Gunnar nods. “Yeah. Sorry.”

I put my fingertips on his lips. “Don’t apologize for initiating important conversations.”

“Alright.” He rests his forehead against mine. “I had a great time with you tonight.”

“I had a great night with you, too.” Reluctantly, I lean away and tap my key card against the reader. “Drive safely.” Gunnar pulls me into his arms again, kissing me one last time before the elevator doors open, and I step inside. “Text me when you get home.”

“Okay. Sleep sweet.”

The last thing I see before the doors close is his tender smile, and then he’s gone.

Gunnar

Ipullintothegarage and park the Mustang, fishing in my pocket to see who’s been blowing up my phone. When I see three texts from Jocelin, my annoyance fizzles away, replaced by a goofy grin. Stepping into the kitchen, I toss my keys on the counter, then thumb open the text thread as I pass through to the living room.

Jocelin: You just left but I already miss you

Jocelin: I’m in this big bed all alone

Jocelin:Dracona doesn’t count

Jocelin:It would be cozier with you here

Jocelin: I keep thinking about you. I want you so much

Jocelin: Sorry if I’m being too forward

Jocelin:I’ll show more self-restraint next time

I shake my head and grin, already knowing that Jocelin Allard will be the death of me. But I’ll die a happy man. I drop onto the couch and text my reply.

Me: Don’t be sorry. Don’t ever be sorry for wanting me

Me:Because I want you. God, I want you so much

I hit send at the same time more dancing dots appear on the screen.

Jocelin: I do understand why you want to wait

Jocelin:Testing is smart

Jocelin:And things have moved quite fast

Jocelin:It’s been a long time since I’ve felt like this

Jocelin:Merde. Maybe I’m rushing us

Me:I feel it too. We just click. Being with you is easy.

Me:I get wanting to rush

I squeeze myself through my jeans, moaning as I imagine Jocelin, rock hard, stroking himself. Fuck it. Texting isn’t enough. I want to hear his voice and see his face. I need that. With a shaking hand, I jab the video chat icon as I press the heel of my other hand against my aching cock.

“Hello?” My screen lights up with the image of a bare-chested, slightly rumpled Jocelin, sitting up in bed.

My heart races, and my cock throbs. “Joce.” It comes out like a croak. “Jesus. I want you. You have to know I want you. I’ve wanted you since we ran into each other at Jupiter Winery. We clicked immediately, and I guess I was worried it’s been too easy.” I laugh ruefully. “Relationships of any kind don’t normally come easy for me. I think I wanted to make sure it wasn’t fake feelings about a fake relationship. You know. I wanted to make sure we weren’t caught up in the moment or whatever.”
