No. No way. Julian didn’t get that lucky. He was talking about doing that as a friend, or it was just idletalk, he wasn’t…

Julian shoved his sandwich in his mouth to give himself another moment to think of an answer.

“Maybe,” he said around a mouthful of bacon and toast.

“Guess I can’t convince you to come play with me this morning, huh?” Isaac asked.

“I’ll need a little longer to forget how much that hurt. At least until the bruise heals.”

“It’s barely noticeable,” Isaac said, which Julian was pretty sure was an outright lie.

Nice of him to say, though.

“I wouldn’t mind going to watch,” Julian offered. He had nothing better to do with his day, and watching Isaac work up a sweat was definitely appealing.

“Really?” Isaac asked enthusiastically, his face lighting up.

“Really,” Julian confirmed, pleased that Julian was happy. “I’ll even put on pants.”

Isaac shrugged. “You look great naked.”

A blush crept up Julian’s neck, the heat making him squirm in his chair.

Yeah, he coulddefinitelyhandle a broken heart if it meant he got more of this first.
