“Sorry, love. I’m not going to be very good company tonight. What are we doing this weekend, anyway?”
Knox reached over to give Levi’s leg a gentle squeeze.
“Only fun stuff. You’ll see.”
Levi chose not to press for more information and watched it snow out the passenger side window. When they arrived, he grabbed his overnight bag and followed Knox inside. Levi noted an interesting change since his last visit—a nest of blankets resting in front of the fireplace. Off came the winter coats and boots, and then Knox pulled Levi against him and kissed the top of his head.
“The concert was great, and I’m so proud of you. But, I know you’re tired, so why not freshen up while I fix us a snack?”
“Mmm...sounds good but couldn’t I stay here and snuggle?”
Knox’s soft growl thrummed wherever they touched.
“We’ll get to that later, I promise.”
“Good. I won’t be long.”
Levi grabbed some clothing and toiletries from his bag and toddled off to the bathroom. Once the door closed, Knox lit the logs in the fireplace and then got busy in the kitchen. He’d just finished setting everything on the table when Levi returned wearing comfy sweats and a pair of warm socks. The shower and smell of food seemed to have revived him, and he moved quickly to sit down.
Knox ladled out homemade soup and placed a platter of meat and cheese sandwiches within easy reach. They made quick work of the meal, enjoying calm silence after all the noise and frenetic activity of the day. It was exactly what Levi needed, and somehow, Knox had known without being asked. When only crumbs remained, Knox put the dishes in the sink, dimmed the lights, and led Levi to the makeshift bed by the fire.
There were fluffy pillows from the bedroom and a light blanket to pull over the top. With Knox’s body heat to keep them warm, both men stripped and then spooned together, facing the dancing flames. Levi heaved a contented sigh.
“This is perfect. So much better than going home to an empty apartment. Thank you for taking care of me.”
Knox tucked a possessive hand under Levi’s ribs and kissed his ear.
“Always, mate. Sleep as long as you want, and I’ll wake you up when breakfast is ready in the morning. I love you.”
“OK. Love you, too.”

Knox rose with thesun, leaving his mate undisturbed. He spread a heavier blanket over Levi and then set about the one task he needed to do by himself. Entering the spare bedroom, Knox welcomed the scents of wood, sawdust, and varnish. Near the door, he found the bags and boxes of Christmas decorations they’d purchased weeks ago and quietly carried them out to the living room. He went back to the bedroom and locked the door so that Levi wouldn’t accidentally spoil his surprise.
After a shower, Knox brewed some coffee and began working on breakfast: bacon, eggs, classic French toast, and fresh fruit. As he knew it would, the tantalizing aroma roused Levi, who stumbled into the kitchen with a bad case of bedhead.
“G’morning. Food smells good.”
Knox kissed him on the forehead, nuzzled his neck briefly, and then steered him into a chair.
“Here’s your coffee. Breakfast is almost ready.”
By the time a plate full of warm goodness appeared, Levi’s coffee swept away the last of his mental cobwebs. Instead of sitting across from one another, Knox pulled up a chair next to his mate and dug in. Between bites, they exchanged pecks, squeezes, and looks loaded with meaning. Once the food disappeared, Knox pulled Levi into his lap to lick the last vestiges of maple syrup from his mouth. Meanwhile, big hands explored under the loose sweats his mate wore until he got ahold of Levi’s hard cock.
Knox pushed their dirty plates to the opposite side and moved Levi from lap to tabletop, leaving him at the ideal height for a comfortable blowjob. While Knox’s shifter tongue stroked and teased, his hand fondled Levi’s balls and taint. Moans turned to groans amid harsh breaths as Levi gripped Knox’s head with both hands.
“More! Almost there...”
Knox obliged, abandoning Levi’s balls to tweak sensitive nipples. Seconds later, he gulped down delicious nectar while Levi shouted his release. Knox gently licked and suckled until Levi became so sensitive that he couldn’t take any more and wiggled his way back into Knox’s lap. They snuggled for a minute until Levi broke the silence.
“Thank you, love. Not that I don’t enjoy being spoiled, but I thought you had plans for the weekend.”
“Oh, I’ve got plans all right, but first, we’re going out to find a Christmas tree. Then, we’ll decorate it, and the cabin, just the way you like. Sound good?”
Levi lit right up, kissing the smile off Knox’s face.
“Yes! This is going to be fun. Let’s get dressed.”
