Page 25 of The Fall Guy

“That’s a loaded statement.” I give him a pointed look. “We both know I’m gay.”

“Fully into men? You’ve never looked at a chick?” I’m surprised he let me change the subject.

“Well, if it helped me land her boyfriend in the sack, I might.” I shrug with a cheeky smile.

“You’re terrible.” He shakes his head.

“What about you?” I suck my bottom lip into my mouth. The way he’s reacted to me I’m pretty sure he’s never given into any urges around men, but I’d like to know his thoughts.

“Oh, I’ve looked at girls. Banged a few too,” he says with a cocky attitude.

“Only a few?” I’m baiting him for more than a playful reply.

“You know what I mean.” He rolls his eyes before copying my position on the floor so we’re both looking up.

Talking more bluntly I breach the subject I’m more interested in. “What about guys?”

“I’ve never done that.” He shakes his head, but doesn’t look disgusted by the question.

“Would you like to?”

I’m probably a glutton for punishment, asking him to spell it out for me. It would be better to be shot down now than continue to rub up against him. I turn him on, I know that, but I’ve no idea how it makes him feel.

He scrubs his hand down his face. “Before prison, I was never really bothered about sex. But now I’m not sure how I will go a couple of years without it. There’s nowhere private to just knock one out.”

He avoids my question, which gives me some hope he isn’t completely repulsed by the idea. “Tell me about it. This morning, I was almost ready to climax, and some asshole ruined the fantasy in my head.”

“Oh yeah? What was the fantasy?” He waves his hand in the air. “Actually, don’t answer that. I’m not sure I want to know.”

“Have you seen the guy in the Victoria Ainsworth boyfriend cardigan advert?” My tongue darts out, and I lick across my bottom lip.

He lets out a chuckle. “No, but I’m guessing you’ve seen it a few times.”

“He’s delicious.”

“You’re insufferable.”

“What, just because I fantasise about men? Are you jealous it wasn’t you?” I say it as a joke and don’t expect him to answer.

“That’s not it. You’re just always surprising me. I’m never sure what you’ll say or do next.”

“It’s a bit like you. No one has ever caught me off guard, but you did.” I gesture to the mark on my shoulder.

“Yeah. Maybe I shouldn’t have done that.” He covers his eyes with the palm of his hands.

“Was that almost an apology?”

“No.” He scowls, dropping his arms back to his sides.

I laugh. “No? Really? It’s a good job I wasn’t offended then. I kind of enjoyed it.” I wink at him, and I swear he blushes.

“Tell me why you questioned the Cyclone’s loyalty to me.”

Usually, I wouldn’t care to give anyone answers, but I like Kaden and I’m undecided if I want him to die. This is a foreign concept for me, but I find myself feeling protective. I don’t want anyone to touch him, except me. “It’ll cost you.”

“I should’ve seen that coming. I don’t have much to trade. What is it you’re looking for?”

“A blowjob.”
