“Be intimate?”
“I was going to sayfuck your brains out, butintimateworks as well.”
“You can’t say things like that in a restaurant. I won’t be able to stand up.”
Austin chuckled and took Liam’s hand again. The man couldn’t go long without touching him, but Liam wouldn’t complain.
“What are you doing tomorrow?” asked Liam.
“Nothing planned, why?”
“We could get onto date number two.”
Austin chuckled.
“Maybe I should have given a timeframe instead of the number of dates.”
“No, you can’t take it back now. Five dates until you fulfil your promise.”
“Is that what you want, Liam? I didn’t want to make assumptions about your preferences.”
“Well, your assumptions are correct,” he said, not knowing how he’d become so brazen about what he wanted.
Liam could be vers if needed, but he loved nothing better than being pinned down and fucked into a mattress.
“I promise to make it so good for you, Liam.” The look in Austin’s eyes made it clear that the man would overdeliver on that promise.
“Okay, we really need to change the subject because this is just edging now.”
Their cheese course arrived next– a mix of local flavours, with pear chutney and rosemary crackers– and Liam was grateful the conversation moved on to less horny territory so he could get his cock under control. The dessert was a vanilla poached pear with ginger crumble and honey crème fraîche. It was divine, and he couldn’t help but let out a moan when he took his first bite.
“You need to play fair as well, Liam.”
“Huh?”
“Making noises like that.”
“Oh.” He blushed. “Sorry.”
“Nothing to be sorry about. I look forward to making you moan and blush like that for hours.”
And he was hard again!

AUSTIN
“What are you smiling about, Dad?”
“Can’t I just be in a good mood?”
“It’s Monday!”
Austin chuckled. She made a good point, as Monday wasn’t usually his favourite day of the week. He loved his work, so it wasn’t about that. Austin knew many people despised their jobs, and Monday involved dealing with tetchy customers and a grumpy public, but nothing was dampening his mood today. He hadn’t been able to stop smiling since his date with Liam on Saturday. They both agreed that they weren’t Michelin-star restaurant people. The food had been incredible, but the entire production that went with it had been ridiculous. It had given them a laugh, though. Liam had tried to push to pay for half the bill again, but Austin wouldn’t hear of it. Spending five hundred quid on a first date was an extravagance, but he’d been able to get to know Liam better, so it was money well spent.
They hadn’t gotten to The Rainbow Tap, as theirdining experience,as it was called, had taken the best part of threehours, and he’d needed to get back for Nathan– he was very particular about his bedtime, and Austin didn’t want to disrupt his routine. Nathan had been the perfect babysitter. Not only did Maisie love him, but all he’d asked when Austin had got back was if he’d had an enjoyable time. The others would have demanded a lot more detail, like about their goodnight kiss at Liam’s door when he’d tried to hump Austin’s leg. It had taken all his willpower to pull away, rather than push him inside and take him apart. But he wanted to wait. Yes, there was a lot of sexual chemistry between them, but Austin knew there was more than that. He also knew that once he eventually had Liam naked, there’d be no pulling back from exploring everything that brought the man pleasure.
“You’ve been smiling a lot more lately. Is it because we moved here?” asked Maisie.
