Summary
“Oh, Christ,” he blurts out and drops the damned pocket watch that has caused the whole sequence of events. Because this is one of the many guest rooms that dots the halls of the Mountchristen residence hosting the bride-to-be, Miss Holleran, for tomorrow’s wedding…
And she’s kissing the groom’s sister.
Or, the one in which Henry wallows the fact that his crush is marrying someone else, until he finds out not everything is as it seems.

Summary
Henry should have known, probably, that accepting a job offer from Pez would have its nuances. It’s his own fault that he hadn’t asked more questions, that he hadn’t regarded it as a red flag when he’d had to sign several very thick NDA’s at the onboarding, when Pez had smiled so big and so secretively when they went out to celebrate afterward that Henry had to physically look away from it. Though he’s new to the city, he’d thought that working as an accountant wouldn’t offer all that many opportunities for any sort of overly odd, eclectic jobs.
So he’d shown up on his first day at the provided address, a big, nondescript brick building in front of him with a duffel bag full of his sign-on papers, his computer, and a framed photo of his dog, David, ready to take up its rightful place on yet another boring, blank desk.
He’d made it all of two steps inside the door before realizing that he’d just accepted a contract working for some kind of sex club. He’d stood his ground despite the burning flush that bloomed on his cheeks and then, miraculously, he’d stayed.

Summary
Against everyone's better judgement, tattoo artist Alex takes up a babysitting job on the side after he forms a connection with the kid over their shared love of art. It doesn't hurt that his dad's kind of hot, too.
He gets more than he signed up for the longer he spends with them, and figures out that maybe the key to happiness isn't what he thought it was — maybe growing up means being a little childish after all.

Summary
June nods and casts a glance behind her. 'Looks like someone is enjoying this round slightly more than we are,' she mutters, doodling a flower in the corner of their answer sheet.
Alex follows her eye and, of-fucking-course.
Fucking Henry.

Summary
Be real funny if we met in [REDACTED] and you [REDACTED], huh?
===
You learn things about yourself in the clubs. You give part of yourself and get something in return and Alex loves that. It draws him to the pretty, intent gaze that's been watching him since he first walked in.
