“I would say that he did swallow him whole,” I observed.
“Jeeezus,” Noah huffed.
“I know what you mean, bro,” I said. “But Nelson hasn’t done or said anything that makes me think we need to warn Jace. He’s been a perfect gentleman and if he was anymore gentlemanly, he’d have manga hearts and bubbles floating out of his head when he stared at Jace. We just have to hope that Nelson realizes what kind of situation Jace is in.”
“And when did we start hanging out with Nelson Fucking Powers?”
I lifted my eyebrows. “Since one of our best friends works for him on a regular basis, N. He and Marcus are actual friends, you realized that.”
Noah took a deep breath. “Yup. Right. Got it.”
“Go home, man. Take a shower, take a nap. Are you coming to the opening tonight?”
“Am I?”
“Your ticket is waiting at the box office,” I answered.
“I’ll be there.”
Slapping backs, he took off down the hall to the elevator, followed by Chase and Marcus. Bryce left first, then Hailey. But they were kidding themselves if they were going to try to keep that on the down low.
Luis, Grant, and Taylor all left with Angela about half an hour later. They were nice enough to help us clean up everything. Every bed Austin owned had been used the night before. Some of them more than just slept in.
“Gross,” Grant said, balling up the sheets from the bed in the sitting room.
“Not as gross as this!” Taylor screamed from where Bryce and Hailey had been earlier.
“Please,” Luis said from Jace and Nelson’s room. “They had already stripped and balled up the sheets in this one.”
“Foul!” Grant called. “But then again, Nelson Powers. You’d might even get me batting for the other team to get into bed with that man. He has a body.”
I stepped into the doorway and struck a pose. “So do I.”
Grant choked on his laugh. “Nope. Still straight. Sorry, dude.”
I huffed and flounced away as best I could. And I flounced right into Austin. “I could be persuaded,” he said. After I tossed a quick glance back in the room, Austin shrugged. “They know. They’ve always known. I’d trust them with my life.”
I grabbed a belt loop and pulled him close. “What does it take to persuade you?”
“Just the promise of another one of those magnificent blow jobs.” He pressed his lips to mine.
Threading my fingers into his hair, I held him there so I could kiss him this time, tasting him and teasing him. Pressed against me, I could feel his cock plump up against mine. I wanted to go so much further than just a blow job and some amazing kisses. I wanted lay Austin out on the bed and just feast on him.
“Gross,” Grant whispered as he walked out of the room.
“Guys,” Taylor called from the kitchen. “Between Bryce and Austin, we need to get us some pretty little things to quench our thirst.”
Angela smacked him upside the head.
“Sorry, sorry,” he said. “We need to find some lovely ladies who would be delighted to be by our sides and support us in good and bad.”
“That’s better,” she said.
“You’re just thirsty!” Austin yelled at them.
“There’s juice in the fridge,” Angela snapped.
We all cracked up laughing, and Austin tucked his head into my shoulder. “Make them leave. I want to be naked with you.”
