Walt’s steely glare washed over him as he finished buttoning his pants. “What in the fuck do you want?”

“For you and that wife of yours to leave Noah alone.Forever.Go back to Bumfuck, Tennessee and live out your life. Let Noah live his life without looking over his shoulder, worrying you’re going to grab him.” He grinned, realizing he had Walt by the balls. “Or else I post that video online and let Abbie Lee and the rest of the world see it.”

Walt turned ashen. “That’s blackmail.”

“Yeah, it is. I never thought I’d ever stoop to this level, but I’m not a perfect man.” He glared at Walt. “I can accept my failings, especially when I have damned good reason to stoop.”

“Man? Am I getting this blowjob or not?” came a voice from the other stall.

“Shut up!” Walt roared.

“Fuck this,” the guy said before exiting the stall and glaring at them all. He tucked his cock back into his leather pants and eyed them all before exiting.

Once he was gone, Walt asked, “You set all this up, didn’t you? I bet you sent that guy to me, to tempt me.”

“Nope… we merely got lucky,” Lex said. “You did bad all on your own.”

Walt was silent a moment. From the range of emotions to cross his face, Brody assumed the man was considering his options. “How am I supposed to convince Abbie Lee to let Noah go? Shewon’tsimply walk away. And her family…it’s complicated.”

“That’s not our problem. It’s yours,” Brody said. “If you don’t think you’re up to it.” He glanced at his phone. “I suppose we can help clear up the matter with Abbie Lee herself.”

“No!” Walt cried, holding up his hands. “I had a moment’s weakness… Jesus will forgive me.”

Brody scoffed. “Something tells me Abbie Lee is less forgiving thanHeis.”

“Why in the fuck did you let that woman twist you into something you’re not?” Lex asked Walt. “And then you’re going to let her do the same thing to your son? That’s abuse, man. You’ll go to hellfor that. Not for being gay.”

“Homosexuality is a sin…” Walt started.

“Man, cut that shit in here… especially when you still have the taste of dick in your mouth,” Lex barked.

“A moment of weakness… that’s all. I turned my back on this sinful town and was embraced by a godly place where I can avoid the lure of the devil. Noah forced me back here, and now the sins of this place have sucked me back in. The lure of evil was strong here. This place…” he paused, inhaling. “It stinks of rot.”

“Man, you’re standing near a hole where people shit,” Lex shot back.

Walt paled more and attempted to leave. Both Lex and Brody held him back.

“Do we have a deal?” Brody asked. “Or no?”

“How do I know you won’t show her the video after we leave? I have no guarantees.”

“You’ll have to trust me,” Brody murmured.

“Idon’ttrust you,” Walt snapped.

“Well, if you don’t want to make a deal, I guess I go to Abbie Lee.”

“No!”

Brody grinned. “So…dowe have a deal?”

Walt nodded. “Yes… I’ll figure something out.”

“Figure it out fast,” Brody snapped.

Walt glared. “I will… just… don’t show that to her. She can never see this.”

“Then hold up your end, Walt.” Brody stepped back, giving room for the man to pass.
