He also looked seriously hot. His cheeks were flushed, his lips were swollen, and the hopeful look in his eyes told me this was something he really wanted—me to meet his parents.

“Are you sure?” I wasn’t exactly the kind of guy people lined up to take home to their parents.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Xander laughed and leaned down to kiss me. “But only if you want to. I realize it’s a big step, and she kind of sprang it on us—”

“I want to,” I said before he could finish, and no one was more shocked than me that I actually meant it. “I’ve just never gone home to meet the parents before.”

“Will you settle for a restaurant?”

“Hmm. I think I can remember which knife and fork to eat my appetizer and entree with.”

“I wouldn’t care if you didn’t. I just want you there.”

Any shock or panic I’d felt at the idea of a sit-down dinner with Xander’s parents vanished. He seemed so genuinely pleased at the idea that his excitement was difficult to ignore.

“You look way too happy right now.”

“What? I shouldn’t be happy to introduce my boyfriend to my parents?”

“You should, but considering your parents already know me and probably think I’m a heathen—”

“They know the teenage Sean.”

“That’s even worse,” I said, making Xander laugh.

“Stop worrying.”

“Easier said than done.”

Xander lowered his head and began to kiss his way down my neck. “Well, maybe I can help distract you.”

My dick stood up and paid attention to that. Xander threw the covers back and began to kiss and lick his way across my chest. I shut my eyes and ran my fingers through his hair, and when Xander circled my nipple with his tongue, I thrust my hips up against him.

He scraped his teeth over the spot he’d just licked, and when I twisted my hands in his hair and jerked his head up, Xander’s eyes met mine and he grinned.

“Distracted yet?”

I rubbed my cock up against his and licked my lips. “Getting there.”

With his eyes on mine, Xander lowered his head and licked a path up the center of my sternum. “I wonder what else I could do to take your mind off things?”

I had plenty of ideas, and they all revolved around his mouth on a very specific part of me. Something Xander agreed with, clearly, because he went back to kissing his way down my torso, where he traced all the ridges and grooves with that wicked tongue.

Goddamn, he was driving me crazy. Then he opened his mouth and sucked the tip of my cock between his lips.

“Fuckin’ hell,” I said, and slammed my eyes shut.

Xander shifted further down the bed until he was on his stomach between my thighs. He lowered his lips down my throbbing shaft, and I arched up into it.

All thoughts other than his hands, mouth, and the sexy sucking sounds left my mind. I was too busy now thinking about how I could prolong the pleasure he was giving, so I could stay lodged in his talented mouth.

“Xander,” I growled, fisting my hands in his hair.

He drew his lips up my length, and when his lust-hazed eyes found mine, I shook. Christ, he was so damn hot, and with those sinful lips all sticky and swollen from my dick, he looked like sex personified.

Unable to stop myself, I reached down and swiped my thumb across his full lower lip. He sucked it inside.

“Distracted?”

“So fucking distracted, I can’t even remember my own goddamn name.”

Xander’s smile was downright devilish as he lowered his head back between my thighs. By the time six a.m. rolled around, the only thing I could remember was that Xander had a really talented mouth—and I thanked God it was mine.

“SO JUST HOW fancy is this place?”

I smiled at Sean’s question as I leaned back in my chair and stared out at the city lights of Chicago. I’d just finished up with my broadcast for the night and was waiting for him to arrive so we could head out to meet my parents.

I was looking forward to tonight, but I had to admit, I was a little nervous about my mother’s initial reaction to me dating Bailey’s brother. I hoped it wouldn’t be an issue, and my mother wasn’t the type to intentionally start trouble. But with everything as touchy as it was right now, the last thing I needed was any doubt in Sean’s mind when it came to the two of us. Mine either, for that matter.

She had texted and
