“I’m going home tomorrow.Getting through that damned court case and sitting Alex down, whether he’s ready to hear it or not, and telling him that it’s time we went our separate ways.”
Kellen believed me.I could see it in his eyes.
Fuck, did I want to lose myself in him.Nut so far up his ass my cum would drip from him for days.And vice versa.
Instead, I reluctantly tore myself away and returned to the couch and the beer I’d left behind.Hand shaking from adrenaline and desire, I guzzled it down, eyeing Kellen as he slowly put himself together.
“What are you doing for the holiday?”I asked, keeping him on his toes so he wouldn’t get too in his head over what I’d just done or what I’d promised.
“I’ll be at my parents, same as always.”Kellen picked his beer back up and took a swig.“You?”
“I usually spend the day with Alex and his family, but that won’t be happening this year—or ever again.I’ll probably get takeout.”I shrugged when the thought made me feel anything but nonchalant.“Spend the day all by my lonesome.”
He nodded to let me know he’d heard my answer.
I waited, hoping he would extend an invite for me to come back up to be with him and his family for the holiday, but he didn’t.The truth I had nowhere else to go, no family of my own without Alex’s threatened to drag a shroud of darkness over my thoughts, but I pushed it back, needing to stay in the present with the man I hoped to make mine.
Our conversation moved on to what needed to be finished in the bathroom the next day, Kellen’s gaze dropping to my still hard cock more than a dozen times.
I trailed a thumb down my length once, enjoying how he nibbled on his lower lip while watching me.
But I bid him goodnight without initiating anything and disappeared back into the bedroom.I was sure to keep the door open—for the heat of the fireplace, I told myself.
He didn’t take me up on my silent invite to join me in bed, and I didn’t pass out nearly as quickly as I’d done the night before.I felt as though I’d made progress in the way I wanted things to go, but when it came down to it, Kellen held the cards.
I would have to take whatever hand he dealt me.
No matter what though, I wouldn’t fold on him.
Chapter27
Kellen
JJ took extra-long in the shower the next morning, probably emptying his balls.I hadn’t heard a hint of him taking care of himself the night before.If he’d been waiting for me to go into the bedroom and climb aboard after we’d said goodnight, he’d been disappointed.
It was bad enough I’d allowed him to use his tongue to clean my spunk off my body.Sly fucker.I’d been half-blissed out, relaxing in the euphoric feeling that made me never want to move.He’d taken advantage of that fact and helped himself to a little taste.Actually, a big taste.I hadn’t jerked off in a few days and had built up a nice supply.
He swallowed it all except for the one shot that had cooled on my chin.
I’m not sure why he hadn’t gone after that bit too.Had he hoped I would make the next move to bring our mouths closer together?
But then he’d shifted away and did a one-eighty with the conversation, asking about Thanksgiving.Had he been fishing for an invite after telling me he would be all alone this year since he wouldn’t be going to his…whatever Alex still was to him?
Because hewassomething in JJ’s life.Even if JJ thought shit was over with Alex, he had yet to set the man straight.Wasn’t yet free to pursue someone else.
JJ exited the bathroom wrapped only in a towel, and I groaned, quickly looking away.My hand trembled as I poured myself another cup of coffee.We’d already eaten breakfast and were ready to head upstairs to finish the bathroom.He’d stated he needed a hot shower first to ease his aching muscles from the physical labor I’d put him through the day before.
I hardly classified helping me carry a toilet and vanity up the stairs as hard.
Smirking, I headed up to the second floor bathroom, knowing he would join me once he dressed.
We worked in relative peace with only a little bit of sexual energy between us until around three.I made us an early dinner while he showered again and got his shit together so he could hit the road after we ate.
Our meal together proved a quieter affair.I didn’t know what to say to him, and he seemed to feel the same.
But there was nothing to discuss as far as I was concerned.JJ hadn’t stated anything about his heart no longer being owned by Alex, only that it was time for them to go their separate ways.Did that mean his love or at least part of what he had available to give would remain his ex-best friend’s?He’d claimed he would always care about him, but would he continue to love the man?
I wasn’t sure I could live with that.
