“Thanks for today,” Andrei said, laying his head on Lucas’s shoulder. “Your friends are insane but fun. They were good to my parents.”
“I like your parents too. They’re good people.” Lucas suddenly tensed under Andrei and before he could raise his head to look into Lucas’s eyes, he continued. “Do they like me?”
That sent Andrei sitting upright, stunned that that words even crossed Lucas’s lips. He stared at the man with an opened mouth for a couple seconds. Long enough for Lucas to growl and start to roll over. Andrei quickly caught him and forced him flat onto his back.
“Holy shit! My parents adore you. You love my mom’s cooking so much that she’s convinced that you’re actually Romanian and just don’t realize it. And if I hear one more ‘Lucas says’ story from my dad I’m going to scream. How could you think otherwise?”
Lucas shrugged, looking distinctly uncomfortable for a moment before he finally gathered himself enough to meet Andrei’s gaze. “I offered for them to stay here and they turned it down. Offered to put them up in a hotel and they turned it down. I keep trying to do things but they turn me down. I—”
Andrei laughed and slid back down to lie next to Lucas. “That doesn’t mean they don’t like you. It’s just their way. They think you’re great. They don’t want you to take care of them. They think your only job should be taking care of me.”
With a growl, Lucas rolled on top of Andrei, pinning him to the mattress. He kissed along Andrei’s collarbone, moving slowly closer to his neck. “That I can do.”Homesick“I couldn’t have dreamed up a better welcome home.”
Andrei looked at Lucas leaning against the open doorway to the bathroom and couldn’t stop his grin. He was early. It had been two weeks since he’d laid eyes on the man in person and even in wrinkled clothes with dark circles under his eyes, he was a fantastic sight. He wore the blue-gray suit Andrei had bought him for an early Christmas present. Shopping with Ian had been…an experience. And the damn suit had cost him a month’s salary, but it was worth it. And to see him wearing it after he’d been out of the country.…
His body started reacting immediately. They’d already had to get the suit dry-cleaned once after Andrei dropped to his knees in front of Lucas the first time he’d put it on. Now, he was already taking it off.
Naked was always better with Lucas.
Andrei sat up in Lucas’s ridiculously huge bathtub and rubbed suds off his chest as he watched all that gorgeous skin being revealed. “No giving me a hard time about the bubble bath. Rowe had me running training exercises all day and every muscle in my body is pissed.”
Lucas’s hands halted at the zipper of his slacks. “So maybe company isn’t such a good idea?”
“Are you kidding? Most of the pain disappeared the second I saw you.” Plus, it looked like Lucas needed the tub and some serious cuddle time.
Green-gray eyes narrowed as he slowed the striptease down. He opened the fly of his slacks, then slid both hands inside the material and down his hips. Andrei swallowed hard, eyes locked on the gorgeous body he never tired of seeing. Lucas trained with Rowe, too, and though Andrei knew he was no slouch in the fitness department, Lucas had him beat with sheer size. Mother Nature must have fallen in love with baby Lucas and given him all the choice genes. Dark hair dusted his muscular thighs and calves as he turned and gave Andrei a fantastic backside view as he finished removing his pants. Andrei’s gaze locked on his ass and stayed.
Lucas looked over his shoulder, pegging Andrei with a curious gaze and a mysterious smile when he saw where Andrei was looking. He turned, slowly approached the bathtub and climbed in, sitting on the other side to face Andrei. Immediately, he slipped wet legs around Andrei’s to trap him against him even as he winced. “It’s fucking hot.”
Smirking, Andrei leaned back and relaxed, sliding the outside of his legs along Lucas’s. “Hot is the best.”
The sultry grin that stretched Lucas’s lips sent even more heat spiraling into Andrei. Then Lucas leaned his head back and closed his eyes, a tired sigh slipping from his lips. Steam began to curl the black hair around his forehead.
Fuck, it was good to see him. It was the longest they’d been apart since they’d gotten together and Andrei hadn’t been prepared for how lonely he’d felt. Phone calls and the one video session—though crazy hot—hadn’t been enough. He put his hands under the water and rubbed Lucas’s hairy shins, digging his fingers into thick calf muscles to massage away tension and drag a long, deep moan out of Lucas.
