you’re not going to make him your mate, or no you didn’t answer my question?” Caleb bellowed out his question loud enough that the men in the garden perked up their heads.
Ignoring him, McBride entered the big house and took the stairs two at a time. When he got to Quintus’s room, he was surprised to find the door was closed. He pressed his ear against the heavy wood, but he didn’t hear anything.
“He’s sleeping, sir.” The butler had just come out of McBride’s room. When he stepped down the hall and looked in, he realized he’d made his bed and straightened everything up. The lotion bottle he and Caleb had tossed between them had been returned to the vanity. Damn that just looking at the thing had the power to put the image of Caleb’s lotion-slicked fist around his prick into the forefront of McBride’s mind.
“Did Renner say how Quintus was doing?”
“He said he should be fine, but after the shock of the encounter he needed some rest.”
“Where is Renner now?”
“I do not know, sir, but I will endeavor to find out.”
“No. I’ll find him.” McBride went down the stairs at a far more sedate pace. At the bottom of the steps, he saw Renner crossing the yard, heading toward his house. Stepping out, McBride realized that Caleb was still in the yard. Rather than reminding him to get to work, McBride decided that he would keep on ignoring him. It was juvenile, but it certainly seemed to be beneficial in keeping himself away from an interlude with Caleb. However, Caleb seemed bound and determined not to let McBride go so easily. Caleb took ground-eating strides until he was next to McBride.
“ No you’re not going to make him your mate, or no you aren’t going to answer my question?”
“Go away, Caleb.”
“I want an answer.”
“Too bad.”
Caleb reached out and grasped McBride’s arm.
When he turned to chastise him, Caleb yanked him close, and kissed him. The kiss was raw with passion and dirty with need. He didn’t seem to care who saw them, or perhaps that was the point. Even though he didn’t want to, McBride pushed Caleb away. Very deliberately, McBride wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Caleb’s eyes went wide. Before he could say or do anything, McBride continued on to Renner’s house.
Normally he knocked before entering, but he was in a hurry to get away from Caleb, so he simply opened the door and stepped in. The last thing he expected was to find was Renner furiously masturbating in the center of the living room.
Chapter 5
Renner was just about to climax when McBride stepped in. That, in and of itself, wasn’t what was so embarrassing since Renner had stroked himself plenty of times while McBride fed. It was the fact that Renner was dressed in his tight, leather gear. That was what mortified him. Wrist gauntlets covered his forearms while clinging shorts constricted his lower body, putting his cock and balls on display. A half mask covered the upper part of his face, allowing him to take deep breaths of the rich scent of the leather but leaving his mouth free so he could imagine he was using it to please his master. Always, his master had been nameless, faceless, but now, Renner imagined himself on his knees, sucking Quintus’s cock.
“Zooks!” McBride stumbled backward, exiting the house. He shook his head, grabbed the door handle, and then slammed it shut so hard the window rattled.
Humiliated beyond words, Renner was tearing his gear off as quickly as he could. McBride had never just walked into his home. Never. Why today of all days? Usually, Renner waited for nightfall, and even then he almost always went into his bedroom, but today he could barely control himself long enough to get into his own house.
What had pushed him over the edge was seeing Quintus’s cock. He’d been drinking from Renner’s neck, and then Quintus had shoved his hand into his underwear. By stretching his neck and looking down, Renner had been able to watch him fist
