An Unexpected Win by Jenna Byrnes Page B

you,” he whispered into Carter’s ear. “Missed you bad. Let’s go into the other room and I can show you how much.”
    Carter froze, his body stiffening at Trey’s touch. “You missed me?”
    “Absolutely.” Trey kissed his neck.
    “I figured you’d been fucked to hell and back already this week.”
    “Not by you. You’re my number one guy, right?”
    Carter sighed and his chest heaved. “Right.”
    Trey quickly fabricated a story. “I didn’t have time to shower yet today, and I wouldn’t want you to touch me when I’m unclean. Can we shower together first? Then we’ll make love for as long as you want.”
    “Mmm, yeah.” Carter thrust his groin into Trey’s hand. “I like the sounds of that. Let’s do it.”
    Relieved, Trey got them to the bathroom and removed Carter’s soiled clothes. Helping him under the shower stream, he stripped and joined him. “Let me wash your hair for you.” He washed and conditioned Carter’s short brown tresses then lathered his body with their favorite sandalwood soap, paying special attention to his cock and balls.
    Carter groaned, seemed to enjoy the attentiveness, but his cock was as limp as a dust rag.
    Trey knelt and drew the freshly cleaned organ into his mouth, but it remained flaccid.
    The hot water was going and Carter struggled to remain upright.
    “Let’s move this party to the bedroom,” he suggested, hoping to think of a trick between here and there to arouse his hungover lover.
    He turned off the shower spray and grabbed two towels. Carter wasn’t doing it for himself, so Trey dried him off then did himself quickly. He followed the man to their bedroom and turned back the comforter before Carter rolled onto his back.
    Trey climbed between his legs, kissing and licking all the way up. He paid special attention to the area behind the knees, which always made his lover hard. Almost always. When Trey settled in front of Carter’s groin there was still no activity. He blew on the cock, tickled the balls, drew all of them into his mouth and did everything he could think of to arouse the man.
    Nothing.
    Trey exhaled a breath toward his eyebrows. This requires some ingenuity. Unfortunately, after nearly thirty minutes he was out of ideas and patience.
    Carter, who had fallen asleep at least twice, finally pushed him away. “I don’t want this anymore.”
    Trey crawled up his body and rested his head on Carter’s shoulder. “What’s wrong, baby? I thought you’d missed me.”
    “I don’t know. I have a headache. Could you get some aspirin?”
    “Sure.” He rose to look in the bathroom.
    “Trey.” Carter rubbed his temples. “Bring the bottle.”
    He fervently hoped that Carter meant the bottle of aspirin and not a booze bottle. He fetched a cold bottle of water and the tall container of aspirin. Returning to the bedroom, he handed them over. “If it’s really bad, you could probably take three.”
    Carter dumped half the contents in his hand. “Maybe thirty-three .” He slapped the handful of pills at his mouth.
    Trey gaped. “What are you doing?” Out of instinct he slapped Carter’s cheek, causing his mouth to spring open, spilling many of the pills.
    His lover’s eyes blazed. “What the fuck are you doing?” He backhanded Trey, sending him reeling to the floor.
    “Carter, stop it!” Trey’s tears fell, not because of being struck, but because the man he loved continued to shove aspirin into his mouth.
    He grabbed the water bottle and washed the first mouthful down.
    “No!” Trey snatched the pill bottle and threw it as hard as he could down the hall. Aspirin went flying, but they were at least out of Carter’s reach.
    “Leave me alone,” Carter muttered, his own tears falling. “You don’t want to be here. I don’t have anything for you anymore. I got nothin’ for nobody. Just get out, and let me die in peace.”
    Trey scowled. “You’re not going to die by swallowing a bunch of aspirin. Believe me, I know.” He’d
