Tommy had never beenthis happy.
He lay in Mike’s arms, listening to the steady beat of his heart, Mike’s body warm against his. They’d dozed off after making love, Tommy drifting into a deep, comfortable sleep. It was the first time in a week that he’d been able to sleep and wake refreshed. Mike’s breathing was even, and Tommy had no idea if his lover was awake or asleep. He was too comfortable to move in order to find out.
Then Mike moved, stretching his lean body. He kissed the top of Tommy’s head. “Hey there.” His sigh stirred Tommy’s hair. “You feel so good lying there.”
Tommy shifted until he was leaning on Mike’s chest, looking directly at him. “Feels pretty good from where I am too.” He craned his neck, trying to see Mike’s alarm clock. “What time is it?”
Mike reached over to the nightstand and picked up his watch. “Nearly five.” Just then his stomach growled. “That’s my body complaining about missing lunch.”
“You didn’t eat?”
Mike chuckled. “I had, er, other things on my mind, shall we say.” He planted a big kiss on Tommy’s head. “How about weget up and fix ourselves something to eat? Maybe a sandwich? Because I want to take you out to dinner tonight.”
Tommy lay still, staring at Mike. “Dinner? Really?”
Mike laughed. “It’s not like we’re strangers to eating out, right? How many times have we had breakfast together at the diner?”
“Yeah, but dinner?” That felt different, more… romantic.
Mike’s expression softened. “Yeah, I know what you mean. I want to take you to somewhere beautiful, romantic, with soft lighting and low music, where I can show off my gorgeous lover.” His stomach forced out an even louder rumble, and Mike blushed. “But first things first. Kitchen.”
“No shower?” Tommy loved it when they showered together.
Mike pushed him off and then reached over to slap his ass. “We can do that before we go out. Right now I need feeding.” He got up off the bed and strolled naked out of the room. Tommy went to grab his briefs from the floor and then stopped, hand in midair.It’s just us.He got up and followed Mike to the kitchen. Tommy stood in the doorway, resisting the urge to cover himself with his hands. Mike was at the sink, his firm ass dimpling as he moved. It was a lovely sight.
Mike paused in the middle of washing his hands, looked over his shoulder, and smiled. “Damn, you look good like that.” He finished off his task and turned around so that Tommy could see his dick, half-hard and long. Mike glanced down and grinned. “That’syourfault.” He pulled a bag of bread from a cabinet and then opened the refrigerator. “What would you like on your sandwich? I got that sliced turkey you liked last time, swiss cheese, bologna….”
“Anythin’ from that list sounds great. Can I do somethin’?”
Mike gave a nod to the fridge. “You can fill us two glasses with water. There’s ice in the freezer.”
Tommy went about his task. He couldn’t get over how natural it felt to be naked in Mike’s kitchen. It wasn’t long before they were sitting at the dining table with their snack.
Tommy shook his head. “Well, this is a first. Naked lunch.” He regarded Mike with narrowed eyes. “You do this a lot, don’tcha? Hangin’ ’round the house, naked?” It wasn’t something they’d done before. Tommy was used to watching Mike moving from bedroom to bathroom in the nude, but he began to get the feeling that only now was he getting to see the real Mike. It was a good feeling.
Mike chuckled. “Okay, you got me. I like being naked, all right? But I was thinking, seeing as you’re gonna be here a lot more, you might as well get used to me in my natural state.” He grinned, and then his expression grew more serious. “Look, just because I walk around with it all hangin’ out doesn’t mean you have to, okay? I could see when you walked into the kitchen that you weren’t entirely comfortable.” He gave a half smile. “Though the sight of you sure brightened up my kitchen.”
Tommy’s cheeks grew warm. “I… I guess it’s somethin’ I could get used to.” He felt safe in Mike’s house. Then he got to thinking. “What did you mean ’bout me bein’ here more often? It’s not like I can be here durin’ the week. I got school.” It saddened him how little time they would have together.
Mike sighed. “Yeah, I know. But I was thinking, maybe instead of staying with Ben on the weekends, you should come stay with me. If you want to, of course.”
If he wanted to? Tommy beamed. “I’d love that.”
“Though I should warn you. Staying here the weekend would mean Sunday lunch with my mom, who is dying to meet you, by the way.”
That stopped him. “You’re takin’ me to meet your mom?”
Mike put down his glass of water and reached for Tommy’s hand across the table. “Of course. She needs to meet the man I love.”
A warm glow suffused Tommy’s entire body. “Oh.” The softly spoken syllable didn’t convey even half the emotion that coursed through him.
“But for now, how about you come away with me this weekend? I could pick you up Friday night after class, and bring you back as late as we can Sunday. We could go to the coast, if you like. ”
A whole weekend away with Mike. And he’d thought he’d never been this happy. “That sounds great.” Then he paused. “But what about Woofs? Would you be able to get the time off?”.”
Mike winked. “Sure. I’ll pull in a few favors. It shouldn’t be a problem.” He smiled. “And just so you know? The thought of spending a weekend away with you makes me really happy. I know it’s only for a couple of days, but I think it’ll be great. I’m sure we’ll find some fun things to do.”
Tommy didn’t care what they did, as long as they did it together.
