“I understand what an amazing package the two of you make,” Eric said. “And I have to ask the same of you. Brandon will always have a place with me. I won’t be moving him out. If he chooses to leave one day, that will be up to him, but my home, and I hope my partner’s home, will always have room for him.”

“I hope he doesn’t decide to leave anytime soon. I like this family that we’re building together.”

“You are amazing,” Eric said. “Everything I want.”

Ezra figured that was enough talking for now. He pushed up to his tiptoes and kissed Eric.

Eric lifted Ezra into his arms as Eric took control of the kiss. Ezra put every ounce of want and desire into the kiss. He wasn’t afraid. Not when he was with Eric. They were still getting to know each other. Would probably argue. Might even have fights. Ezra also knew he was where he belonged.

Eric lifted him, allowing Ezra to wrap his legs around Eric’s waist. Ezra didn’t care where Eric was taking him. He broke the kiss to pull in long breaths as Eric carried him into the bedroom.

“Are you sure about this, baby? You can change your mind.”

“I appreciate you saying that, but I want this. Don’t make me beg. I will if I have to, but I’ve been thinking about this for days.”

“I’ll take my time,” Eric told him. “I want to devour every inch of you.” He placed Ezra in the middle of the massive bed.

Ezra moaned. His cock was so hard. Straining against the pajama bottoms he’d slipped on earlier.

“You are beautiful,” Eric said. He stood at the foot of the bed, staring down at Ezra, full of emotions. Brandon had accused Eric of having a savior complex. That might be true. Ezra wasn’t a project that needed fixing though. He just needed support, a partner, someone who would have his back while Ezra took care of his responsibilities.

“And you have too many clothes on,” Ezra teased.

Eric ran his hand down his chest, watching Ezra back with intensity. Ezra’s body trembled with anticipation. Eric pushed off the leather jacket he’d pulled on earlier, letting it land on the floor. Damn. Ezra licked his lips. He wanted Eric naked.Eric yanked the black T-shirt from his jeans and over his head. Eagerness had Ezra wanting to get closer. He started to rise but Eric shook his head.

“Stay where I put you, boy.”

Ezra laughed. “Yes, Daddy.”

The reaction was instant. Eric’s eyes darkened as he pulled too hard on a button of his jeans and it popped off.

“Shit!” Eric muttered.

Ezra was proud of himself. He was making the usually controlled older man lose his shit. “That wouldn’t be an issue if you would hurry.”

“Patience, my precious,” Eric said in a pretty good villain voice.

Fuck this shit. Ezra eased up on his elbows. “Really?” He kept eye contact as he shimmied his hips, letting Eric see his erection. He quickly sat up and pulled his T-shirt over his head. He tossed the garment at Eric. “You’re falling behind here.” Next, he pushed down his pajama pants, making sure to snag his briefs as well. Once he was naked, Ezra leaned back against the mattress. “See? Why am I the only one naked here?” It was a decent question in Ezra’s opinion.

“Did I say you could do all that?” Eric asked. He’d paused with his hand on his ruined jeans, watching Ezra the entire time.

“You didn’t say I couldn’t,” Ezra quipped.

“I get it now.” He tugged the jeans down.

Ezra smiled as he wrapped his fingers around the base of his cock.

Eric quickly removed the rest of his clothes unbelievably fast, including tossing his boots over his shoulder. “I need to be more specific with my demands.”

“I’m just trying to move things along. I feel like I’ve waited forever for this,” he confessed.

“Me too, baby.” Eric moved around to the side of the bed. He opened the drawer of the nightstand and pulled out a bottle of lube and a condom. He placed both items on the pillow next to Ezra’s head. “But I didn’t say that you could touch yourself.”

He gave himself a few long strokes. “Touching like this?”

Eric caught his wrist. “No touching yourself ever. Not sexually. That is a rule.”

Ezra stuck his bottom lip out. “But I’m horny.”
