Not a happy carand staircase - so he could duck into the tunnel if anyone caet Which ot an eyeball full of his absolutely favorite couple: Blay and Saxton

He should have known his luck wouldn&039;t have had it otherwise

Blay held the way open, like the gentleh, the bastard tossed a lingering, half-lidded stare over his shoulder

Man, that kind of "look" orse than the pair of the face in public

No doubt they&039;d been out for a nice one back to Saxton&039;s place for a little play of the sort that was hard to have here in theyou could find on a bet around the compound -

As Blay removed his Burberry coat, his silk button-down pulled wide, and showed off a bite mark on his neck And on his collarbone

"Hi"

"Not all of them"

"Why? I mean they were always, like, you, you know?"

After which he could honk his package, and snort like he had balls the size of his head

No wonder Saxton seemed attractive

"So, yeah" he said Then cleared his throat "So how are things with you guys?"

Cue second trip to the heavens for those red eyebrows "I&039;ood"

"Good Ah"

After a lanced over his shoulder, toward the door into the butler&039;s pantry Clearly, it was the beginning of a back-away
