“It’s hard to be when you know the other person could be lying to your face.”
“Or they could pick up and leave at any second.”
“Poof and gone.” Liam opened his hand like a magician revealing a magic trick.
“Cheers to shitty relationships.” Nathan held up his glass. Liam leaned over and clinked it.
“To shitty relationships.”
They chugged the rest of their water. There was no liquor, but Nathan still felt drunk on something.
“So what made you do a threesome with your male friend? Don’t straight guys prefer two girls?”
The tips of his ears turned red. Nathan waited with anticipation.
“I thought it would be fun, and I think…well, I’m realizing that I’m not completely straight.”
“You’re bi?”
Liam nodded yes. “I proposed the threesome because I wanted to have sex with Craig and Kelly. He has a good body, which I hate admitting.”
“A bisexual sheep farmer with pubic hair. You continue to intrigue me, Liam Foster.”
“Please don’t use any of this for your character.”
Nathan was confused for a second before remembering he was an actor doing research. He held up his hand. “Promise.”
Liam stood up. “Ready to go to dinner?”
“Can you get me another glass of water? I’m still a little parched.” Nathan handed his glass over. Liam went into the kitchen.
He was not thirsty, but the thought of Liam getting it on without another guy made him sprout major wood, and now was not the time to show off the tenting in his pants.
Chapter 13
Liam
Liam had less and less to correct Nathan on. He showed up at the farm every morning on time and did his chores without too much complaint. His eyes seemed clearer and skin brighter without the fog of alcohol.
But he still did not like cleaning up manure. “It’s built my character up enough. Can we trade off maybe?” he had asked.
“No. I have my own share of responsibilities, too. One day, when you buy your own farm, you can hire a farmhand to manage waste collection.”
“Stop calling it ‘managing waste collection.’ It’s shoveling shit.” Nathan quirked an eyebrow at him that sent a rush of excitement to Liam’s cock.
He still couldn’t believe he’d told Nathan about the threesome. He hadn’t breathed a word of it to his other friends, although since they all stayed friends with Kelly and Craig, he wondered if they knew, if it was a common joke among all of them. It’d been two days since Nathan forced him to forgo Facebook. Going cold turkey was making his hands twitchy around the computer, but if Nathan could give up alcohol, he could give up social media.
Nathan was easy to talk to. And all the farm work had started to add more heft to his frame. His shirt sleeves tightened with new muscle, and his thighs thickened in his pants. Which made something thicken in Liam’s pants. Nathan bent over to shovel a glop of manure. Liam made himself avert his eyes.
“I’m gonna go…” Liam pointed at the barn and went to check on Matilda. She was humongous, so close to lambing. She could go at any minute. It was like sitting at the top of a roller coaster, just waiting for the drop.
He heard his phone ringing in his house and told Nathan he would be right back. He maintained one landline in his house since he couldn’t always count on cell phone service where they were. The ringing of the old telephone pierced the quietude of his home.
“Hello?”
“Hey there, Piglet.”
Callum.Liam sighed. “Hey, brother.”
