Corey shook his head.
“And when you’re little, does it feel wrong to you?”
“Nuh-uh.” He buried his face in my chest and grunted. I wondered what that was about but didn’t
want to get off track.
“That’s all that matters. We can work on the rest,” I promised him.
The two of us had been awake for far too long without me getting a taste of my boy’s lips. I lifted
him so he lay over my body like a blanket. When I cupped his cheek, Corey leaned into the touch. I
pressed my lips against his, not trying to deepen the kiss. The way he reacted to just about everything
else, I imagined he was the type who’d shy away from morning breath. Personally, I couldn’t give two
shits. I loved knowing the man I was with couldn’t resist the need to kiss me—not that I’d had many
opportunities to experience waking with someone in my arms.
“I like having you here with me,” I admitted.
Corey’s gaze darkened into something far too somber for the intimate moment we were sharing.

independence or try to make you back out of your obligations. Even if we only get to see each other
like this once or twice a week, it’ll be more than I expected.”
“But is it enough?”
“You aremorethan enough,” I praised him. “Being my boy isn’t about me controlling every
minute of every day. It’s a way for you to let go, knowing I will always be there for whatever you
need. You don’t have to carry your burdens alone, and I want to be the one who takes whatever I can
off your plate so you’re better able to focus on the rest.”
Corey pursed his lips, his cheeks turning a beautiful shade of pink. My cock thickened as I
imagined other parts of his body blooming so beautifully under my hand. But this wasn’t the time for
