“Nooo,” Gordon yells, and then I hear the splash. Running outside, I’m in time to see both of them climbing from the pool.
“Dude, my phone’s in my pocket,” Gordon complains, and Harrison laughs pointing to the grass.
“Mine’s good, I tossed it before I tackled you.”
Harrison begins to climb out, too, but Gordon shoves him with one hand, and he topples in again.
Laughing, he makes his way back to the edge. “Your phone will be fine. Those things can get wet now, right?” Harrison says, trying attempt number two of climbing out of the water. As hepushes up, it’s suddenly like he’s moving in slow motion, and I can’t help but stare at the way his shirt clings to his body and highlights his god-like chest and arms.
Gordon’s fuming. “I haven't upgraded in five years. I doubt this phone has any water protection.”
“Then you were due for an upgrade anyway. You’re welcome.”
I can see Gordon’s face, Harrison can’t, and I try to throw him a look so that he knows it’s probably good to stop there, but I don’t think he notices.
“Your pool is freezing. Want to grab me a towel?
Gordon starts trudging toward the house, shaking the water off his phone.
“I should make you drive home all wet. Serve you right.”
“Aww, don’t be like that,” Harrison says, following him into the house.
Gordon strips off his shirt and throws it into the kitchen sink.
“Fine, you can shower in the guest room,” he says, stomping up the stairs. “I’m going to bed. Arlo, be ready at six to head to the field, okay?”
“I will be,” I reply. As soon as he’s out of sight, Harrison grabs my arm and pulls me in for a deep kiss. His chest pressed hard, cold and wet against mine.
“I’ve wanted to do that all night,” he whispers as he pulls away. “I can’t remember, does this guest bathroom have a lock?”
I smile. “Even better, it has an adjoining door to my bedroom.”
“Amazing, I like to air dry and your bedroom sounds like the perfect place to do that.”
“You want to walk around my bedroom naked while you dry off?”
“Do you have a problem with watching me walk around naked?”
I lean in close, press up on my toes, and whisper in his ear. “I have a problem with you expecting me to just watch. If your ass is going to be out, you can bet I want to do more than stare at it.”
“Ohh, what did you have in mind?”
“Everything, but we’re going to have to keep it down. Do you think you can manage that?”
“That might be a challenge. You might have to gag me.”
He winks, then heads for the stairs before I can respond and strips off his shirt on the way.
We’re so going to get caught.
I show him to the guest room, locking its door to the hallway on our way through. I really should swap rooms and stay in here, at least with a lock Gordon won’t accidentally walk in on me, or me and Harrison.
“The bathroom is through here,” I say, leading the way inside before remembering, he probably already knows that. He’s been to Gordon’s place a bunch before, just not when I’ve been here.
The bathroom has a large walk-in shower and a big bathtub, which is why, when he built this place and asked Noah and me to choose our rooms, I chose this one. Noah has his en suite, but it only has a small shower. This is so much better, and Gordon rarely has anyone stay in the guest room anyway.
“Maybe a bath would be better, my muscles are all sore from training,” Harrison says, stretching his arms out at the sides and then flexing his biceps. It’s fucking hot as hell, and I would love to see him lying back in the tub, bubbles soaping up his toned hard body.
