Our pants filled the silence of the room, and wave after wave of pure relaxation rolled over me. Drew’s hole spasmed around my spent cock. In the quiet room, the only sounds were our gasps and pants.

Drew clutched me close when I made a move to get off him, so I ended up collapsed on him while I pressed him into the mattress.

“I’m boneless,” he murmured against my neck.

“I am now.”

He huffed a small laugh, which I claimed as a win.

“You good?”

“Mmmm.”

“Does that mean yes?”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah what?”

“Yeah, Daddy.”

“Best boy in the world.”

Drew

“Hey, Drew. Thanks for taking my call.”

“No problem. I was kind of surprised when Henry said that you’d asked for my phone number.” I couldn’t even begin to imagine why Marc, Henry’s brother, would need to talk to me urgently.

“The thing is, I have a huge favor to ask, and I wouldn’t blame you if you said no, but I got to thinking about who I could ask, and honestly, you were the first and only person who popped into my head.”

Something that felt close to pride—which would be beyond silly given the circumstances—settled over me. I’d spent twenty years doing everything I could to remain useful, wanted, and kept.

Truthfully, everything I’d done had been interchangeable with some other person, and in hindsight, the men I’d dated hadn’t had any trouble at all disposing of me. But I knew for certain that wasn’t what Marc wanted, so I was clueless as to what it was he thought only I could do for him.

“I can try. What do you need help with?”

“You remember my son? Ben?”

“Of course. Is he okay?”

“Yeah, yeah, he’s fine. It’s just that his preschool is going on a trip to the aquarium, and I have to chaperone. Except I can’t because I have a client who’s in a bad way, and I have to be with them during an audit. The state isn’t willing to reschedule the audit, and I can’t abandon my client.”

“Okay…” I was at a loss as to how he thought I could help him. It wasn’t going to be sitting with his client because that would be weird. “Uh, that sounds complicated, but I’m not sure how I can help you with any of it.”

“Henry can’t do it because he has some sort of big deal happening this week and has been in meetings nonstop. He said it was likely going to continue until next week.”

“Yeah, I haven’t seen him at all myself this week, but I have gotten the occasional late-night text.”

“I’m sure he’s pretty bummed about that.”

“Do you think so?”

I wasn’t trying to be coy, but it probably sounded like I was. Every part of me wanted Henry to miss me because I certainly missed him. Over the last couple of days, he’d been too busy to text or call, let alone get together, but hearing Marc say it felt a lot like validation, and lord knew I needed that.

“Gotta tell you, Drew, I think you underestimate how much my brother likes you.”
