Page 25 of A New Chapter
Colton appeared literally close to tears. “I wasreallylooking forward to it, Master,” he said in a soft voice that hit Rom’s ear wrong.
When Rom made him look up—yep, there were tears in Colton’s eyes.
Rom sat up and moved to make room for him on the bed, patting the mattress next to him. “Come here, baby,” he said. “It’s okay.” He snuggled Colton in his arms. “I’m sure Chad will laugh when I tell him about this. He’ll probably say it’s the Universe getting me back for all the times I cock-blocked him and Ina in the early days.”
That finally earned him a snort from Colton.
“There’s my boy.” Rom kissed him. “How about we—”
The power came back on, to a chorus of audible cheers from the grannies downstairs.
Whew!“There,” Rom said, once again swinging into position astride Colton. He leaned in and kissed him, hoping to get Colton’s mind back in a sexy mood.
Rom laced fingers with him and pinned Colton’s hands to the bed over his head, something almost guaranteed to get his boy in the mood, and—
The power went off, accompanied by a chorus of disappointed sounds from the grannies downstairs.
“Oh,comeon!” Colton screamed.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Colton was now upset, Rom would be laughing his ass off at this uncontrollable sadism.
Except it was hitting both of them. “Do you want to go to a hotel? We don’t have to pick Clayton up for a couple of hours. Or, I have the key to Chad and Ina’s. I can call them and ask if we can use their guest room.”
“No, I don’t want to spend the money,” he muttered. “And, no offense,hellno to using Chad and Ina’s. Why not just ask Aunt Roberta if we can shag intheirguest room?”
“Ew.”
“Exactly. I mean, I love them, you know I do, but—”
“Yeah, I get it.” Rom rolled off him and stared up at the ceiling. “I’m sorry, baby.”
“It’s not your fault, Master.” He sat on the edge of the bed. “I guess we might as well take our shower. At least we’ll have water.”
“Oooh.” An idea hit Rom. He sat behind Colton, nibbling on the side of his neck. “How about some super-quiet shower sex, baby?”
Colton grumbled, but turned his head to kiss him. “I’ll go get the LED lantern from under the kitchen sink and meet you there.”
Chapter Nine
Colton knew he’d probably look back on this afternoon and, in the retelling, laugh his ass off.
Today wasnotthat day.
Tomorrow wasn’t looking so hot, either.
He found the LED lantern under the kitchen sink and, fortunately, experienced no additional sadism, like the batteries being dead or any bullshit like that.
Thankfully.
He switched it on and carried it back to the bathroom, where Rom awaited him.
“Let me get those off you, baby,” Rom said as he motioned, indicating Colton’s collar and cuffs.
Colton sighed. “Again.”
Rom smiled. “Again.” He pulled Colton in for a kiss. “Love you.”
“Love you, too, Master.”
