Exasperating (Elite Protection Services #3)

“Go ahead. She won’t stop nagging until you do. She’s powered by gay tears.”

Lol!

I submit that I’m being unfairly targeted and punished not because I fuck our clients but because I just refuse to marry all of them afterward, and honestly, it’s starting to feel a bit like discrimination.”

“Assaulting a police officer? Angel face in there? The kid is the personification of a basket of kittens. What did he assault him with? Kindness?” Linc’s lips twitched as he tried to keep a straight face. “A twelve-inch black dildo known as the ‘hole wrecker.’”

“What makes you two think I’m a virgin?” Charlie gave him a pitying gaze. “Oh, sweetie. If we were villagers, you’d be the first one we’d chuck into a volcano to appease the gods.”

Robby shrugged. “I know what it’s like to be invisible, for nobody to want you. I couldn’t stomach the thought of him living the rest of his life feeling unloved.”

This was his life now. Overrun and bossed around by two twinks and a scary brunette with no filter.

Calder only uttered two words. “I quit.” Then he pressed end and tossed the phone aside, catching Robby’s mouth in a kiss. “If we’re going to do this, we’re going to do it my way. Understand?” Robby nodded eagerly. “I need you to trust me. Can you do that?” “Yes. I trust you.” Calder stared down at him for a long minute. “Fuck, you’re so sweet. I don’t know where you came from, because I don’t deserve you, but I’m glad you’re here. I need you to believe that.” “I do.”

“Wow,” he managed breathlessly. Calder nodded against his shoulder. “Yeah. Wow. I think we’re probably going to need another shower.” “I feel like we’re going to need a crime scene clean up crew,” Robby teased. “‘Cause I murdered that ass?” Calder teased. Robby groaned. “Ugh. Why are you like this?” “I don’t know, but you fell for me, so what does that say about you?” Calder challenged.

I still can’t believe somebody like you would ever even look at somebody like me.” Calder blew air out of his nose. “Stop saying that. How can you not see how fucking special you are? I’ve wanted you since the minute I laid eyes on you and not because you were forbidden fruit and not because you were some innocent little virgin. You are the most beautiful person I’ve ever met, inside and out. You live in the most shallow place in the world, yet you somehow manage to stay sweet and gentle. You adopt unadoptable dogs, and you stay friends with a person even after they hurt you, and you say what’s on your mind even when you’re terrified. People like you never really existed in my world, and I have no idea how we got here but this is where I want to be. You are who I want. Just you. Only you.”

“Nah, baby. All of this started the minute I saw you in that conference room chair, looking like the loneliest boy in the world.” Robby looked up. “I think I was, you know. The loneliest boy. Before you.” Calder took his eyes off the road to drop a kiss on Robby’s forehead. “I think I was, too…before you. But this is one hell of an after we’ve made for ourselves.” It really, really was.
