Rolling to his side, Myles propped his head in his hand. “That’s sort of hot. Hurry back.”

“I will.” I strode to the door, opened it, and listened. The house was quiet, so Ace and Zoma must not be back yet.

After cleaningup and bringing a warm, wet washcloth to Myles, I laid beside him in bed, under the covers, and watched him wipe himself clean. “All done?”

“Yeah.” He tossed the washcloth on the floor and covered himself with sheets and the comforter. “Now, where were we?” He snuck his arm under my neck and hugged me against his side.

As I rested my cheek on his chest, I skimmed my hand down his rippled abs and over his flaccid dick. “Do you mind?” I loved the feel of it in my hand.

“I don’t mind.” He tightened his hold on me. “But are you going to do that all night?”

Wrapping my fingers around his shaft, warming the cool skin, I said, “Don’t know yet.” I nuzzled his neck and breathed in the spicy scent of him. I wouldn’t question my weirdness tonight. It felt right, and that was all that mattered. What two consenting adults did in the privacy of their own home?—

“Cooper.” He kissed the top of my head. “When do you want to come out to your family?”

Lifting onto an elbow, I focused on him. “I don’t know yet.” Were we boyfriends now? When I told my family about us, I wanted us to be. I wanted them to know how serious I was about Myles and living this lifestyle. “Myles.”

“What?” His gaze searched my face.

“Can we…Could we…would you, uh, would you be my boyfriend?” I winced. I sounded so unsure of myself. But I wasn’t unsure. It’s what I wanted. Him, and only him.

His eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. “Y-yeah, yes.” He nodded, and a smile broke out on his face. “Yes, I would love to be your boyfriend, Cooper.” Grabbing the back of my head, he brought our lips together, kissing me gently. As the kiss broke, his eyes glittered in the low light. “You’re my first boyfriend. I never would have thought I’d get this lucky.”

“Shit, I am?” Furrowing my brows, I thought back. All he ever spoke about were dates and hookups. “I’m honored.” I kissed the tip of his nose, emotion blooming in my heart. “And I’m the lucky one.”I love him. I know I do.How could I not?

“So, I spoke with Leo at the game about coming out to my family.” His throat dipped with a hard swallow. “After thinking about it some more, I want to do it after the agent signs me.” His brows twitched. “I think I’ll be more confident then, eh.”

“Sure.” I hated he wasn’t more confident in himself. Chewing my lower lip, I studied him. Where had it come from? “Myles, did your parents not treat you well or something?” He’d mentioned nothing about it in high school.

“No.” He slowly shook his head, pursing his lips. “Maybe I was just born this way.” He drew a deep inhale. “Or maybe it was knowing I was different and hiding who I was from them for so long.” He shrugged. “I don’t know. I’m not a shrink.” His gaze swung to mine, and he gave me a thin-lipped grin. “You never answered my question. When do you want to come out to your family?”

“I don’t know, soon, I suppose.” I left his dick to circle my fingers around his nipple. I guessed I didn’t need to hold itallnight. “Should I plan it or just tell them the next time we talk?”

“Do you want me there?” He lifted his brows.

He’d met them once or twice, when we’d studied at my place. I bit the side of my lower lip. “How about if I talk to them first and have you close by? Then if they take it well, I’ll bring you into the conversation?” Was there a normal protocol for this?

“Okay. I’ll be in the background if you need me. How’s that?” He pressed a kiss on my cheek. “Are you nervous about it?”

I dipped my gaze to his chest, the thin tuft of hair between his pecs. “Not really. Am I supposed to be?” Maybe I was too confident in how my parents would react.

With a soft chuckle, he said, “I think most people are a little nervous. But I’m not surprised you’re not.” With a smile, he said, “You let nothing bother you.”

“Guess not.” I snuggled into his side. “Let me talk to Ace and Zoma about Thanksgiving and get that squared away. Then I’ll set a day and time to come out to them when you’re around. Deal?”

“Deal.” He reached over me and shut off the nightstand lamp. “Goodnight, Cooper.”

“Goodnight.” I pushed him to his side and spooned in behind him, my arm draping over his hips and hand wrapping around his dick. The damn thing was my pacifier. I closed my eyes.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

MYLES

The next morning, after satisfying blow jobs in bed with Cooper, because how could we not with him holding my cock all night, I slid on some athletic shorts and met Ace in the kitchen. “What’s for breakfast?” I knew he’d be cooking something.

“Eggs, bacon and bagels?” He set a plate of fresh bagels on the counter. “Look at these bad boys. Picked them up at Costco yesterday.”

“Nice.” I hadn’t known he’d gone shopping. I padded to the coffeemaker and poured a coffee from the carafe. Ace had been busy already. “Where were you and Zoma last night?”
