One side of Rayne’s mouth turned up into a sweet smile. “Did you look it up?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.”
“You don’t have to. I wanted to know more, Rayne. I wanted to understand.” Mike was glad that Rayne had confessed more of his truth to him, and after hearing how he was raised, Mike only wanted to care for him that much more.
Rayne gripped Mike’s hand and clutched onto it. “I won’t do that to you. I swear it.” Rayne looked pained and mortified, but he kept going. “I never cared about any of those men, not a single one… most of all, I didn’t respect them. That’s the difference between them and you.”
“I’m not worried.”
Rayne stared at him in wonder for a long moment, and Mike let him. “I’m not afraid of you either.”
Mike smirked. “Maybe you should be.”
“Why?” Rayne licked his lips, his light gray eyes darkening to ash, his gaze locking onto Mike’s and blinding him with their beauty.
“Because I want you,” Mike confessed, and Rayne’s smile turned dangerously sexy. “And whether you know it or not… I already have you.”
Rayne forced a swallow before he asked on a lusty breath. “Mike. Do you… will you be my boyfriend?”
Mike reared back, a little caught off guard, and he didn’t know what expression showed on his face, but Rayne’s cheeks turned bright red before he dropped Mike’s hand.
He shook his head. “Rayne, I don’t know a thing about being somebody’s boyfriend.”
Rayne looked as if he wanted to sink into the couch and disappear. “It’s okay. I, um…”
Mike got a grip on his rapidly beating chest and took Rayne’s wrists and hauled him to his feet. He caught him around his waist and pulled him against his chest so hard he gasped out a breath. Mike palmed the back of Rayne’s neck as a possessive desperation flooded his insides. “I’m not boyfriend material, Rayne…”
Rayne gulped and opened his mouth, but Mike covered it with his own before he could say another word. He growled against those soft peach lips as fire and euphoria pulsated through his system. “But I do know how to be your man. I know how to do that all day.”
Rayne choked on his emotions as he buried his face in Mike’s throat.
He hoped that was what Rayne wanted and needed in his life. A real man. Not some boyfriend who would parade him around town on his arm like some boy toy instead of protecting him, cherishing him… loving him. “Tell me that’s what you want.”
Rayne moaned. “Yes. That’s exactly what I want, Mike. As long as you’re mine, that’s all I’ll ever need.”
