When Billy came back to Carlings he noted that he had only been gone for half an hour. "How's it going?" he asked. He'd gotten what he wanted done, and even managed to call his mother to inform her to set the table for two extra at Thanksgiving.

"You left me in hell." Murtagh replied tiredly, "I feel like I've been run over by a monster truck."

Billy laughed, "Can't be that bad,"

"Oh, he's pretty tired, Mr. Darley." Lindsey said as he came back with a pair of jeans. "Last one."

"Thank god." Murtagh moaned and reached his hands up. Billy grabbed him around his wrist and pulled him up. Murtagh giggled as he practically went flying off the ground. He grabbed the trousers and ducked into the dressing room.

Billy turned to Lindsey, "Show me what you got."

Lindsey beamed and laid out a bunch of different outfits and combinations of them. Almost every single item could be worn with just about everything. The best part; no pink and no checks. Lindsey figured that the half smile and court nod was the best he would get out of the man.

"So, you like?" he asked and worried his lower lip, painfully aware of how close they were standing.

Billy's eyes zoomed in on the wet and deep pink flesh, "Me like very much."

"Am I interrupting something?" Murtagh asked when he came out and looked between the two of them.

Billy looked up at his son, "No. Turn around." Murtagh spun obediently. Billy nodded, "Good. Pack it up."

Murtagh gaped, "All of it?"

"Yes. All of it."

"But-"

"No buts. Save them for later. We still got the rest of the day to go."

"Why do I get the feeling you're quite the taskmaster?" Lindsey asked.

"Most call me a slave driver"

Lindsey blushed, "Right, let me just –" he grabbed the clothes and hurried away.

"He's been really nice y'know. It's not nice to torture him." Murtagh commented snidely.

"I'm not torturing him."

"Yes you are. How the fuck to you think walking around with a hard-on is gonna feel? Its not like he can leave the shop to the new girl is it?"

Billy chuckled.

"Actually, since you think this is so much fun – I challenge you!" Murtagh exclaimed with a grin.

Billy's eyes lit up in amusement. The boy actually challenged him. No one ever did that. Having him around would be interesting. "Okay…what is the challenge?"

"Seduce him, fuck him – tonight and make him stay for breakfast." Murtagh replied.

"Breakfast?" Billy frowned.

"He has to stay the night and stay for breakfast."

"It's a school night."

"No objections about his age?" Murtagh raised a brow in mocking.

"He's legal and I'm not that old!"

"How old are you anyway?"

"Thrity-one."

"Damn. No wonder everyone thinks you're my big-brother. So we got a deal?"

"What will you do if I win?"

"Go to school…"

"and..?"

"Get good grades."

Billy raised a brow.

"Really god grades."

"Deal."

"So when do you get off?" Billy asked. The bags were packed up and he had paid already.

"In an hour…" Lindsey replied, the slight blush never leaving his cheeks.

"Come to dinner with us then," Billy said, "You deserve it. I don't think putting together wardrobes is a part of your job description."

"uh..okay. I mean – "

"Great! I'll pick you up here in one hour – you like Asian don't you?"

"Love it!"

Billy winked at him and left the shop to catch up with his son, leaving a flustered shop assistant.

"How'd it go?" Murtagh asked as he pushed the trolley with the bags in.

"He's joining us for dinner in an hour."

Murtagh chuckled and shook his head, "I don't know how you do it. Let's get this stuff to the car –"

"Actually, you need sports wear for school – and shoes." Murtagh groaned, making Billy laugh. "Just one hour and we don't have to see the inside of this place ever again."

"Ever?"

"Well, I don't ever. You're going alone next time."

"Where do you buy your clothes?"

"Not at the mall." Billy replied.
