    
    "I'm surprised that you're ...
    ... taking an actual interest in someone," she admitted. "Not that I think you're incapable of it, but I kind of figured you'd keep your casual fun until like early thirties or something. It's cute."
    
    Zach looked down at his hands, looking thoughtful. "I think it was Kali's doing, honestly. She got me thinking about what life looks like after the fun slows down a bit. She was always such a romantic. Sometimes I wish we'd had that romantic spark, but it just never happened. If I'm being honest, I think she's probably the last woman I plan to ever be with. I always connected with men romantically more, as we can see."
    
    "I like Diego," Zayne commented. "He's capable of calming you in a way I haven't seen before. Everyone knows you tend to be an act-before-you-think type of person, which works sometimes but you need someone who can keep you level headed and thinking first."
    
    "And Nadya adores him," Elias pointed out.
    
    "And he obviously loves Nadya," Aspen added with a nod of her head.
    
    Zach sighed at that. "Yeah, but we kind of talked a little about this and by the end of the conversation he practically ran out of the room after laughing uncomfortably and now I'm freaking out over not scaring him off. I mean, there's a ton about me to scare him off."
    
    "That's true," Daniel said while Zayne added an incredulous, "Like what?!" at the same time. Zayne turned a glare on his ex for a moment, like he was warning him to keep his mouth shut and not to feed into Zach's growing ...
