UNBREAKABLE BOND novel Chapter 12

***

As Chris drove home from Shane’s house that evening, he couldn’t keep the smile off his face. Not only had Shane invited him into his home, he hadn’t screamed at him or pulled a gun to his head. And not only was Chris grateful for that, he also found it to be very positive. Shane had always been a gentle person so Chris wasn’t surprised at Shane’s calmness. That gentility had been one of the many things Chris had loved about him. His Nick had been such a sweet person, Chris thought with a soft laugh. But Shane’s handsomeness had defiantly been the highest on Chris’ list of things he’d loved about Shane. If anything, the man looked even more handsome now, Chris thought with a shake of his head.

Chris didn’t think there was any harm in admiring a man with a good body. And God knew Shane had a hell of a hot body. And that face…damn! He’d always thought Shane was the most beautiful creature and seeing an older and hotter Shane had only made Chris admire the man even more. He couldn’t help but think about how Shane had looked that evening. The man was so sexy it was a sin. Those pants Shane had been wearing had fit his arse so sexily it had been a delight to watch.

And that white long-sleeved t-shirt looked totally hot on Shane. Chris had however tried not to dwell much on how sexy and hot the man looked because apart from the fact that his priority was to get the guy to forgive him, he didn’t think it was appropriate for a straight man to go drooling over how hot another man looked. That would be so gay, Chris chuckled.

His brief encounter with Shane whilst they were kids was the only male sexual encounter Chris had ever had. He was definitely not attracted to men but he respected the fact that people should be allowed to love whoever they wanted. Two out of his seven friends, Damon and Kyle were in relationships with men and Chris didn’t have any problem with that. Damon was happily married to Tristan, who Chris adored, and Kyle was engaged to Aaron who Chris loved to bits. But even though Chris didn’t have any problem with men loving men, he didn’t have any intention of getting down and dirty with a guy. He was very much okay with boobs and curves as he’d teasingly told Ken, Kyle’s twin brother some years back.

Though his reaction to Shane that evening…finding Shane sexy and all…had been a bit of a shock to Chris, he assured himself that finding Shane sexy and attractive was not strange as he’d admired Shane since they were kids and had even been in love with him. Well, his main goal was to be around the guy till he forgave him. If that meant Chris would have to see more of that hot body and beautiful face, he had no problem at all. He was very happy with the way things had gone that evening and he planned on continuing his ‘stalking’ of Shane, till he got what he desired.

When Shane got to his gate the next day after work, he stopped beside Chris and rolled down his window.

“Come on in.” He said coolly and drove in. This time, the gate didn’t come down till Chris entered. “Go make yourself comfortable.” Shane gestured towards the den.

Chris went to the den, turned on the projector and sat in one of the comfortable couches, and watched the news. When Shane came in, he’d changed into white drawstring lounging pants and a wine coloured t-shirt. He looked relaxed and breathtakingly good. He had in his hands a brown carrier bag which he handed over to Chris.

“Your stuff from yesterday,” Shane said quietly, nodding at Chris’ murmured thanks. “Drink?”

“Sure.”

“Scotch?” Shane asked.

“That will be fine. Thanks.” Chris replied and turned back to face the screen.

Again they drunk in silence till Chris thought it was time to leave. “Err…I have your stuff in my car. I’ll just…”

“I’ll go with you to pick it up,” Shane said and got up.

Shane silently followed Chris out to his car and took his enveloped clothes from Chris. “Thanks.” He mumbled.

“Thank you too,” Chris said. “See you tomorrow.” At Shane’s nod, Chris got into his car and drove off.

Chris looked at Shane through his driving mirror as he drove away and couldn’t help but notice the forlorn look on Shane’s face as he stared after his car. Fuck, he wished he could go back and give Shane a hug. The man looked so lonely. Didn’t he have any friends or women in his life, Chris wondered. He was surprised some sweet lady hadn’t grabbed Shane already.

The guy was wealthy, handsome, and sweet. He was an ideal bachelor so why was he always home alone, Chris wondered. Well, until Shane felt ready enough to talk to him, Chris knew he would never know. It was a contented Chris who entered the gate of his stylishly designed house that evening, but his joyful bubble instantly burst when he saw the car parked in his driveway.

“Shit,” Chris swore.

He really wasn’t in the mood to deal with Tracy at that particular time. He needed time to catch up on his work since spending time two days in a row with Shane meant he had stuff to do.

“Hey, baby.” Chris heard Tracy’s voice before he saw her face through his bedroom window. “Guess what…” The beautiful voluptuous redhead had a bottle of wine in her hand as she looked down at Chris.

“Booty call?” Chris called out dryly. He needed to have a serious talk with his new housekeeper. The fact that she saw him with a particular woman more than once didn’t mean she had to give that woman access to his bedroom when he wasn’t around. Once, twice, thrice…they were all mere hookups.

Tracy burst into laughter. “You got that right, hon.”

And when Chris eventually entered his bedroom, it was to see a deliciously naked Tracy lying expectantly in bed with a gold foil packet between her fingers. All she had on was one of his red ties around her neck and her killer red high-heeled platforms, which matched perfectly with her long red nails and red pouty lips.

“Nice.” Chris breathed, reaching down to open his fly. “What happened to going off to get hitched?” Chris asked dryly. He didn’t miss how Tracy’s eyes widened in surprise when he pulled out his already hard cock and started stroking it. Chris was surprised himself that he was already hard.

Tracy’s lust-filled eyes followed the movement of Chris' fingers as he got onto the bed. “I missed your cock.” She breathed as she sat up and reached for his cock, licking her red lips in anticipation. “I got your magnum right here.” She purred as one corner of her luscious mouth kicked up in an adoring smile.

“I can see that.” Chris chuckled as he watched Tracy tear the foil with her teeth.

She put the condom to her lip and bent forward to roll it on Chris with her mouth. She had to stop halfway though and push the condom the rest of the way with her hand as Chris was too big to fit inside her mouth. Tracy then reached for the tube of lube on the bed and slicked Chris up. She’d once tried to take Chris without lube and it hadn’t been easy. The guy was thick. Since then, Tracy always made sure something slick was close by whenever Chris was around. Looking up seductively at Chris, she murmured, “Give it to me stud.”
