‘Nothing’s going to happen tonight,’ Michael said, taking a step toward Korben. ‘As much as I’d like to, we need to tread very carefully.’

‘But-’

‘That’s Daddy’s orders,’ Michael said, cutting Korben off before he could no doubt try and explain why they should simply give in to their desires and ravish one another right there on the spot.

‘No fair!’ Korben said, stomping his foot on the marble floor. ‘But… maybe we could still snuggle?’

‘Oh, we can definitely do that,’ Michael said, wrapping his arms around Korben’s slender shoulders and bringing in his slim but athletic body in close to his own hulking frame. ‘The way I see it is that we’ve got all the time in the world. The worst thing you can do in business is to let your feelings totally take over. Long term profits come from thinking things through and working toward the end goal.’

‘Urgh, boring!’ Korben giggled, nestling his head against Michael’s chest. ‘But I guess you’re right.’

‘I know I’m right,’ Michael said, cupping Korben’s face in his hands and kissing him softly on his forehead. ‘And when the time does come for us to take things up a notch or three, then trust me… there are going to be fireworks.’

Korben smiled and nestled himself back up against Michael’s chest.

Michael could see that behind his feisty and sassy exterior, Korben was a baby boy who wanted to be looked after and guided. And Michael was beginning to imagine a future where the two of them were working toward not just financial success but romantic success too.

‘Come on, let’s get ourselves to bed,’ Michael said. ‘My bed is more than big enough for both of us. We can snuggle all night long and then wake up to the tastiest pizza in the city.’

Michael looked down at Korben and saw a glint in his eyes.

‘And by snuggle, I do mean snuggle,’ Michael said, sternly. ‘You can change into a pair of my pajamas. Don’t worry, they might be big but they sure as hell will be cozy.’

‘Daddy pajamas, yay!’ Korben said, seemingly delighted at this turn of events. ‘I thought I was going to be sleeping in just my teeny-tiny briefs.’

‘Well that might have been fun too,’ Michael said, clenching his jaw. ‘But as disciplined as I am, I think potentially that might have been one temptation too far.’

Michael and Korben chuckled together and the pair of them left the kitchen and walked up the stairs to Michael’s master bedroom.

Dinner had been fun, and now with the chance to tuck himself into bed with Korben and read him a bedtime story, Michael felt like this truly had been the most successful dinner date he had ever been on.

Korben’s got it all.

He might just be the most perfect boy I’ve ever met.

I just don’t know how long I’ll be able to fight temptation though…

After spending a wonderful night full of talking, stories, and snuggles with Korben, Michael woke the next morning expecting to see Korben’s sweet face opposite his.

However, Korben was nowhere to be seen.

Michael sat up in bed and looked for signs that Korben might have woken up, got dressed, and got the hell out of there.

‘Hmmm, his clothes are still in the corner,’ Michael said, rubbing his face and looking over toward his alarm clock. ‘Fuck. I haven’t slept in past 07:00 for as long as I can remember…’

Michael picked up his phone and quickly scanned the series of emails and alerts that had come in overnight. As usual, his phone was full of messages from a variety of business partners, fellow investors, and even the monthly newsletter that his Great Uncle George would send out with unerring consistency.

‘Ha! I love you Uncle George,’ Michael said, a broad grin on his face. ‘But before I read your monthly newsletter, I need to find out what the hell this boy is up to…’

With that, Michael hauled himself out of bed and planted his feet on the bedroom’s ultra-soft carpet. Michael had fallen asleep in a pair of his finest pajamas and the sheer comfort of the linen was as great a sensation to wake up to as it was to fall asleep in.

Michael stretched his hands above his head and let out a long, loud yawn.

‘Waking up late is a weird feeling,’ Michael said, shaking his head and trying to get his brain working at its normal speed. ‘Korben?’

As Michael called out Korben’s name, he walked out of the bedroom and made his way downstairs. There was a gradual increase in noise as he made his way toward the kitchen, and by the time Michael stepped into the kitchen he was met with a variety of sights and sounds.

Korben in his pajamas, his back to Michael, and dancing away to music? Check.
