Yep.
Gene wasn’t done being fucked.
The law was about to take a turn.
Chapter Seventeen
The Condo
Seven A.M.
Sunday Morning
Well, that had aged him prematurely. Gene had been almost positive that the jig had been up, and Gabe was going to be getting a phone call from thePhiladelphiapolice regarding the two men.
Thankfully, it hadn’t been the cops, but everyone’s favorite masked Marine who had knocked on the door of Ethan’s ride. When Gene saw it was him, he wanted to kiss the man.
Maybe that was the drugs talking, but someone had saved his ass. He was in no position to be driving, and the man didn’t want two drugged up nuts wandering around on his watch.
So he drove them back to the condo, and helped them upstairs.
Wasn’t Greyson shocked when he opened the door and found the two of them looking like they’d been run through the ringer?
Thankfully, he didn’t ask questions.
That was for all of their benefit. The less they knew about each other’s kinks, the better off the friendship would be.
All Gene knew was that he managed to get Ethan to bed, and the two of them collapsed in it.
Home.
Sweet.
Home.
Because he was worried about them, Greyson stayed on the couch, and Corbin was asleep in the spare room.
Now, he was wide awake thanks to the wind whipping wickedly outside the condo.
As he lay there, he was taking in the silence of the bedroom to piece together their evening.
What Gene did know for a fact was that he had a killer headache, and his dick hurt.
Honestly, he wasn’t going to complain about either since they were home safe. The job hadn’t gone to shit until the last asshole, so he’d call that a win.
On top of that, at least Ethan had only been climbing on him after the situation went down.
As the Marine drove them home, Gene had been scared shitless that Ethan would try to climb all over the stranger, but that had been anything but the case.
He controlled himself, for the most part. Oh, he’d groped the hell out of him, but it was lowkey.
Now, as he looked over, his mate was sleeping peacefully, and in the daylight, it was evident that two men shouldn’t go shit wild on each other. There were bites and hickies everywhere.
Ehhh, who was he kidding?
It was well worth it.
When Ethan slowly opened his eyes, sensing that he was being watched, Gene saw that they were clear.
