Therewasa morning ride, but not the kind Seb hoped for.
It was outside.
With Oliver.
Who pounded on the bedroom door at seven-thirty.
“Come on, lovebirds! Daylight’s burning.”
“I hate him,” Seb grumbled. He rolled and snuggled against Martin, rubbing his cheek in the ticklish hair on his chest.
“You don’t hate him,” Martin said.
“No,” Seb agreed. “He might be the only one I like.”
“Come on, Seb! We’re going for a run!” Oliver said.
“I don’t run!”
“You used to!”
Seb cursed and licked a trail between Martin’s nipples, making him shiver.
He pushed Seb’s head away gently. “Do you have a bike?” Martin asked, loud enough to be heard through the door.
There was a pause.
“I can get one. Or two. One for each of you!”
“Traitor,” Seb said, but Martin was already rolling away from him and walking his fabulous ass to the bathroom.
The ride was longer and farther than Seb expected. He ached when it was done, and still not in the good way he wanted. Martin, however, appeared to thoroughly enjoy their campus tour and Seb’s narration of his childhood haunts. By the time they got home, his cheeks were flushed and his smile easy.
They needed a shower. When he suggested it, Martin blushed furiously, which made Seb smile and press him up against the garage wall to kiss him silly. They were both half hard, and Martin’s hands were sliding under Seb’s belt when Oliver reappeared at the garage door with a polite cough and a raised eyebrow.
“Parker needs help moving some furniture in the living room,” he said.
“I hate you,” Seb growled as he pulled himself away from Martin.
“No, you don’t.” Oliver smiled a shit-eating grin at him. “Martin, my dad wants to see you.”
That stopped them both in their tracks.
“What about?” Seb asked. Oliver shrugged.
“I need to shower first,” Martin said.
“It didn’t sound urgent.”
“You don’t have to go,” Seb said, but Martin squeezed his hand and smiled.
“I’m a guest. It would be rude.”
“Were you there at dinner last night? Ignoring a summons is pretty far down the list as far as rude goes.”
“I’m sure whatever it is, it won’t take long. I’ll see you soon.” Martin kissed him and disappeared down the hall toward their room.
