“Sweet dream?”

“What are you doing here, Ty?” I pushed myself up, careful to keep my junk covered. “And how’d you get into my room?”

“It’s a gay resort. Have you seen me lately?” Ty flashed a charming smile and pulled his tank inward from the sides, exposing both nipples. His chest puffed out a little.

“Okay, so that answers my second question, but not the first. Aren’t you a little early? Your wedding isn’t for another two weeks.”

“Come on, bro. You think I’m gonna leave you here all by yourself after what just happened?” He gestured to my arm. “At least when I got hurt, I wasn’t already at the fucking Olympics. You’re never gonna say it, but you’re glad I’m here. Just take my help.”

I lunged forward as the tears fell.

“Whoa! Easy, bro, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you cry.”

“You didn’t,” I managed to say. “I’m just glad you’re here.”

“Okay, so you can say it.” Ty chuckled, rubbing his hand across my back.

I calmed down enough to pull back. I wiped my face as best I could and gave him a smile.

“It’s a nice dick, Luke, but could you put it away? I’m almost a married man. What would Declan say if he walked in here right now?”

I glanced down and sure enough, the blanket had shifted. I swore and covered up. “Is Declan here?”

“Nah, he’s back in LA, waiting for our custom tuxedos to be finished. I didn’t want him up here yet though because I wanted all of my focus to be on you.”

“Shane’s here, you know.”

“It’s not the same and you know it.”

I smiled and admitted he was right.

“Cam’s been here too, evidently, because I can smell that your dream actually happened. You need a shower.”

“Cam’s an amazing fuck.”

“I’ll take your word for it, and I’ll keep my mouth shut about how earth-shatteringly amazing Declan is in the sack, so you can still feel good about your sex life.”

“It isn’t a competition, Ty.”

“Have you met us? Of course it’s a competition.”

“Well, how about we all whip our dicks out at your wedding and see who’s the biggest?”

“I don’t think my mom would like that very much, Luke.” Ty shook his head. “And we know who has the biggest one already.”

“Zeph,” we said in unison, laughing.

“If it wasn’t for that Gatorade bottle next to it, it would’ve been hard to tell,” I said.

“Next to it? You mean, standing in the shadow of it!”

“Okay, okay. Are you going to get off my bed so I can shower?”

“There ya go, bro.” Ty stood up and made his way over to the window, so I headed to the bathroom. “Need any help in there?”

“I’ll let you know if I do,” I called out, starting the water. “Where are you staying, anyway?”

“With you for now. If that’s okay.”
