"Okay, before this gets maudlin, I'm going to drive our buddy Drew to his hotel. I'll be back in thirty minutes, don't use up all the hot water." Nathan found the elastic band on the credenza and tugged his hair back into a sloppy ponytail.
"How 'bout I wait for you and we can use it up together?" Quinn lay sprawled on the sofa, his naked body spread out in a seductive sprawl. Drew had to avert his eyes as his cock twitched. "Of course, we could all go shower and then you can take Drew back. What do you think? Does he have a fourth orgasm in him?"
"Just be ready to roll when I get back. We'll just make it before … Shit, how did it get to be three in the fucking morning?" Nathan's gaze darted to the clock on the mantle as if he'd read it wrong. "If we leave in an hour, we'll make it home before dawn."
"Anything you want me to pack?"
"Just leave it all here. We'll be back tomorrow night. You ready, Drew?"
"Yeah." He wasn't. His limbs were leaden, his brain felt fuzzy, he wanted to shower and fall into a deep sleep. "I think."
Nathan stood watching him as he patted his pockets for his wallet and his phone. "How long have you been up?"
"A couple of days, I think. I lost track. Why?"
"Because you're dead on your feet, that's why. Okay, new plan: I'm going to take Agent Walker here to his hotel, let him grab his gear and check out, then we're going to drive him back in his SUV."
"Nathan-"
"It's not up for debate, Drew. It's a long damn drive back. I'm not letting you kill yourself because you have a Superman Complex."
"Yeah, well … look who's talking."
"He's right, Drew. You're about to fall asleep standing up. Don't worry, baby, we'll get you back in time to face the big bad wolf." Quinn slipped his arms around Drew's waist and laid his head on his shoulder. And for a moment, Drew thought that Happy Ever Afters weren't just for fairy tales and little girls.
"Okay, yeah, sure. Quinn, go get cleaned up. I'll see you in an hour, less than an hour." Nathan pulled Quinn away and kissed him.
And just like that, Drew knew this was an aberration. This would never happen again. Nathan and Quinn belonged to each other. He'd known that years ago. He'd forgotten in the last couple of hours.
He never would again.
Chapter Ten
The drive home was quiet. With Drew passed out in the back and Quinn asleep in the passenger seat, Nathan had plenty of time to think. He didn't want to think. Thinking just led to trouble. But he couldn't help it. The last few hours had changed things. He could smell it, even if Quinn couldn't. And the smell wasn't pleasant.
He liked Drew, respected him. He would trust him with his life again if he had to. He just wished he'd stuck to his guns and gone home without Drew in tow. It was enough that he knew what he tasted like. That he'd been stupid enough to confess that momentary lapse of judgment to Quinn was making him crazy. Without that confession, Quinn wouldn't have lost his fucking mind. Without that confession, Quinn wouldn't have tried to seduce Drew in the club, or prettily convinced him in the parking lot that it was somehow a good idea to get Drew out of his system.
He couldn't think when Quinn put his mouth to work on him, his hands either. Of course, thinking back to those days, making out after school had usually come about because of Quinn's mouth and Nathan's inability to say no when he used it on him.
Tonight was no different. From the moment Drew walked up on them necking in the parking lot, the look of heated lust and total embarrassment on his face had done more than Quinn's mouth on his neck had. The arousal he'd tried to keep under control since he spotted Drew watching them on the dance floor came back full force.
Quinn wanted him to get it out of his system. It wasn't cheating. He and Quinn would still be together. They would still-but would they really? He'd begun to wonder if they would ever be the same about the time he slid his dick inside Drew's ass. And liked it. Too much. It made him crazy watching Quinn slither under Drew while he fucked him. His blue eyes watching him in a way that scared him.
Quinn became someone he didn't know. He was convinced he was seeing the kid Quinn had once been in his wild days before he cleaned himself up. He knew about the sex, the multiple partners, but he always assumed it was while he was high. Quinn's whole personality had changed, and that terrified him. Because Nathan let Quinn take him right along with him. Because he wanted to be and do and feel something outside his normal boring everyday routine. And he wanted to know what it felt like to fuck Drew.
