Colin squeezed my hand, then pleaded with his eyes. But I cut him off.
“You don’t have to explain yourself to me. That’s in the past, where it’s going to stay. That fucker better hope I never get my hands on him.”
“I don’t deserve you.”
I smiled and put on my best Australian accent. “Ya do. Ya really do.”
He burst out laughing, restoring the light in his eyes.
“You’re stuck with Elizabeth and George, too. They have officially latched onto you.”
“What do ya mean, latched on to me?”
“My mother is wondering when I can bring you to Colorado, and what we’re doing for the holidays. My father wants to know if the two of you could have a rugby watch party sometime. He might be your new superfan.”
His beautiful face lit up despite my reminder that he didn’t have a family. That brought me to my second point.
“As you can see by their actions, they’re ecstatic about the prospect of another son to fawn over.”
He curled his lips in and nodded. “Are you gonna tell them about us?”
It was my turn to burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“They already know. Read it on my face and yours the minute you came through the door with my father. There’s no hiding anything from them. They’re human lie detectors.”
Colin smiled. “Another thing I’m learning about Americans.”
“If all this parent talk hurts you, then I apologize. Again.”
He gave me a soft smile. “It doesn’t. My mother died in an accident when I was seven, and I went into foster care. I was bounced around, six times I think, before an older couple in their sixties took me in until I was eighteen.”
I was shocked at how detached he was from it. It was almost as if he were telling the story about someone else.
“What about your dad?”
He shook his head, still unaffected by the conversation. “Never knew him. All she told me was he was a rugger too.”
“Do you still see them? The foster couple?”
“They both passed when I was nineteen. Matilda from cancer, and John from a broken heart. At least that’s what I think.”
I couldn’t imagine losing my parents and being alone in this world. It was inevitable, but not something I had thought about till now.
“You’re not alone anymore.”
Colin nodded. “Until this ends.”
It hurt to think about that possibility, but I would not accept that kind of thinking.
“We don’t have an expiration date.”
Tugging his hand, I brought him closer for a kiss to keep him from rebutting my statement. When he had me hot and bothered with his tongue in my mouth, I got up and led him to the pool. Stripping him out of his shorts, I spread him out on the tanning shelf in the three-inch water and sucked him off.
“Holy shit, your mouth,” he moaned as he shot his load down my throat.
When he went limp, I licked everything off his dick like a lollipop.
