“I’m the boss,” Gideon reminded with a wink. “I can change things up now and then.”
Harris stared at him. “Oh. But…” he frowned. “I mean, after what happened with your last cameraman…”
Gideon shook his head. “You’re not him. And I’m not going to punish you for his crimes against my boys—who, in fact, are quite fond of you. Any one of them would jump at the chance to get you in front of the camera.”
“Wow.” Harris laughed quietly, stunned. “I…I never thought…”
Gideon patted his shoulder and smiled. “Well, think about it and we’ll talk later.”
Harris nodded, his eyes slowly brightening. “Yeah,” he breathed. “I’ll definitely think about it.”

Sean was unsteady on his feet when he and Zach descended the main staircase. His legs felt like rubber and he welcomed the support of Zach’s body as the guy walked with his arm around Sean’s shoulders.
All conversation and activity ceased when they entered the rec room. The other boys stared at Sean in silence, faces filled with anticipation. The twins broke first, squealed, and ran over to Sean, throwing their arms around him.
“How was it?”
“Did it feel good?”
Before he could answer, the first one piped up again – “It did! We told you it would!”
Sean laughed and nodded, releasing a long breath. “Yeah, it did. You were right.”
The two boys were ecstatic, clinging to him. “You’re gonna stay for a while, right?” Marcus asked hopefully. “Please?”
“He is,” Zach confirmed and winked at Sean.
“Yay!” the twins cried out and hugged him harder.
“How much longer?” Lucas ventured toward Sean, holding a pool stick. He cocked one eyebrow, his eyes churning with desire. “Dayslonger?”
Sean swallowed and nodded. “Yeah.”
The twins squealed again. Marcus grinned. “You’re gonna get fuckedso much.”He squinted cutely. “You can sleep in our room.”
The other guys burst into laughter.
Sean cleared his throat and laughed. “Well…uh…okay.” Spending an entire night with the twins?Fuck yeah.
“Maybe I was going to invite him to sleep inmyroom,” Lucas countered.
Mickey shook his head. “Bailey’s coming home tonight.”
“So?” Lucas smirked. “I have a big bed.”
“Nope.” Marcus grinned and squeezed Sean. “He’s ours tonight.”
Lucas scowled, his eyes twinkling. “You two are spoiled rotten.”
The twins giggled and nodded, not even attempting to deny it.
“So…” Zach walked over and leaned against the pool table. “What’re you going to tell your friends? Anything?”
Sean sighed and shrugged. “I…I don’t know yet.”
“Be gay with us,” Marcus pleaded playfully. “It’sfunto be gay.”
