  Malakei grinned at her. “He is that. I’m sorry, Sheena, but even if I didn’t find him, he’s not into the ladies.”

  “That’s a damn shame, you know that? Why all the good ones have to be gay?”

  Malakei sighed and shrugged. “All of them aren’t… just….”

  “Dammit, Malakei, you’re… that man!”

  Malakei glanced at Peter coming in his office unannounced. “Hey, Peter.”

  “Hey yourself. I’m glad to see you’re okay, but you’re… you might have to do something about your new sensation. Hi, Sheena.”

  “Hello, Pete. Good to see you,” she said in a monotone.

  “I’m guessing you’re talking about Seth,” Malakei said the last part lower.

  “Yeah. He’s a crazy son of a bitch. He accused me of making the calls and conspiring with Darryl.”

  Malakei shook his head. “Sorry about that. He might be a little worked up. I noticed he hasn’t smoked any cigarettes as of late, so….”

  “So, that gives him the right to make crazy assumptions? Malakei, I’ve known you a lot longer,” Peter said, stressing the last part of his point.

  “You have, and you’ve gotta respect the fact I’m seeing that crazy son of a bitch.” Malakei closed the laptop and stood. “He might be weird, but he’s mine. Everything else okay on your end?”

  Peter nodded. “Yeah, I just… I was worried about you.” He walked over and patted Malakei’s shoulder.

  “I’m fine. I’m leaving for a few days. I need some time away.”

  “Oh? Where are you going?”

  Malakei eyed Peter, wondering if he should tell him. Maybe he’s involved. He’s jealous of Seth and me. Malakei shoved his hands in his pockets, hating what he was about to do. In all truth, he was paranoid and didn’t trust anyone right now. “Going to my parents’ cabin in Vancouver.”

  Sheena cleared her throat.

  “Oh. Well, that’s good. Are you taking Seth with you?”

  “No. He’s on his way back to Britain to see his mom. I… I’ll be meeting back up with him here in New York soon, but it’s a good idea for us to get some time away from one another.”

  “I agree. Think long and hard if he’s the right man for you.”

  “Oh, why do you say that?”

  “Because he’s crazy, and, well, if High Stakes is going to do well, it might not be good to have you hanging around all the time.”

  “This from the same person who’s been urging me to come out.”

  “I have but maybe not right now when Seth’s band is just getting started. And, well, dammit, Malakei, he’s got a few screws loose.”

  Malakei snorted. “He’s no crazier than anyone else. I like having someone defending my honor.”

  “I always do….”

  “But yet you’re disrespecting Seth.”

  “I’m… ugh. Okay fine, you’re right. I just don’t like the way he came at me. He was out of line.”

  Malakei shrugged. “Might’ve been, but you’re also out of line talking about him in this manner. I won’t tolerate it, Peter. I’m falling for him, and no one, not you, Sheena, Greg, or anyone else, is allowed to bad-mouth him.”

  “I’m not bad-mouthing him, Kei.” Sheena spoke up for herself.

  “I know, I’m just claiming him is all. He’s mine until we decide otherwise, okay?”

  Sheena held up her hands. “Well, all right then.” She stood up and put her cup on the desk. “I’m happy for you, Kei. I really am glad someone has brought you out of your shell.”

  “Yeah, so am I, even if he is—”

  “Watch it!” Malakei cut him off.

  “Whoa, yes, sir. I’m gonna get going now so I don’t offend you anymore,” Peter said, walking away.

  “Okay. You have a good one. I’ll, um, call you when I return.”

  “Sure.” Peter opened the door, then closed it just as quickly.

  Sheena exhaled. “Dang, Kei. I think you just pissed him off. And then….”

  “So, I did. He was out of line to come in here talking mess. Pete’s a good guy, but he needs to know when to cool it.”

  “I got you, but damn, I didn’t think you took my comments so seriously.”

  Malakei eyed her and patted her shoulder. “I did, because… well damn, Sheena, I’m falling in love. I’m going to hate myself for the fallout he’ll endure when everyone finds out I financed my new boyfriend’s band.”

  “Well, why not let Peter take it over so they’ll be no conflict?”

  “That would’ve been a great idea until today,” Malakei said with a chuckle.

  “Kei, you’re going to have to stop treating Seth with kid gloves. You just told me you think he’s handling things better than you are.”

  “He is. I just….” Malakei turned around and faced the window overlooking the city. “The press can be cruel. Remember when I took you to the Grammys that first year? They hounded you for weeks after that. And then when someone found out I paid off your tuition, they had a field day.”

  “So? I got through it just fine.”

  “You did, but it will be ten times worse for Seth. He’s openly gay, and when they find out I am, they’ll put two and two together. High Stakes will always have that M. Prophet black cloud over them for the rest of the band’s existence.”

  “It’s not a black cloud, Kei. You’re helping them, just like you helped me.”

  “But I’m not fucking you, or falling in love with you.”

  Sheena made a face. “Oh, Kei. Dammit, forget all those people, will you? They have nothing to do with what you and Seth share. Freaking let them say whatever they want. It won’t change what the two of you have.”

  “It won’t for me, but what if he decides he doesn’t want to do this anymore? What if he gets fed up with all the attention and people asking him about me? The stupid questions about who tops or bottoms? The press can be ruthless.”

  Malakei dropped his head.

  “Then, I’ll tell ’em we like to switch.”

  Malakei turned around to see Seth.

  Seth stepped into the office with a wry smile. “Malakei, stop worrying, right? I’m yours, and I’m in it for the long haul.”

  “Awww.”

  Malakei returned the smile. “Sheena, can you—”

  “Of course.” Sheena picked up her purse and turned on her heel. “You’re a lucky guy, you know that? And so is he, and I’m gonna tell you, if you break his heart, I will stomp you with my stilettos, you hear?” Sheena said to Seth.

  Malakei shook his head and snickered.

  Seth didn’t stop looking at Malakei. “You don’t have to worry, love. I won’t do a thing to Malakei, right?”

  Sheena nodded, then left.

  Chapter Twenty-Five

  SETH CLOSED the door and leaned against it. He blew his hair out of his eye. “You’re gonna need to stop worrying about how I’ll handle things. I’m a big boy, you know.”

  “I know… oh don’t I know.” Malakei licked his lips.

  Seth snorted. “Yeah.” He pushed off and ambled over to where Malakei stood. “Give me a chance, Malakei, will you? I’m no child.”

  “But you don’t know about the pressure those fools will put you through for a story.”

  “I don’t, but it’s all right. I can tell them to fuck right off. I take no issue with doing that.”

  “Then you’ll be known as a hothead who doesn’t like interviews.”

  Seth shrugged. “So I won’t win any personality awards. They can always interview Morty and Gio if they don’t like me.”

  Malakei smiled and pulled Seth into him. He raised Seth’s hand to his lips and kissed it. “You’re something.”

  “So you keep saying, Kei. And if that’s really the case, let me prove my point. I’m not scared at all. I agree we should wait a bit to spring the news, but I won’t go into permanent hiding from these fucks.”

  “But you would for me?”

  “Not permanently, no, but I won�
��t rush you. You’re tops in your world and profession. Coming out for you would be huge. While it’s not ideal for me to be dating someone closeted, I will do it for you because… well, fuck, you’re Malakei Oakley.”

  “So I am. And I promise you….” Malakei placed both hands on Seth’s cheeks and gazed into his sea-blue eyes. When he focused on them, Malakei instantly got lost, and he wanted to drown in them for as long as he lived. “I will come out soon. I won’t leave you hanging.”

  Seth smiled and bowed his head once. “Whenever you’re most comfortable, it’ll be fine with me. I’m fallin’ hard for you, Malakei. You’re all I think about these days. I haven’t had a cigarette ’cause of you.”

  Malakei laughed. “Yeah? Is that why you went off on Pete?”

  “That and I don’t trust him for as far as I can throw him. It’s perfectly fine that I’ll never be one of his favorite people either. It’s only my mom, you, and the boys that I care about. Everyone else can suck it.”

  Malakei grinned. “I love that attitude you have.”

  “You do?” Seth ran his hands over Malakei’s shoulders. “Then show me, Kei. Show me how much.”

  Malakei swiped his tongue over his lips as he continued to gawk at him. His breath caught in his throat, and he swallowed hard. “Here?”

  “Fuck yeah, man. Lena’s feeding the boys now, so the outside is clear.”

  Malakei nodded. “She is? Did you put her up to that?”

  “I did, and the boys know to keep her away from her desk for a while.”

  Malakei blew out a breath. “You’re sneaky, devious….”

  “You love it, though.” Seth moved back and removed his shirt, revealing the tattoos Malakei loved to gawk at. He tossed it aside, then unbuttoned the top of his jeans. He pulled his thick shaft out.

  Malakei ogled Seth’s cock standing proud above the waistband of his denims. He nibbled on his bottom lip. “Damn, babe. I might need to take up smoking soon.”

  Seth chuckled and toyed with his dick. “No you don’t. All we need is each other for relief.” With a ravenous look in his eye, Seth walked over and tugged at Malakei’s slacks. He loosened the belt and jerked the zipper down as he pinned Malakei with his heated gaze.

  Malakei groaned when Seth’s hand found the opening, toying with his cockhead through his boxer briefs. He threw his head back a moment and moistened his lips.

  “Malakei. You want me now, yeah?” Seth spoke softly to him. His mouth ghosted over the fleshy part of his neck, right below his chin. As he did it, Seth removed Malakei’s cock from under the fabric.

  “I… I want you. Oh damn, I want you,” Malakei managed. His heartbeat sped up and his skin tingled from Seth’s affections.

  Seth sucked the area and moved back up to meet Malakei’s lusty gaze. He pulled Malakei by his nape, bringing him close enough to blow his heated breath over his lips.

  “Seth, stop teasing me,” Malakei said in a throaty growl.

  Seth snickered and darted his tongue into Malakei’s mouth once, then again while he rubbed his cock through his underwear.

  Malakei inhaled sharply and closed his eyes, getting lost in the feeling of Seth’s hands on him. Without thinking, Malakei moved in the same motion of Seth’s rough grip. With each motion, Malakei lost his control along with every thought in his brain. He only concentrated on feeling and bracing himself for what he knew would be the ultimate climax.

  “Are you close, Malakei? Do you want me to join you?”

  The clank of Seth’s pants hitting the hardwood floor. When he opened his eyes, Seth had inched closer to him with his lips parted.

  “Reach for it.”

  Malakei did as asked, tugging Seth’s cock toward him. He rubbed the head of it with his thumb while he jerked his shaft in his palm. Precum dripped from the slit to make the sliding easy.

  “Oh fuck.” Seth pressed his mouth on top of Malakei’s while he continued to work Malakei’s length in the same manner.

  Malakei reciprocated that kiss with all the passion he could muster. He rammed his erection into Seth’s fist as if it were a jackhammer breaking through the ground. “Mmph, oh, Seth.” Malakei’s words died in Seth’s mouth again as they embraced and tangled tongues. The minty mouthwash on Seth’s buds spurred Malakei on.

  Seth groaned into the kiss, allowing Malakei to take full control. He sped up his motions, thrusting his dick into Malakei’s fist. “Fuck, Malakei, I’m right there. I wanna cum.”

  “Do it, baby,” Malakei said in between more kisses and sucks. He was there, too, and he desired them to experience this euphoria together. They were only giving each other hand jobs, but with the way their bodies responded to one another, it felt like so much more.

  Wild.

  Electric.

  Like a plug being inserted into a socket.

  The energy between them was off the charts.

  Malakei couldn’t remember a time when he was so turned on.

  “Come with me, Seth. We’ll do it together if we can,” Malakei managed through hampered breaths. His groin was so full, it hurt. He needed release.

  “Fuck!” Seth yelled at the top of his lungs. He trembled uncontrollably, shooting white strings of cum on Malakei and himself.

  Malakei only watched for a moment, then crushed Seth’s mouth with his own. At any moment, he would join Seth in that bliss. He stopped moving and trembled when Seth slowed his strokes, still kissing and encouraging him at the same time.

  “Your turn, Malakei. I want to drink you. Come for me, lover.”

  Hearing those words, Malakei closed his eyes tight. He threw his head back, spurting streams from the head of his length. Before he could do anything, warmth enveloped the tip of his shaft, sucking hard and pulling more out of him.

  “Oh God, Seth. Yes!” Malakei screamed and leaned back on his elbows. When he opened his eyes, Seth continued to drink from him as if it were his only means of survival. His hair fell over Malakei’s trousers, blue eyes fixated on him as he devoured Malakei.

  Amazed, Malakei couldn’t tear his gaze away from his lover. He looked sexy and so damn hot with his mouth full. Although he could feel his dick softening, he was still aroused beyond belief.

  “Kiss me, Seth. I want your lips.”

  Seth smiled and moved as Malakei asked. Malakei pulled him on top and forced their mouths together. During the embrace, Malakei tasted himself on Seth’s tongue and enjoyed every minute. The moment made him want to go further.

  “Mhmm. You taste so good, Kei. Better than anything.” Seth dragged his hand over his chest.

  “Anything? Even beer?” Malakei was shocked to hear it from his man who loved drinking alcohol.

  Seth smiled and kissed him quick again while he gawked at Malakei. “So much better than beer.” Seth ran his hand along Malakei’s jawline. “A little sweet and bitter all the same.”

  ONCE SETH and Malakei cleaned up, they headed out of the office back to Malakei’s condo. Seth could tell Malakei was nervous, but he reminded him of the security and the fact Malakei lived in the penthouse away from everyone. That seemed to relax him a little, and he didn’t mention his fears anymore. Seth was relieved, but he knew it might not last until the culprit was caught and arrested.

  “Want me to cook?” Seth said as they walked inside.

  “Unnecessary. I have plenty of takeout menus at my fingertips.”

  Seth grimaced. “Is that what you do when you’re alone? Eat takeout?”

  “Not all the time. I might have a sandwich or a salad, sometimes a frozen dinner.”

  Seth laughed. “No, you need sustenance, my man. Whatever you got in here, I’ll whip something up for the both of us.”

  Malakei grabbed Seth around the waist to stop him from walking. “The only thing I want you to whip out is your cock so I can return the favor from this afternoon.”

  “Whoa! You’ve been listening to me, hmm?”

  Malakei smiled and pressed his lips atop Seth’s. “You’re definitely rubbin
g off on me. I think I swore like four or five times today. And you encouraged me to have sex in my office. I’ve never done that.”

  “Well, there’s a first time for everything, lover. I was so turned on….”

  “And now?” Malakei ran the tip of his tongue around Seth’s mouth.

  “Mmph. I’m aroused now, too, but I still want to cook for you.”

  “You don’t have to. I’m not all that hungry. Not for food anyway.” Malakei removed his jacket and tossed it on the sofa. While he loosened his tie, he tilted his head, nuzzling the side of Seth’s neck.

  Seth sucked in air, and his eyes fluttered. He moved his head to give Malakei better access, and apparently, Malakei took full advantage, sucking and nibbling on the skin there. He winced when Malakei bit down, but he enjoyed the feeling nonetheless.

  “Kei. Oh shit, baby.”

  Malakei backed up and unbuttoned his shirt. Once he had them all undone, he took it off and threw it on the couch, next to his jacket.

  Seth stared in awe at Malakei, stripping for him as he himself had so many times before. He could tell Malakei was coming out of his shell. Seth enjoyed watching the transformation so much, he grabbed his dick through his jeans.

  “I want that.” After Malakei kicked off his shoes, he dropped his trousers and stepped out of them. He stood before Seth in only his underwear and socks. “Come here.”

  Seth smiled and walked closer as Malakei wanted. Immediately, Malakei captured Seth’s lips with his own, then stopped only to stare at him. “Sit down so I can claim what’s mine.”

  Seth did as asked, tugging at his jeans on the way down. The minute he got settled, Malakei dropped to his knees in front of him, taking his dick in hand.

  “Kei. Oh God, I’m so hard for you,” Seth managed through short breaths.

  Malakei stroked it and rubbed the tip. “Won’t be for long, babe. Won’t be for long.”

  AFTER A long night of making love again, Seth turned over and glanced at the clock. Eight flashed on the alarm clock, so he rolled over and wrapped his arms around Malakei. Seth didn’t wish to wake him, so he didn’t pull him close as he wanted. He’d let him sleep instead.
