    Summary

    The enormity of their plans hit him, and he swallowed thickly, pushing the anxiety down. Some of what he was feeling must have shown on his face, though, because Jack stepped back a bit, enough to get a good look at Robby. “We don’t have to,” Jack assured. “What we’ve been doing is outrageously good. You know there’s no pressure here, right?”

    “I know,” Robby said, scrubbing a hand behind his neck. “But I do want to. Been thinking about it all day. All week, for fucks sake. Been getting myself off like a goddamn teenager just imagining it,” he added, cheeks heating at the admission but wanting Jack to know just how much he had been looking forward to tonight.

    Summary

    “This is fucking ridiculous,” Robby grumbled while he fumbled to straighten his tie. “Of all the admin bullshit they put us through, this may be the most demeaning.”

    Jack bit back a laugh and knocked Robby’s hands away. “You’re making it worse,” he said and fixed the lopsided bow tie, patting his palm over the silken fabric when he was satisfied. “There. Don’t touch.”

    Stepping back, he made an obvious show of looking Robby up and down, from his neatly brushed hair and trimmed beard to his newly shined dress shoes. “They’ll drop top dollars for you,” Jack said, teasingly, hoping his face didn’t expose his genuine appreciation for just how good Robby looked in the bespoke tuxedo.

    “Ridiculous,” Robby muttered. “Hospital administration is parading department chiefs on stage like we’re contestants in a reality show.”

    Summary

    Lifting himself just enough to be heard, Robby shook his head. “It’s not like that, Jack. No evidence needed.”

    “It sure as hell looks like it’s like that,” Jack said, his anger bleeding through despite his best effort to keep himself in check.

    Robby looked directly at Jack for the first time since Jack had arrived. His eyes held a mix of shame and pain, and Jack was furious at the thought that somehow Robby thought he had to excuse the person who’d done this to him. But before Jack could say as much, Robby rocked him to his core by saying, “I asked for this.”

    Summary

    “You okay?” Robby asked, concern lacing his voice, all of this attention now on Jack.

    “Yeah, yeah. It’s—fuck this is dumb.” Jack mentally braced himself. “So you’re on Grindr, right?”

    “...Yes,” Robby answered hesitantly, his brow furrowing in confusion. “And I know you know that, so…” He trailed off and raised his eyebrows, questioning.

    Jack did some quick mental math on how to have this conversation without humiliating himself and came up empty, so he took the direct approach. “How would you advise an older bi guy who’s new to the whole ‘sex with men’ scene?”

    Jack comes to Robby for help, but things don’t go as planned for either of them.

    Summary

    “Jack,” she answered, nodding toward the window in Robby’s view. “He’s one of the most in-demand Doms here.”

    Robby turned his full attention back to the room, shaking his head minutely at a creeping awareness as he took another look at the Dom’s build, his salt-and-pepper curls. The freckles dotting his fair skin. It wasn’t possible—

    Then the Dom shifted his position, and Robby let out a shocked noise that attracted the attention of the others in his vicinity. The Dom in the play room—with his perfect composure and steady command—was Jack.
