This was the worst idea ever. “Ben... is really sweet. He's wonderful, and he's a good choice, but so are the other two. I know Matt, and I'm sure Dorian's the same.”“But--”“You have a contract,” Liam reminded him, his voice still holding steady. He rubbed his hands on his thighs for a moment, then reached out to cup Sebastian's face, gently pressing a hand to each cheek. “He's going to be amazing, and I mean it. Whichever one you choose. But I like Ben.”He leaned in to press a gentle kiss against Sebastian's warm lips. Sebastian's lips were moist and full, his eyes sliding half-closed as he let a quiet breath out of his nose and tried to press closer. The feeling of his warm body so close, his hand rising to caress the back of Liam's neck... God, Liam's heart was breaking. He tried to make this moment last as long as it could while keeping it sweet and platonic and not at all heartbroken.Then, he drew back and dropped one hand to just cup Sebastian's cheek in his other hand. “You two will be great together, and I'll still support you no matter what.”“You...” Sebastian looked stunned. He pressed his fingers to his lips, then fixed his eyes on Liam's again, gazing at him with such yearning that it physically hurt to see. “You never said whether you like me.” Liam's eyes widened as he gazed at Sebastian, willing himself not to tear up on the spot. This was worse than he'd imagined, and his heart thudded. Could he lie? Right now, put on the spot to tell Sebastian his feelings, could he do it? No. A half-truth would have to do. Liam cleared his throat. “You're a good boss and a good friend.”He'd have given anything not to see the disappointment on Sebastian's face.
