At that, Bodhi laughed which worried Caleb until he shrugged and said, “I’m not a virgin anymore. Right?”

Caleb’s cheeks burned hot and he swallowed back a nervous chuckle. “That’s up to you.”

Bodhi let out a short puff of air that brushed gently over Caleb’s bare chest. “Up to me,” he repeated. “I get to choose?”

It had been a long time since Caleb had to have a talk like this. It was one of the things he’d been worried about as the more experienced one between then, but from the expression on Bodhi’s face, Caleb could tell he wasn’t lost, or afraid, or worried. He was just trying to make sense of his own experience.

“I say that I lost my virginity at seventeen,” Caleb told him, keeping his signs slow and simple. “It was the first time I had an orgasm with another person.”

Bodhi’s head cocked to the side. “What did you do?”

Caleb gave in to a laugh and shrugged. “His name was Brett,” he spelled, “and we snuck into the chemistry lab at school. I sat on the edge of a table and he,” Caleb made a jerking off motion.

Bodhi’s eyebrows flew up and his mouth opened just a little, likely thinking of how he’d used his hand on Caleb last night. “It doesn’t need to be sex in my ass?”

Nearly choking on his own spit, Caleb did his best to keep himself composed. That hadn’t been the question he was expecting. “No, sweetheart. It can be, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s whatever you feel like. Your virginity belongs to you, so you get to choose who takes it.”

Bodhi’s pink tongue dragged over his lower lip before giving a sudden and stern nod. He looked up at Caleb, briefly meeting his gaze. “You took my virginity.”

Caleb didn’t expect the profound and intense emotion that suddenly began squeezing around his heart. He took a second to breathe before he answered. “Okay. And…are you good with that?”

The next smile Bodhi gave him was cat-like—full of mischief and heat. “Yes. Do you want to take it again?”

Caleb started to laugh, but he found himself pushed back against the cushions, Bodhi’s tall body blanketing him as he straddled Caleb’s thighs and began to rock himself against Caleb’s groin. Bodhi was already hard, and Caleb quickly started to follow as he got his hands around Bodhi’s hips and started to guide him in a rhythm that had no right to feel so damn good.

Caleb felt himself grunting, open-mouthed and panting against Bodhi’s lips, and it wasn’t long before Bodhi began to squirm the same way he did the night before. Caleb didn’t want him to stress about the sticky mess left behind this time, so he quickly tipped Bodhi onto his back. Before his lover could even begin to question him, Caleb drew Bodhi’s dick through the slit in his boxers and sank down around it.

Bodhi’s back arched, his hips stuttering, and his hands managed to find Caleb’s hair just seconds before he let go. His release was warm and salty, spilling against the back of Caleb’s tongue as he swallowed it all down. He suckled him as he pulled away, leaving a soft kiss at the tip, then he braced himself on the arm of the couch and looked down into Bodhi’s half-lidded, dark eyes.

“Okay?” he asked when Bodhi looked cognizant enough to understand.

Bodhi’s lips twitched. “I don’t know.”

It was similar to the answer he’d given last night, but he didn’t look like he was in distress, so Caleb kissed him, sharing the lingering taste of his release, and he could feel the buzz of Bodhi’s groan against his mouth. When he pulled back, Bodhi traced a touch over Caleb’s lower lip.

“Lost my virginity twice?”

Caleb laughed and shook his head, kissing him once more before answering, “You can lose it to me as many times as you want. It will always be a gift.”

Bodhi’s cheeks pinked and he reached down, cupping Caleb where he was half hard. “Do you want me to make you come?”

Caleb shook his head. “No. Making you come was enough for me this morning.”

Brows dipped in a frown, Bodhi seemed to process that, then he gave a decisive nod. “It’s okay to not want it all the time.”

Caleb wasn’t sure if that was a question or not, but he answered him anyway. “Yes. It’s okay. That doesn’t mean I like you less, or want to be with you less. Sometimes it’s better for me to watch you fall apart.”

There was a long moment of stillness, then Bodhi grabbed Caleb by the wrist and pressed a hot kiss to the center of his palm. The moment felt significant, even if Caleb didn’t totally understand it. But that was okay. Maybe he didn’t need to. Bodhi looked sated and content. He looked happy, if Caleb was brave enough to assume he could make someone else happy.

He had a long day of work, and he still needed to decide exactly what this relationship was to him, but he knew one thing for certain that morning: he would fight to keep it. Because Bodhi was officially someone he wasn’t willing to give up.

Caleb was supposed to be working. Instead, he was in the café lobby, staring at his laptop screen with blurry eyes, lost in the memory of Bodhi beneath him on the couch that morning.

Caleb had more satisfying sex in the last twelve hours with Bodhi than he had in so goddamn long, he could no longer remember. Work was going to be impossible, he knew, but he had to learn to live with the wild need now simmering under his skin until he and Bodhi got better used to each other.

Even if he didn’t want to get too used to him.
