My brows shot up. “And what did you think?”
“Not bad.” Dean grinned as that familiar blush hit his skin. “I still want to give you that blowjob sometime, though. Maybe when I get back to Boston.”
I reached over to drag my finger through the cum that was drying on his stomach and brought up to his mouth. Dean sucked it off without hesitation. “When do you think that might be?”
“Next week.” His eyes were glossed over again, and I couldn’t help but notice the way his cock had started to perk back up. My refractory period was not that fast.
Worry began to niggle its way back into my brain about how young Dean was. That we were too different. That we wouldn’t work out and that this was going to end in heartbreak for me. Was I ready for that? What would Cole think after he had already grown so close to Dean? Maybe this was a terrible idea.
Dean sat up. “Is everything okay?”
“Perfect,” I lied, even though I felt sick to my stomach. And it wasn’t because of the hangover that suddenly was raging inside my brain. “My head hurts from the booze.” God, I was a horrible person.
Dean touched my forehead lightly with the back of his head. “We could wash up. A nice hot shower might help you feel better after all that celebrating you did last night.”
“You want to shower with me, Pink baby?”
“I mean, if you’d rather do it alone, that’s cool, too.”
I should, but I couldn’t. I was already in too deep with him. “With you sounds perfect.”
But instead of getting up, I wrapped my arms around Dean and pulled him flush against me. If being with him was wrong, why did it feel right? He made me feel alive and young again. I had been so scared to fall in love again, but maybe that was because I was waiting for Dean.
“We can just snuggle like this if you want.” His warm breath tickled my skin.
As tempting as that was... I grabbed Dean and climbed from the bed, laughing as he wrapped his arms and legs around me to hold on.
“I think seeing your hot, naked, wet body would be better.” I carefully carried him to the bathroom, where I placed him on the counter before I pulled back the shower curtain and turned on the water. When I turned back, Dean was watching me with a smile on his face, his green hair falling into his eyes.
He tilted his head. “You’re a strong guy.”
“You’re just figuring that out now?” I asked as the room began to fill up with steam from the hot water.
Dean giggled nervously. “It’s obvious that you have muscles and everything. I mean, your body is insane. But the way you manhandled me back there was pretty hot.”
“If you didn’t like it...” I raised my brows.
He shook his head. “No, no, trust me, I liked it. I liked it a lot.” And the way he was trying to hide his erection right now was proof of that.
“Let me take care of that for you.” I held out my hand.
Dean blushed again. “You don’t... It’s okay.”
“Pink, I want to. Come on. Let’s get in the shower, and I’ll make you feel so good you’ll forget your own name.”
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Dean
Ihad gotten to Boston later than planned. What was supposed to be a week had turned into two, and I wasn’t thrilled about it. Maverick had left the tour the second he had the chance, telling Lou she could fuck right off if she thought he was going to stay a single minute longer than he had to. And when I saw the look of fear in his eyes, I knew that this might be the last time we did this together as a band. What that meant for Mulligan Downtown, I wasn’t sure. But I had to go back to my house in California, make sure everything was in order there. I somehow got sucked into a photo shoot, an interview, and some sort of meet and greet thing that took way too long.
I bounced on the balls of my feet on the elevator ride up to Beau’s apartment. I couldn’t stop the excitement that rolled through my body. It had been too long since we had been together. I couldn’t wait to kiss him again. Have his arms around me. I glanced at my phone before guilt hit me. Killian had asked me to come to North Carolina to visit him and Matty, and I had brushed him off. I felt like a terrible best friend. Especially keeping Beau from him.
Killian:Come to North Carolina, man. It feels like forever since we hung out.
Dean:I was going to spend some time with Mav. I’m already in Boston. Another time.
