That hurt. “Because you’ve been with me.”

“What? No! I mean yes, but I’m not mad. At you or him. I was just surprised. I hate the idea of them stalking around. Trying to get to Annabelle,” Lake said.

“Something is bothering you,” Jesse pointed out.

“I was just thinking how much family can suck,” Lake said.

“Not all the time,” Jesse reminded him. “Justice promised to come back as soon as he could.”

Lake nodded. “He called and told me that he talked to Mom and Dad. They’re demanding that I come to Sunday dinner.”

“That’s not happening,” Jesse declared firmly.

“They’re tired of my little temper tantrum,” Lake shared.

“Fuck them,” Jesse said fiercely.

“That’s what Dom said. I’m not going but it could cause more problems. If Justice found me here, then so could my other brothers or parents.”

“I’ll alert security,” Jesse told him. “You have nothing to worry about.”

Lake pulled Jesse closer by his tie. “I love when you get all protective and growly.”

Jesse snorted. “Do you?”

“You were very sexy when you were getting all protective over me, declaring that I wouldn’t be going to family dinner.”

“I’m here to serve,” Jesse joked.

“Thank you,” Lake said. “For always taking care of us.”

“Always, baby.”

Lake kissed him. Hard.

Jesse kissed him back before nipping Lake’s lower lip. “I need to get back to work. You’ll be okay?”

“I’m fine.” Lake waved his hand toward the coffee shop. “I’m going to hang out with my friends before I go to work. Will I see you later?”

“You can count on it.”

“One more kiss,” Lake demanded.

Jesse gathered his boy close again then kissed him, showing Lake how much he would miss him for the next several hours.

Whistles and catcalls sounded around them.

Jesse pulled away slowly. “That should hold you until we’re alone again.”

“Great, now I’m hard. Dom is gonna love that,” Lake complained.

“You can handle him,” Jesse assured him.

“Let’s grab your coffees so you can get to work,” Lake said.

Jesse threaded their fingers together, pulling Lake along with him. They reentered the coffee shop. Dom was still sitting on the counter but next to him were two to-go cups.

“So, Lake’s Daddy,” Dom called. “What are you bringing to our little celebration on Saturday?”

“Should you be sitting up there?” Jesse questioned.

“I make him move when a customer comes in and wipe down the counter,” Ezra said.

“You didn’t answer,” Dom butted in.

Jesse grinned as he approached Dom. He grabbed the two cups and leaned close. “It’s a surprise.”

“No fun!” Dom whined.

“Guess you’ll have to live with it,” Jesse told him. He turned and walked away, stopping to kiss Lake quickly one last time. He needed to stop and drop off his present for Lake to find at work.

Lake

There was something about pulling off his cotton T-shirt, revealing the lace bodysuit underneath, that made Lake feel powerful. Sexy. Even in the bland locker room of the club. Putting the shirt back on had the opposite effect.

He finished stuffing his things into backpack and slung it over his shoulder then slammed the locker before locking it back up. Lake picked up Zeb from the bench but caught their reflection in the mirror.

Crossing the room, Lake stared at himself.

Was there something different about him? Lake couldn’t help but wonder. He felt different. Like the pieces inside him were finally starting to click in place. Even if the pieces bent on the edges when Lake had to cover up his pretty clothes and hide that part of himself.

He hugged Zeb to his chest.

Lake’s little buddy. His partner in crime.

Al was still upstairs in Jesse’s bed but the two stuffies would be reunited soon. Lake would make sure that he grabbed Al before his next shift. Lake had debated packing a bag to stay with Jesse again but had decided against it. He’d spent two nights already.

In the mirror, Lake could see his own frown.

It didn’t feel right anymore.

To say that Lake regretted his decision was an understatement.

Lake had made the wrong decision.

With a heavy sigh, he turned and made his way out of the locker room.

The servers, bartenders, and staff were in cleaning mode. Security didn’t have the same responsibilities and were usually the first out of there. Lake especially got to leave earlier than the others since once the hall was clear and he’d checked all their nightly guests out, he was done.

He pushed open the door and stopped.

Jesse was leaning against the desk with Al in his hands.

“Hi,” Lake said.

“Hey, baby.”

“What are you doing here?” Lake asked.

“Turns out that this little guy was missing his brother.” Jesse shook Al. “I might have missed you too.”

Lake lurched forward. He buried his head into Jesse’s chest.

Jesse wrapped his arms around Lake.

“I missed you too,” Lake said. “I’ve been with you for the last two nights. I know it’s crazy. I almost packed a bag to stay again.”

“You should have,” Jesse said.

Lake pulled back. “I don’t want to impose.”

“Or are you scared that I’ll get tired of you?”

Lake should have known that Jesse would know what he’d been thinking. What his concerns were. He nodded.

“It’s probably a good thing that the same didn’t occur to me.” Jesse bent and picked up a duffel bag.

“What’s that?” Lake asked.

“My overnight bag. So that I can go home with you.”

“You want to go home with me?”

“I called Remi and made sure that it wouldn’t be crossing any boundaries if I came home with you,” Jesse said.

“And he told you that it was fine,” Lake guessed.

“His exact words were that it was your house too. You can have whoever you want to stay with you.”

“And you’ll stay?” Lake asked.

“If you want me to,” Jesse replied with a smile.

“I want you to.”

“Then let’s get you home,” Jesse said. “I’ll drive.”

“What about my car?”

“I’ll drive your car,” Jesse offered.

“I can bring you back in the morning,” Lake offered.

“Or I can Uber and you can sleep in.”

Lake rolled his eyes.

“We’ll discuss it later,” Jesse said.

“Fine.” Lake really didn’t want to argue about it. He was just excited about having Jesse go home with him.

Jesse slipped Lake’s backpack off Lake’s shoulder to carry it. He passed Al over then grabbed his own bag again.

“Is this dumb?” Lake asked. “We could just stay here. In the penthouse. I can go home in the morning and grab some clean clothes.”

“Or I can take my boy home,” Jesse said. “Where all your pretty stuff is and where you’re most comfortable.”

“I’d really like that.”

“Me too.” Jesse waved Lake forward. “And the sooner we leave, the quicker we can get to bed.”

Lake giggled.

“What, baby?”

“The house isn’t as big as the penthouse,” Lake reminded him.

“Okay?”

“If Dom hears us having sex, we’ll never hear the end of it.”

Jesse paled and his steps faltered.

“Like I wouldn’t even put it past him to bring it up over breakfast,” Lake teased.

“He would totally do that.”

“So?” Lake asked.

Jesse huffed. “I’m not scared of Dom.”

“Aren’t you?” Lake taunted.

“He can be pretty evil. That’s why the aliens would return him,” Jesse said.

“Penthouse?” Lake offered.

“No, baby,” Jesse said. “We can handle Dom.”

“If you’re sure,” Lake said.

“I have an ace up my sleeve,” Jesse told him.

“Remi?” Lake guessed.

“Yep. I’ll text him from the car.”

“Sounds good to me, Daddy.”

Jesse

“You’re supposed to be quiet,” Jesse peered up from between Lake’s legs and admonished.

“You’re trying to suck my brains out of my dick!” Lake replied. “How can I be quiet?”

“If you want Dom to overhear us, who am I to argue?” Jesse warned.

Lake flopped back to the mattress. “I’ll be quiet.”

Jesse grasped Lake’s cock and stroked.

“Your mouth,” Lake gasped.

“You want my mouth back on your pretty dick?”

“Please!”

Jesse stroked him again. “Only if you’re quiet.”

“I promise!”

Jess laughed under his breath before he went back to sucking Lake. He was determined that the boy would break his vow. Wrapping his tongue around the head of Lake’s shaft, Jesse played with the slit before sliding down.

Lake pushed up but with Jesse’s hand wrapped around Lake’s base, he was able to control how much of Lake’s cock he took down his throat.

His boy gave a small whine of frustration.

Jesse enjoyed drawing out Lake’s pleasure and teasing him. He dove down then slowly drew back, sucking hard.

Lake squealed.

They were almost there. Lake would be begging any moment.

Peering up between Lake’s legs as he gently, very gently, nibbled on the thick vein that ran down the inside of Lake’s cock.

Lake went crazy under him, kicking out one leg while shouting and trying to thrust.

Jesse wrapped his free arm around Lake’s leg, holding the boy as he forced his mouth down as far as he could go. He swallowed around Lake’s shaft and the boy whined loudly until he started to come.

Pulling back slightly, Jesse was able to drink down his boy’s seed.

He popped off Lake’s cock to grin up at his boy.

Lake was a vision as he panted with glassy eyes and flushed cheeks. God, Jesse loved Lake with all his heart.

Lake lifted his head. “That was…amazing.”

Chuckling, Jesse slid up Lake’s body. “It was.”

“What about you?” Lake asked. “I want to give you pleasure too.”

“Yeah?” Jesse asked with a smirk. “I bet I can even be quiet.”

Lake huffed. “That’s not fair. You knew what you were doing to me.”

“I did indeed,” Jesse replied.

“What do you want?” Lake ran his hands down Jesse’s back.

“Why don’t you just kiss me, and I’ll take care of everything else.”

Lake smiled. “I can do that.” He lifted his head and they kissed.

Jesse rubbed his body up and down as he continued to plunge his tongue inside Lake’s mouth. He matched each thrust against Lake’s cock to how he was fucking his boy’s mouth.

Lake clutched at his back encouraging Jesse to move.

It didn’t take long for Jesse to reach climax. His release soaked into Lake and the sheet under him. Jesse continued to kiss Lake for several long moments before pulling away.

“Thanks, baby,” Jesse said with a wink.

Lake groaned. “You just wanted to get me all dirty.”

“I do love seeing my boy wearing my marks,” Jesse agreed. “Even if they are the kind that washes away.”

“Are you going to clean me up now?”

“It’s a good thing that you have a bathroom attached to your room.” Jesse rolled off Lake.

“But I’m tired!” Lake whined.

“If you want to sleep in the wet spot, that’s fine with me.”

Lake huffed. “There are clean sheets in the cabinet behind the bathroom door. I’ll start the shower.”

“You got it, baby.”
