Chapter 29

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

FINN

At first, I felt a little guilty letting Monster treat me to such an expensive dinner, but an ingenious plan hit me seconds after we said our I love you’s. I just hope Monster doesn’t get mad when he finds out what I’m planning.

After we place our orders, I excuse myself to the bathroom and stop our waiter on the way.

“My boyfriend is going to insist on paying for this meal, but I really want to treat him,” I tell the young server, handing him my credit card. “Could you please put the bill on this card once we are done and give yourself a twenty percent tip.”

The man smiles at me and nods. “I can definitely do that. I’ll place the card in the receipt holder at the end of the night and explain that the bill is already covered.”

“That’s perfect. I really appreciate it,” I tell him before actually heading to the bathroom.

When I get back, Monster is glaring at his phone, which isn’t like him.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, taking my seat.

“I just got a reminder about our schedule for next weekend,” he murmurs. “We’re playing the Rhinos on Saturday.”

A ball of nerves forms in my stomach at the mention of my brother’s team. “Fuck,” I whisper, not sure what else to say.

“My feelings exactly. I knew we would be playing them again, but I forgot it was happening so fast. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to see your brother’s face without wanting to drive my fist through it.”

“Don’t resort to violence,” I beg him. “Donny will use it against you, and you could lose everything you’ve worked so hard for.”

Monster sighs. “I know that. I just hate everything he put you through. I disliked him before I knew all the shit he did, and now I hate his fucking guts even more. Guys like him shouldn’t get to just live their lives all happy go lucky.”

I reach across the table and put my hand on his. “I get how you’re feeling because I’ve thought the same things, but unfortunately, that’s not how the world operates. He’s a vile human being, but you are an amazing man. Don’t stoop to his level.”

Monster takes a deep breath and then nods as he exhales. “I know you’re right. I’m just glad you’ll be here for that game. That way I don’t have to worry about keeping you safe.”

“I’ll be here waiting for you to return with a surprise if you’re a good boy and don’t fight my brother,” I tell him, smiling when his face lights up.

“What kind of surprise?” he checks, and I shrug, acting nonchalant.

“You’ll just have to be on your best behavior to find out.”

“For you, I’d do anything,” he tells me, warming my heart the way his sweet words always do. “I love you.”

“I love you, too,” I repeat his words back to him, feeling them deep in my soul.

Monster is the type of man I wasn’t sure existed in real life. He’s like straight out of a romance movie. He’s almost perfect and at first, I wasn’t sure I deserved him, but he’s done a really good job at making me believe that I am capable of receiving love. That just because my parents and brother’s hearts are full of hate doesn’t mean that’s all I deserve. I’m a good man who is just as loveable as anyone else and I’m glad I let Monster in to show me that.

“Are you wanting dessert here, or should we head back to your place for our special kind of dessert?” Monster asks with a waggle of his brows, making me chuckle.

“My place sounds good to me,” I reply as my cock hardens in the lace jockstrap that I’m wearing.

It’s one of my new pairs of underwear that I ordered online and haven’t been able to show my man yet. I hope he loves them as much as I do. Although, with the way he’s staring at me right now, I doubt he’ll keep them on me for long. And you won’t find me complaining. I love it when Monster strips me and has his wicked way with me. I’m hoping I can get him to really lose control and fuck me so hard I feel it tomorrow.

Just the thought has shivers of desire rushing down my back, and I raise my hand to flag down our waiter.

“Could we get the bill, please?” I request and he nods before heading to the back to grab my card.

Once he’s back at the table, the waiter sets the receipt holder in front of me, and Monster quickly reaches for it, which I expected.

“The bill has actually already been taken care of,” the waiter tells Monster and while my man is distracted, I slip my card out of the receipt holder and into my pocket.

“It has?” Monster asks, and the waiter nods.

“Have a fantastic evening, gentlemen,” he says before walking away.

Monster turns his focus to me and narrows his eyes.

“Did you pay for us?” he asks, and I shrug.

“Well, I have been telling you that it’s my turn to pay,” I reply innocently.

He shakes his head, but the corners of his lips turn upward letting me know he isn’t actually angry. “What am I going to do with you?” he questions, and I lick my lips in a suggestive manner.

“I’m sure you could think of a thing or two,” I tell him, trying to sound seductive.

He chuckles lowly, and the sound goes straight to my dick. “Well, we better get back to your place because all of the ideas running through my mind are not suitable for the public.”

I quickly jump up and reach my hand out for him. “What are you waiting for then?”

He laughs and takes my hand, guiding me to where we checked our coats before escorting me out to his car.

I never knew dating a gentleman would be this amazing, but I do know now that I’m never letting this one go.
