“Ever wonder how I feel?” Luke asked, and Cole couldn’t hide his own surprise

“Did it ever cross your mind that I’m the one everyone seems to come to when they have a probles right Did it?”

Cole couldn’t answer Luke was right Most people did go to hi As s on the ho, or Hannah, Cole knew that wasn’t the case with most people Luke was the one who had to ht of it with hi directly with the afteraze locked with his and he waited

“Have you ever thought that, at soive up control? That I’d prefer to have soe?”

Cole wasn’t sure what Luke was getting at He heard the words, but he didn’t understand It wasn’t like Cole could step in and handle the club Luke wouldn’t allow it It wasn’t like…

Cole’s breath caught in his chest

“That’s right,” Luke said as hethe second Cole understood what he was saying

When their bodies aligned once again, Cole didn’t try to round, but allowed Luke to get as close as he wanted Aside fro else on their bodies did

“You don’t knoall control over to you And I’h you’re the only person in the world I would trust to handle it I’ the decisions, being in control I want someone to lean on I want to lean on you” Luke’s voice trailed off before he penetrated Cole with his eyes once more “I want to let you take what you want from me Except that’s not what you want, is it? You need me to be in control, just like everyone else does, but you need it differently”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Cole whispered

“Am I?” Luke leaned in closer, his ination that you love to feel the connection between us when I’m inside you? Did I just dream up that you need me to force you because it’s your opportunity to leave the decision ure out how to fix soht Everything he said was the absolute truth Except there wasto ad away “Fro that we aren’t getting And this time, it’s between the two of us, only we haven’t owned up to it”

The pain that lanced through Cole’s chest at the thought of what Luke was saying nearly brought him to his knees He did need more, but he needed more from Luke He needed to feel like he wasn’t second fiddle, needed Sierra to trust his Most importantly, he needed this man to let hi doesn’t solve that probleree “Where does that leave us?” Cole asked through the painful lu to choke hiure this out,” Luke said, his heart pounding painfully against his ribs “I want more, Cole But I don’t want anyone else You and Sierra are all I need I’ve always known that Maybe I don’t kno to express it” Taking one step back, Luke put some distance between them before he did what he wanted and slaot lost in what his body had to offer rather than talking about this

Talking wasn’t his thing Neither was it Cole’s and look where it had gotten them

“Do you kno hard it was foraway so Cole couldn’t see the e to cry

“I thought about it,” Cole adhter, Cole You and Sierra created that child, and I love her with every single fiber in my body just like she were mine That doesn’t make it so That doesn’t mean she can’t be taken away from me if the three of us don’t…” He couldn’t finish the statement Luke didn’t even want to consider life without Sierra and Cole in it
