“Lift,” he commands.

As soon as my ass is off the couch, my cell phone starts ringing.

“Shit,” I growl, reaching for my cell phone on the coffee table behind Taylor. Too keyed up to look at the caller ID before answering, I just swipe to connect the call. “Knox Bennett speaking.”

Javier laughs on the other end of the line.

“I should hope so since this is your phone, boss. Just calling to confirm we’re good to start on the next phase? I thought you said we needed to start by seven-thirty.”

“We do,” I confirm, slightly confused.

“Well, it’s seven-fifteen now, and I don’t think Phil and I have ever beaten you to a jobsite.”

I glance at the clock on the microwave. “Oh, shit. Sorry Jav. Crazy morning. Yeah, go ahead and get set up. I’ll meet you there.”

Before I can disconnect the call, Javi launches into some questions about a couple of other jobs we have coming up. Feeling bad about being late to my own jobsite, I’m trying to give him my undivided attention, which means I don’t notice Taylor’s game until it’s too late. In one swift motion, he’d gotten my pants around my fucking ankles when my ass came off the couch for my phone.

I don’t stop him as he drops to his knees on the living room floor in front of me, and his head dips between my legs.

At this point, I know he’s playful,andhe’s seen my dick. Hell, he’stasted my cum,so I try to relax into the moment, and I’m proud of myself for not giving anything away in my voice when I respond to Javier.

Taylor inches his face closer, and all I can do is stare. I think he’s waiting for me to say no, push him away, or move out of his reach, but I’m glued to where my ass landed on the couch.

Agonizingly slowly, he angles his head and licks a path from my balls to my crown.

Mid-lick, my fingers dive into his hair, and the hand holding my phone falls from my ear, landing on the cushion next to me.

“Fu-uuck,” I stutter.So much for keeping it together.

Taylor dives in for another pass and pushes my hand back up toward my ear at the same time.

“Boss? You okay?” Javi asks.

Am I?

Hell if I know.

“Uh, yeah. Jav, I’ve gotta run, but I’ll be at the house soon.” I end the call and focus my attention on the devil between my legs. “Taylor.” I know immediately it was too breathy to do any good, so I try again. “Taylor.” At least it comes out stronger this time, and he looks up at me lazily.

“Yes?”

“Get dressed. We need to go.”

“It’s like ceiling fan installation or something, Knox. I think they can handle it,” he says, tempting me. I’m so fucking irritated with myself for neglecting my responsibilities that I allow our moment to pass and lean forward to help Taylor off the floor before he has a chance to engulf my cock in his mouth. I know without a doubt I’d be useless the rest of the day if I allowed him to envelop me in that wet heat. I’m dangerously close to being useless as it is.

One look at those lips wrapped around my cock and I’ll happily be the gayest sonofabitch to ever exist. I also won’t be leaving this house anytime soon.

“But they shouldn’thaveto handle it. At least not without me,” I tell him, trying like all fuck to hold it together. “Iam the boss.Myname is on the business.Iset the example.”

And then another thought slams into me.

“Shit,” I groan. “They’re going to see us pull up together,” I say, announcing the obvious. Taylor shrugs like it’s no big deal, but a look of hurt flashes across his face.

“You can let me out down the street or something,” he says.

The violent nausea caused by those words, coupled with the look on his face—the one I said I never wanted to be responsible for on the night we met—slams something into place for me, and I jerk like I’ve just been slapped.

“What?No,” I say angrily. Pulling Taylor toward me, he straddles my thighs and plants his ass in my lap.God, he feels so good there…so natural.Blowing out a breath, I brush his hair back from his left eye so I can see him clearly. “Taylor, I might be confused as fuck about what I am and what this is, but I wouldneverhide you away like something I’m ashamed of.”
