Page 32 of His For the Summer

“Your parents live in a hotel?Like that show on Disney Channel?”He sounded way too excited about that prospect.

“No, they don’t live there.The hotel is part of the Yamada Resort Group.”

“Whoa, I’ve heard of that, but I never made the connection.That’s you?”

“Yep.Dozens of luxury resorts across various mountain and island resort properties, plus some golf resorts, for variety.”

“Ah.”That was the same ‘ah’ I’d been getting all my life.I recognized it well.That one sound of someone who was so overwhelmed by my family that they had no idea what to say.“Are we meeting them?Your parents?”

“It’s unlikely that they’ll be there.”Fuck, I hoped they weren’t in town.

“Do they live here in town?This is where you grew up, right?”

I snorted.“Even when I was in school here, they didn’t live here full time, so I don’t know if they’re in town now.But yes, they have a home here.The one I grew up in.”

“They left you alone all the time when you were a kid?That’s a little fucked up.”

“There was a nanny.”

He leaned over the center console and kissed my shoulder, rubbing my arm.“That must have been difficult.”

“Poor little rich boy,” I muttered.

“Aiden, you could have just taken me to your house.You didn’t have to pay for a hotel room.”

I took my eyes off the road for a second to glance at Jay, who was studying me.“Yeah, no.That would be much, much worse.”

“You think they’ll hate me?Or you don’t want to come out to them?”

“Nope.None of that, really.I just don’t want you to look at me the way people look at me once they meet my parents.”

“And how is that, exactly?”Jay reached over and rubbed his hand on my knee.“Listen, Aiden.I know who you are — not this rich kid bullshit, but who you are on the inside.I won’t change my opinion of you just because you come from a crazy family.”

“That’s what they all say,” I said, pulling up into the driveway to the hotel.

“So, why bring me here, then?”His eyes widened as he looked up at the beautiful building.

“I don’t know.I wanted you to have a nice time.And if I use my credit cards at some cheap motel, my mother will know.It’s like anytime I try to do something a normal kid would do, she swoops in and flips out.”I pulled into a parking space, put the Land Rover into park, and sighed.

“Hey, it’s OK.This is for us,” Jay said, leaning over to kiss me.“Fuck them.Let’s take advantage of your connections and have a good time.Okay?”

“Okay,” I said, trying to tamp down my nerves.My anxiety was ruining everything.Again.

He leaned in, kissing me again.“Baby.Stop freaking out.We have three days.These three days are for us.”

“Mm, we can spend a lot of time naked in the hotel room.We don’t even have to leave — we can order room service, soak in the hot tub, and forget that the outside world exists.”

“Exactly!”Jay exclaimed.“No decisions to be made.No family obligations breathing down your neck.Just you and me in the very few clothing items.”

“I can get behind that,” I said, blushing.I leaned forward and kissed him again.“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For pulling me back from the ledge.Every damn time.”I nuzzled my forehead against his and sighed.“Let’s do this.Wait till you see the hotel.It’s insane.”

His hand slipped between my legs, covering my cock, his eyes focused on me.“Aiden.If you’re there, I won’t be looking at the hotel.”

“Mm, that feels so good,” I whispered.He leaned forward, kissing me through my pants.I threaded my fingers through his thick hair, smiling as he unzipped my pants and took me into his mouth.“Hungry little slut, aren’t you?”
