“Beck, we don’t have to hide either.”
I scoffed. “Really? How do you think Dad will take that?”
“I don’t know.” I reached for his hand, held it between both of mine. “I know you’re afraid of the fallout, but Dad isn’t like Craig. He thinks of you as a son too.”
“Thinks of me as one,” Beck said, a hint of bitterness to his voice. “But I’m not one. I thought Craig loved me, and when his marriage to my mom ended, I was nothing to him. Invisible. He wanted nothing to do with me. He was the only father I knew before yours, and he bailed on me.”
“Come here.” I drew him into my arms and hugged him tight. “That’s not going to happen again. Potters don’t let go.”
I squeezed even tighter to emphasize my point and he gave a strangled chuckle.
When I released him, I cupped his jaw so that he could look me in the eye and see how serious I was. “I know my dad was upset over Vegas, and I have no idea how he’ll take the idea of us being in a relationship. I believe he’ll come around even if he gets mad.” Beck started to open his mouth to protest, so I rushed on, “But I know you’re worried, and that’s fair. Let me just tell you this, Beck. I have your back. I’m your partner, if you’ll have me, and where you go, I go. So if Dad were to react badly, if he were to try to take it out on you, well, he’d have to get through me first, okay?”
“But this isn’t just about what it might cost me. If he finds out before he gives you the business, he might decide he doesn’t want his legacy in the hands of stepbrother husbands. What then?”
“I can’t believe he’d really do that.”
“You didn’t think he’d give you an ultimatum over a prank, either, did you?” Beck challenged. “Maybe we should wait until everything with the business is settled.”
“Who knows when that will be?” I countered. “I don’t want to put our relationship on his timeline, and we can’t ask Andi to cover for us. That wouldn’t be fair.”
His shoulders slumped. “Yeah, you’re right. But, Wes…this could cost you everything.”
“Not everything,” I said firmly. “We’re in this together. And whatever happens, we’ll figure it out together.”
Beck’s voice trembled. “Are yousureyou want to take that risk?”
“For you? Absolutely. One hundred percent.”
He nodded once, a determined expression overtaking the vulnerable look in his eyes. “Then we need to figure out a plan for how we want to make this happen.”
I quirked a smile. “There’s my Beck.”
“But first, I need to fuck you because you’ve got me all wound up and I can’t think straight.”
I laughed. “I’ll let you pin me down and do whatever you want.”
CHAPTER22
WES
Beckett ledme to his bedroom since my bed was broken and smacked my ass. “Get naked for me.”
My heart lurched. This was happening, then. I’d offered up my body for Beck’s taking, and I was open to any kind of sex with him, but still…never really had anything in my ass before.
I stripped down and climbed onto the bed on my hands and knees. “How do you want me?”
My dick was still soft, maybe a little nervous about this endeavor. My balls hung heavy between my legs. Something about this position made me feel vulnerable and exposed, but this was for Beckett, and I’d give him anything he wanted.
There was the soft shushing sound of Beck removing his clothes. When his hand touched my lower back, I jolted, my nerves getting the better of me.
“Relax, I’m not going to jump you without warning.”
I chuckled. “Right. I know.”
Beckett pushed my hip, knocking me off-balance, then rolled me to my back. I didn’t fight him. I’d agreed to let him pin me, after all. But when he hovered over me, his hands pressing my arms into the mattress, he frowned.
“It’s not as much fun if you just let me pin you.”
