“Hey Ems, How are you?’ I ask her as I throw my bag down at the door and walkover to them.
“I’m good. I’m heading back to school tomorrow.”
I nod. “That’s good.” Honestly, Ems is better off away at boarding school, out of the way of the shit going on with her dad.
“Where’s your brother, Ems?”
Sophie gestures with her head over to the stairs to the basement. “He’s punching the life out of that poor punch bag down there. I hope it survives.”
“Thanks.” I reply as I leave them to it.
“Good luck.” Dom shouts, giving me a quick wink and a grin before he shoves a chocolate Eclair in his mouth.
Hot Damn. What a sight to behold. My guy is naked on his top half and his training shorts hang low on his hips. He’s dripping with sweat as he punches the bag hard, hit after hit. He has Kanye blasting from the speakers.
I quietly close the gym door to give us some privacy.
Grayson looks up, and he eats me up with his eyes, his gaze sliding up my body.
“Hey, how was college?”
I pout as I walk over to him, and he lifts me in his arms. “Boring without you there,” I reply, wrapping my legs tightly around his waist. “But I didn’t come here to talk about college.”
Grayson cocks a brow. “You didn’t?”
I shake my head. “I came in here with an agenda.”
He smirks, “And what agenda might that be?”
I wiggle in his grip until he loosens his hold on me, and I slide down his body. I drop to my knees in front of him and looking up at him; I tug on his shorts and his boxers until they pool at his feet. He is already hard. It amazes me the instant effect my body has on his.
Grayson looks at me through hooded eyes. “I think I’m on board with this agenda item.”
I grip his base with my hands and guide him into my mouth and he hisses and grasps hold of my head. “Fuck, Manchester.”
I go to town on my man’s cock, licking, sucking and teasing, until he explodes in my mouth. I pull back and wipe my lips with my fingers.
“Such a temptress.” Grayson says, looking down at me with complete adoration and lust. He picks me up and walks me over to the bench over the other side of the room. He lies me down on it and his hand reaches under my skirt.
I place my hand over his to stop him in his tracks. “Not yet, Gray. We need to talk.”
He removes his hand and my core whimpers in protest. “Then hurry up and talk and then I can finish what you started, baby.”
He leans up off me and sits down on the bench. I lift a leg over his lap and straddle him, placing my hands around his neck. “I had the pleasure of running into Paige in the girl’s bathroom today and she had some news.”
Grayson groans. “Don’t tell me, It’s twins.”
I smile at his joke. “No, well, at least I hope not,” I pause and sigh, “he’s moving her in Grayson.”
Grayson’s smile drops and his eyes become a pool of fury. “He’s moving her in?”
I nod. “Yep, she took great joy in sharing the news with me this morning.”
Grayson’s grinds his jaw. “I should have fucking known. I’m going to have to put up with that bitch swanning around my home.”
I nod, chewing on my lip. I don’t have anything to say to make it better. It is a shit-show and there is no way of fluffing it over. “You don’t have to go back. Talk to my dad and ask if you can stay here.”
Grayson offers me a weary smile. “I’d love nothing more than to stay here with you and your family, but if I don’t go home, he’ll threaten me in some way. He’ll either use Ems as a bargaining tool or I don’t know,” he says running a hand through his hair, “he’ll likely stop paying my college fees.”
“He wouldn’t?” I ask, horrified.
Grayson gives me a look that says ‘really?’
“Yeah, you’re right, he’s capable of anything.”
Grayson leans his forehead against mine and closes his eyes. “I’m just going to have to grin and bare it. It’s not like its forever, its just three more months until my inheritance from my mum comes through and then I’m free.”
I nod. “And then what will you do?”
He opens his eyes and leans back so he can look at me. “I’ll get my own place and make sure there’s a room for my sister.”
“Your own place, huh? With no grown ups,” I smile. “With no risk of anyone walking in on us.”
Grayson grins wickedly. “Completely private. I could fuck you on every surface in the place as often as I wanted.”
Swoon. Who needs romance when you have a guy that talks dirty? “I think I’d be a frequent visitor. I hope that’s okay?”
Grayson nods. “You can visit as often as you‘d like Manchester. Now, where were we before you dropped that bombshell?” he asks, arching a brow, as his hands make fast work of the buttons on my uniform. “Ah, that’s right. I was just about to rock your world.”
I roll my eyes at him as my heart picks up pace. “Well, what are you waiting for then?”
I RE-FASTEN MY TIE as Grayson grabs his towel and rubs his hair. “I’m going to have to tell Ems.”
I nod, chewing on my lip, as he takes my hand and we head back up to the main floor. “I can be there with you when you tell her if some moral support would help.”
He smiles. “Thanks Ev, but I think I need to do this on my own. I think I’ll take her for a drive to Costa and deliver the news when she has some sugar in her system.”
“Good plan.”
Grayson leans into my ear as we climb the stairs. “Clever tactic that back there,
