“Hold that thought.”
I saw a sign for a rest area in a couple of miles, so I moved to the exit lane. I searched for a place to park away from the other cars and eventually found it by a small picnic area with tables and chairs.
Alexi followed me to a table, and we sat on a bench facing each other.
“Let’s talk,” I said.
“We kissed,” he said.
I chuckled. “That was some kiss.”
His face went bright pink.
“God, I love when you blush. No matter how much you want to keep your feelings to yourself, your skin gives you away.”
“It’s a curse,” he grumbled.
I cradled his face, tracing a few freckles with my thumb. “It’s beautiful.” And then I kissed him.
This time, I was able to control myself even though I wanted nothing more than to have Alexi against me, but kissing in public was already a risk if anyone recognized him.
His tiny moans went straight to my dick as I kept kissing him without deepening it. If I had a taste of him now, I wouldn’t stop.
“What are we doing, Troy?” he whispered in my ear.
“Kissing and then kissing some more.” I trailed a few kisses down his neck before I forced myself to stop.
“I’ve wanted this since…since…”
“We met? Me too, Lexi. But you were too young. I was too young. And we lived in different countries.”
He looked at our joined hands.
“I know. It would have been impossible, and it probably wouldn’t have lasted. But how can we be sure it’ll work now?”
I squeezed his hand. “I’m going out on a limb to say that the feelings I’ve had for you for years are similar to those you’ve had for me.” He nodded, so I continued, “So, how about we take this one day at a time?”
“Can we keep it between us?”
I smiled. “Of course. I’m not exactly eager to have Sergei kick my ass, and he’s not even your dad.”
Alexi rolled his eyes. “I keep telling Rory that Sergei needs a baby to fuss over. The only answer I get is that they’re trying.”
I groaned. “TMI, baby.”
He gasped.
“Oops, that one fell out,” I said without regret.
“I like it,” he whispered as his face went a deeper pink.
“What I said earlier about being happy…” He trailed off.
“Yes?”
“I am. I’m loving my courses, and now…with you…what you said about taking each day. That’s what I want. That’s why…”
He slammed his lips against mine again. I let him take what he needed until he pulled back, leaning his forehead against mine. “I love kissing you too much.”
