Pride (Living In Sin #1)

Chapter 36

Alec

I had just had the most amazingly decadent night of my life. There should not have been any way my eyes would wander. And yet, I hadn’t been able to turn away from Des and the way their pants encased their perfect arse. There was just something about Pry’s younger sibling that just drew the eye.

Little Alec was definitely all for it. I swear he was going to get me into shit.

Pry stood slowly, a smirk making my heart beat faster. Without a word, he swaggered off in the opposite direction of Des. Deeper into the club, to the office we both spent our days in, I paused, hovering over what was left of our meal. I didn’t even remember eating it, but let’s face it, it wasn’t like I was going to miss out on Chef’s food. It was a forgone conclusion that the whole plate was empty.

Sighing, I let my head tip back, staring at the high roof. Someone had stuck stars to it and they glowed in the dim light. Why was everything so hard? Little Alec twitched in my pants. He had no problems being hard.

Standing, I huffed and headed after Pry. I didn’t want to wait for him to come back to the apartment to find out what he’d meant about Des. And maybe figure out exactly how I felt about it.

I shouldn’t have been surprised when I came into the office and Pry was sitting on my desk. I was glad I kept it clean, and he wasn’t sitting on any of my paperwork. That would have been beyond frustrating come the next workday.

What was wrong with my brain that when Pry was looking at me like that and all I could think about was crumpled paperwork?

“What do you think of Des?”

That was certainly a loaded question. “The same as everyone else?” I didn’t know what to do with that thought. Pry, Envy, Chef, Ace, and now Des. When I thought about them all I couldn’t help but feel similar. It was worrisome. And frustrating for Little Alec; he didn’t like to be confused.

Pry’s grin grew even more sly, his tongue snaking out to wet his lips. He leant back and my eyes dragged down his body. Pry apparently had no qualms in showing off his body for an audience. He was hard, too, and I fought not to groan.

“That’s good to hear." One hand undid the button at the top of his shirt. “I don’t know what I’d do if you didn’t like my family.”

More buttons came undone, baring his sculpted chest. His dark nipples puckered in the cold air. I wanted to taste them again. Pry had a good way of derailing my thoughts, but I couldn’t say that I minded.

“Well, how many am I going to meet? Just how many siblings do you have, Pry?”

It was like sitting there Pry could lure me forward. His legs parted, and I stepped between them. I was close enough that I could thread my fingers into his belt loops. It was beyond sexy and I couldn’t help but pull us closer together. He was still leaning back, even as he plucked at the buttons. It was one of the sexiest things I had ever seen.

"There are seven of us. You have two more to meet, but hopefully that won't happen for a long while." Even if he sounded put out it didn't stop Pry from rolling his hips forward, pressing our hardening cocks together. Seriously, Pry was going to kill me with sex.

What a way to go.

"Seven? I don't think I've ever met a family that large." Even through the haze of need that ran up my spine I paused. The thought niggled at the base of my neck and made me hesitate. Even Pry's movements stilled and his deep hooded eyes looked up at me. "Before it was like you wanted Des to join us? But they are your family...?"

It was a bit of a sticking point; more so than the idea of multiple people in bed with me. That made my brain short circuit enough. I didn't want to add the idea of siblings to what was already a sticky mess.

Even if Little Alec enjoyed thinking about sticky messes. The pervert.

Pry's control was legendary; I expected him to ignore the question and throw me on the desk and just ravish me. But he pulled back a little, huffing even as he teased me..

“It’s not something I care to explain to just anyone.” Another roll of his hips had my head spinning, and I gripped them to anchor myself. “I don’t think I could deny you anything, though. Even though we have been longer together than anyone else I know, we are not a family unit like you are thinking of.”

I frowned while Pry squirmed. The other man obviously did not care for the taboo turn of questioning. His body wanted to play and tease more but I held firm to Pry’s hips, even if it pissed Little Alec off completely.

“Like step or adopted siblings? Like you don’t all share the same parents?”

His look was heavy, and I hated I didn’t know him well enough to read it.

“More like Brothers in Arms.”

“Like a military family?” That I couldn’t understand. No one in my admittedly small circle was part of the defense forces. If anything, they were more likely to be hippies rather than warriors.

Pry couldn’t be bothered anymore and, somehow, his fingers threaded with my own and he used the hold to grind harder against me. I was going to cum in my pants again at this rate.

“None of us are blood related but the ties we have are stronger than any other. You needn’t worry about any of that when it comes to us.” He pulled me down, pressing his lips into my own even as his legs wrapped around me. Somehow we were even closer together than before.

Apparently there was no more use for talking.
