“No, I had one other. It was fun, but not quite as fun as that one.” Garrett grinned as he looked in my eyes. “What about you? Tell me about your threesome adventures.”

I thought about it. “Well, I was at this resort in Belize…”

CHAPTER 28

GARRETT

Leaving Liam’s house was always a challenge. Leaving his bed? Fuck me.

But after a blissful night beside him, my body still aching from being ridden hard, I had to get up and get to work. And Liam had to go to practice.

So, all too soon, we were in his kitchen, both a little bleary-eyed as we sipped our coffee.

With a wicked glint in his tired eyes, he asked, “Think we’ll survive being able to do this all the time during the off season?”

I barked a laugh. “I’m willing to find out.”

“You and me both.” He winked, and we both chuckled as we drank our coffee. Then he put his down on the kitchen island and met my gaze. “We’ll get to see each other more next week.” He frowned as he put a hand on my waist. “Won’t be able to touch, though.”

“Next week?” But then I remembered. “The dads’ trip.”

Liam nodded, meeting my gaze. “You’re still coming, right?”

“Definitely. I wouldn’t miss it.” I paused. “It, um… It will be a little weird, though, won’t it? Both of us and Chris being on that trip? And your dad is coming, too, right?”

“Yep. It’ll definitely be weird.” He laced our fingers together. “But I think it’ll be okay. We’ll come out when we come out. In the meantime…” He half-shrugged. “We’ll manage.”

“Why do I get the feeling that’ll be easier said than done?”

He huffed a laugh. “Probably because it will be.” He paused. “You, um… How do you feel about meeting my dad?”

“As one of the team dads?” I asked. “Or as… my boyfriend’s dad?”

Liam tensed. “Oh. Huh. I…”

“We can keep it on the DL,” I said softly. “Trust me, it won’t hurt my feelings.” I brought my coffee to my lips. “I’m hiding it from my son, so…”

Grimacing, he nodded. “That’s true. I want to tell him, but… Yeah. Maybe we should wait.”

“It’s okay if you want to tell him. I mean, if you do want to tell your parents, that’s fine. I’m not ready to tell Chris or to come out publicly, but I won’t stop you from telling your folks.”

“I know,” he whispered. “And I’m not sure why I’m hesitant. My parents have always respected my privacy, and they get how public things can become. I just…”

“Liam. Look at me.” When he did, I caressed his cheek. “We’ll get there. Once you tell someone, you can’t un-tell them. I don’t mind waiting until you’re sure you’re ready.”

He sighed, covering my hand with his before kissing my palm. “I appreciate that. I just don’t want you to think I’m ashamed of this or of being with you.”

“I don’t. I promise.” I leaned in and kissed him softly. “Let’s just enjoy the dads’ trip. You enjoy the time with your dad. I’ll enjoy the time with my son. We can figure out when and how to tell people about us afterward.”

He held my gaze, then relaxed a little and nodded. “Okay.” He chuckled. “It is going to be weird, having you along on the trip but not being able to touch you.”

“Yeah, probably. But it’ll just whet your appetite for when you can touch me again.”

Liam’s grin made me hot all over. “Mmm, yeah, it definitely will.” He slid a hand into my hair and drew me in close. “Maybe we should get as much as we can out of our systems before we go.”

“Ooh, I like that idea.”

Then I just melted into another kiss.
