Hendry was not looking forward to the day ahead, meeting his dad had never been an enjoyable experience. Aside from the boring conversation, the constant reminder of his dad's high expectations always made him want to roll his eyes and skip the meeting all together. An afternoon rendezvous sounded much better than sitting in a meeting room with his dad, talking about his well-planned future. The future that Hendry couldn't change, well... not everything was set in stone, but he lacked the motivation to make the change, too busy with work and playtime with his lovers. His parents had made sure that his education and experience will groom him to be the next successor to manage his family wealth. With over two hundred billion of family net worth, Hendry knew that as the oldest, between him and his brothers he was the true heir of the family. The one with the burden to rest it all on his shoulder alone.Unlike his brothers, his parents had enrolled him in early private education for boys
Last night didn't turn out bad at all, and Hendry woke up the next day with Mae still asleep naked by his side. After all the sexual activities he should feel better, well, the tension was mostly gone but somehow he still feel like something was missing. Work, yeah, that was it, Hendry thought as his brain was slowly jump-starting and connecting his body with the will to get up and start his day. No one should wake up at six a.m. after only a couple of hours of sleep. The feeling that lingers after last night's sexual activity was gone instantly when he saw the time on his phone. That Friday he was supposed to be on the golf course doing more networking. He groaned when the alert that Sloan set up for him started beeping frantically. Mae woke up and stretched her body like a beautiful feline arching under the sun. Though it was still dark outside, Hendry wish he had the time for a round of quicky. The second alarm warned him that he was wasting his precious minutes when he can start
"Sloan, my boy, you put too much pressure on yourself. You shouldn't work too hard. That boss of yours needs to stop thinking about money, he has too much of those already." Sloan's mother scolded him, and the man laughed softly and pulled his mom into an embrace. "I love you, mom. You always know how to make me laugh. But no, mom...this is what rich people do, they work and make money, and then they kept on making money. Sometimes I think it's what they do to feed us, poor people." "Hush, don't ever say that. You're not poor, we live well. A good suburban house with warm food in our bellies three times a day, good clothes, a car, and more. We're far from poor, what we have is better than what your great great grandparents had back in their days." Sloan practically wanted to roll his eyes, cause that was not what he meant. But his mom always takes his words seriously. The heavy steps of his sister's children made him stop thinking about her mom's words when Sloan gave them his bigg
Hendry was supposed to have a quiet night, he did not expect to get a call late in the evening from Sloan, telling him that Brody was drunk. Knowing how Brody would get when he's wasted, Hendry knew it would be a disaster if he was left alone to take care of himself. But seeing Sloan in his club attire as he helped his buddy settle in on the sofa, all lean and smoking hot in those tight jeans, Hendry quickly forgot about Brody."Eyes up here, Sloan." Hendry let out a sexy laugh when Sloan was blatantly checking him out. "Uh, right," the PA gave him a shy smile and Hendry was feeling a soothing sensation and tried to shrug it off by offering him a drink and then getting a bottle of white, needing the light and sweet alcohol to bridge their conversation. Sloan had hesitated to have the drink, but Hendry always managed to get him to do what he wanted. And the bossy side of him wanted Sloan to stay, so he stayed and had a drink while Hendry fixed his eyes on the perfect view in front of
Leaving his boss's house, Sloan didn't even call one of Hendry's drivers. He decided to pull out his phone to order a ride instead. His eyes were hot from his unshed tears, he felt so stupid, every fucking time, he thought to himself.Sloan walked to the small convenience store around the corner and bought himself a pack of cigarettes. He lit and took a drag of the cigarette while waiting for his ride. The night was getting colder and he could feel goosebumps on his arms when two guys started walking toward him. He didn't care though, it was reckless, but Sloan had been hurt too many times that he couldn't care less about the two men. He took another drag and stomped the cigarette with the sole of his shoes when he saw his ride was there. Sloan looked back and smiled at the shady-looking men before he gets into the car. "Dude, you should not stand there alone. What were you thinking?" The driver greeted him with a wary expression."I didn't think," Sloan said easily and the driver j
Callie was not sure how women in her new circle feel good about themselves. She needed her old friends, though, with her stupid hectic schedule, she rarely saw them when getting to them would take her two hours of driving. And so she stayed with her parents on the other side of the city, away from her previous social surroundings. Since her dad's tech company succeeded and broke the market within the AI industry, everything had dramatically changed. Her dad's company had been attending trade fairs for Artificial Intelligence for years until he finally made it. Aside from being a genius within the industry, Callie's dad knew he needed to break the market, and having a solid team behind him had managed him to do so. And in less than ten years he was finally at the top, at least one of the best in the country which then boosted their lifestyle to what Callie would say was a spectacular shit show. And no she did not like the change, but she adapted, doing so because she loves her parents
Brody felt like he was on top of the world on Monday morning when he entered his office. Last Saturday night went great, Callie came over and they spent the night kissing and making out. They both agreed to leave sex until their next date. Well, it was her idea, obviously. His princess wanted both of them to think things through before going all the way. Brody knew she considered it knowing about him and Hendry, though Callie also knew that it didn't work out between them. What she didn't know was how Brody was still in love with his ex-housemate.So, maybe postponing sex was a good idea after all. Though on that same day when evening came, Brody knew that he would jerk off in the shower the second he saw Hendry who looked perfectly handsome walking into his home like he owned the damn place. It was true that Hendry had been there too many times before. The man even had his own key. But when Hendry told him on the phone that he was bringing dinner, Brody was not expecting that he sti
It has been two weeks since the last time he saw Brody. Hendry hated that he has been missing him, but he had agreed to give him space because Brody wanted whatever they had between them to stop. And so he had asked Sloan to fill his schedule to the brim, jammed-packed to the last minute. His assistant didn't ask why he just stepped up and back to being professional. The man didn't even flinch when their eyes met. It was as if nothing had ever transpired between them. Months back Hendry might enjoy the casual hot kissing session with the hot PA, but now... somehow he felt like it didn't sit well with him. Hendry was tired and missing his best friend, badly. Then, Sloan pointed out that he had been working himself to the ground for the last two weeks. But Hendry couldn't care less. He needed the distraction."... let's see, you've been here before seven and leave after nine. Don't ask how I knew, because I'm not making this up. I have people on higher ground. Yep, I checked your ID b
Last night was one of the many nights Sloan knew he'd cherish for the rest of his life. Callie was beautiful, their lovemaking was profound and their husbands gave them orgasm after orgasm until his eyes closed as his body was lulled and he drifted off to sleep. Sloan would never in a million years imagine he'd have the perfect life. Being a house-husband was never his goal, but turns out raising their children with Callie was his purpose in life and it filled him with love and made him feel complete. "Are you sure we have everything?" Callie asked as she once again tried to convince Caden to wear his clothes. Hendry had Paisley ready and Brody carried baby Sean while his other arm was holding Evan ready to get to the car. They were all going to go to Brody's dad for his birthday lunch. Brody's sisters were already waiting at the house with their families. It had been three years since Brody's mom passed away from a stroke. With all the problems she caused, it was a miracle to have
Six years later "Sloan, honey, go... we'll stay with the kids. Just take Callie and Sean to the doctor. You've done this many times already, you know the drill." Livia scolded her son. Yes, Callie was panicking when baby Sean was running a high fever. Marlene, Callie's mom was visiting since she and her husband just got back from one of Callie's dad's business trips abroad. And just like most dotting grandparents, they were bringing gifts for their grandchildren. Their oldest grandson looked exactly like his daddy, Brody. At five years old, Evan was the perfect big brother for his twin siblings who liked following him around the house trying to annoy their big brother. The three-year-old girl Paisley has their mom's beautiful hair and eyes, while her twin brother, Caden, looks just like young Hendry with an attitude to match. The youngest baby was Sean, at one year old the little boy already had the same pout as Papa Sloan and a cry like he was given the best sets of lungs. "Papa
"Damn, you sure know how to pick the destination. So, did you pack skimpy bikinis and speedos for Callie and Sloan too?" Brody asked grinning at Hendry. Their man was solely responsible for choosing their private villa with a gorgeous blue pool, and stunning volcano views looking over the Aegean waters. Brody was impressed, he'd never stayed at Santorini private villas before. The place was beautiful, secluded, and definitely romantic. "Of course I did, though I should've thought about buying the ones with matching colors for Sloan and Callie, they sure can pull one hell of a strip show for us." The man chuckled and Brody joined him taking a seat on one of the sunbeds at the Villa's terrace with the gorgeous view of the water. Sloan and Callie were checking out the villa and also unpacking. By unpacking it meant that they were checking out what Hendry and Brody had packed for their secret destination honeymoon. Though Brody was told what kind of clothes to pack, he didn't know thei
Hendry felt something was wrong when Sloan was gone longer than he should. He said that he was going to the toilet. At first, Hendry was worried that their new husband might be sick, then he worried that Sloan was getting tired so he came looking for their new husband. What he didn't expect was finding out that Holden had Sloan pinned and was seconds away from raping their new husband on their wedding day. He held Sloan in his arms, as soon as the guards Oakley arranged for them to hire had managed to take control of the situation. Hendry was just glad that Oakley had advised them to hire extra guards with the high-profile guests Callie's dad was inviting. Though deep down Hendry knew that Oakley had been in the business long enough to know that anything could happen. The man must've learned about Holden from the many times he spends time talking with Sloan and Callie. Oakley is a smart man and Hendry was glad that they had him to take care of them on the most important day of their
Sloan never thought that his day of being a groom to another man was going to come so soon. Dating hadn't been an easy experience for him. He'd never thought he'd get to the point that he was about to marry not one but three most important people in his life. Though he legally would be married to Hendry, their commitment ceremony will include vows as the four of them become one in front of their closest family and friends. When the day finally came Sloan felt ecstatic. He felt his smile go up to his ears and he felt like he was about to burst into a dance and make himself silly like singing in front of everyone or singing in an empty room, just because he couldn't wait to get in front of people to sing his heart out. "Sloan, darling, you need to stop fidgeting." His mom scolded him like he was still ten and she was rightening his clothes cause little Sloan wanted to look his best for his end-of-year school performance. "I can't believe the day is finally here, Mom." "I know, baby,
"Callie, honey," she turned to Sloan and realized that they had arrived and he was waiting by the back passenger door, holding it open for her. Sloan held out his hand and Callie took it. She heard Sloan tell their driver to go home before he ushered her into the house. Callie felt something was off the second she and Sloan entered their home. Brody had called them earlier and explained to them what happened. Sloan had Googled the accident and saw just how damaging the situation was. There were videos of cars crashing into a truck, the devastation was so harsh that it got her thinking about how Hendry's car could be involved in the accident. It made her realize just how fragile their lives were. She was glad that Brody insisted on them using a driver that day since she knew that Brody would be too nervous to share the news before they got home. Callie was still shaken and Sloan knew that she needed their men. The place was too quiet for her liking. The stillness made her hurry in
Hendry was beyond relieved when Brody gave him a quick call and told him what happened before lunch. He listened while his future husband blurted about how his dad was divorcing his mom and was coming to the wedding tomorrow. The call didn't last long since Brody was going to have a lunch meeting with his family and talk more about their future without his vindictive mother. Hendry let Brody get back to his family so he could get back to his work. Hendry had a few contract proposals to approve and some internal documents to sign until it was time for him to meet up with his dad and Harvey. His mom might not be as strongly opinionated as Brody's mom, but she was keeping it to herself and that was making everything worse for herself. Hendry's dad had been coming less and less to the office because he was taking care of his mom. Harvey checked up on them, though he reported back with nothing good. "You know it's not your fault, right?" Harvey asked as he walked into Hendry's office. H
"Hendry, you don't have to come with me. My sisters will be there, I'm pretty sure the worst has passed." Brody explained as he got dressed. Callie and Sloan already left the house to pick up Livia and Marlene for their spa day with the moms. Brody felt the envy shimmering under his skin, he wanted his parents to be excited about his future too. But no... his mom had to ruin his happiness by trying to end her life as if his action had shamed her to her death. Lately, Brody had to exhaust himself at work just to get a good night's sleep. Though good would be pushing it. The sleep had been decent at best. Brody was still stressed over his mom, though he tried to concentrate on his relationship. He couldn't help feeling that he was making things difficult for his lovers though they kept on supporting him. He knew he'd be as persistent as them if it was the other way around. "I'm going to drop you off then, I have some work stuff to deal with. I might as well get more things done so no
It was one week after Brody's mom's incident. Sloan had felt how it affected them, the tension was there, making things slightly off-balance but he kept his head high and believed that everything would be good in time. Since they still thread carefully around Brody, Sloan decides to do the next best thing he can. He had arranged a nice lunch with Brody's sisters after inviting them for their bridesmaid dresses to fit out. Callie praised Sloan's plan as he threw in a spa day with Molly and Sadie afterward. "Well, I thought if we can make the sisters happy then Brody will have fewer problems to handle. I miss our Brody. I don't like this side of him." Sloan confessed as he nibbled his toast. Hendry had gone to work along with Brody, he had been dropping off and picking up Brody these past few days though their offices were on the opposite side of town. Both Sloan and Callie were glad that Hendry had decided to look after their man, making sure that he was not alone even if it was onl
