Mark's Not Gay [Brac Pack 11] (12 page)

“You like that, baby?” Mark dug his fingers into Caden’s hips, pounding his cock deeply into his tight hole.

“God, yes,” Caden whimpered. “Gotta bite.” Mark slipped out, flipping Caden over, and then slammed back in.

He leaned forward, his mate biting into his neck as his fingernails bit into his shoulders. Mark fucked him harder, Caden scooting up along the bed with the force.

Caden released him, and Mark tossed his legs over his shoulders as Caden arched his back, allowing Mark to go deeper. “Fuck, you feel so damn good.” Mark growled.

“You, too,” Caden breathed as he grabbed his cock, pumping until he shouted Mark’s name.

“That’s it, baby. Come for me.” Mark thrust a few more times, stiffened, then grunted out his own release. “It just keeps getting better and better.” Mark kissed his mate, pulled free, and then rolled over, taking Caden with him.

“I’m sticky,” Caden said as he kissed Mark’s chest, licking at the tattoos that littered him. Mark shivered under the tongue. He knew how much his tattoos turned Caden on. The thought crossed his mind to get his kit out and put Caden’s name somewhere on him. Normally he had a rule about names, but since he and Caden were going to be together for a very long time, he could ignore it.

Mark patted his ass. “Go shower while I change the sheets.” Mark could tell he didn’t want to move, but Caden climbed out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

Mark tossed the soiled sheets aside, making the bed as a knock sounded on his door. Grabbing a pair of boxers, he slid them on.

“Can I talk to you, Dad?” Curtis called through the door.

“Sure, come on in.” Mark grabbed some clothes, tossed them on the sink in the bathroom for Caden.

“What’s up?” he asked when he came back in the room.

“I need condoms.” Curtis stepped back when rage darkened Mark’s face. Turning, he ran to his room.

“Who was that?” Caden asked as he stepped out of the bathroom towel drying his hair.

“Our son. He wants
condoms
.” Mark growled.

“Settle down, caveman. Would you rather he experiment without them?”

Mark threw his hands up in the air. “I would rather he not experiment at all.” His brain rebelled against the idea of his fifteen-year-old son having sex.

“Not gonna happen, so go in there and talk to him, give him what he needs before he goes behind your back and contracts something.” Caden placed his hands on his hips, tapping his foot as he waited for Mark to get his butt moving.

The thought horrified Mark. It would be just his luck his son caught something his first time. Running his hands over his head, Mark walked across the hall.

Curtis looked up when Mark entered the room, Caden following close behind. “I’m sorry,” his son blurted out.

“Don’t be. That was a very grown-up choice you made. I don’t like it, but it’s smart, shows you’re using your head.” Mark felt Caden slip his hand into his. With a light squeeze of encouragement from Caden, he went on. “I don’t have any, so I’ll have to go to the drugstore. I’d rather you had them and waited then need them and not have them.” Did his son just understand him? Mark just confused the hell out of himself.

“Just promise us you’ll always use them,” Caden added.

“I will.”

“And tell us when you decide you’re ready?” Mark tacked on.

“I will. I’m not sure if I am, but I’ll let you know when I decide.” It was the best Mark could hope for. How the hell did parents survive this stage in their children’s lives? He was ready to pull a shotgun out and shoot anything that moved near Curtis.

A week later, Curtis knocked on Mark’s door.

“What’s up?”

“You said to tell you?”

Mark’s heart was beating out of his chest. He had to be adult about this, not freak out. “Did you?”

“No. Well, we didn’t go all the way.” Curtis rubbed the back of his neck. “Well, that’s all. Just wanted to let you know.” Mark nodded. “Okay, thanks.” Fuck, were Curtis and Caden in competition to see who could turn him gray first?

“Our little boy is growing up so fast.” Caden stood next to Mark.

Mark growled.

After taking Sandy and Terrance to the airport, having her approval for Curtis to stay the summer, they all headed back to the shop. There was a lot to get done.

Mark just finished working on a car and walked into Caden’s office. Curtis’s back was turned, but his shoulders were shaking.

Mark could tell his son was crying. What the hell?

“You okay, son?” Mark wasn’t sure if he should stay by the door or go to his son and give him a hug. He would let Curtis dictate how he handled this.

Curtis turned around, wiping away the fat tears that were rolling down his cheeks. “I t–told him I wasn’t ready.” The hackles on the back of Mark’s next rose.

“He got mad, and he said if I loved him I would do it.” Curtis wrapped his arms around his midsection, looking lost.

“Did he?” Mark took a step forward.

“No, he didn’t force me. But now he won’t talk to me.” Curtis wiped at his eyes.

“Hang on.” Mark turned to leave the office, ready to kill one redheaded mechanic.

“Wait! What are you going to do?” Curtis jumped up from behind Caden’s desk, his hands outstretched as if he could grab Mark from across the room.

“Have a talk with that kid.” Mark growled.

“Please don’t.” Curtis pleaded with his eyes.

Mark’s head rolled back, resting on his shoulders as he stared at the ceiling. At least his son didn’t give in to pressure. He was proud of him, and he knew if he talked with the man right now, he would probably wring his neck. “I won’t. Wait right here.” Mark walked into the shop. “Clock out and go home. See you tomorrow.”

Billy look from under the hood surprised. The guy was actually a good mechanic, but if he had to choose between his son and the redhead, the mechanic would lose. “But…”

“Now!”

Billy dropped the wrench, scrambling to get his time card into the slot and took off out of the bay door.

“Bravo, caveman.” Caden kissed him on the cheek. “It’s typical teenage behavior. Can’t fault him for trying.”

“I can when it’s our son. He can pull those bullshit lines on someone else.” Mark knew his mate was right, but when your own child was involved, the words fell on deaf ears.

“Can I come out now, Dad?” Curtis peeked his head from the office door, scanning the garage for what Mark assumed would be Billy. He could see the apprehension. He knew that Billy had broken his son’s heart, and it pissed him off.

“Come on,” Caden called to him. “Why don’t you go see what Keata is doing at the diner? I need to talk with your father.” Curtis stuck his hands in his back pockets as he made his way down the street, looking for all the world like his best friend had just

died. Mark felt for the young man. He knew what a first crush could do to your heart when they treated you like that.

“You have to accept that he will get his heart broken. As much as you want to prevent that, it
will
happen.” Caden told him after they watched their son go into the diner.

“When did you become the child shrink?” Mark asked as he held his mate in his arms.

“I just remember being that age, what it felt like with my first kiss, and the emotions that went through me.”

“Hush. I was your first,” Mark said as he pulled Caden into his arms.

“That you were, caveman.”
