"That is very true, and much appreaciated by nearly your entire guest list tonight." He joined in with Patrick's laughter, feeling some of the tension of the past days lighten a little. It was easy to push thoughts of Colin aside when he had a gorgeous young man pressed against him.
"I'll hold you to that rain cheque," he said, kissing him again. "The sacrifices I make for you." He was teasing, because he had every intention of getting laid tonight. Just not yet, and possibly with someone older than Patrick was. He wanted to erase all thoughts of Colin, and to do that he needed someone his own age, or close to it.
"I never pretend not to know things," he said, grinning. "It's unbecoming of a man my age and position. Your mother is in fine hands with him. Though, she can take care of herself you realize." He was very fond of Tracey, though he didn't fancy her reaction if she knew he'd fucked her son in the past. Or been fucked by him, as the case had been.
