because I haven’t seen him for two years.”
    “What about
the rest of your family?”
    “What
family?” Josh said wryly. “My mum died of an overdose when I was small, and I
don’t have any siblings—thank God. Otherwise I’d probably have them to
look after because I wouldn’t trust my dad to look after a cat.”
    “Grandparents?”
    “Dunno. If
they’re still alive, they never visited while I still lived at home. So there
you have it, my sob story.” Josh propped himself up on one elbow and glared at
Rupert defensively. “But you don’t need to feel sorry for me. I’m doing just
fine. I’ve got a life plan and I’m sticking to it. Work, study hard, leave uni
with a decent degree, and find a different job eventually. In the meantime,
this works for me.”
    “Good for
you, then,” Rupert said, and he meant it. He was honestly impressed by Josh’s
resilience and determination. But he wondered where dating and relationships
fitted into Josh’s plan. He guessed they were filed away under “maybe in the
future” along with the different job.
    When Rupert’s
time with Josh was over, he got up and dressed reluctantly. Josh was sitting on
the edge of the bed pulling on his socks when Rupert was ready to go.
    “Thanks,”
Rupert said.
    “You’re
welcome.” Josh’s lips curved. Rupert couldn’t decide whether he was teasing or
not.
    “I’d like
to see you again… for another appointment.”
    “Sure.”
    Josh stood,
and Rupert moved closer. Without thinking too much about what he was doing, he
cupped Josh’s jaw with one hand and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. “I’ll text
you.”
    When he
pulled back, Josh licked his lips.
    “Okay.”

 
     
     
    CHAPTER SIX
     
    When Rupert
texted to arrange a midweek appointment, Josh agreed to see him on Wednesday
night. He didn’t have another client booked till Friday, when he was seeing
Philip again.
    They met in
the usual hotel and, as always, the sex was good. Rupert found the fading marks
on Josh’s neck and sucked them back to the surface as he fucked him. He traced
the red blotches with his fingers as they lay in a sweaty, postcoital heap in
the ruined bed.
    “Maybe you
should piss on me instead,” Josh teased.
    “Huh?”
Rupert’s eyebrows shot up, and then he flushed with guilty realisation. “Yeah…
maybe I should.”
    Josh
grinned, his suspicions confirmed. “The guy I saw on Saturday commented on
them.”
    “Good.”
Rupert’s cheeks flushed as he admitted in a rush, “I hate to think of you with
anyone else.”
    His
possessiveness was a turn-on, so Josh played up to it. He moved to straddle
Rupert, sliding his hands into his hair and kissing along the pale copper
stubble that dusted his jaw.
    “Does it
help if I tell you that I think of you while they fuck me?” It was true enough.
Josh had found Rupert sneaking into his fantasies while he was trying to come
for the guy on Saturday. “That I wish it was your cock in my arse, your hand on
my dick….”
    The sharp
catch of Rupert’s breath told Josh he liked what Josh was saying. Rupert
gripped Josh’s arse and pulled him closer so that their hardening cocks rubbed
together.
    “But how do
I know it’s true? How do I know you’re not just telling me what I want to
hear?”
    “Come on,
Rupert. You can see how much you turn me on. The other guys are good, but I’ve
already done stuff with you that I won’t let them do. You sucked my cock
without a rubber, remember? You rimmed me. I haven’t had anyone else do that in
ages. It’s different with you.”
    And yes,
Josh knew this was what Rupert wanted to hear, but it was all true. He meant
every word. “Feel how hard you make me.” He gasped as Rupert curled his fingers
around Josh’s erection.
    Josh came
like that, fucking into Rupert’s fist while Rupert stroked him through it. Then
Rupert jerked himself off afterwards while Josh murmured words of dirty
encouragement between kisses.
    Later,
Rupert failed to hide his
