“Only a million?”

Erica laughed. “Hurry up and come home so you can meet him.”

“Not long now,” Rory said softly.

Sebastian was waiting at the gate, arms folded, smug smile spreading his lips, and towels thrown over his shoulder.

“We’ve got thirty minutes until we’re banged up until dinner. I thought we could hit the gym.”

“Sounds good.”

“Ollie and Teddy are already there,” Sebastian said, leading the way. “I want to see what Captain taught you.”

Rory frowned but continued to follow him.

The second they stepped into the gym, Sebastian tugged off his tank top and threw it over a bench.

Rory averted his gaze, then peeked a look. Rory’s eyes were dragged down to the firm skin under Sebastian’s belly button, the slant of his hips, and the vein that disappeared under his waist band. He’d seen it all before, but it still made his mouth dry. Sebastian was hot as hell.

His abdominals twitched as he waited for Rory to finish admiring him.

“Show me what you can do,” Sebastian mumbled as he pointed to the mat.

Rory shook his head. “I can’t do anything.”

“Sure you can.”

He stepped closer, grabbed Rory’s hands, then put them to his chest. “Come on, Rory, show me.”

A blush built in his face—even his ears started to feel like they were burning up. He kept his hands where Sebastian had placed them, one on either of his pectorals. They were hard and warm, with fuzzy chest hair caressing his palms. Sebastian’s body did it for Rory, and the twinkle in Sebastian’s eyes said he knew.

“What’s the problem?” Sebastian murmured. “Touch me, grab me, try to throw me down.”

Sebastian grinned, then took Rory’s hands and put them on his waist. “Here, see if you can get me from here, wrap your arms around me, take me to the floor. Or how about you get a hold of my neck?”

Sebastian gripped Rory’s wrists, brushed them up his chest, then encouraged Rory’s arms around his neck. Rory was close enough to smell him. His skin was hot, and their chests pressed together.

“Rory, are you broken?” Ollie muttered from across the room.

He blinked. “No, I’m…”

Trying not to get an erectiondidn’t seem an appropriate response.

Sebastian grabbed him, tripped him, then pinned him to the mat. The air left Rory’s lungs in a whoosh, and his eyes watered at the breathless feeling in his chest. Then he forgot every mild pain and focused on the one between his legs. He was hard, and his cock was trapped and uncomfortable. Sebastian was on top of him, and their faces were inches apart, their mouths were close to touching. Rory wanted Sebastian to kiss him as much as he wanted to be fucked by him.

Sebastian raised his eyebrow. “Captain didn’t teach you very well if I can pin you that easy.”

Rory didn’t reply. He was too busy trying to breathe, but his body wasn’t cooperating. Sebastian’s eyebrows tugged together at Rory’s shallow panting.

“I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

“No,” Rory mumbled, then licked his lips. “I’m all right.”

Sebastian smiled, then went to get up, but Rory grabbed hold of him. “Wait.”

“Wait?”

“Yeah, just for a second.”
