“All right. Out with it. Who’s this magical penis? Or better yet, ass?” I asked, bringing my bottle of water to my lips. I hadn’t meant to sound like a dick, but my words slipped out anyway.
“Andrew from Friday night.”
I spat out my water and started coughing. “The curly-haired twink with the cute panties?ThatAndrew?”
Hugh snorted at my reaction and stood to grab some paper towels from my bathroom. “The very one.”
Jesus. I should’ve guessed. Andrew… Atlas was the only guy who caught Hugh’s attention for more than one night. Hell, he gotmyattention, too, but Hugh had spent more time with him, whereas I’d been tucked behind a wall.
“I get it, cuz. He’s cute as fuck. But bringing him on board could pose a slight problem with Uncle Hanley.”
Hugh handed me some paper towels, and we both went to work dabbing up all the water. “Yeah, I know.”
“But you want to go through with it anyway,” I said. It wasn’t a question. “I mean, having him work hereandplaying with him.”
“Yes.”
“I wouldn’t put it past your dad to fire us if he catches on. Not to mention that Atlas could sue us for sexual harassment. Another court case will blow Uncle Hanley’s brain to bits.”
Hugh stopped cleaning, and his brow shot straight to his hairline. “Us? Does that mean you’re on board?”
I waved my hand at him. “Psh… When have I never been on board? When Cousin Hugh says, ‘Jump,’ I ask, ‘How high?’ You know I have no spine to speak of.”
Hugh’s smile stretched wide across his face, lighting up his very essence—Le sigh. “You’re so full of shit. Yes, you just do whatever, but you’re no pushover. That’s why I like you.”
I pressed a hand to my chest. “Aww, I feel so loved. Still, we need to be prepared for worst-case scenarios.”
He rolled his eyes, grabbed the used paper towels, and tossed them into the garbage can next to my desk. “Ass,” he laughed before growing serious. “I know this is a risk. And yeah, I’m kind of jumping into this headfirst, which isn’t like me atall, but there’s just something about Atlas. I truly believe this is meant to be. So… that’s a yes?”
“Please. Since when have you ever needed my permission? That’s a yes. Have you interviewed him yet?”
“Not yet. I want us both to do it.”
I spread my arms across my office. “Then show him in.”
Honestly, when I learned it was the young man from last weekend, I got pretty excited about him coming to work for us, despite any misgivings. It would probably get us into trouble, and not for the first time. But I couldn’t stop thinking about Atlas either. Hell, I masturbated to him and Hugh about ten times over the damn weekend, and again this morning. It was a lot, and more than usual.
I’d fucked a lot of men in my life, but Atlas was special. He was made for the role Hugh engaged him in. Atlas was a natural pleaser. I had no doubt he would be excellent as a PA, too, without even having to interview him.
Could I lose my job over Atlas? Probably. Did I care? Not really.
The bigger question was why Hugh was risking his job. His entire life had been built on pleasing his father. I’d never seen him risk his career for anyone else before. I kind of liked this new side of him. He’d been a doormat long enough. He was strong, tough, and in control of his life—except when it came to Uncle Hanley. It should be interesting.
Chapter 5
Atlas
IpacedinHugh’slarge office, desperately trying not to sweat through my suit, but failing miserably. He’d left me in there while he grabbed his cousin Linden.
Cousins.
I’d completely forgotten they were cousins. No wonder they didn’t touch each other at all that night. Was it wrong of me to think they’d be hot together? The thought of that taboo element practically sent all the blood southward.
Donotget a hard-on, Atlas.Notcool.
I desperately wanted this job, but it was completely surreal that I fucked the two VPs last Friday. Jesus, I should’ve run as soon as Hugh nearly punched my lights out after believing I’d stalked him. Talk about mortifying. Yeah, the two men were hot, but I’d never stalk them. I was desperate, but notthatdesperate, not to mention it was illegal.
I checked my watch and saw that Hugh had been gone for almost fifteen minutes.
