RHYS

I ’m still in shock as I stare at my phone.

“What’s wrong?” Tobi asks.

“I think your brother just drunk dialed me.” Do I want to tell him more? It is his brother.

“He does that a lot.” Tobi waves it off.

“He was mid orgasm.”

Tobi blinks. “I’m sorry, come again.”

“He only came once. Not again, that I’m aware of,” I deadpan.

He makes a face like he’s on the verge of puking. “Are you sure that’s what you heard?”

“I’m positive.” What I don’t tell him is I’m half hard. If he wasn’t on the other side of Manhattan I’d be on my way there to make him suck my cock as punishment for making me listen when I can’t enjoy it.

“I wonder who he meant to call…” Tobi doesn’t realize, does he?

I’d never told him about that night last spring. I wrote it off because I’d been going through a lot. “I don’t know,” I say when Tobi keeps looking at me for a response.

“He’s so weird. I would apologize for him, but you know, I’m not even going to do that. He doesn’t deserve it.” Tobi grabs a bottle of rum and pours some into his Solo cup. After he fills his cup he holds the bottle out.

I take it and add more to my cup so I don’t get in a car to Summerset. “He is odd.” But do I like it? I think I do. It’s charming in a strange way.

Tobi is on his phone. “I got a text from Cox. He said there is a ton of bunnies at Wolfe’s. Why aren’t we at his party?”

“You don’t even go to my school and you don’t play hockey why are you texting my team?”

“Shouldn’t you be out with the guys celebrating your first game?” He gets a glint in his eyes that looks a lot like a chemistry nerd thinking about puck bunnies.

“Whatever. We can go over there if you want. But I don’t know how to get there.”

“Are you still getting lost?” Tobi holds back a laugh, chugging the rest of his drink.

“Fuck you. That was one time, and I wasn’t allowed in Manhattan my entire childhood!” I give him the address and finish my cup.

“Have you spoken to them at all?”

I shake my head, getting my coat. “No. I’ve been avoiding them. One of them reached out, Owen. But I just can’t imagine it’s anything good.” I keep replaying the conversation we had in the lawyer’s office. I’m going to have to deal with it at some point because of the shares and the seat on the board, but I’m just not there yet.

The alcohol hits me on the walk over and I should not have drank so much.

Did Teddy really go to sleep? I look at my phone again. I have a bunch of missed messages. I hadn’t felt my phone going off. Shit.

Cum Caller: i dn’t orgasm when i shit!

Cum Caller: thats not wut i said

Cum Caller: where did u go?

Cum Caller: i was the 1 going to bed

Cum Caller: u cant be ignoring me i was ignoring u

Cum Caller: ? did u fall into a manhole

I try not to laugh because I don’t want Tobi to notice.

Cuddle Snake: I fell into a manhole. I live with the gators now.

I can’t help myself.

We get to Wolfe’s and are greeted by the guys. I shove my phone back into my pocket.

More drinks are pushed into our hands and we’re introduced to a bunch of bunnies. My phone vibrates in my pocket over and over, but I can’t whip it out while I’m with the guys. There isn’t a good moment. I try to leave for the bathroom, but I’m grabbed by another teammate to talk about my goal.

Finally, I make a break for it and slip out the door, pulling my phone out only to slam into a wall of a person.

I stumble back, muttering an apology, when his face comes into view. “Teddy? What are you doing here?”

“I thought you were in a manhole!”

I slap a hand over my mouth, holding back a laugh. “I was joking.”

“How would I have known that!? You stopped responding.” He looks pretty adorable standing there in his sweats with his hair a mess.

I shouldn’t be so attracted to him right now. It’s hot he came all the way here to check on me…and why do I want it to keep going? “You know what jokes are, right?”

“Falling into a manhole isn’t funny! That’s a real thing that happens to people. They get eaten by gators!”

“Is it?” I take a step closer.

“It is! I was really worried the gators would get you.” Concern is written all over his face.

I shove him backward.

“What are you doing?” he asks but I don’t answer, not wanting anyone to hear us.

I get him out of view of the door and into the alley, needing a round two. I pin him against the brick, and he finally gets the idea when I brush my lips over his.

“Oh!”

“Want to make all those noises for me again?”

“The shitting ones?” he mutters.

“Don’t fucking lie to me,” I growl, gripping him through his pants.

He whimper-yells, thrusting into my hand. “How much did you hear?”

“I didn’t hear my name.”

He searches my face. “Do you want me to say it?”

“Yes.” I roll my hand over his cock, through his pants.

“Rhys,” he moans and I drink it from his lips.

“I want you on your knees.”

“Here?” His voice is panicked.

“No. Come back to my dorm.” I fist my hand in his shirt, dragging him away from the wall.

My phone buzzes again, but I don’t check it. It’s probably Tobi wondering where I am, and I can’t exactly tell him what I’m doing. We get to the street and I look both ways.

“Fuck.”

“Do you not know how to get back to your dorm?”

“No. Manhattan confuses me.” I grab my phone, about to map it, when Teddy takes my hand, dragging me down the street.

“It’s this way.”

“How do you know?”

“Tobi is at your dorm enough. I see his location.”

I glance over at him. “You stalk your brother?”

“He has my location, too. He just doesn’t look at it. It’s in our family share.” Teddy turns again and I recognize the street.

“Is that how you knew where I was at?” Weirdly I like it.

“I thought Tobi might have an idea of where he lost you to a manhole.”

I laugh, using my phone to scan into the building.

Once we’re in the elevator, he corners me, poking a finger into my chest. “That wasn’t nice.”

“No. It wasn’t, was it?” I fight a grin still glad I have him here.

Teddy shakes his head.

“I guess I’ll have to make it up to you,” I whisper rubbing my nose over his.

“I think you should.” He nips at my lip, pressing his hips into mine.

I indulge him, rubbing us together, while grabbing his ass to get more friction.

“Come on.” I shove him back when the door dings. We stumble down the hallway to my room at the end.

“Wait, don’t you have a roommate?”

“I do, but he’s out. So it will be a while.” I get the door open and reach into my laundry, putting a sock on the knob. We hadn’t talked about such things, but I’m sure he’ll get the idea. I close and deadbolt it, then turn on Teddy as I grab my jersey by the back of the neck, pulling it off. I’m not letting that get between us again. I cast it aside. “Get on your knees.”

His gaze draws down my body, hungry. “I thought I was getting an apology.”

I grip my cock through my jeans, accentuating the outline. “This is your apology.”

He lifts his brows but lowers down. “What about my dick?”

“You already came tonight.”

Teddy’s expression darkens. “I was ready to fight gators for you!”

I open the button on my jeans, then slowly lower the zipper. “You don’t want it?” I drag down my boxers and brush my fingers through the pre-cum pooling at my tip. “Because if you don’t want it…”

He swallows hard. “I want it. More than I want to meet a snow person.”

“If you keep talking, I’m going to shut you up with my cock.”

A glint flickers in his eyes. “Shut me up then.”

I don’t give it to him right away. I want to make him suffer a little for pushing my buttons, so I rub my tip over his lips. He tries to take it into his mouth, but I pull back. “I’m in control.”

His lip pulls up in a snarl. “I’m the one you put in emotional distress!”

I secretly love the attitude. “I can put my cock away and jack you off if you don’t want it.”

Teddy hisses. “No.”

“So I’m in control, yes?”

“Yes.”

I let him have my tip, and my eyes nearly roll back in my head. But I force them to stay open, needing to watch him swallow me. He moans around my dick, lips stretched wide around my girth. He looks so fucking good on his knees.

My phone buzzes in my pocket, a call coming through. It’s got to be Tobi wondering where I went.

What the fuck am I doing? If Tobi finds out, he’s going to kill me.

But I don’t stop. I pull it out and ignore the call, tossing it on my bed before shoving my hand into his hair, feeding Teddy more of my cock. He takes it like such a good boy, looking up at me with his big brown eyes. I nearly come right there.
