Brett’s smile faded. “Joy.”
“Either you want the job or you don’t,” Avery cautioned, eyeing his friend.
“I do,” Brett muttered before leaning back in the seat. “So… how involved is Pierce in the books?”
Avery frowned, casting a look to the side. “Meaning?”
“Is he in the office while you’re there? Looking over your shoulder? How often do you report to him? That kind of thing.”
Avery considered the questions a moment. “At first, I reported to him often. Daily. And then weekly… once he was comfortable with what I was doing and we built trust. Of course, I saw him in the evenings while I waited tables, too.” Avery glanced at Brett, wondering where the guy’s mind was headed. “Why do you ask? Preparing to clean out Pierce’s bank account?”
Brett shrugged. “Just want to know how far up your ass he is so I have some idea of what to expect.”
Avery grinned. “I get the feeling you just might like to have him up your ass.”
Brett’s face grew red again, and Avery’s grin widened.
“Another blush? I think I struck a nerve.”
“I amnotinterested in Pierce.”
The tone of Brett’s voice was familiar. It was the same tone Avery used when he lied about his attraction to Wilder.
Just thinking the man’s name brought images into his mind. His body tightened with need. His heart sped up… his cock jerked.
Heat spread through his body.
This is not the time…
Avery writhed in his seat, trying to give his growing cock some room. A hard-on when the alpha wasn’t even in the room?Ridiculous.
“Simmer down,” Professor MacDonnell announced as he breezed into the classroom. He lowered his briefcase on the room’s desk and faced the packed house. “Ready to get this exam going?”
No.Avery adjusted again, his cock thickening even more. He closed his eyes and tried to get thoughts of Wilder Jaymes out of his mind.
And failed.
“Are you going to take one?”
Avery turned his focus and saw Brett holding a stack of exams. He hadn’t been paying any attention. After taking one, he sent the stack on to the next person in the row.
“You’ll have two hours to finish. No leaving the room. No bathroom breaks. If you need to pee, you’ll turn in your exam and I’ll grade you on what you’ve finished,” the professor said from the front of the room. “No exceptions.”
A drop of slick slid from him and Avery froze. He needed a bathroom…desperately.
No exceptions. He glanced down at his exam packet and knew if he left the room, he’d fail. That wasn’t the way he wanted to go out. But if his slick continued, there was a chance he’d be outed for being an omega.
Fail or imprisonment.
Neither was a great option.
Avery broke open the edge of the exam packet, praying it was a single drop thanks to his short-lived fantasies about Wilder. Biting the inside of his cheek—hard—he focused on the exam and forced thoughts of his alpha out of his mind. Minutes passed that felt like a lifetime. He worked through the exam, only paying slight attention to the questions on the page. More drops slid from him, but they were far spaced. He prayed he could get through the exam without losing it.
Checking his watch, he saw an hour had passed, and he was nowhere near halfway through the questions. Avery pushed forward, barely reading some problems and hoping like hell he was close enough in his answers. When he got to several short essays, he was as brief as possible, whizzing his way through.
By the time the buzzer went off at the front of the class, he still had half a page left. Moving as quickly as he could, he randomly answered a few of the multiple-choice ones, just to give him a one in four shot of getting a few more correct before closing his exam.
Brett rose beside him, and it was then that Avery saw the hoodie rest on the back of his friend’s seat. He grabbed it, rose, and tied it around his waist, to cover any potential wet spots on the back of his pants.
