with the
man made him happy. Made him smile.
    He
grilled food and they sat and talked for hours. It was like nothing happened
between them. Like everything fell into place because it was meant to. He could
analyze it to death or he could enjoy what they had. It didn’t really matter,
he wanted Noah too and that’s all that really mattered.
    “So
tell me about your family.”
    Noah
smiled at him. “They’re great. My parents live in Rochester. They moved a few
years ago when my dad got a new job. He’s a principal at a high school. My mom
is a nurse. Great people. Supportive and loving. I’d love to take you to meet
them sometime. I think they’d like you.”
    “Yeah?”
Tanner grinned like a fool. Things were so easy with him. When in the past,
being with someone was generally difficult, Noah was the exact opposite. He
wanted to meet his family. He wanted to see what they were like and where he
came from.
    “How
many pieces of property do you own?” Noah lifted his glass of wine to his lips.
“I know you’re in real estate, but it seems like you own nearly half the
world.”
    Tanner
drank from his own cup. “I have twenty-seven residential properties. Five
commercial.”
    “Wow.
Do you visit them all?”
    “Not
all. Not all the time. I rent most of them out. I miss my villa right now. I
was actually planning to go there after I gained enough courage to leave the
Hamptons.”
    “A
villa?” Noah’s eyes widened. “Wow. I can’t even imagine.”
    Tanner
watched him and his enthusiasm. “You don’t have to. You’re coming with me.”
    Noah
grinned. “Are you serious? We’re going to Italy, just like that?”
    “Why
not? I mean, if you want.”
    “Oh,
I want.” Noah leaned over and kissed him. “Are we okay, now? I don’t want
anything to be left out. I actually prepared myself to take you yelling at me.
You were really pissed when you left Brooklyn.”
    “We’re
okay.” Tanner pulled him to him and kissed his cheek. “Better than okay.”
    It
felt good to have him in his arms again. To feel him next to him. God, it was
all he thought about while they were separate and the more he tried to stop
thinking about it, the worse it got.
    “I’m
fully prepared to beg and pled.” Noah smoothed his hand along Tanner’s chest.
“I’d do anything to keep you.”
    Tanner
closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against the side of Noah’s head. “I’m
not into groveling. I am into make-up sex, though.”
    Noah
sat his wine on the coffee table and turned toward Tanner. “And if I give you
what you want, are you going to give me what I want?”
    He
stood and pulled Tanner up from the couch. Noah grabbed Tanner’s hand and led
him to the stairs with Tanner gently guiding him toward the master suite.
    “What
do you want?”
    He
knew what he wanted. His heart. Noah couldn’t quite put it into words so he
joked instead. “I want to know your fucking favorite color.”
    Tanner
laughed and let Noah drag him into the bedroom. He held onto each other as the
made their way to the bed. Both had only shorts on and it didn’t take too long
to finally get skin to skin. Noah slid on top of him, kissing and licking at his
mouth while he linked their fingers.
    “Tell
me.”
    Tanner
stared into his eyes. “Blue.”
    “And
restaurants?”
    “I
order in more than I go out.” Tanner squeezed his hands. “I work too much.”
    Noah
leaned down and circled Tanner’s nipple with the tip of his tongue. “I know,
baby. We’re going to work on that.”
    Noah
licked his way down Tanner’s body. He rested his chin on his stomach and looked
up at him.
    “I
just realized I don’t have a job.” Noah let Tanner’s fingers go. “Shit.” He sat
up and ran a hand through his hair. “Are you hiring?”
    Tanner
sat up and smoothed his hand down Noah’s stomach until he wrapped his hand
around his cock. “Isn’t it a conflict of interest to sleep with your boss?”
    Noah
shrugged.
    Tanner
stroked him, leaning
