Just a Bit Shameless (Straight Guys Book 8)

“It’s a bit of a mindfuck. But God, I love you.”

Feeling like his chest was about to burst from happiness, Sam grinned against Dominic’s mouth. “Me, too. But you probably knew that already.”

Dominic started laughing. “Right. ‘It’s just a crush?’ Was that supposed to be a love confession?”

Sam scowled before chuckling, too. “Oh, shut it. I was so obvious, it was embarrassing.”

“I’m trying to be a better man,” he said, looking at Sammy’s lips.

“There’s nothing wrong with you,” Sammy whispered, licking his lips with the tip of his tongue. “Stop saying stupid things and kiss me.”

“I’m trying to be a better man,” he said, looking at Sammy’s lips.

“There’s nothing wrong with you,” Sammy whispered, licking his lips with the tip of his tongue. “Stop say‍

Sammy glowered at him. “I don’t know about other redheads, but this redhead is angry as hell. Apologize for cockblocking me.”

Dominic gave him a bewildered look. “Pardon? I was minding my own business—”

“Argh!”

Sammy was the cutest when he was furious.

Laughing, Dominic caught his fists. “I’m kidding—calm down.”

“You’re the worst,” Sammy said, breathing hard, still flushed with anger.

“I am,” Dominic said with a grin. “Let’s go home. You can yell at me there more effectively.”

The huge brown couch in the living room looked particularly comfy and inviting, and Sam sprawled out on it with a sigh of bliss.

“By all means, make yourself comfortable,” Dominic said wryly, but his eyes were soft as he looked down at him. He picked up Sam’s bag and disappeared into the guest room.

“Order us pizza, Nick!” Sam yelled. “With pepperoni, bacon, and sausage.”

“Do you want me to start a bubble bath for you too?” Dominic called out.

“Great idea!” Sam said, grinning when he heard Dominic laugh and call him a lazy baby.

There was a bubbly feeling in his chest that made it impossible to stop smiling.

Was this what happiness felt like?

Sam laughed. “Stop. I can hear you panicking. I’m not in love with you or anything. I told you—I get a crush every week. I once had a crush on a priest who had been very kind to me. I convinced myself I was tragically in love with him, but then I saw a movie with Tom Hardy and forgot all about my epic love for the priest.”

“That’s reassuring,” Dominic said dryly.

He was angry, and he was angry that he was angry.

“Wanna get deeper in you, fuck into you so good you’d never get my come out of you.”
