“I would never want to do that,” I say as I glance up at him.
He grabs my head and just smooshes it against the bed like that’s the best way to deal with me.
“Why?”
“I don’t know, Liam. You’re too tempting. You’re like the devil. I need to get up but you’re tempting me to remain on my back.”
I’m pleased by this. “Which shirt do you want today?” I wander over to look at his shirts.
“That gray one is fine,” he says.
I glance at it and then decide that really… this other one would look much better on him. I pull it down and grab an undershirt to help him keep warm. When I reach the bed, he’s at least sitting up, so I guide his arm into the undershirt and then the button-up before he looks down at it.
“This is your shirt,” he says.
“I’m aware.”
“Why am I wearing your shirt?”
“Because I thought it would look nice on you… and it’s warm… since we’ll be outside.”
“Are you sure that’s why I’m wearing this? For warmth?” he asks as he lets me button it up. It really is such a delightful experience. I’m usually taking his clothes off, not putting them on.
“Tie or no tie?”
“No tie.”
I frown, wanting to put a tie on him.
Seeing my disappointment, he amends, “You can put it on and take it back off.”
“I think I will,” I say as I grab a tie and loop it around his neck. I slowly feed it through while he watches me closely. Then I slide it tight and smile at him. “Just practicing for our wedding.”
“You arenotproposing to meyet. You hear thatyetword?” Gabriel asks. “Someday, but notyet.”
“Someday can be tomorrow or the next day,” I say, which Gabriel doesn’t seem to agree with for some reason. I pull the tie free and then start unbuttoning his shirt farther than it needs to be.
“Stop! We have to focus.”
“I am focused,” I assure him as I let my finger dip into that V.
He grabs my hand and kisses my finger before slipping it into his mouth and sucking it. And my god, the way that tongue wraps around it goes right to my dick. He pulls off and with a smirk, he goes on his merry way.
And I realize that this is exactly what karma looks like.
“It’s okay, the best detectives have arrived,” I announce as I walk into the briefing room where Michaels has already started.
“Sgt. Michaels was running through everything really fast in the hope that we’d be done before you even arrived,” Matthew says.
“Fear not, I’m here. Wipe those tears of longing away, Chris,” I call, ignoring Matthew completely.
“I’m still not crying,” he says as I take a seat next to Jesse.
I give Jesse a nod. “Hello, human, I would like to look at your findings.”
He cocks his head to the side before shaking it. “You act like I’m over here probing assholes or something with the way you talk.”
Most of the room laughs because Jesse is cute, and from my findings, people tend to like cute and little things.
