"There is no way I'm going to forget it," Cole comments with a low chuckle. Even if for some reason he had wanted to it was impossible to forget that he had crossed that forbidden line in his head and given into his attraction to other men. There was no going back now, no pretending those feelings and thoughts were going to go away, it was a thing that he'd done and was part of his history. He was still going to have to figure out his emotions but Cole had very quickly realized that doing so didn't happen overnight. Aside from knowing it was the end of his engagement to Katelyn, he had made very little progress emotionally.

He sighs and looks up at the ceiling before allowing his gaze to fall on Max's face. Who knows if they'll be more or just wind up as two friends who fucked around once, but either way it's still a memory they share between them. "Thanks," he says honestly. "If you're sure you're not going to mind me hauling ass first thing. I have a meeting almost right after I get into the office, and I need to go home to shower and change before I come in." He absolutely can't go into the firm wearing the same suit two days in a row. Aside from the obvious reason, it's also unprofessional. And Cole values his professionalism immensely.

While he waits to make sure Max is okay with that, his glance down at those wandering fingers also allows him to see that his friend still has an erection. He's far away from being able to do much, but a gentle hand slowly curls around it and begins to stroke at the same relaxed pace. They need to slow things down here but he can at least ensure they both go to bed satisfied.
