“Yeah. It’s actually that guy that used to give me a hard time?” He winced, waiting for Aunix’s reaction—protective, concerned.
Instead, Aunix’s voice was perfectly steady. “How did that happen?”
“Well, remember how I said he took care of me when I had a concussion? And about how he apologised and how he’s been a lot better lately?”
“Yeah.”
“We did some extra work together, and he just…asked me over to his.”
“Hm. How did it go?” No jealousy, no worry. Just…that.
“Well…” Visions of Auston flickered through his head—the heat of him as they stood by the front door. The way his eyes had tracked him during the meal, a hunting gaze.
There was no way to explain that to Aunix. What was he supposed to say?
It felt like a date.
The way he looks at me sometimes makes me burn up.
Makes me feel as if I’m about to be devoured.
Yeah, how about no.
“It was kind of weird,” Chase settled with saying.
There was a pause. “Weird?”
“Not bad weird. Just…it’s so different from how he used to act, you know? It can be a lot. Sometimes I wonder if things are just going to switch up again.”
“Right. I mean, that makes sense. Might be a good idea to give him a chance, though.”
“No, yeah, of course. Kind of funny thatyou’resaying that, though. I thought you’d be stomping over here to keep him away from me.”
Aunix gave a wobbly laugh. “Well. I mean. As long as he doesn’t pull that shit again. He getsonechance. And then I really will be marching to yours.”
“So scary.” Chase laughed.
“And don’t forget it.”
Chase grinned into a pillow. His body was still restless, though. The heat that had built in Auston’s apartment lingered, a fever that was begging to be broken.
“Daddy…”
Aunix snorted. “I know that tone.”
“I hadn’t come inweeksbefore yesterday. You’re torturing me for no reason.”
“Is that what I’m doing?”
“Yes.”
“I just like knowing you’re being good for me, baby.”
Chase groaned, already getting stupidly wet. “Then don’t I deserve a reward? If I’m being good?”
Aunix hummed mock-thoughtfully.
“Daddy.”
