He grabs my hand and threads our fingers together, kissing the back of it. “If he lets me, I plan to take care of him for the rest of our lives.”

Tommy, ever the hopeful romantic, gags, putting his hands around his throat as if he’s choking. I flick him on the ear, making him laugh.

What Yuri said, I want that with him. I want him to take care of me as I take care of him. I want us to grow old together and sit on the porch while we wrangle our dogs on a large plot of land wherever he chooses. Wherever Yuri wants to go, I’ll go with him.

I never thought that at the ripe age of twenty-two, I’d be ready to settle down, but here I am. Yuri is it for me. I don’t want anyone else. He’s the one.

My family stays for another hour or so, then go to the Airbnb I reserved for them to get some rest. Since I’ve been training Sam and he’s referred me to his friends, I haven’t been strapped for cash, even though Carnal Desires paid me a lot more. Had I known training people was so lucrative, I would have done it years ago. But I wouldn’t have met Yuri, so things happened as they were supposed to.

The next morning, I wake up with a knot in my stomach, afraid something will go wrong while I’m walking across the stage. Like I trip and fall and my pants rip, showing my ass to everyone. But I relax when Yuri wraps his lips around my cock, sucking me dry and taking my mind off what I’m thinking about.

Yeah, today will be a good day.

Graduation is held inside thankfully. It’s hot as fuck in the summer in Georgia. After the commencement speeches and the valedictorian gives their speech, the names of the graduates are called. When my name is called, I smile from ear to ear as I go to the dean and shake his hand, collecting my degree.

I turn to the crowd and find my family, who are all smiling back at me as they clap. My mother has tears streaking her face. I take them all in, but my eyes snag on Yuri, his bright smile, and his twinkling eyes as he stands, claps, and cheers with Tommy. My heart thuds in my chest.

Man, I’m one lucky fucking guy.

Once the ceremony is over, I make a beeline to my family and my man. Yuri walks purposefully over to me, wrapping me in his arms and spinning me around like I’m not a one-hundred-and-eighty-pound man. I don’t mind though. It feels good for him to hold me and claim me like this.

Yuri and I haven’t kept our relationship a secret from those close to us, but no one in school knows about me. I don’t have many close friends—just Dario, who knows about us—but I have some acquaintances that have no idea I’m in a relationship with a man.

And I don’t give a fuck if they know.

Setting me down, Yuri kisses me hard and quick. Against my lips, he murmurs, “Congratulations, baby.”

“Thank you. I’m glad you’re here.”

“Me too.”

My family swarms me, pulling me away from Yuri so they can hug and congratulate me. I hand my mother my degree—after she hugs me tight enough that I can’t breathe. My brothers wrap me in hugs, congratulating me, but I can’t take my eyes off Yuri, who can’t take his eyes off me.

Fuck, I’m so lucky I decided to become a fluffer. I’m glad I didn’t look up what it was before I met with Jake. Then I wouldn’t have met the love of my life.

I’ll forever be in Dario’s debt.

YURI

THREE MONTHS LATER …

Things have finally slowed down for both Clay and me. Since he’s graduated, he’s picked up more clients at the gym and it seems like each of his clients wants to refer him to someone else. Everyone seems to be feeling the same thing I do when I worked out with Clay—he pushes you almost to muscle failure, but he makes you feel good while he’s doing it.

I met Sam’s bros during one of the gym sessions and one was as starstruck as Sam was. I ended up taking several pictures and the one that seemed like he couldn’t pick his jaw off the floor when he saw me asked me about the business. He said he was interested in getting into some scenes but didn’t know where to start. So, I introduced him to Jake. His name is Julian and he started working at Carnal Desires about a month ago. He’s taking to it well. He’s a top, so we haven’t had any scenes together, but Bailey seems to like being paired with him. He can fuck well, railing Bailey’s ass hard like Bailey likes it. Julian has a great future ahead of him.

Clay and I were supposed to go visit Cliff Point last month, but we both had schedules too busy to ignore. I had scenes and he had his clients and was applying for a business license to get started on his wellness center. We’re not rushing the process, as Clay wants to make sure it’s done right, so it’s taking a little longer than we both planned. But I’m very proud of him. He’s going after what he wants.

Now that we both have a few weeks to ourselves, I decide to take Clay to meet my parents. They’ve spoken to him on the phone a few times, but my mother has been hinting that she wants to actually see him. I’m only two hours away from home, but when I go back, I like to stay for a bit and go out for hikes and enjoy my parents spoiling me. That kind of thing doesn’t really work when Jake has me booked solid with back-to-back scenes.

They have no idea I’m in the industry and I don’t ever plan to tell them. I just hope no one from home watches gay porn and has spotted my hairy ass plowing into some bottom’s hole.

Clay looks around with wide eyes as we pull into Cliff Points city limits. It’s all green trees and rolling farmland. It’s gorgeous here. Maybe one day I’ll settle down in an area like this—somewhere quiet and peaceful, where neighbors know each other. As long as I have Clay by my side.

“Wow,” he mutters, face practically pressed against the window. “It almost looks like Jansville. Except a lot warmer. I love it.” Clay reaches over and grabs my hand, smiling as he looks around.

The house I grew up in is a cape cod style, with gray shingles, and a blue door. There’s a large maple tree growing out front that I remember climbing sometimes when I wanted to be alone. I still have the urge to climb it, just so I can get that nostalgic feeling.
