“You, probably. She said you’re the only guy she’d turn for.”
Ryder laughed out loud and touched Felix again. He needed to stop doing that, or he’d get hard and embarrass himself. He wasn’t sure why, but he couldn’t help but word vomit around Ryder. Normally, he would keep himself quiet, but he’d tell this man his darkest secrets if he asked.
“I might know a few others who’d like to get involved. Mason for one, although he’s a grump at this time of year, so that’ll be one to tackle in January.”
Felix smiled.
“Sebastian Steele, you heard of him?”
Felix nodded, keeping his runaway mouth closed.
“A few others as well who are self-made and have farbetter backstories than mine. My parents had little, but there were no issues when I came out. I’m sorry you had to go through that.”
Ryder squeezed his shoulder again. This time Felix felt himself getting emotional, so he took a swig of his drink that had appeared, but he almost choked.
“How strong is this?”
“It’s a Ryder special.”
“What’s that? Get them so wasted they give in to your charms?”
“I don’t think I’ll need to get you wasted for you to give in to my charms,” said Ryder in his ear.
Felix’s entire body shuddered, causing Ryder to smile at him. A year ago, he’d have pounced on Ryder and taken a long ride, but after Sam, he wanted romance, not a quick fuck. Besides, the exhibition was more important than Felix getting dicked down. He was going to have to be careful about keeping Ryder Quinn at arm’s length.
CHAPTER 3
RYDER
December had arrived, and Ryder knew he needed to contact his doctor, but he’d been preoccupied over the holiday weekend. Mason and Ethan hadn’t said anything more on the matter. The others were still away on their cruise, although Sebastian had announced he was hosting a New Year’s Eve party at his penthouse, which would be a handy commute home for Ryder. He knew this was in response to his tantrum, but he’d take the win. He loved spending time with his friends, and even more so when there was a celebration.
Ryder knew when they were back from the cruise he’d be expected to clear the air. “We’ll talk when you’re back,” he’d said to them, so they’d stop trying to call him and just focus on their vacation. The most pressing concern for Ryder was his blue balls. He’d never gone this long without shooting his load before. He usually had an insatiable sex drive, but at the moment he couldn’t be bothered. Friday had been different. He hadn’t been able to stop touching Felix, who was shy and reserved, and Ryder just knew he’d be a dynamo in the sack. They were meeting tomorrow for the interview and shoot. To be sure he wouldn’t act inappropriately with Felix, he needed to relieve some tension, so he’d called one of his fuck buddies.He didn’t have many, as Ryder wasn’t a repeat kind of guy, but sometimes he just needed to breed someone without holding back, and there weren’t many guys or girls who could take his size when he was going full caveman on them. Nobody could take his cock like Zane, and that boy could deep throat better than anybody. This was what he needed. Something familiar that would get him off.
Even though Zane was on his way over, and he was an adorable blond twink, Ryder couldn’t stop thinking about a certain cute little redhead. Felix had left after their drink, once they’d exchanged numbers, and Ryder had been tempted to text him, but other than for arranging the photo shoot, they’d not spoken. The cutie ticked all Ryder’s boxes, but with things the way they were, he wanted to make sure everything was working as it should be before he made his move. The last thing his ego needed was to get Felix into bed and not be able to live up to his reputation.
“Hi, Daddy,” said Zane, as he sashayed into Ryder’s apartment.
He was one of the few people Ryder allowed in his bed, and Zane wasted no time shimmying out of his tight jeans, showing off a bright pink jock. His perfect bubble butt was on display, but not a flicker of anything stirred when normally, within seconds of Zane arriving, Ryder would have the boy impaled on his dick. The boy needed little prep. Ryder followed him into his bedroom as more clothing came off. He got on his knees and spread his cheeks apart. Ryder loved rimming. It always got him hard, so he dove in.
Zane was a loud bottom who wanted the world to know how much he loved dick, and Ryder could tell Zane had already done some prep before he arrived. He took out his cock and started pulling on it as he ate Zane’s hungry hole... but nothing. What was happening to him? He pulled on his balls, which usually got him ready to go. He loved thembeing licked, but he didn’t want Zane to know he wasn’t hard; it was embarrassing.
“Daddy, give me that big dick of yours. I want to feel you for days.”
Ryder kept rimming him, going deeper, and tugging on his cock, but it remained stubborn and soft. If he couldn’t get it up, the least he could do was get Zane off. He was a gentleman, after all. He dove in further, and gripped Zane’s cock, which was rock hard and leaking.
“Daddy, I need you,” he moaned.
Ryder ignored his pleas, and focussed on getting him off as quickly as possible so he could leave.
“Why aren’t you fucking me?”
Ryder kept going, but then felt Zane pull away and turn over. The twink was quick as he grabbed Ryder’s soft cock and frowned. Unperturbed, he dove onto it. Ryder was enveloped in the warm and wet heat of Zane’s mouth. The boy was doing all he could to get Ryder hard, but he knew it wasn’t happening, and he just wanted this over with. He pushed Zane off his dick.
“Just let me make you come.”
“But I want to get fucked, Daddy.” He pouted, which would be cute any other time, but not today.
“That’s not happening today.”
