“What the fuck was that?” Renner laughs from the chair to my left as I rip the headset off.
“That was totally covered in snow. I had no idea it was even there,” I argue. “Let me go again.” Connor says nothing, but has a smug look on his face. The way he’s chewing on his bottom lip tells me he’s dying to say something. “Oh, just spit it out, for fuck’s sake.”
His grin is devastatingon multiple levels.
“This is why you need control. You need to anticipate the pitfallsbeforeyou’re sucked into one.”
“What if suckingisthe pitfall?” I ask before totally thinking that one through. Imeantbeing bad and slow on that mountain is what will end my career—the only thing I give a damn about…but now that the words are hanging between us, they feel sexual.
And suddenly, there’s no doubt that I want them to be.
Renner breaks the tense silence when he opens his mouth…except the words that come out aren’t helpful. In fact, they aren’t cool at all.
“If you’re the one doing the sucking, I think control is out the window, and the pitfalls are the least of your worries. Am I right?” Renner laughs.
I turn to look at him. “The fuck does that mean?”
Renner leans back so his chair is on two legs as he chuckles.
“I’m just sayin’ if you’re sucking dick, you got biggerproblems than falling in a hole.” He pauses and laughs harder. “Then again, maybe the hole is endgame anyway if dick’s your thing.”
I’m already unclipped and off the mount before Connor realizes my intention.
“Vox, don’t?—”
Too late.
I use the bottom of my booted foot to tip Renner’s chair over, and he goes spilling onto the floor.
“What the hell, dude?” he yells as he climbs to his feet.
I’m still advancing on him.
“Look around,dude. Being queer is no longer the joke the world once thought it was. Have some fucking respect.”
Renner holds his hands up as he starts walking his comment back.
“Look, man, I swear I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just talking shit, you know? I love gay guys! And the rest of the alphabet, too!”
Suddenly, a body slides between mine and Renner’s.
A very hard, very thick body.
And my cock notices.
To my absolute horror, I groan when my dick drags along Connor’s thigh. Gripping my shoulders, he pushes me back a few inches, but the damage has been done.
“Mr. Gentry, give Vox and me a minute, please,” he says to my training partner.
Renner heads for the door, muttering as he goes.
When Connor turns back around, he closes his eyes and inhales deeply through his nose.
“How long have you known?” he asks in a serious tone.
I’m not sure what this has to do with training, but whatever. I’ll bite.
“I’ve known I’m bisexual since I was fourteen.”Ironically,it was my attraction to you that made me accept it.When Connor’s brows shoot to his hairline, I can’t help but laugh. Guess he thought I was going to deny it or something. “You don’t follow me on social media, do you?”
