Finally, Nick pulled away and smiled. “I have a present for you.” His voice was mischievous.
“A present?” Adam’s eyes lit up. “Where is it? I want it.”
“Patience, sweet thing. First, I have to make sure you’ve behaved yourself and done as I requested. Is there dinner?”
“Yes, Sir. Pizza from your favourite restaurant and a bottle of your preferred wine.”
“Perfect. I’m hungry.”
“It’s all set up here, so we can eat on the sofa.” Adam led him deeper into the house and took Nick’s suit coat. He laid the jacket over the back of the couch and motioned Nick to sit.
Adam dropped to his knees and removed Nick’s shoes and socks, rubbing his feet, lovingly, for a moment.
“That’s nice.” Nick raised his eyebrows. “You’re being awfully kind. Are you hiding something? Were you a naughty boy while I was gone?”
“No, Master! I was very good. You’d have been proud of me.”
Nick grinned. “No touching my cock? It was my main request, you know.”
Adam shook his head. “No, Master. Like you said, only to wash and pee. I haven’t come since the last time you allowed me an orgasm.”
“Good.” He smiled. “Then you’ll get your present. After we eat.”
Adam growled with playful impatience and moved to the table where he dished up pizza for each of them. He crawled onto the couch next to Nick, and they ate while discussing their week.
“The whole trip went very well,” Nick assured him, sipping wine. “I made some good connections, and I think we’re going to see some donations coming in soon.”
“Excellent.” Adam nodded. “I’m proud of you.”
Nick smiled. “So, what happened to you this week? Anything I don’t already know from our nightly, hour-long phone calls? Did you take on the new client you were telling me about?”
“Yes, Mary. She’s great. She used to play women’s golf professionally and even won a few of the smaller tournaments. She injured her back and had to quit. It’s healing, but I’m working with her to keep her in shape with a set of exercises her back can handle.”
“What a good man you are.” Nick eyed him appreciatively.

Adam grinned. “Well, I’m getting paid for it, after all.”
Nick set his half-eaten pizza aside. “You’re still a good man. I sensed it from the moment I met you. Which has been what? Six weeks, now?”
“Since we met? Six weeks, yes.” Adam nodded.
“I want to give you my present.” Nick reached for his jacket and dug around in the pocket, finally coming out with a small jeweller’s box. “For you.”
Adam set his plate down and wiped his hands with a napkin before accepting the gift.
“What in the world?” he mused out loud, lifting the lid from the box.
A shiny, silver necklace lay inside. A thick, masculine, ropy chain with what appeared to be a locking clasp. “It’s beautiful.” He held the chain up, studying the clasp and the lock.
“This takes a key?”
Nick loosened his tie and unfastened the top button of his shirt. He pulled out the chain he wore around his neck, similar in style to the one Adam held but with a key hanging from it. “This key, lover . The key to my heart.”
Adam’s face grew warm. He loved the idea of wearing a piece of jewellery only Nick could put on or take off. It’d been his idea, actually. He’d seen something like it online and mentioned it.
He fingered the solid metal chain, approvingly. This one was much nicer than anything he’d seen on the internet. He stood and moved around the coffee table so he could kneel in front of his Master. “Thank you, Sir. I love it. Would you put it on me now, please?”
Nick touched Adam’s chin and raised it so they could look at one another. “Are you sure about this? This isn’t something I take lightly.”
Adam sighed, his heart swelling with love. “I’m positive, Sir. I love
