Thomas held up a finger as he cleared his throat.
Scott grimaced. “On second thought.”
Thomas turned to Scott sharply, and Scott stumbled out of the chair, holding his hand out to keep Thomas at bay.
Thomas chased him across the kitchen and back into the hallway. Scott laughed, backing into the living room, pleading for Thomas to stop. He tripped on the sheepskin rug in front of the fireplace and flailed, but Thomas was close enough to catch him and lower him to the rug. Scott thrashed as he laughed, but Thomas straddled him, breathing through his nose as he kept his lips firmly pressed together.
“Don’t.” Scott snorted. “Don’t you dare spit on me.”
His sides were burning.
Thomas raised his brow, and his expression said ‘you asked for this’.
“Thomas…” Scott screwed his eyes shut, hiccupping for breath. “I was joking.”
Scott waited, but nothing happened.
“As if I would,” Thomas mumbled.
Scott reopened his eyes and smiled up at Thomas.
Thomas didn’t smile back.
“The bio in your profile…”
“What about it?” Scott asked.
“It says you have to make £100,000 in a month…”
Scott knew Warren would find his profile, and his bio was aimed at him, his vow to make back the money he took in a month. He’d put an unhappy face on either side of the words, just to let Warren know the message was for him.
“Have to,” Thomas repeated with emphasis. “Like a deadline.”
Scott shrugged. “I thought people would be more likely to subscribe if I made myself sound desperate.”
Thomas glared down at him.
“Wait… How do you know all this? Did you subscribe?”
Thomas continued to glare but nodded too.
“Great.” Scott huffed. “I’ve only got two subscribers, and one of them is you, purely on there to criticise me.”
“You need a better plan.”
“What do you mean?”
“Videos of you jerking off, that’s what you came up with?”
“That’s what people want to see.” Scott frowned.
“Maybe once, but now there are millions of guys doing the exact same thing, and you don’t stand out.”
“Ouch, Thomas, go ahead and call me ugly, why don’t you?”
Thomas rolled his eyes. “What videos will people see once they subscribe?”
“I haven’t thought that far ahead yet.”
