“Okay, the shower, then?” I offer.

“Too small. And slippery. If we go down, it’s going to wake the whole house, and that’ll be hard to explain.”

“Work with me here,” I say through gritted teeth, annoyed that he’s demanding time alone but shooting down every option I give him.

“What if I bend you over the dresser?” he asks.

“And risk yanking the mirror out of the wall? That is both loud and extremely dangerous.”

“Ugghhh,” Hanlon growls in frustration. “What if we tell them we have to go into work tomorrow for a couple of hours,but instead of going to work, we rent a hotel room where we can be loudandfuck on a nice cushy mattress?”

I think it over for a second. It’s risky because I know most everyone in this town, but it could work, especially if Hanlon goes in and gets the room.

“Okay, yeah,” I finally agree.

“Oh, thank fuck,” he sighs. “Now I just have to rub one out every hour until check-in.”

I groan. “You’re not helping.” By the time we pull into my driveway, I’m hard as granite. “I’m going to need a second before I get out.”

“Ohmygod, Stone.Look.” Hanlon points at the empty space behind his car. “Mom and Dad aren’t here,” he says excitedly, practically jumping out of the Tahoe before I’ve come to a complete stop.

“We don’t know when they’ll be back,” I point out.

Hanlon laughs again, but this time the sound is much happier, and of course, it goes straight to my dick.

“It’s not like it’s gonna take more than twelve seconds. Now get your ass in gear.”

I get out of the SUV and follow him into the house, but we don’t make it far. As soon as the door closes behind me, Hanlon slams me into the wall of the hallway so hard it knocks the breath out of me.

“Sorry,” he pants against my lips, grinding his hips into me. “Just really…” he trails off to lick my neck before finishing his sentence, “…fucking excited.”

We’re a mess of hands and tongues as we fight to make the other one come undone first. My hands are up the back of his shirt, even though his jacket is still on. His hands are frantically working the button on my snow pants.

When he finally takes me in his hand, my headthunksagainst the wall.

“Oh, fuck, yes. Keep stroking my cock like that, and it won’t even take five sec?—”

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?”

Instead of letting me go, Hanlon leans into me, shielding my dick from sight as he tucks me back into my pants.

“Jesus, Mom!Why the hell aren’t you with Dad?” Hanlon shouts louder than necessary.

“I just caught you with your brother’s privates in your hand, andyou’requestioningme?”

“I swear to God…Stone is mystepbrother!He and I aren’t related!” Hanlon yells, finally facing his mom.

“You grew up together! You call his fatherDad, Hanlon! How long has this been going on?”

Hanlon takes a small step in front of me as if he means to shield me from Lana’s wrath.

“Not long,” he answers.

“Hanlon, I have always supported you. Even when you came out to us, it didn’t change anything. But this?” Lana’s eyes flicker to my crotch, like she can still see Hanlon’s hand there. “This iswildlyinappropriate. If I had knownthisis what would happen, Ineverwould have contacted the American Avalanche Association and asked for you to be placed here.”

It takes a second for that to sink in, but when it does, Hanlon explodes.

“YOU WHAT?! Mom, I’m aGROWN MAN!Howdareyou meddle in my life like that! Now the fucking board probably thinks I ran to my mommy to make sure I got what I wanted!FUCK!You always think you’re helping, but all you’ve ever done is make me feel like I couldn’t do shit on my own, like you didn’t trust that I was smart enough to figure things out for myself! You know where I gained all my confidence?Stone. He was the only one who never babied me. The only one who never let my diagnosis define me. The only one who challengedme.He’sthe one who taught me that I’m just as normal as everyone else.”
