reached down and placed his palms on Sean’s chest. “Do you prefer to top or bottom?”
Sean reached to the bedside drawer and removed a condom and a rarely used bottle of lube. “I usually top, but I can go either way.” His gaze went to the long length of Moby’s cock. “I’d be a fool to pass something as beautiful as that up.”
Moby threw his head back and laughed. “Good, then I’ll make you wait until next time for it. At least that way I’ll know I’m more than a one-night stand.”
“I don’t do one night stands,” Sean growled, his hands tightening on Moby’s hips. “So if you’re not serious about this it would be better if you leave now.”
Dark eyebrows drew together as Moby continued to stare down at Sean. “Are you saying you want to…like…date me?”
Did he? Sean really enjoyed the man’s company. For him it was about more than sex. It was finding a companion that could return his emotions that he yearned for more than anything. “Yeah I do, but only if your heart’s in it.”
Moby removed his hands from Sean’s chest and slid off his lap. He continued to watch Sean closely until he finally opened his mouth. “What’re the conditions?” he asked warily.
“Conditions?”
“Yeah. What do you want in exchange for being nice to me?”
Sean absently rubbed the sudden tightness in his chest. The guarded expression on Moby’s face as well as his body posture spoke volumes. Although Moby seemed comfortable with sexual contact, he wasn’t used to any kind of emotional bond with a lover. Sean wondered if he was making a huge mistake. “I guess what I want is for you to drop your walls enough to let me inside.” He rolled to his side and placed a hand on Moby’s thigh. “Opening myself up to a relationship with you isn’t easy. Although I’ve given it a try a time or two, I always seem to come up on the losing end.”
Sean ducked his head under Moby’s. Eye contact was crucial if Moby was to believe him. “I’d like to take this thing between us as far as it can go. But making a fool of myself if you’re not serious would kill me.”
Moby’s eyes started to fill with moisture, but he quickly rubbed them dry before clearing his throat. “No one’s ever…” Moby shook his head. “What if I screw up?”
Sean pulled Moby down into his arms. Although Moby was definitely new to relationships, Sean refused to sugar-coat his thoughts on the matter. “Honesty and loyalty mean everything to me. I have to know you have my back. That you’ll be there for me, just like I’ll be there for you, but most of all, I need to know you’re mine while we’re together.”
“Does this go back to letting the customers touch me?” Moby mumbled, his cheek resting on Sean’s chest.
“I can’t watch you every minute of the day, that’s where the honesty comes in.” Sean sighed and kissed the top of Moby’s head. “Would it bother you if I let another guy rub all up on me?”
Although Moby didn’t say anything, Sean felt the man’s body stiffen at the question. He decided to continue to make Moby understand. “Jealousy’s a real problem for me, I won’t lie about that. The thought of another man’s hands on you, whether it means anything to you or not, drives me crazy.”
Moby nodded. “Maybe if people knew we were dating they wouldn’t touch me like they do?”
“Yeah, I’m sure that’ll help, but you have to make sure they understand their attention isn’t welcome any longer.” Sean ran his hand up and down Moby’s spine. He’d love nothing more than to roll on top of Moby and bury himself deep inside the man he hoped to make his, but he quickly realised it was even more important to give Moby what he’d obviously never had. He reached to the bedside table and returned the condom and lube before turning out the lamp.
“What’re you doing?” Moby asked.
“I’d like to just hold you all night.” Sean pulled the covers up, tucking them around
