“I’m your boyfriend. If he disowns you, I’ll take care of you, baby.”
Jenna clapped her hands. “You two are so cute. This is so marketable. You have no idea.” She squealed.
“No.” I shook my head.
Jenna raised a perfectly manicured brow. “What now?”
“We are not marketable. We’re not going to be pushed as some agenda for gay NASCAR. We’ll do one or two interviews once it’s out, but that’s it. I don’t want people to see me as the guy dating his stepbrother, the bisexual driver, whatever. I’m still Watson Brooks. I’ve always been this guy, and Holt doesn’t need all the attention either.” That was what I was worried about.
“Newsflash, Watts, it’s going to happen the second this story breaks.” Jenna sighed. “You sure you want to do this? Because you’re going to have to build some big gates at your place. It’s not a bad thing. You’re both adorable as hell. Probably going to get a lot more invites to some celebrity-heavy events.”
Fuck. “We’re doing this, but under our terms,” I reminded her. “Right, baby?” I asked Holt, who suddenly looked terrified. “Holt, you still with me on this?” I tilted my head to look at him.
“Uh, yeah.” But he didn’t sound like he was.
I twisted my body around to face Holt. “You’re sure? We can continue to hide from everyone. Forever, if that’s what you want.” I cupped his head in my hands to bring those hazel eyes to me. “Say the words, H, and we never tell a single soul.” I leaned down to press my forehead against his.
“I want this.” Holt gripped my wrists. “You know I want this. I want the world to know I’m yours, Watson.”
“Yeah, you totally are. But you know what’s better than that, baby? I’m one hundred percent yours, too.”
Chapter Fifteen
Holt
I dragged my hand over the smooth countertop in the kitchen as the realtor, Gina, droned on about all the amenities included. This all seemed so overwhelming. We had come home from Wisconsin, dropped our things off at the house, and immediately came here. Our parents were at work, so we hadn’t even told them our plans yet. I knew they would be surprised but probably excited to finally have a little freedom of their own.
“You hear that, baby?” Watson’s arms wrapped around my waist. “There’s a gym.” He leaned his chin on my head. “We don’t even have to leave the building to work out.” He squeezed me tightly back against his body.
Gina beamed happily at us. “I’ll just let you two to look around. I’ll be downstairs when you’re ready.” When she closed the door behind her, Watson released me, only to spin me around to face him.
“What’s up, H? Do you not like this place? Do you want to look somewhere else? Or is this too fast for you?” He tucked a finger beneath my chin. “It might hurt my feelings, but I only ever want the truth from you.” He rubbed my skin lightly.
I shook my head. “I want this,” I assured him. “It’s just...”
I let out a slow breath before I grabbed Watson’s hand to lace our fingers together, then I dragged him across the small living room, through the hall, and into one of the bedrooms. The carpet was white, plush and when we stepped inside, we sank right in.
