Dean took another swig. “Anyway. I was so disgusted with him, I came straight home after dinner.”
Colton smiled, secretly feeling a rush of relief. “So…no man-on-man action?”
“Nope! Just another night with myfuckinghand.” Dean sighed. “It sucks. I was really in the mood to bottom, and your hand just can’t replicate that.”
Colton arched his eyebrows and tilted his head. “Bottom?”
“Oh, right. You don't speak gay,” Dean quipped and leaned forward, resting his hands on the edge of the pool.
“If you’re the guy doing the fucking, you’re a top.”
“In the ass?” Colton interrupted.
“No, in the fucking nostrils! Of course, in the ass,” Dean snipped, and Colton tossed his head back and laughed.
“So, the top is the guy doing the fucking. If you’re the guy getting fucked, you’re a bottom. And, if you like to do both, you’re called versatile, or vers,” Dean explained. “I’m versatile, but I wasreallyin the mood to bottom, so it was a disappointing evening all around.”
“Did you give his demo to your producers?” Colton asked.
“Threw it right in the fucking trash as soon as I left the restaurant!”
They clinked their bottles and laughed.
Dean sighed as he looked out over the bay.
“Wanna order some dinner?” he asked. “We could watch a movie.”
Colton smiled. “I would love that.”
Chapter 23
Colton
Sophie was in San Francisco for a photo shoot. They had stayed in touch since the breakup a few months ago, so Colton suggested they have lunch.
They met at a little outdoor café downtown and Colton asked the hostess to seat them at a table in the back corner of the café, to provide as much privacy as possible. He ordered a beer and settled into his chair. Sophie spotted Colton as she entered and waved, flashing a big, genuine smile. He stood to greet her as she approached with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“Dean says hello! I was at his loft last night. He wishes he could see you, but he’s really busy planning his world tour.”
Sophie settled into her seat at the table. “Aww! I miss seeing him. Tell him I said hello.” She lifted an inquisitive eyebrow. “You two have been hanging out a lot, huh?”
Colton flashed a gigantic smile. “We have. It turns out, he’s a pretty interesting guy, and a lot of fun!” He took a sip of beer. “So how have you been? I’ve seen your pictures everywhere lately.And according to your Instagram, you’re in a different city every other day. You must be incredibly busy.”
Sophie smiled and shook her head. “It’s been insanely busy! I’ve got to stop saying yes to every designer and magazine that wants me.” She sipped her tea. “I think I need about a month’s vacation.”
“Well, you look fantastic! And you certainly deserve a vacation. Have you started seeing anyone?”
“I have been on a few dates with this one photographer. It’s too early to tell, but I think it could be promising.” Sophie shot a sly look at Colton. “I’d ask the same of you, but I know you’re not seeing anyone.”
“What do you mean by that? You have no idea if I’m seeing anyone or not!” Colton snipped.
“Are you seeing anyone?” Sophie lifted an eyebrow with a smirk.
“No.”
“See? I knew it!” She pointed her finger and grinned triumphantly.
“How could you know that?”
