Ryan chuckled. “Well, Martin was more convinced than I was. I just thought it was hero worship.”

“Hero worship?”

“He swept in and saved you, didn’t he?”

Bobby hadn’t thought of it like that, but Gabriel had saved him. That’s not what this was, though. If it was just admiration, then why did he get hard when Gabriel talked about what he liked in bed, or when Bobby was alone thinking about doing those things to him?

“I think I’ve got feelings for him,” said Bobby.

“You think?”

“I wasn’t sure, but then he was on a date with another guy tonight and I didn’t like it.”

“Ah, the old green-eyed monster. That’ll do it.”

“And now he’s gone off with Sergio and fuck knows what they’re doing.”

“I think you know what they’re doing.”

“That’s not helping, Ryan.”

“Who’s Sergio, anyway?”

“A fucking sex god, that’s who he is.”

Ryan cracked up laughing.

“It’s not funny.”

“I’m gonna need a bit more information than that.”

“He’s a senior associate at work.”

“Gabriel is with a guy you work with?”

“Yeah, and he’s more senior, and earns more money, and looks more manly, and has more experience with men, and has probably got a twenty-inch dick or something.”

Ryan laughed again.

“What am I going to do?”

“Do you want to be in a relationship with Gabriel, or just fuck him?”

“I . . . I don’t know. I’ve never thought about being with a guy before until him. I even watched gay porn.”

“Gay porn or bi porn?”

“Bi porn at first, but then I switched to see if I could get turned on. I think it’s just him, though, but I don’t want to make a move and he rejects me.”

“He will not reject you.”

“How the fuck do you know?”

“That guy has been besotted with you for two years.”

“What? How do you know that?”

“I have eyes. I mean, I get it. Every gay guy has pined for a straight guy at some point.”
