“Come on, Gwen, you have to.”
“No, I most assuredly do not. A lady never kisses and tells.”
Merlin grinned at his roommate as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Like hell you don’t. I was here for the Great Helios Fiasco, remember?”
Gwen snorted. She was getting the little cake she’d bought earlier out of the refrigerator as the two got their flat ready for the tea they were having with their friends later. Merlin was being useless as far as she could see, just leaning up against the counter when she’d asked him to tidy up the living room. “That was different and shouldn’t you be cleaning up?”
Merlin waved his hand toward the room and Gwen watched the magazines she’d been flipping through earlier fall into the basket she had next to the couch. “Done. Now spill. Was he at least a good kisser? Good enough for a shag? Or two?”
“Fine. Yes. He was a good kisser and yes, he was good enough for a few shags.” Gwen rolled her eyes, knowing if she didn’t toss him a bone, Merlin would never leave her alone. And it was especially important that Merlin lay off the questioning. She blushed. “Good enough that I invited him to tea.”
Merlin’s mouth dropped. “After two dates, one of them only a coffee date? You invite him to meet all of us? Are you mad? Aren’t you supposed to have him well and truly trapped before he meets us? Then he’s in too deep to run screaming.”
“I think he can handle it. Us, I mean. Lance is, well, you’ll see when he gets here.” Gwen pointed at her best friend. “No magic until he’s used to us, though. Got it?”
Merlin reached out and held onto her finger. “That serious, Gwennie?”
Gwen took a deep breath. “I think so, yes.”
“Then I’ll be on good behavior. I promise.” Merlin crossed over and gave her a hug. “But when he is used to us, all bets are off.”
“I wouldn’t expect anything else.”
