The Twisted Oak

He wondered if Wade knew that if he rolled over and made a move, Lance would probably melt in an instant. Damn, he was a goner and knew it.


The bed shifted and Wade turned. “Seriously, Lance. Are you okay?” He sounded sincere.


Lance let out a long sigh. “Yeah,” he lied. “I guess it’s just been a long day. Lot of new information to digest.”


“Do you regret doing this? I know this is probably very hard for you. And now Milton wants to make things even more difficult.”


Lance quickly flipped onto his other side. “God, no! I don’t regret this. I wantto do this,” he insisted. Albeit not completely for unselfish reasons.


Wade chuckled and Lance’s dick started to harden. He’d never heard anyone with a sexier laugh. “What’s so funny?”


“You are. You wantto do this? Nobody wants to be in a fake marriage.”
