Free Never Say Never by Jenna Byrnes Page B

Either unsure about how to help her any longer or uncomfortable with her condition, he didn’t know. But there were just a few people who came and went these days. Mostly it was him and one neighbour seeing to her needs.
    He chugged the rest of his beer, enjoying the cool burn as it slid down his throat. He stripped and shut off the light before climbing into bed. He should brush his teeth, and he needed to release his hair from the ponytail. But he felt heartsick inside and didn’t want to do anything but sleep.
    He reached for his dick and wasn’t surprised to find it semi-hard. Ever since he’d come home and started thinking about Adam, he’d experienced nightly hardons. He’d stroked himself to completion under the sheets, night after night. He’d fantasised about his old lover and how things might be with him again. He’d empty his balls into a towel or T-shirt, suffered a pang of guilt remembering his mother and fallen asleep thinking about Adam.

    He’d kept his distance like Adam had requested. He’d wanted to give his old lover some time to adjust to the idea of him being back. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like Adam had been thinking about him at all.
    After tonight, he’d certainly picture Adam in a whole new way. Mitch’s cock twitched, and he grasped it, dragging the skin from top to bottom. Despite the collar and leash, Adam had looked damn good. Sexy and hot, just like I remembered . Watching his former lover being ridden had been interesting but upsetting. The asshole doing the riding had jerked him back and forth like an animal, and Adam had accepted it.
    Mitch’s erection lengthened and hardened. No! He released his shaft and flopped onto his side. I will not let the image of Adam wearing a collar arouse me . It’s fucking sick .
    He closed his eyes tight and willed sleep to come.
     

     
    Mitch paced around his mother’s kitchen the next morning. I need to talk to Adam, and I don’t want to wait . He’d take care of her breakfast dishes then head over to Full Throttle.
    Adam might not want to see him, but it was time to clear the air.
    A nervous tingle zipped down Mitch’s spine. He needed some answers about what he’d witnessed the previous night. He’d remain calm, choose his words carefully and approach Adam with tact.
    All his good intentions disappeared when he faced Adam on the sidewalk outside the fitness centre. “What the fuck were you doing last night?”
    Adam scowled. “What I do is of no concern to you, anymore. You left a year ago.
    Completely your choice, I might add.”
    “I know, damn it.” Mitch shrugged nervously. “I made some mistakes, no question. But you—”
    “Have moved on,” Adam said firmly, folding his arms across his chest. “I want my key back.”
    Mitch’s mind raced as he made up a lie. “I don’t have it on me. I could drop it by.”
    Adam’s eyebrows rose. “Do you really want to run into Nick again? I can’t begin to tell you what a bad idea that is.”

    “He doesn’t bother me.” Mitch tried to sound forceful. He couldn’t count the number of ways Nick did bother him. “A man who does that to another man must be a damned insecure pussy.”
    Adam took a step towards him, and Mitch felt the warmth of his breath as he spoke.
    “Nick is no pussy. He’s a wonderful guy, and we’re very close. This has nothing to do with you, so I don’t intend to stand here and discuss it.”
    “He had a fucking collar on you, man!” Mitch muttered in a rush of emotion. “I mean, what’s up with you? You’re not a fucking animal.”
    Adam set his jaw with defiance. “I can be whatever I want with Nick. It’s totally my choice.” He reached under the collar of his T-shirt and pulled out a thick chain necklace.
    “Just like it’s my choice to wear this. Nick and I are in a relationship, Mitch. I like how he treats me.”
    Mitch couldn’t believe his ears or eyes.
