"Can I help you?"

They turned around The girl who&039;d asked was tall as Xhex, but the coht there Unlike the feh on the feminine scale and suffered from hair-related Tourette&039;s, a condition that manifested itself in incessant head jerks and an evidently irresistible urge to fondle her brunette frizz boed to handle all that hair play without tipping over into a T-shirt display

Frankly, it was kind of iood way

Now Xhex would never¡ª

Fuck Why the hell was Xhex always the standard?

As Qhuinn sirl, plans of the on-all-fours variety flared in his eyes "Perfect ti We totally need help My buddy here needs a vibe injection Can you hook hilanced over at John, her hot stare s and sized up his cock with a squeeze

He took cover behind a rack of brand-new, old-looking button-downs

"I&039;rind "So you&039;re in good hands All of you"

"Niiiice" Qhuinn&039;s s "Why don&039;t you get to work on him? I&039;ll watch"

Blay stepped up beside John "Whatever you pick out, I check first, and I&039;ll bring it to hied with relief and signed a quick thank-you to Blay for coain The boy&039;s middle naer just sood toa sale onto be horrible

An hour later, though, John was feeling better Turned out Stephanie, the ot into the clothes she chilled out on the coed jeans, a bunch of those deconstructed button-downs, and a couple of tight uns and his pecs like they orth seeing A couple of necklaces were pushed on him, and so was a black hoodie

When it was done, John went up to the register with the shit draped over his arlanced at a bunch of bracelets in a basket Within the tangle of leather and shells, there was a flash of lavender, and he weeded through the pile to get to it Pulling out a woven bracelet with beads the color of Cormia&039;s rose on it, he s underneath one of thehim up

The total was over six hundred bucks Six Hundred Dollars

John wigged He only had about four¡ª

"I&039;ve got it," Blay said, handing over a black card and glancing at him "You can pay ed at the sight of the plastic, then narrowed on Blay as if she were changing the price tag on him "I&039;ve never seen a black A" Blay started poking through a bunch of necklaces

John squeezed his friend&039;s aret Stephanie&039;s attention He spread his

Pay ood for it, and let&039;s face it, do you really want to come back here and pick up the shit you can&039;t cover? I don&039;t

John frowned, finding it hard to argue with that logic But I&039;ned after he handed his four over

When you have it, Blay returned Just whenever you have it

Stephanie whipped the card through the ertips on the slip Seconds later there was a chattering sound, and then she ripped the paper off and handed it over to Blay with a blue Bic pen

"So we&039;re closing now"

"Are you" Qhuinn leaned a hip against the counter "And exactly what does thatto be o early"

"But then you&039;d be all alone"

"I would It&039;s true All by ht If Blay was the buffer, Qhuinn was the king of couy sht about leaving you here on your lonesoht Your boys would feel just great about that

Tragically, Stephanie&039;s slow sot into her cash register

At least he worked fast Ten minutes later, the store was empty and the chain-link security curtain had been pulled into place in the front And he was getting pulled by the jeans chain into a lip-lock

John held on to his two big bags while Blay got busy looking at shirts he&039;d already looked at

"Let&039;s go into a dressing rooainst Qhuinn&039;s mouth

"Perf"

"We don&039;t have to go alone, by the way" The girl looked over her shoulder, her stare landing on John And staying "There&039;s plenty of rooht NFW

Qhuinn&039;s irl&039;s back he signed, Come with us, John It&039;s time you did this

Stephanie picked that moment to take Qhuinn&039;s full lower lip between her white teeth and his thigh between her legs A guy could just i to do to him Before he did her

John shook his head I&039; here

Come on You can watch me first I&039;ll show you how it&039;s done

The fact that Qhuinn was issuing the invite was not a surprise He regularly had sex in pairs He&039;d just never asked John to join in yet

Come on, John, come back with us

No, thanks

A dark look came into Qhuinn&039;s eyes You can&039;t always be on the sidelines, John

John looked away It would have been easier to get pissed at the guy if the saular basis

"Fine," Qhuinn said "We&039;ll be back in a while"

With a lazy sirl&039;s ass and picked her up As he walked backward, her skirt rode up so she flashed pink panties and white cheeks

When the pair was in a dressing roo about what aoff in the direction the two of theone with an odd expression on his face

John whistled low to get his attention You can go back, you know If you want to be with them I&039;m cool here

Blay shook his head a little too quickly "Nah I&039;"

Except his eyes went back to that dressing roo by the tenor of the sound, it was hard to knoho had hter

John whistled again You okay?

"We et coisters and sat on a stool "We&039;re going to be here for a while"

Right, John thought Whatever was buuy was off-limits

John hopped up on the counter and let his legs dangle As another ot hard

Great Just fab

He was pulling his shirt out of his waistband to cover up his little problem when Blay asked, "So who&039;s the bracelet for?"

John signed quickly, It&039;s forwouldn&039;t fit your wrist" There was a pause "You don&039;t have to tell me if you don&039;t want to"

Honestly, it&039;s no big deal

"Okay" After a o to ZeroSum after this?"

John kept his head dohile he nodded

Blay laughed softly "Thought you ht, too, you&039;ll be okay with it"

I can&039;t to

"Why not?"

Shit Just can&039;t Have to stay home

Yet another moan ca started

When the sounds stopped, Blay took a deep breath, like he&039;d been running intervals and had just finished the workout John didn&039;t blame hihts do and no other people around, all the hanging clothes seeot to ZeroSus to look forward to, and that was

Pathetic, really

Minutes ticked by Ten Fifteen Twenty

"Shit," Blay ?"

John shrugged With their friend&039;s predilections, it was anyone&039;s guess

"Yo, Qhuinn?" Blay called out When there was no answer, not even a grunt, he slid off the stool "I&039; to see what&039;s up"

Blay went up to the dressing rooh the door In a rush, his eyes flared and his mouth opened and he blushed from the roots of his red hair all the way to his palht The session was evidently not finished And whatever was doing orth seeing, because Blay didn&039;t turn around right away After a moment his head went back and forth slowly, as if he were answering a question Qhuinn had posed

As Blay returned to the register, his head was down, his hands deep in his pockets He stayed quiet as he eased back onto the stool, but his foot started going aup and down

It was obvious the guy didn&039;t want to hang around anyet that

Hell, they could be at ZeroSum

Where Xhex worked

As that happy little obsessive thought hit hi his head into the counter Man clearly, the word pathetic had a new spelling

And it was J-O-H-N M-A-T-T-H-E-W
