Before he could step out of the shower and walk away, I sank to my knees and swallowed him. He shouted in response, his hips thrusting slowly at first before he took control completely. He grabbed my horns, sending waves of pleasure down my spine, and used my mouth to get himself off. And I fucking let him.

It didn’t take long before I felt him tense. When I flicked my gaze up, he shot me a look. It was part warning, part begging for me to finish him off. Even in control, he made me feel like his equal. I sucked harder and his cum flooded my mouth less than a second later. He threw his head back, letting out a quiet groan. His hips kept moving in little jerks until his cock stopped twitching and he finally stepped away. He didn’t get a chance to come down from the high before someone pounded on his door again. He scowled.

“Shit. Hate to ditch you, but–”

“Go. I’m gonna get dressed and go meet Dante. The babysitter has him working with her at the farmer’s market, and I don’t want him causing trouble.”

Declan snorted. “I could see that happening. Okay, cool. See you later?”

The boys still had plans to play, so yeah, I’d be back later. I dipped my chin to acknowledge him and he climbed out of the tub without a word. He surprised me when he spun around, pressing a quick kiss against my lips, but he disappeared before I could respond.

Befuddled, I rinsed off and hopped out, listening as I toweled off. They ingrained it in me at this point to listen in to conversations around me, and I didn’t feel ashamed about it.

“Hey, buddy! You ready for a fun week?”

“Yeah! I brought my controller. Can we play right now?”

Declan chuckled, but the sound was a little off. Tense. I tipped my head, trying to figure out why, when someone else spoke.

“We told you we were coming. You couldn’t put some pants on before now?” a woman complained.

“Sorry. I was in the shower.”

“We texted you twenty minutes ago!”

“Alright, alright. I’ll go get dressed. Relax. It’s not like I’m going to taint anyone just because I haven’t gotten dressed yet.”

“Taint people with what?” Ollie asked. I was wondering the same question. And while Ollie wasn’t going to get an answer, the woman screeching at him that it wasn’t his business, I could ask Declan myself. I teleported to his room to avoid flashing a little kid in the hallway, popping up right as Declan closed the door. He jumped, scowling at me.

“That’s fucking annoying,” he growled under his breath. I ignored that.

“Taint people with what?”

He sighed, heading to his closet to grab some clothes. “My gayness. My parents are homophobic. If they didn’t need a babysitter, they wouldn’t want anything to do with me.”

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

DECLAN

The incredulousnesson Aziel’s face was justifying. But I didn’t want to get into it right now. If my parents knew a guy I was sleeping with was in my room with my brother here, they’d take Ollie and forget their trip. I had to at least appear straight or they’d never let him come over again. I put up my hands, keeping my voice at a whisper.

“I know. Can we talk about this later? If they find out I’ve got a hookup here, they’ll throw a fit. I don’t want them to take my brother away.”

He didn’t look happy about it, but he didn’t fight me. He yanked his clothes on, storming closer once he was through. I thought he’d yell or demand I stand up to them or something. Instead, he dipped his head and kissed me quickly, mumbling against my lips.

“I’ll be back later with Dante. Lunch is on me.”

And then he was gone. The teleporting thing was really starting to bug me. But then again, when I came out of my room fully dressed and my mom leaned past me trying to get a look in my room, it made me feel better to know I’d never get caught with Az. If I needed him gone, he’d disappear without issue. That was kind of convenient, actually.

“Alright. Dressed. Now, don’t you two have to get to the docks?”

Mom was pissed that I didn't answer the door right away. She knew I was here and Ollie had a key, but apparently today she was looking for any sign that I couldn’t handle watching Ollie this week. There wasn’t much she could do if she found anything other than cancel her trip. Dad didn’t even come upstairs, so he obviously didn’t care enough to cancel. I heard him honk and raised my eyebrows at Mom significantly.

She scowled, grinding her teeth as she said goodbye to Ollie. “If you need anything, call us. I mean it, Oliver. Anything at all.”

“We’re good. Come on, Dec! Let’s play!”

Mom’s eyes narrowed on me as I went to join my brother, but she gave up, storming out of my place and slamming the back door so hard, I was worried she’d cracked the frame. I shook my head, mostly to myself.
