Zed shakes his head.“Are we ever?Howsabout we fuck your hot twink lover and get you seen by a less handsome than me but definitely more qualified medical professional?Then we’ll deal with the heavy stuff.”
The heat of Liam’s gaze hits me full force.“Is that okay with you, kid?”
“More than okay.”
“Good.You say ‘red’ if you want to stop.Got it, kid?”
“Yes.I’ll say ‘red’ if I want to stop, Daddy.”
“That is so fucked up.”Red chuckles from his spot against the wall.“I fucking love it.”
Liam gives Red a look, but it doesn’t wipe the humor from his face.
“No offense meant, man.”Red holds up his hands.“Honestly, I’m envious.Wouldn’t mind having a twisted little thing of my own to throw around the house.”
Seeming to accept this, Liam eases onto the bed behind him.He tries to hide it, but I catch a wince when he sits.
Zed says “Let’s do this” and pulls up the hem of his shirt.
“Wait,” I say again.
Zed pauses with his shirt halfway over his head.I’d laugh if it wasn’t so serious.
“Liam, if I go home with you, we need to negotiate some boundaries and rules.You’re not allowed to lock me in my bedroom anymore.”
Zed lowers his shirt, eyes wide.
Liam sighs.“You’re right.I’m sorry.Anything else?”
“I sleep in your bed from now on.”
“You’d better.”
I make myself as tall as I possibly can.“If you leave me or try to kick me out again, I’ll…I’ll GPSyouand stalk you like you did to me until you can’t take it anymore.Tell me you understand.”
Whoo.So much adrenaline right now.
Liam tips his head as if to ask “where is this coming from?”But he should know better.I guess he does because all he says is “Understood.”
“The cat stays.”
“Yeah, baby.I know how attached you get to fluffy things.”
“Good.And also, stop getting shot.”
He gestures to himself.“Not sure that’s something I can promise, kid.”
“Try.Please.For me?”
Liam nods.“For you I’ll try.Anything else?”
“Plenty.But the rest can wait.”
There’s so much inside me right now.Buzzy adrenaline and nerves and excitement for what we’re about to do.Not the scene, but everything to do with the two of us.All the possibilities.Possibilities that didn’t seem to exist before.
The future.Liam and I finally get a future.
“Anything in particular you want them to do, kid?”
