The next morning Brody was still in bed with Sloan, there was peacefulness in their sleep that she didn't dare interrupt so she decided to make coffee but found Hendry instead.Callie saw him standing alone, his eyes looking through the windows in the quiet living room. She recognized that empty stare. Callie didn't know that Hendry could be one of the broken people. But when she saw him alone in the kitchen last night drinking a shot of Vodka, it felt like something inside twisted her gut. Callie bravely stepped into his space and hugged him from behind."Do you want to tell me about it? I'm really good at secrets."Hendry smiled and put his hands on hers. "It's not that I don't trust you. It's weird you know, the four of us, together. It feels so right. But I'm going through something that not even Brody knows about. No one knows until last night."She felt him sigh before he turned around to face her and kissed her forehead. Callie let him embrace her, though it felt more like he w

"What did your mom say?" Hendry asked when Sloan told him that he called her earlier that afternoon."She said not to worry and that she was fine. She was keeping herself busy. And she told me to let you take care of me." Hendry chuckled when Sloan visibly rolled his eyes. Apparently, his boyfriend didn't like to be told what to do by his mom. Which was adorably cute Hendry thought.Sloan had lied to his mother, telling her that he got mugged and Hendry had been taking care of him. He also told her that he would be coming home the next day. Hendry was reluctant to let him go back to stay at his mom's. He wished that Sloan would go back to his afterward."And how's the meeting with your dad?""It's alright. I...I need to talk to you about something. It's kind of related to what Dad and I talked about." Hendry had been going back and forth about confessing everything to Sloan. He realized that Callie was right. It'd be better for Hendry's peace of mind to let the people he cares about k

Brody was glad that he went to the restaurant with his driver. Once he sent the guy back to his office, he stepped into Hendry's car. They sat in the back seat with Hendry's driver in the front, the face was unfamiliar but Brody couldn't care less.He heard Hendry tell his driver to take them to the hotel before he pulled up the divider between them as if they were about to have a very important business discussion."He's one of the security new guys," Hendry told Brody like he could hear his thoughts. But he just nodded and took his hand and kissed his knuckles. His other hand tilted his jaw to face him and leaned in to kiss his best friend. His lips were pliant under his, and Hendry let out a soft needy breath when Brody told him that he loved him and that he was sorry about what had happened to him in the past."But you're the bravest man I know. You're so strong and I would never want you to feel ashamed of yourself." Brody deepened his kiss and Hendry opened up to him easily.The

When they leave their suite for dinner, Sloan was not anticipating anything but having a juicy burger and greasy fries with a cold bottle of beer. The day was going tremendously well after their afternoon encounter with Callie and Brody.They even talked and got to know each other better. They got Hendry to talk about Holden and he got to know his boyfriend better than he had before. Sloan did thank Callie and Brody when they left for their family dinner.He certainly didn't expect his boyfriend to insert a sex toy and make him want to crawl over their table and straddle him. Sloan was a needy mess throughout dinner while his boyfriend looked calm and content with his meal. They were in the middle of their meal when Sloan heard his sister calling out his name."Fuck no..." He cursed, and Hendry chuckled as he welcomed Sloan's sister to their table, but not before hiding the small remote into his pocket."Vera, a lovely surprise seeing you here. A date night?" Hendry asked politely, bu

Callie never thought in her wildest dreams that she was one of those people. She had been dealing with abused victims for years and she never considered letting her partner slap her in the middle of their sexy time might get her off harder than she had ever experienced before. When Brody smacked her, he did it in such a way that Callie didn't even think, she just took it. It felt so damn good that she came hard, her knees trembled and her moans were embarrassingly needy. Callie couldn't stop her blush as Brody led her back into the house. Minutes earlier, he left to get robes for Callie and himself. Hers was too big, but with the mess that Brody made on her body, she was not that eager to slip into her dress without a proper cleanup. They tidy up the blankets and the throw pillows. She helped him carry the pillows while Brody brought in the picnic basket and blankets. "So, you have stuff in the house. Have you been living here? Or are you keeping this place hidden all this time to r
