“Deal.”
“It’ll be an early start.”
“So I’ll have an early night.”
Just as headstrong as I am, Eden stares down at me. But right now, I’m not in the mood to win anything, so I reach for his cheeks and rub my thumbs over his smooth, but slightly wind burned skin. “I need to give you something, too.”
“No you don’t.”
“I might be a smart ass, but I’m not a completely selfish one.”
He raises one brow, and I playfully slap the side of his neck. “Fine, fine,” he smirks.
“I’m serious. I wanna give… I wannadoone of the things you mentioned.Foryou. You know—what you said before? About being in positions you’d never thought of?”
“And how is this not a third gift for you, as well?”
“I mean, is it really my fault if it benefits the both of us?”
“Then I want three gifts, too.”
“I can live with that deal.”
“Then I’ll take the first tomorrow morning. We’ll be leaving at seven—”
“Seven?!”
“Yes, seven. And I want your eggs and mushroom toast with one of those brown sugar coffees you won’t shut up about, before we leave.”
“And what about your second gift?”
“I’ll take that tomorrow night. But only if you’re a good boy and don’t piss me off all day.”
“You know that’s impossible, right?”
“I mean, I do expect you to make my dick a little bit hard. But don’t make me angry.”
“I’ll try my hardest… And what about the third one?”
“That’s dependent on your behaviour tomorrow, as well.”
“All these rules really aren’t fair.”
“But they’re my gifts. That is, apart from you.”
“Now you’re makingmydick hard.”
“Calm yourself, Little One. It’s not gonna be one of those nights.”
My left hand is freezing, my back is sore, and the trip has taken fifty percent longer than it should, but his legs are half the size of mine.
“I’m really proud of you, Jin.”
He tugs playfully on my hand. “Quit trying to be my dad.”
“Your dad’d be in prison if he thought of half the shit I have.”
He pulls away from me. “That’s disgusting.”
