Lake leaned his head back on Jesse’s shoulder. “Hi.”

“Hello, baby.” Jesse kissed Lake’s cheek. “Missed you.”

“I missed you too.”

Dom began to make gagging noises.

Jesse glared at the boy. “Real mature.”

“I’m a brat,” Dom told him.

“Tell me about it.” Jesse turned to Lake. “I must insist on a proper kiss from my good boy.”

Lake grinned as he wrapped his arms around Jesse’s neck.

Jesse kissed him.

“This is a public place,” Dom complained.

Jesse nipped Lake’s bottom lip as he drew away. “I feel better.”

“Oh goodie,” Dom quipped.

“Ignore him,” Lake said.

“I plan to,” Jesse promised. “I do need to return Remi’s text from earlier.”

Dom gasped. “You wouldn’t.”

Jesse pulled Lake back under his arm. “I would.”

“That’s not fair!” Dom kicked his feet.

“I finally have something to hold over you,” Jesse said with a cackle. “This is great.”

“I don’t think it’s great,” Dom argued.

“It’s funny though,” Ezra piped up.

Jesse turned his attention to the other young man. “How are you doing Ezra?”

Ezra shrugged. “I keep waiting for them to barge in here.”

“Barge in? What are you talking about?” Lake asked.

Ezra’s eyes widened as he looked from Jesse to Lake. “You didn’t tell him?”

“Tell me what?” Lake demanded.

Dom shook his head. “Ezra’s asshole parents are here. In the hotel.”

“What do they want?” Lake demanded.

“We don’t know,” Jesse said gently. “I have William and security watching them.”

Lake growled. “They have to be here for Annabelle. What’s Eric say?”

“That they aren’t doing anything wrong,” Ezra said.
