He barely finished the question before all of us erupted into laughter. Poor Ezra was drunk enough not to care though, and I watched him leave with Colton and Zeph.

“I’m proud of you for resisting Zeph’s offer,” Ty said to Miles, who just shrugged and mumbled something only Ty could hear.

I saw Ty’s eyebrows go up, but ignored it and asked Austin how Erika was doing instead.

Another drink and another hour later and I was close to falling asleep. Miles had already done so - on Ty’s lap - and Austin and O couldn’t keep their hands off each other, despite Remy’s presence. I had only noticed the bodyguard a few minutes ago, when Austin went to the bathroom and Remy had appeared out of nowhere to escort him there.

Whether we were tired or horny or both, the group was ready to go. We tried to find Ezra, Colton or Zeph before leaving, but sent a text instead. I hoped Ezra made it back safe, but at least this was the United States and not some random foreign country.

“He’ll be fine,” Luke said. “I can tell you’re worrying.”

“Coach will-”

“He’s with Colton and Zeph-”

“I’m not sure Coach would accept that as reasonable supervision,” I said.

Luke shrugged. “He’s an adult, Cam. He’ll be okay.”

I nodded and followed the other guys outside. It was nice to finally be able to hear myself think, but damn, there was a little nip to the air.

“Two minutes,” Ty said, carrying a sleeping Miles in his arms.

“You coming back with us?” Luke asked.

“I’ll get Miles to his room, then head back to the hotel. Hopefully I can fall asleep before Colton and Zeph get back.”

“Jesus, they’re loud enough in real life, I can’t imagine the bedroom noise,” Austin said.

“Porn. It’s pretty much the loudest gay porn you’ve ever seen,” I said.

“Wanna trade rooms?” O asked Ty.

“I’ve slept in an Olympic Village. You can keep your twin bed.” Ty turned to Luke. “You staying with Cam? Do I even need to ask?”

“You’ll be fine going back yourself?”

“I’ll be fine going back myself.”

A large Escalade with a purple Uber sign lit up on the dash pulled up.

“Here’s our ride,” Ty said.

I shouldn’t have been surprised, but I kind of was.

Hudson was waiting at the village for us, and Ty handed a still sleeping Miles off to him.

If that didn’t confirm something was happening between the two of them, I don’t know what did. I guess maybe when I was that young, Noah might’ve waited up for me, but still…the care with which Hudson took Miles from Ty’s arms. He even said, “Thank you.”

Ty walked over to us like that didn’t just happen.

“Are we pretending that didn’t happen?” Luke asked before I could.

“What?” Ty asked. “He was worried about Miles. I told him not to be. He said he was waiting up.”

“So they’re not together?”

“It’s none of my business, Cam. Hudson’s a good guy. Miles couldn’t do much better if they were together.” Ty crossed his arms. “I thought you guys were more mature than this.”
