His feet slid down the duvet, and Caleb collapsed against his chest, breathing heavy, hitching on every other inhale.
Bodhi had just enough strength to trail a touch up Caleb’s spine and grip the back of his hair. He felt soft kisses smudged against his chest, then Caleb turned his head, pressing his cheek against Bodhi’s pec, and he just laid there.
Soft.
Content.
Happy.
Bodhi closed his eyes and allowed himself to bask in the weight of all the love he was feeling. Life wasn’t perfect and it never would be, but that didn’t matter.
It couldn’t matter.
Caleb turned, resting his chin on Bodhi’s sternum as his cock slipped free with a wet squelching sensation. They both grimaced, and Caleb lifted himself, tracing a touch over Bodhi’s lower lip.
‘I love you,’ he mouthed.
Bodhi smiled and lifted his hand into the three-fingered sign. “I love you.”
Caleb kissed his middle and ring finger that were curled against his palm, then he laid back down. There was a mess between them—drying come on his thighs from where his condom had slipped off, and the place where Caleb had spilled on his stomach.
It was uncomfortable and eventually he’d need to clean up, but for that moment—and maybe for a thousand more in their lifetime of being together—Bodhi was exactly where he was meant to be.
Epilogue
Caleb grinnedas he tightened his grip and urged Bodhi to move his hips faster. There was a thrill of doing it there in his office where anyone could walk in. And okay, yes, he’d locked the door because the thrill of getting caught was only good as a fantasy, not a reality.
But Bodhi seemed to be really, really into it.
He was shaking all over, his fingers gripping the desk like he might leave marks behind, and his thighs were trembling with his effort to hold back from coming.
The latex of the condom on Bodhi’s cock felt odd under Caleb’s hand, but Bodhi loved them for the way they caught all the mess and allowed him unrestrained orgasms without dealing with the aftermath of being wet and sticky.
And frankly, anything that made Bodhi happy had a way of making Caleb happy.
He tapped a pattern across his back. Faster. Harder. Come on. It was a tactile language they were developing between them, and he couldn’t wait until they were both fluent. Leaning forward, he dug his teeth into the back of Bodhi’s neck, feeling the moan that rumbled through him seconds before his cock thickened, then filled the condom with hot spurts.
Bodhi shuddered and Caleb caught him before he went boneless, dragging him backward until they were both in the chair with Bodhi nestled in his lap. Caleb carefully removed the condom once Bodhi stopped trembling, and he kissed him across his jaw as he grabbed a wet wiped and cleared him off.
He felt more rumbles, telling him that Bodhi was speaking, but he’d come to learn that it wasn’t really anything he needed to know. It was just noise with the occasional word Bodhi had picked up from his echolalia. That was something he’d been holding back around Caleb for a while, but after Caleb swore on bended knee that he didn’t mind, Bodhi stopped most of his masking when they were alone together.
He stroked down his arm until Bodhi started shifting, then he glanced down to see Bodhi smiling up at him.
“Thank you.”
Caleb caught his hand and kissed his fingers before letting go. “What time will you be home tonight?”
Bodhi shrugged. “I have a study session with Ravi, then we’re going to clean out what’s left of my storage unit.”
Most of Bodhi’s stuff lived in Caleb’s spare bedroom now. It was a compromise that came with living together. Bodhi needed somewhere to be alone sometimes, and he always would. There were occasional long days and even longer nights when Caleb would know that Bodhi was just on the other side of the door, and he wasn’t allowed to invade his space.
But knowing he was close was enough.
It had been eight long months of that, and God, he was so happy.
“Do you want some help?” Caleb was asking purely for pragmatic reasons. A month after Bodhi’s grandparents showed up on campus, they came back and tried to bodily remove him from campus. Bodhi fought back, and as though it was some sort of fate-determined moment, Javier had chosen that exact time to drive by in his little patrol golf cart.
The grandparents were arrested, and Bodhi and Ravi both got their order of protection. And although it was nothing more than a piece of paper, there was a relief in both of the twins that Caleb hadn’t realized would be so obvious.
