Travis’s lips curled. “Maybe you could give him some tips on the best way to angle himself for the light.”
“I don’t know,” West piped up. “Considering the size of the piece of equipment he’s working with, I think he’s got a pretty good handle on his angles. The fact it didn’t block out the sun wasimpressive.”
“What was impressive?”
My eyes widened at the sound of JT’s voice, and I slid down in my seat.
“Uh…nothing,” West said.
I snorted, then clapped a hand over my mouth when West glared.
“Nothing, huh?” JT could see right through that shit. West was the worst liar ever.
West cleared his throat and walked around my chair to go and greet his guy. The rest of us all turned and practically burned holes in his back. If he was about to be handed his ass like the last time JT caught him in a lie, we all wanted to witness it.
“Well, nothing important.” West kissed JT’s cheek, then—holy shit—handed over his phone. “I was just telling Van that I didn’t think this guy needed lighting tips for his dick. Not when he’s handling it like it’s a goddamn lightsaber. Thing is lit up like a weapon.”
JT took in the video of Sin working his “weapon,” and he looked truly horrified.
“Aw, don’t look so shattered, Golden Boy.” East chuckled. “West came to terms with his inadequacies years ago. If you want to try something that big, I’m sure he could find it in silicone.”
“Or better yet,” Travis interjected, “they might sell replicas of Sin at his coming-out party.”
Fuck, I hadn’t even thought about that. But as the idea took root and started to percolate, so did my dick. The idea of being able to watch him and use his…likenessto get myself off?That was something I could get behind—or more like getinmy behind.
“Um, I think I’ll pass,” JT said, handing the phone back like it was a snake that might bite him. A long, thick python. “That looks painful.”
“Try not to be too insulted by that,” Daire said as he crossed the room and threw open the door. “I’m out. Only so much talk aboutyourdicks I want to hear.”
As Daire exited, West led JT over to where he’d been sitting on the couch and pulled him down on his lap.
“Coming-out party?” JT said as West wound his arms around his waist and nuzzled into his curls.
“Yeah, it’s Friday. Think you can swing it?”
JT’s lips twitched as he glanced back at West. “I mean, not as far as that guy, obviously. But if you think you’re going to a coming-out party for a porn star on your own, you’ve got another thing coming.”
“I don’t want another thing coming.” West smoothed a hand up JT’s thigh, making him blush. “Just you.”
It was…weirdto see West so obviously content in a relationship when he’d never been in one in his life. But seeing him all heart-eyes over the golden boy made something inside of me feel restless. I enjoyed being a couple, enjoyed having someone to kiss and make out with, and Idefinitelyenjoyed having someone to give my body the attention it was so clearly lacking.
But I had a leg up here, an ace I could play that no one in this room knew about.I’d met Sin, talked to him, been the one he was eye-fucking while filming this very scene, and if the gods wanted me to attend his party, I wasn’t going to go and purchase a replica of the guy.
No way. I was going to get the real thing.
He wanted me, and I wanted him. So why couldn’t we have a night together…without cameras?
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The jarring sound interrupted my thoughts as the door behind me was pushed open again and East got to his feet and clapped his hands.
“Oh good, breakfast,” he said, waving in the delivery guy, who was balancing a tray of coffees in one hand and holding several bags in the other. “Now, who ordered the sausage?”

THE FLASHES COMING from the long line of photographers were blinding as I stepped onto the red carpet Friday night. Above me, a marquee proclaimed the event as “A Night of Sin,” and I felt a thrill pulse through my body at the thought that tonight was all about me.
