“‘Kay.” Caleb nodded, still lost in the aftermath of Levi’s kiss.

Inside, Levi led him to the bed and sat him down before kneeling on the floor at his feet.

“What are you doing?”

“Boots,” Levi informed him. “They’re coming off first. Just so there’s no thinking I didn’t mean it.”

“Oh.” Caleb watched as Levi’s limber fingers worked the buckles open and the laces loose. He was just gripping the heel of the first boot when Caleb slammed his foot on the floor. “Wait!”

“What?” Levi eyed him suspiciously.

“What if my feet stink? I’ve been wearing these for hours…”

“Oh my God. Seriously?” Yanking Caleb’s foot off the floor, Levi hauled the boot free and threw it across the room. “Thatis more girly than the skirt, Cally.” He hauled off the other boot as well, and it joined its mate, crumpled on the welcome mat against the door. “Now.” He rose up to kneel between Caleb’s legs, arms resting on the mattress, hands lightly cupping Caleb’s ass. “Much as I love how you look in this skirt, it’s coming off.”

“Calling the shots now, are you?” Caleb asked, attention riveted on the pale blue of Levi’s intense gaze.

“Yes.” Levi didn’t crack a smile, didn’t look away. His fingers tightened where they touched Caleb. “In fact, this is going to be different tonight. My turn. You okay with that?”

Different how? Caleb didn’t dare wonder. He had an idea, but he wasn’t sure he could say yes just yet. He didn’t dare say no. He didn’t want that, either. Instead, he offered a tentative. “Maybe.”

“You trust me?”

“Yes.” He didn’t have a moment of doubt about that. Not anymore.

“Then let me take care of you. You don’t have to be in control of this. I know it’s not what you’re used to, but this is going to be okay. I promise.”

“Okay.”

“Good.” Levi sat back on his heels and his hands drifted from Caleb’s ass to the tops of his thighs, then slid under his skirt.

Caleb closed his eyes, feeling a tremble start in his lower back and spread fast until he was shaking slightly as Levi’s hands moved over his body.

“Scared?” Levi asked quietly.

“I think so,” Caleb answered honestly. “I don’t know why.”

Levi moved his skirt up to reveal the soft lace covering hard cock, and lightly caressed the delicately wrapped package with his thumbs. “I’m not going to hurt you. You know that.”

Caleb nodded. “I know.”

“But tonight is going to be different. You’ll see.” He leaned in close, lowering his face and rubbing his cheek, then his lips in Caleb’s crotch. “I’ll show you. It’ll be good.”

His lips spread small doses of tingling heat as he spoke and Caleb’s shivering intensified.

Levi wrapped his lips around Caleb’s encased cock.

Caleb groaned and lifted a hand to run it through the short blond locks tickling his thighs. “What are we going to do?” he asked, letting his eyes drift closed as Levi nuzzled.

“I’m going to love you.”

The trembling dug deeper, nestling into a steady vibration in Caleb’s gut.Yeswas on the tip of his tongue, on his lips. His hand shook in Levi’s hair.Yeswas right there, bursting to come out.

“Lie back,” Levi instructed, lifting his head and fixing that intense stare on Caleb again.

With a soft sigh, Caleb gave in and rolled down onto his back, spread his legs a little wider as Levi’s fingers at last slid under the lace and touched skin.

“Lift.” Levi tugged gently at the delicate material and Caleb lifted his hips so he could whisk the garment away.
