empty wrapper on the bedside table and flashed an evil grin.
“You made me beg for it,” Harper teased.
Ian slid in between the sheets, taking Harper into his arms. “You’re pretty amazing, Mr. Harper Callahan.”
I don’t know what I love more about being with you. The sex or you just holding me like this. “Does this still feel like a good idea, starting… us?”
“Oh yeah.” Ian kissed his head.
Cupping Ian’s neck, he slid up closer until their lips touched, brushed back and forth, and then parted for a long, lazy kiss.
“Have you had many relationships?” Ian asked, smooching Harper’s eyelid and nose.
“Let me think… there was my scout leader, the pastor at church, my high school guidance counselor, my uncle Nick, and I briefly dated the milkman the summer I spent studying for the bar. And you?” He had only a second to savor how wittily he had responded before Ian pounced on top of him, pinning his arms over his head.
“You’re in big trouble now,” Ian warned, biting down on his nipple.
“Ouch! I’m sorry. I’m sorry, please,” he giggled and begged in unison.
“Not as sorry as you’re gonna be.” Ian bit down on the other nipple.
“Okay, okay, I give. I’ll tell the truth, I promise,” he pleaded, even though on another level he welcomed Ian’s nibbles.
“You get one more chance,” Ian cautioned, easing himself onto his side.
“I’ve only dated. No relationships. I came out my freshman year in college and never allowed myself the time to pursue anything more. I’m new to this, Ian. I hope that doesn’t scare you.” He hated how virginal he sounded.
“It doesn’t scare me. We’ll take us one step at a time. Everything will be fine, you’ll see.” Ian planted more kisses, this time on his chest. “By the way, I love black hair. It’s soooo sexy.”
“How about you? Have you had many relationships?” Harper thought about stopping himself, but the impulse was too great. Reaching down, he took Ian into his hand and gently squeezed, waiting for a response.
“Careful, that’s not a toy, you know. But don’t be too careful.” Ian snuggled closer. “A few relationships. The longest lasted for almost two years, and it’s been over with now for a year. It was a nightmare. My problem, and I hope this doesn’t scare you , is trying to find a guy that’s willing to work at a relationship. What we’re starting here…. Harper, unless you’re not who you appear to be… well, I’m in it for the long haul. The little kinks, if there are any, we can work on along the way. Nobody’s perfect. You’ll discover things about me you won’t like. I’ll discover you’re perfect.” Ian tweaked his nose. “You can’t just turn and run at the first sign of trouble. Most guys don’t get that. Did that make any sense?”
He couldn’t believe how much sense Ian made. He’d had this very discussion with himself before. How people are so fickle. How the grass always looks greener on the other side. People chasing after the perfect relationship, which, in his mind, probably didn’t exist. “Where do I sign?”
“Well, you already have the pen in your hand.” He felt Ian’s cock pulsate.
“That was a good one.” Harper chuckled.
“That was pretty good, wasn’t it?” Ian worked his nipple between his fingers until it was rock hard. “How are you this morning? I hope I wasn’t too hard on you? I wanted you. I couldn’t control myself. You’re the handsomest man I’ve ever been with.”
“Back at you. I’m fine. A little sore, but in a good way. That’s an awfully large pen you have.”
Ian laughed. “Do you want more? No begging this time, I promise. Unless you like begging, and if you do, we can explore that route. I’m game.”
He thought about answering but instead rolled over onto his side.
“Where do I find another…?” Ian propped himself up on his elbow.
“The top drawer. There’s a small tube there too.” He couldn’t wait to
