“Very.” I swallowed hard, shoving against panic that wanted to rise and shut me down. My fingers itched for Jasper’s to cling to. “He’s…everything to me. A perfect fit for all my needs.”
He barked a laugh. “A cute, needy twink who can’t get enough of your big dick?”
Kellen had most of that right.
“While heissmaller and younger than me—” I attempted a smile “—I’m actually the bottom.”
Kellen blinked, his grin wiped from his face. “What?”
Trying to shrug it off didn’t work. “Being on the receiving end has always been my preference. I actually dislike topping.”
“The fuck, Mason?” Kellen stared. “You’re Elite’s most-wanted daddy. All youdois top!”
“Thank fuck for the endless supply of little blue pills,” I stated bluntly, nervous that Kellen would see me in a different light too.
“Shit.” Kellen chuckled though, easing my tensed insides. “I thought I had you figured out. Does anyone else know?”
“No. It’s nobody’s business but mine. With Elite, Micah took one look at me and cast me into a role he said would bring in the big bucks—and I needed all I could get to help support my sister’s family.”
She was one part of my life Kellenhadbeen aware of, which was why he’d recommended Elite in the first place. Lots of cash for minimal hours worked.
“So Jasper is the daddy in your relationship,” Kellen mused, shaking his head as though still unable to process the bomb I’d dropped.
I rolled my eyes. “You know I’m not into any kinky shit. He’s not my daddy, but he does take care of me. It fulfills a part of him no one has given him the opportunity to do before.”
Kellen studied my face, a soft smile on his lips. “And he does the same for you. Your eyes don’t ever lie.”
“I’m over the fucking moon for him. That’s why this truth I’m keeping from him is killing me.”
“Then you have to tell him, Mason,” Kellen said, his tone low and serious as he leaned onto the table with his elbows, arms crossed. “The sooner the better. Continuing to hide this is only going to fill you with more anxiety. And if Jasper can’t get over that you escorted men around as your means of earning a living, then it would be better if he left now instead of a year down the road when your lives are fully intertwined and your heart would pay the price.”
“That will already happen at this point,” I muttered past the thickness in my throat.
“Then I’ll be here for you to help put the pieces back together in whatever way I can.”
While I appreciated the sentiment, I hoped it wouldn’t come to that.
Chapter16
Jasper
Troy showed up at my office to take me out to lunch. While we hadn’t made plans in advance, I’d been overrun with work from having missed so much and needed a break.
“How are things with you and Mason?” he asked as we settled at a table in a small bistro a few blocks from Humanity House.
Memories of the previous few days swamped my mind, warming me through. I smiled even though I envied Troy’s pink button-down and striped tie I would never have the balls to wear. “Incredible. It’s crazy how well we get along, how smooth everything has gone considering the circumstances behind our meeting.”
“The honeymoon stage is always like that.”
I huffed a snort. “Please. You’ve been with Silas for two years now, and you’re still as in love with each other as when you first figured out that what you felt for one another wasn’t just lust.”
Our waitress interrupted to take our orders, and Troy went right to what we’d been discussing once she moved away.
“Our love hasn’t changed, but as we’ve gotten to know one another better, we’ve realized sharing a life together isn’t just rainbows and unicorns. We’ve had dozens of fights. It’s getting beyond the things that rub us the wrong way and learning how to deal with them that makes for a strong relationship.”
“I’m sure issues will pop up with Mason that annoy me, but we’re so good together,” I insisted, my heart light, my voice earnest. “He’s the only man who has ever let me top in every way, Troy. Helikesgiving me control. It’s something he needs that he’s never had before and vice versa. He looks at me like I’m the best thing since sliced bread. What we have is almost…tooperfect.”
“What do you know about him? His past?” Troy didn’t sound convinced, his pale blue eyes studying my face intently.
