The dog had to be around here somewhere. It was kind of hard to lose a full-grown border collie.

“Puppy?” they began calling.

Alexis popped her head up, hearing all the commotion. “You looking for Puppy?”

“Yeah, it appears that Daddy Marcus may have forgotten to keep an eye on their baby,” Cameron joked, knowing how much the two of them loved their baby, Puppy.

Alexis nodded toward the door.

“What?” Cameron asked, quickly rushing to the door with Gavin, Ace following close behind.

When they stepped out the door, the three of them stopped dead in their tracks.

Standing by the front entrance was Basher, arms folded across his chest, looking menacing as always. And by his feet sat Puppy, alert and static, assisting his favorite bouncer with keeping the bar safe from would-be crashers.

Basher turned toward them.

“What?” he asked, barely moving a muscle.

The three of them started laughing.

“Looks like you’ve got yourself a new friend,” Cameron teased, nodding at the dog.

Basher glanced down at the four-legged beast, sitting alert beside him, before turning his gaze back to the street.

“Little bastard’s been following me everywhere. Even to the urinal when I went to take a piss.” Basher turned to look at Cameron once again. “Have you ever whipped your dick out to take a piss with a panting puppy staring up at you all lovingly? It’s fucking creepy.”

“I’d imagine it’s no different than how Cameron stares at you when you whip your dick out in front of him,” Ace decided to add. “Panting and breathing heavy, with his mouth wide open and paws—ow!” Ace blurted when Cameron decided to punch him in the arm.

“Too much, my friend,” Cameron added.

Laughing, Gavin strolled over to his baby and bent down to pick him up.

“There, there, my brave little pup. Protecting your daddies from all sorts of dangers, I see.” Gavin gave Puppy a kiss on the top of his head, followed by Puppy licking him excitedly on the cheek.

The guys all followed Gavin back inside.

Cameron stepped up next to Basher, batting his eyelashes as he stared up into the burly bouncer’s eyes.

“You going to walk me home again tonight? Make sure my ass gets home safe and sound?”

Basher’s eyes heated as they took in all of Cameron’s body.

“I’ll even make sure that you're tucked in nice and tight.”

Cameron gave him a smirk.

His ass was in for another pounding.

The roar of the crowd was deafening. All around him, people cursed and cheered. Some words were audible; others were swallowed up by the surrounding chaos.

Burning.
