Gru didn’t react to the sound of his voice, and Max couldn’t pet him through the screen. It only made him feel lonelier.

Grady’s response lit up his phone before he could start the ignition.So come over and you can rub my belly.

Horrified, Max dropped his phone and started the car. His hands-free lit up with a second message before he even put it in Drive. With many misgivings, Max pushed the button to have the car read the text.

Ok, that was really bad. Sorry. I’ve spent too much time listening to Jess flirt with her girlfriends. I promise I did not just casually suggest pet play by text. That’s an in-person conversation.

“Jesus,” Max muttered.

“Do you want to respond?” the cheerful Android Auto lady asked.

Fuck it. He really didn’t want to be alone, and he had to meet the in-laws sometime. At least he wouldn’t be stuck in the house with them for three days. “Yeah, tell him ‘Be there in half an hour, freak.’”

Max assumed Grady was the only one home when he got to Grady’s, because Grady dragged him into his bedroom by his tie and—after half tearing the rest of Max’s clothes off—used it to bind Max’s wrists behind his back.

Then he shoved his own pants down and pulled Max over his lap.

Before Max could do more than catch his balance, Grady pressed two slick fingers inside him. Max was still groaning in ecstasy at the stretch when Grady replaced them with his cock.

Max exhaled sharply and arched his back.

A steady stream of filth fell from Grady’s lips as Max rode his dick, and he twisted Max’s nipple piercings almost as mean as Max could ever want.

Max came when Grady slapped the inside of his thigh, blindsided by an orgasm that ripped out of him and left him boneless.

Before he could gather the strength to move so Grady could jerk himself off, Grady’s eyes went wide and his mouth opened and he made a hurt sound and thrust up into Max’s body one more time.

A few seconds later, when he pulled out, Max felt the slick of his come dribbling out of him. He shuddered in pleasure when Grady wiped his thumb up the wetness on the back of his thigh.

They were both shaky when Grady untied him. He made a wry face as he tossed the silk into the trash. “I think I owe you a new tie.”

Max collapsed face-first onto the mattress. “Call it even.” He never wanted to move. “Feel free to defile all of my ties. I’ll start buying them at Costco.”

“Absolutely not.” Grady lay down beside him, still breathing heavily. Max turned onto his side to look at him. “No boyfriend of mine will be seen with a bulk-purchased tie. What would people say. I’m putting my foot down.”

Max still felt gooey inside when Grady saidboyfriend. Or maybe that was something else. “What are you gonna do about it?” he teased.

“I told you. You like Tom Ford?” He danced his fingers over the hollow of Max’s neck. “I’ll buy you a new tie. I’ll buy you fifty ties.”

For a moment Max had to bury his face in the pillow to hide his grin. Either sex completely fried Grady’s brain, or he was one of those guys who was prone to spoiling his boyfriend outrageously. Max knew where he’d put his money. “You just want to show me off.”

Grady tapped his nose. “Maybe I do.”

The kicker of it was, Max believed him. And it sounded kind of nice.

He took a deep, happy breath and let himself nap.

HE AWOKEto muffled voices.

At some point Grady’d gotten out of bed, because Max was alone with the sheet pushed down to his waist. He sat up and scrubbed a hand over his face as he tried to gauge the time. He’d probably been asleep for an hour and a half.

If Grady was up and talking to someone—and the voices coming from the direction of the kitchen suggested actual humans and not the TV—then chances were Jess and her girlfriends were home, which meant Max needed to put on pants.

Scratch that. Max needed a shower,thenpants.

He scrubbed down quickly in Grady’s en suite, then decided it was better to ask for forgiveness than permission and raided Grady’s dresser. He wasn’t wearing wrinkled suit pants to lounge around Grady’s house.

Besides, how thirsty would that look to Grady’s sister—that Max had been so desperate for it that he hadn’t even bothered bringing his travel bag in from the car.
