Jacobs may hate me, but I love it when he snaps at me. And that scowl? At first I thought I liked it because I’m an attention whore and I didn’t care what form it came in. Now I’m wondering if I like it because it makes him look … gorgeous.

Okay, and maybe, just maybe, part of me hopes he did it as some sort of gesture that things are changing between us. Like we could be friends. Or … more—

When he shifts again, I can feel him. He’s hard. I have to force myself to avoid looking down. I’m mesmerized by the thought that he’s hard for me. “Fuck this.” I close the gap and touch my lips to his.

“I liked kissing you, okay! It was hot, and it made me hard, and I swear I’ve jerked off so much to the thought of it, I was worried my dick would fall off. I wanted to see if it was a fluke.”

I wonder if I should freak out about kissing a man, but either that’s coming tomorrow or I’ve questioned my sexuality enough times that this seems completely normal.

“We’re doing that again,” Beck says. “What?” I pull back a little so I can see his expression, but bad move. Because now I’ve seen his orgasm face, it’s all I can picture. He nods and pushes forward until he’s rolled me onto my back. “Yeah. Again, and again, and again …”

“You don’t wanna shower?” I nod to the mess left on his chest. Beck laughs and picks up my shirt to clean it off. “Wouldn’t want to wash your scent off me, big guy. Not after you went to all that effort of claiming me.”

“Tomorrow night?” Jacobs snorts. “Depends on how much you piss me off tomorrow.” I pause. “Wait, I don’t know what that means. With normal people, I’d assume it means not to piss you off, but as we’ve established you like it when I make you mad. So …”

He throws one of his pillows at me, but I duck out of the way. “See, I’m so confused. Is that flirting or telling me to go away?” He glares at me. “Okay, that’s more straightforward.”

I’ve been on my best behavior all day because there’s a fine line between riling Jacobs up and him wanting to murder me. My newfound enjoyment of manhandling does have some limits. Rough sex, good. Murder, bad.

He goes to walk off, but I grab the sleeve of his jersey to stop him. I lower my voice. “Am I coming over tonight?” His gaze darts down the chute, and he bites his lip. I want to offer to bite it for him.

We head down the corridor to the locker room, but just before crossing over the threshold, I stop and shove Jacobs forward. “What the f—” “Oops. I guess I have to pay now.”

How Grant went four years in a locker room surrounded by dicks without getting hard I’ll never know. I’m only interested in one dick, and knowing it’s only twenty feet away, my cock is trying to reach out like a homing beacon.

“Who was she, then?” I say, still fighting like hell not to smile. “No one special.” He cocks his head. “Wasn’t even that good, actually.” I burst out laughing because I know for a fact that’s bullshit.

“I’m fully kinky. BDSM. Whips, chains … ball gags.” He eyes me skeptically. “Okay, fine, I watch a lot of porn, okay?” “More believable. Though the image of you with a ball gag in your mouth so you can’t talk is really appealing. Like … it might actually be the hottest thing my mind has ever conjured.”

“What, you scared? What happened to ‘it’s so small you can’t even see it’? Different story now it’s going down your—” I cover the head with my mouth to shut him up. It works. Well, it changes the topic anyway. “Holy fucking, shit fucking fuck.”

Jacobs tries to hide a smile but fails, and when our order is called, he’s quick to jump up to get it. I assume he moves fast so he either doesn’t insult me or doesn’t admit that he wants another night too.

“Aww, Baby.” I wipe a tear off her cheek. A throat clears beside us. All the guys in the booth are watching in confused fascination. All except Jacobs, who’s flicking his cold gaze between the both of us.
