Summary
Corbin has never been the type anyone wanted to bring home for longer than it took to find a little satisfaction, and that was fine. That was the world they lived in, a little backgammon here and there is the most any of them can expect. Most men of their ilk still had wives, children, careers, hell, whole lives to protect after all. Corbin himself? Well he had never had all that much worth losing, so he’d been free to play the game as much as he liked with whoever would take him, and that was fine. It was enough.
What happened with Lauchlan? Not fine, not even a little bit, but they’ve come out the other side and Lauchlan still wants him around. Still says he wants him, needs him, loves him, and Corbin isn’t fine about that either because for the first damn time in his life he has someone who wants to know him and he can’t even bloody act on it. Not with guilt and shame boiling in him whenever he touches him. Not when Lauchlan says those words like they’re so easy, like he’s worthy of them.
A better man would stay away, and Corbin ain’t good, not by a long shot, but he’s trying.
