“And your dad will be here to see it happen.” I squeezed his thigh.

“Oh god, you’re right. He’s going to be so happy. I can’t wait to tell him tomorrow.”

He spent the rest of the drive talking a mile a minute about the restaurant and how he could rebrand the food truck for catering or find a place to permanently park it in town to keep an additional income stream.

“What if you parked it at the brewery once we open the outdoor seating area? Approval is looking promising. You could hire someone to run it evenings and weekends.”

“That’s a great idea. It would keep people drinking at your place longer if they have full meals and hopefully take some of the pressure off Ethan trying to fulfill snack orders while serving.” He twined his fingers with mine.

“Ethan would be happy if we scrapped the snack menu entirely and just sold bags of chips.”

“If I’ve got a truck there, couldn’t you? Whoever is running the food truck could use your kitchen to store more food. Maybe you guys could sell prepackaged stuff instead. Wouldn’t that meet the state requirement of selling food on-site with alcohol?”

“Yeah, it would. I’ll talk to the guys about it.” I couldn’t believe I’d almost let that wonderful man slip through my fingers.

This is our life now.Brainstorming each other’s businesses, getting excited for each other, cheering one another on. I’d been so focused on assuming I would ruin everything, I’d never stopped to consider we could actually help each other.

We held hands all the way up to his apartment. Even while he unlocked the door and as we used each other for balance when kicking off our shoes. In silent agreement, we took turns getting ready for bed. I could’ve passed out the moment my head hit his spare pillow, but I wanted to savor the best day of my life a little longer.

When he climbed into bed, I pulled him into my arms and kissed his lush lips. I needed to taste more of him, so I did. He was my boyfriend, so I didn’t need to hold back or worry I was sending the wrong signals. I kissed all over his body and lingered when he gasped, moaned, or squirmed under me. When I reached his beautiful cock, I lavished it with attention from my lips, tongue, and hand.

“Fuck, Austin. Gonna come,” Caleb panted.

I moaned, hoping he felt the vibration in my throat. Wanting to make him feel as good as he made me feel, I pressed against his taint while teasing a fingertip around his hole. He rewarded me with his load then pulled me up his body with limp arms and a sated smile.

“I wanna taste you. C’mere.” Caleb directed me to lower my cock to his mouth.

I had to grab onto the headboard to keep myself upright. “That feels so good, baby. So good.”

He moaned and teased my cockhead with his tongue. It didn’t take long before I came down his throat.

“Makes cleanup a breeze.” He dragged a finger across his lip and tucked me under his arm.

“This feels so good.” I draped a leg over his. My body wanted to sleep for a week while my heart wanted to stay up and talk with Caleb for hours.

Caleb’s sigh was happy, content. “It is. Moving to Dahlia Springs was the best decision I’ve made.”

“Mine too.” When I’d moved to Dahlia Springs, I’d never thought my life could be so full. For the first time in as long as I could remember, I looked forward to all the times I wouldn’t be working, the times I would spend with Caleb and the guys making memories. I couldn’t wait.
