When the hair stylist walked back in, Roy’s face was flushed enough for the makeup artist to ask if he was using any blush.Bryan smirked at him, and he had to bite his lip to hold back a groan. The man was well aware of his charm.After the hair stylist added some highlights to his hair without cutting or actually dyeing it, they left.Then they headed to an exclusive fashion house. The fact that none of the suits hanging on the racks had any price tags caused immense worry for Roy.“Have your dream suit designed. It will be ready by the time we’re going on the trip.”“Where exactly are we headed?”“You’d find out when it’s time. Now, do as I said.”“I’d rather you choose for me,” Roy said nervously, new to such surroundings. It should have been a store, but it had the aura of a very, very exclusive bank. “You know….you are the Mr. Exclusive fashion.”“No. You should be the one to pick your own clothes. I trust you.”And then Bryan was gone.“I’ve never seen Mr. Anderson so gentle be
“We can’t just fly to Kauai!” Roy had a hard time keeping up with Bryan. The car ride back from the office had been spent mostly in silence on his part while Bryan had a furious conversation on the phone. Although he was most-definitely speaking English, Roy could barely make out what he was saying from how fast he was hissing out, ‘father.Anyway, the mention of father was enough clue for Roy to have a hint of the identity of the person on the other end of the line.Roy hadn’t been entirely concerned, content with looking out of the window during the ride as he’d assumed that Bryan was just being nice by taking him home.Because of that, it took him a while to take in the fact that they were indeed leaving the state and that the limousine was parked right in the center of an airport hangar. “Yes, we can,” Bryan answered as he took Roy’s hand and practically dragged him with him, “Remember I told you we had a place to be?”Roy watched Bryan give an absent-minded nod to the rows of un
In an unexpected flash of insight, Roy realized that the other man had liked him.Except for Bryan Anderson, no other guy had displayed a blatant interest in him so early and quickly after meeting him for the first time. Was this because having someone like Bryan Anderson interested in him made Roy appear more attractive than usual?“Roy,” the Lycan Prince next to him said with a growl, and just like that Roy forgot all about Ralph. Bryan was looking at him with fierce hunger in his green eyes.“Kiss me.”Slowly, Roy moved close to him and pressed his lips to Bryan’s.It seemed as if that was the signal Bryan had been waiting for.In one swift move, Bryan lifted him off the seat and pulled Roy into his lap. He gasped against Bryan's lips but he didn’t let go. Digging his fingers into his chin to properly angle his mouth, Bryan was able to push his tongue further inside Roy’s mouth and with it, he swept aside his remaining reservations.Roy’s arms crept up on his chest before slowly cu
.“I can’t believe we did that,” Roy couldn’t help but half-wail as Bryan led him to the private washroom between the public cabin and his office. He tried to take the small towel Bryan was holding but he shook his head.“Let me clean you up,” Bryan said softly.Roy squirmed, embarrassed, and touched at the same time at Bryan’s unexpectedly tender attention.“I love making you scream for me,” Bryan said, the satisfaction brimming in his voice more than audible. He straightened, tossing the wet towel into the laundry bin before opening the glass cabinet over the sink.When he closed it, Bryan had a pair of briefs packed and sealed in a silver foil bag. “I had this prepared in advance.”“Thanks,” He mumbled as he took the underwear.Even though Roy knew it was silly of him to ask, especially after what had happened between them, Misty swallowed and inquired, “Could you turn your back while I put this on?”Bryan grinned. “No.”Roy glared at him. “You’re having fun with this, aren’t you?”
Bryan inclined his head with a derisive smirk, “Of course, Father. Your wish has always been my command.” There was a hint of mockery in his tone that made Roy nervous.He would never have pegged Bryan to be the disrespectful type, but this was somewhat inevitable after the conversation he’d listened to between Bryan and his father.When the two walked away, the formerly warm smile on Darnell’s face was strained.She beckoned her sons to come forward, muttering, “Boys, why don’t you take dear Roy to the refreshments table? After such a long trip, I’m sure he’s thirsty.”“Mother, we are going to join them!”She was long gone before the girls piped up, following her husband and son.Roy had a feeling that Darnell would have sprinted if she didn’t happen to have what seemed like a ten-foot-long train trailing behind her.Abel shook his head. “Here we go again.” Cain turned to Roy and slapped him lightly on the back, “Sorry man, we have to go.”He and his twin left, too.Roy was startled
Roy’s mind was blank through the whole night and he had trouble sleeping. A sense of foreboding that’d enveloped him while he was with Bryan’s siblings failed to leave and even Hailey noticed but he couldn’t give an adequate explanation. The next morning, he went to the bathroom to have a quick shower and then took a taxi to Anderson Inc. in hopes of getting answers from Bryan as to why he was so quick to dismiss him without saying a word to him. But when he arrived at the company, the legal department of Anderson inc. was a mess, and everyone’s face was filled with trepidation. Fortunately, Kristine resumed today, and after Roy filled her in on everything that happened between him and Bryan—leaving out the sexual details, the Lycan part, and meeting his family. She gasped. Already, before Roy arrived, she had been told a few bits and pieces of the story from the gossiping staff but hearing it from Roy explained everything. “So I was right!” she fist-bumped the air, “Mr. Anderson

Roy could sense that they were mind-linking because they shared the same expression Bryan’s siblings had shared that day in the hotel.He lowered his eyes onto a pattern on the floor, feeling the hair at the back of his neck tingle with tension.He jerked upright when Bryan made a growling noise at the back of his throat, his eyes menacing as he glared at his father.Finally, his father broke eye contact and scoffed, “Fine. You have ten minutes.”That said, he strolled out of the hospital room and the door slammed shut behind him, leaving Bryan and Roy in an uncomfortable silence.Just as Roy parted his lips to speak, Bryan leaped from the bed and drew Roy into his arms, burying his face into Roy’s hair.Roy wasn’t sure but he could swear he felt a wetness on his scalp…Was Bryan crying?His heart constricted and it became harder to breathe. Was his strong Lycan Prince crumbling against him?He raised the limp arms dangling by his sides and wrapped them around Bryan, rubbing down his b
