He hadto talk? What kind of sadist was his Dom?
Finding the words,Carter shoved them out desperately. “Yes, please.”
Grant moaned again,his cock jerking against Carter’s ass. “Should I play with them gently or doyou like it rough?” The words were growled out, making Carter’s need almostfrantic. He loved how aroused Grant was getting simply by touching him.
“Anything,please!”
Grant took him athis word because the next circle took Grant’s hand right over the hard tip, andhe pinched down. It didn’t hurt, exactly, but it made his knees weak. He pushedup for more. The pleasure was tinged with pain and it was perfect.
Working Carter’snipple and cock, Grant made wicked sounds of pleasure that had Carter squirmingin his arms. Grant’s arousal had Carter even more desperate. He was so close.“Grant! I need…please…”
He wasn’t sure howto ask for more. His brain was fractured into a thousand pieces, but Grant knewwhat he needed. The grip on his cock tightened, speeding up, and the next pinchto his nipple sent waves of fire shooting through him.
With no warning,his orgasm crashed over him. Grant held him and kept teasing his body, makingthe pleasure go on and on. When it was finally over, Grant scooped him up andwalked the short distance to the bed. Laying Carter down on the mattress, Grantcurled around him and held him while the aftershocks of pleasure faded.
“Just in case you couldn’ttell, I liked the outfit.” Grant’s words were almost serious, but Carter couldhear the dry humor running through them.
“I never wouldhave guessed. Thanks for clarifying it.” Snuggling into Grant’s warmth, Carteryawned and rubbed his face against Grant’s firm, broad chest.
Silent laughterhad his head bobbing up and down. Giving Grant’s side a pinch, he gotcomfortable again. “Pillows don’t get to move.”
“Got it, boss.”Grant’s laughter made Carter have to get settled again.
Smiling, Carter tuckedhimself close to Grant and closed his eyes. He told himself he was going torelax for just a minute, then he had plans to explore the sexy Dom.
In just a minute…
As another yawnforced its way out, Grant’s arms wrapped around him and he felt a kiss to thetop of his head.
“You know thismeans I’m keeping you, right?”
He yawned andshook his head. Not denying the sentiment, just the presentation. “Soromantic.”
“Yup. That’s me.” Itwouldn’t have been funny, but Grant seemed completely serious. Carter toldhimself he would set the Dom straight on a few things, right after he closedhis eyes for just a minute. The warmth of Grant’s body was soothing, and as thelull of sleep pulled at him he felt another kiss.
Carter had tosmile. Grant might be a bulldozer, but evidently, he was Carter’s bulldozer.

“How did your date go? Are you proud of me? I didn’t tell…Well, I didn’ttell much, and I kept my mouth shut when it counted. Garrett was very proud ofme! Do you want to know my reward?” Wyatt bounced into the shop like a hurricaneon steroids, nearly knocking over Mrs. Jenkins who’d stopped in for gossip, or,as she’d said, “To browse around, dear.” He hadn’t found her chairs yet, butshe was innocently browsing around the store again.
Her eyes lit up asWyatt bounded in. He was the real reason she’d been stalking the shop lately.Carter knew how to keep things to himself, but Wyatt—not so much. “Hello,dear.”
“Sorry, Mrs.Jenkins.” He looked suitably contrite, although Carter knew he was desperately holdingback his curiosity.
“That’s all right.You were very excited about something. It’s understandable.” Her voice wassoothing and warm, lulling people in so they’d spill their guts. Wyatt fell forit every time.
He leaned in closeand whispered conspiratorially, “Carter had another date with the insuranceguy. He didn’t call last night complaining that things ended badly, so I’m thinkingit went very well.”
“Oh.” She turnedto smile at Carter. “And here you said nothing exciting happened lately.”
Wyatt was startingto look like he’d realized he’d overshared, but before he could decide what todo, she charged ahead. “It’s so nice things are going well. They’re such a nicefamily.” She gave Wyatt a wink. “I’ve heard most are very take-charge and…strong-willed.”
The little pauselet Carter know she’d been tempted to say something else. Knowing her,something naughty. He’d thought the guys had been fairly discreet, butevidently not enough to fly below Mrs. Jenkins’ naughty band of ladies. Thesmile on her face, deceptively sweet, let Carter know she didn’t mind.
Wyatt was lookingat Carter, frantically trying to ask for help. He clearly wasn’t sure what todo. He’d overshared before, but now he looked like he was backed into a corner,not sure what to say without getting into more trouble. Deciding to save hisfriend, Carter spoke up. “They’re a very interesting family. I’m enjoyinggetting to know him.”
“So things aregoing well?” She smiled and reached out to pat his hand. “You didn’t seem tohave that good of luck with dating, and we were starting to get worried.” Sheperked up and her smile seemed slightly wicked. “We’d even thought ofintroducing you to Maggie’s baker’s boy. He’s an interesting thing, and we thoughtyou’d do well together.”
