Brad crouched beside him. “You are going to get a good span—”
“Brad?”
Daddy stopped talking as his entire body froze. His blue eyes met Luca’s with an expression of pain and panic transformed his teasing to horror.
“It is you!” A young man around Luca’s age rushed over, grabbing Brad’s arm, pulling Brad to his feet.
Together James and Luca hurried to stand up as well.
“Look at you.” The young guy rubbed his hand over the muscles of Brad’s chest. “You’re even bigger than you were.”
Who the fuck was this?
Brad scrambled away from that wandering hand. He was shaking his head while nearly tripping over his own feet. Brad’s gaze landed on Luca. There was a plea for help on Brad’s face that instantly put Luca on the defensive.
Okay, that look was crystal clear. Brad did not want this guy close.
That was good, because Luca was about to lose his shit. Even with Brad backing away, the guy was still trying to touch him. Still talking to him.
“I really thought you’d go all emo and maybe gain all that weight back,” the stranger said.
“Luca.” Brad’s voice cracked.
“Luca?” The guy laughed. “Are you going to pretend you forgot my name?”
“No.” Luca stepped up behind the stranger to stand in front of his boyfriend. As strong as Brad was this one fucking asshole still had the ability to bring back all the pain that Brad was trying to let go. Oh, Luca knew who this was. Only one person could put that much hurt in Brad’s eyes. “He was calling for me. Who are you?”
The lithe handsome blond ran his gaze down Luca’s body and back up before sneering, “Hmm.”
Oh! This little shit! With the onesie that this was wearing he was at least acting like a little although Luca knew the truth. What was this asshole even doing in their club? Had he come searching for Brad or another victim?
“This is your new little?” Brad’s ex sounded disgusted.
Well that made two of them.
“Let me guess,” Luca replied, not giving Brad a chance to respond. “Jordan?”
The blond smirked. “He still talks about me, does he?”
Behind Brad’s ex, Jacob slipped out the door.
“Yeah, as a cautionary tale,” Luca quipped. “What, or who, not to do.”
The blond huffed. “Yeah, right.”
“Wait!” James joined Luca, standing shoulder to shoulder with him. “Is this the thief? The liar? The pretend little?”
Brad sharing his past history with the rest of their friends just the night before was really coming in handy. James and fuming beside Luca appearing just as pissed off as Luca felt. Luca had friends at his back. Hell, he had a whole room who would come to their defense if needed.
They’d already had the attention of everyone in the room. With James’s words there were several gasps.
“Yep. The guy that freaked out when my Daddy broke up with him called us all freaks. Said there was something wrong with Brad for wanting to take care of him.”
That caused several of the Daddies and Mommies to rise.
Yep, this asshole was not going to find anyone on his side. Not in this room.
“Didn’t he also say that he should call the cops on Brad for his desires?” James’s words dripped with anger.
