“I mean, if that’s your kink, what can daddy buy his sugar baby?”
He snorted.
“No, it doesn’t bother me. I’m not nobility. For a kid who came from nothing, I think I did pretty good. Your wealth doesn’t hurt my masculinity. Oh, and I’d like two one-way tickets back to the US—since you’re asking, Sugar Daddy.”
Poe was just about on the verge of doing it.
“As for the plan to buy it and give it to Von, is that an option? As you can see, I don’t need it. That’s the family’s money. I have my own too.”
Gamble considered it.
“I mean, I can access the funds if that’s a good plan,” he stated. “It won’t take long to do it if you show me how to buy cryptocurrency. I’m not tech savvy.”
Gamble said nothing.
Poe wasn’t sure if he was considering it, or he was getting ready to freak out.
“If that’s not an option, how about buying a private island where I can watch you sunbathe nude? Asking for an already nervous man.”
Gamble started laughing.
“I mean, I tan well. I’m half-Native, so I won’t get sunburn like you will.”
Yes, yes, he was, and Poe was infinitely grateful for that every second of the day. The man was gorgeous, and he loved looking at his very sexy cheekbones.
God.
He could do that all day on that fictitious island they should buy.
“Again, I’m not worried about your wealth, and no, we’re not giving it to that assclown so more soldiers can die. He’d kill us anyway.”
Well, damn.
Instead of saying anything more, and since he was nervous, Poe kissed his man. It helped him steady his nerves.
When he broke it, Gamble grinned.
“I mean, more of that would be nice.”
Poe had to remind him.
“We should keep looking since time is running out,” he said. “Plus, I’ve managed to avoid discussing our money.”
Gamble stopped him.
“Our?”
Poe knew this might go bad. He knew about Gamble’s past and his childhood of poverty. His life was anything but that.
He came from privilege.
Nobility.
Poe Seville Gordon never had to work a day in his life if he didn’t want to, and while he knew how much Gamble was worth, he’d worked damn hard for it.
If his everyday life as a Hunter was like this chaos, he deserved millions more.
“Well, once you put a ring on it, Mr. Holloway. You just bought the cow, the milk, and the farm. It’s your problem then too. Welcome to nobility. Talk about sticking it to the colonizers.”
