In the time it had taken Ben to consider the offer and for Euan to mentally exhaust his full vocabulary of curses at his embarrassing proposition, he also acknowledged the fact that he was being so courteous for once. It was that kind of behaviour that made him leave England, so why was Ben bringing out his inner gentleman? âGreat. By drinks, are you expecting a cosy little coffee date, or were you hoping to celebrate your recovery?â he asked temporarily forgetting himself in the toyâs smile again. âYouâre going to have to stop smiling. Itâs making me far too civil,â he joked as an afterthought.
Corteous behavior wasnât usually what Ben seemed to bring out in other men, or at least they didnât act like that without not-so-well-hidden intentions. Not that he was complaining, as he wouldnât be working as a toy if he minded men trying to get inside his pants. But when he did manage to actually bring out a manâs polite and charming side, that was far from a reason to complain, either. âIâm not usually expecting anythingâ, Ben replied with a laugh, shrugging. âI surely never mind a celebration, and my recovery is a perfect reason for that.â At Euanâs words, the toy allowed his smile to turn into a little smirk as he raised a brow, curiously looking at the other. âOh yeah? What would you be acting like, then, if my magic smile wasnât forcing you to be civil?â
