When it ended, I groaned in exhausted relief and collapsed onto my back beside him, my head landing on his thigh. As we lay there catching our breath, Seb smoothed his hand over my stomach languidly, his chest rising and falling with a drawn out, sated sigh.

Mouth stretching into a big grin, I lazily stretched and almost nailed him in the chin with my knee. “Oops, sorry.”

He chuckled, grabbing my leg to press a kiss to my shin before sitting up. I looked over and grinned wider when I saw the cum sliding down his stomach and matting the hair there. Patting around on the mattress, I found the T-shirt and held it up.

“Here.”

He took it and wiped carelessly, but said, “Should probably take a shower.”

My head popped up. “Together?”

“Obviously.” He smirked at me, flexing his thigh muscles so my head bounced a little, which made me laugh.

“Shweet.” I rolled off the bed and almost landed in a heap on the floor, then straightened with a big grin and held out my hand. “Let’s go. Then we’ll try and find the place in the movie where we stopped watching.”

He didn’t need my help getting up, but he still smiled and took my hand as he stood. When he lifted me into his arms and started carrying me toward the bathroom, I squawked out a laugh.

“You’re getting jizz all over me!”

“It’s yours,” he rumbled. I could hear the grin in his voice. “Only fair.”

“Thanks for the workout, man,” Ludo said as we finished up our gym session on Sunday morning with a cooldown run. Glancing over, he teasingly added, “I’m honoured to have been graced with your presence. Been a few days, huh?”

I grinned, slowing my treadmill to a brisk walk as I towelled the sweat off my neck. “Sorry, man.”

Except I wasn’t sorry. At all. Larkin had been staying over every night, and even though the shows meant we weren’t getting home until well past one a.m., that hadn’t deterred us in the slightest from staying up as late as possible—once until the sun came up. That had been a mistake. We’d both been exhausted at work, and Larkin had willingly drunk coffee to try and keep himself awake as he’d slumped over his desk for most of the day.

I’d bottomed for him again this morning, this time with him fucking me from behind, which had probably also not been the best idea. I’d definitely felt the twinges during my workout, the constant reminder almost giving me an erection in the middle of the gym.

He’d gone back to his parents’ while I did my usual workout with Ludo. I already missed him, but I’d be seeing him again very soon—I was going over there for brunch before we went to work. I hadn’t been this kind of nervous in a long time.

“So it’s not casual anymore?” Ludo asked wryly as we turned off our treadmills.

I knew I was smiling like a fool, but I couldn’t stop as I shook my head. “Nah. Not casual.”

“What changed?”

I shrugged a little sheepishly, an uncharacteristic blush staining my cheeks. “He told me he didn’t want casual.”

“Alright Larkin.” Ludo sounded impressed. “Although he’s always been pretty forward, huh? I’m happy for you, man. This is what you want?”

“Yeah.” I cleared my throat. “It’s what I’ve wanted for a long time.”

He paused, cocking his head as he watched me closely. “You mean longer than you two’ve been…?”

I nodded with a wary smile. “Since I met him.”

Ludo exhaled and shook his head. “Damn, man. Well, I’m glad it worked out.”

“Thanks. Me too.” I glanced at him as we headed for the locker room. “I’m going to meet his parents after this. I’m a little nervous.”

Ludo laughed and clapped a hand on my shoulder. “You’ll be fine. You’re like the ideal date to bring home. Besides, I can’t imagine Larkin’s parents being all stiff and straitlaced. He’s a little wild child. And they’re fae. The fae are all hippies.”
