Chapter 3: Sir Prince
“Why did you tell Lix you needed to see him again?” Mister asked.
I growled with frustration. “Don’t read anything into it. My words came out wrong.”
“And what did you mean to say instead?”
I slid down lower in the seat with discomfort. “I don’t know, but not that.” Everything in me was unsettled. I rubbed my chest over my pounding heart, doing my best to will it to return to normal. “Is this how he makes you feel?”
“That depends.” Mister made a left turn. “Talk it out.”
It was tough to find the right words that didn’t make me sound like I had lost my mind. “It’s like he’s still inside me, like his voice is caressing me until I feel like I’m going to—” I cut myself off with a groan. That was a sentence I’d never be able to finish. My brother did not need to know that I had gotten a hard-on during the concert or that I was still aching to come.
“Like you’re going to what?”
Rather than embarrass myself, I pivoted. “It’s like he filled up all the emptiness inside me with his big voice, but somehow, I still crave more. Is this how I make people feel? This raw, desperate need for something they can’t have or explain? Because I’m not a fan. It’s uncomfortable.”
Mister rubbed his chin as he mulled over my dilemma. “Why uncomfortable?”
“He’s younger than my son, and you have to ask why I’m uncomfortable?” I huffed in annoyance.
My brother looked over at me with surprise. “Are you attracted to him?”
“Ugh, I know I have an ego, but even I’m not that narcissistic.” It was a lie I needed to not be true. “But what gives him the right to fuck me up like this? What’s wrong with me?”
“So, you are attracted to him.”
“Not like that.” I rubbed my chest again, which felt too tight. “He’s beautiful, but not enough to make me interested in men again.”
Are you seriously saying that when he made you want to jerk off to the sound of his voice? When you still want to come because of him? It was so annoying when the asshole in my head taunted me.
“You sure about that?” Mister asked, echoing my doubts.
I glared at him. “You’re really asking me that?”
“Yes, because you’re acting like you’re in full-blown gay panic mode.”
Was that what I was doing? The label hit a little too close to home, but I played it off. “You’re imagining things.”
“Right, because you’re totally going straight to bed tonight and not masturbating while listening to Lix singing on the CD.”
My mouth said, “I would never do that,” but the asshole in my head purred about what a great idea that was. The mere thought of it made my arousal return. Traitorous piece-of-shit dick.
“Uh-huh, sure you wouldn’t.” Mister chuckled before turning serious. “Seriously, it’s not that big of a deal that listening to his amazing voice turned you on. Relax.”
“Oh, so did you get a fucking hard-on from hearing him sing?” I demanded, realizing too late I’d revealed more than I wanted to about my situation.
