I want him.
The air thickens. My pulse kicks. It’s suddenly harder to breathe.
He reaches for his glass of bourbon.
I reach for my throbbing dick, pressing down to relieve some pressure. I don’t even try hiding it.
“Alex…” he groans into his glass.
Jesus.
Say my name again.
“Alex…”
Fuuuck.
I pick up my glass and it’s empty, but I hold on to it anyway.
“Mm-hmm?”
“Would you like to come home with me?”
And there it is.
The million-dollar question.
Would I?
Would I?
Oh, who am I kidding? Iso fucking would.
Even though I’m not gay…
Right?
My hand trembles slightly as I set the empty glass down, heart pounding louder than I’d like to admit. I look straight into those ridiculously dark eyes.
And for once, I don’t look away.
Yeah.
I definitely could be gay.
“Yes, Elijah. I’ll go home with you.”

ALEX
My leg bouncesas we pull up to Elijah’s home, not surprisingly located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. This posh neighborhood oozes wealth, and I can’t help but marvel at my surroundings as his high-performance luxury SUV swiftly enters an underground garage and slips into a private, walled-off parking space.
Excitement cruises through my body as we step into the elevator and climb thirty-five floors,yep, straight to the penthouse.When the elevator doors open, we enter directly into his expansive entryway.
And I’m in awe.
Financially, I do really well for myself—verywell, actually—but this? This is a whole other level of wealth.
