Beck and I don’t pay each other compliments. We have more of a I scowl at him while he snarks at me kind of relationship. This … isn’t good.

“So tonight, our two bitches—ah, captains—are going to go for a little run.” I force my attention away from Beck and back to Cohen, sure there’s got to be more. “From here to the south parking lot.” He winks at me. “Naked.”

i’m pretty sure that’s considered public indecency

My cock twitches, and I quickly look away. I’ve always been an ass man. It’s a damn pity that particular ass belongs to someone as grating as him. And as, ah, male as him too.

Cohen slowly turns in a circle. “Wait … really? How did you learn how to kiss if not with your best friend?” There are some snickers. “Your best friend is gay, man,” Rossi says. “No, he’s not.” But Cohen suddenly doesn’t sound so sure.

Jacobs legit groans, and it’s the most erotic sound I’ve ever heard. Kissing has never been like this. Kissing is supposed to be anticipation. It’s a teaser.

“I think we’re all a little gay after that. That was hot.” Rossi slaps Cohen’s shoulder. “Still only you, dude.”

“You’re right. I liked it. Wanna know why?” My response clearly takes him by surprise because when I dip my mouth down next to his ear, he doesn’t pull away. “You were finally fucking quiet.” I’m not sure what I’m expecting, but his laughter isn’t it. And when he pinches my chin and turns my face back to his, bright blue eyes shining so close I swear I can see specks of silver in them, I’m the one who’s speechless. “Guess you know what to do next time I’m pissing you off.”

I keep replaying that damn kiss. Jacobs’s lips on mine. His tongue in my mouth. That groan … I’d sell my soul to hear that again. No! Head in the game.

The sliding door opens, and I groan. “Baby, leave us alone,” I murmur against Jacobs’s lips and then keep kissing him. That’s when a throat clears. Definitely not my sister. I turn my head. “Oh, fuck.” There stands my father and mother, my dad’s arms folded across his wide chest, and my mom looking like a wide-eyed Barbie doll. “Oh, fuck indeed,” Dad says.

“Teammate.” He deflates, and where I was expecting it to be from relief, it looks more like disappointment. “Actually,” I say, “he’s … my boyfriend.” Mom throws her arms around him. “Oh, I’m so happy to meet you!”

“Calm down, Theodore. You met me at a Playboy mansion party, for fuck’s sake. Be a little more open-minded. Maybe the reason your son has gone out of his way to piss you off all these years is because he’s gay and needed a different way to show it.”
