“Good Light,” he gasped.

“Yeah,” a hand wrapped around his. “I know.”

They collapsed onto the bed, done for.

“So, this is the deal.” Camren rolled onto his side, tipping up Davian’s chin, wrapping his arm tightly around those slender shoulders. Blue eyes stared back at him. “Aside from the shop,you think of what you want to do without me in life. I’m talkingbusiness—” He added when Davian let out a laugh. “All the rest will be punished severely.”

“Really?” Davian wrinkled his eyebrows. “How would you do that?”

“Another time I’ll gladly tell you more. Believe it or not, you have worn me out.”

“I’ve worn out the great Camren Ryka?” Davian smiled, but there was something humble in that shimmer.

“Always, baby. You always did and you always will.”

Davian looked away, blushing.

“Hey.” Camren brushed a lock behind his ear, fingertips lingering on those piercings. “I can’t slay your wolves if you don’t talk to me.”

“I know.” Davian shrugged, his smile bashful. “I’m just really happy that you’re back in my life.”

“...And? Come on, there’s something else there, I know it.”

“Not really.” Davian rolled onto Camren, making him huff out a breath in surprise.

“Fuck, you’re heavy.”

Davian’s smile widened. “I’m not.”

“Yes, you are. Now, go and tell me what you need. Need me to spend more coin? Make me a poor man.”

Davian smiled. His kiss was soft, and Camren stilled as he let him take the lead and place open kisses and teasing licks on his lips and cheeks. “I want you to be nice to Jaro.”

“I’m always nice.”

“That’s what I used to think.”

Camren huffed out a laugh. “Okay okay, I’ll be a good boy.”

“I want you to come down and have a drink with me at the bar. Like the good old times, you know? When we’d hang out.”

“We never went to bars.”

“No, but…you know what I mean.”

“I do.” Camren pressed a kiss to Davian’s nose.

“I’m glad you’re back,” Davian admitted. He shuddered. “Really fucking happy.”

“I’m back to stay, baby, remember that. Back to fucking stay with you whether you like it or not.”

Davian nudged him, but he smiled. He was happy too. And that made Camren really, fucking happy.

“Let’s go,” He helped Davian get up from the bed, and then watched him get dressed. When they were both ready to go, he reached out his hand. “and find some trouble.”
