I’ve never come so hard in all my life.
Not even close.
My dick starts to soften, and I carefully slip out of Toby’s ass, making him wince. “You okay?” I ask. Toby doesn’t speak, only nods into the pillow while he lies motionless in his own release. “My turn to take care of you,” I murmur, and Toby just hums with his eyes closed. “Don’t move.”
Grabbing a towel, I quickly wipe myself off before wrapping it around my waist and rushing to the bathroom to clean up and relieve myself. I return with a couple of warm washcloths for Toby, finding him exactly where I left him.
I get a clean pair of boxers from my dresser drawer and slip them on before climbing back in bed. “You awake?” I whisper, gently rubbing his back.
“Mhm,” Toby responds with a sleepy smile, and his eyes still closed.
“Gonna clean you up,” I warn him, spreading his cheeks and making him jump. “Shh. I just need to make sure everything’s okay and get you cleaned up.”
Toby relaxes and allows me to inspect him. He’s a little red and puffy, but I’m sure that’s to be expected. I use the second washcloth to wipe his spent cock and get as much off the sheets as I can manage.
“Let’s move to your bed. Gonna stick the sheets in the wash,” I tell him after we lie there spooning for a little while. “Think I heard Spence and Jake come home, so make sure you get dressed,” I warn him, and he groans.
“We need more privacy,” Toby complains, and I couldn’t agree more.
Toby slips on one of my oversized T-shirts, wearing it like a nightgown. I throw on some basketball shorts and a T-shirt of my own. Toby sneaks off to his room while I take my bed apart, lugging the sheets downstairs to the laundry room.
Luckily, I make it back to Toby’s room without an encounter with our roommates. I’m not in the mood to rehash what happened tonight. I’m currently in my own world with Toby, and I never want to leave it.
“Hey,” I murmur as I step into his bedroom with a crooked smile.
“Hey,” Toby replies, a warm blush filling his cheeks, and I find it so endearing after what we just did in my bed.
“Ready to cuddle?” I ask, undressing down to my underwear.
“Yeah. But take those off, too,” Toby says with two mischievous dimples I can’t say no to.
I step out of my boxer briefs, my dick getting hard once again. He pulls the covers back, revealing his own naked body and half-hard cock. I climb in, wrapping him up in my embrace.
“I like feeling small in your arms,” Toby admits quietly, further sinking into me. “I like feeling safe.”
I squeeze him tighter, every atom in my body feeling the universe push us closer together until I can’t deny it any longer. Can’t denyus.
Like a thief in the night, my world is forever changed. It’s in this very moment that reality hits me.
I love him, and in a way, I think I always have.
“Can I tell you something?” I whisper vulnerably.
“Of course,” Toby replies, his brows creased and face tense as he sits up and waits for me to speak.
I push myself up, too, and lean against the headboard, giving him a half-smile. I hold my palm out, and Toby places his hand in mine, scooting closer.
“It’s taken me a while to admit this to myself, but I think a part of me has always known it . . . I’m in love with you.”
“What?” Toby gasps, his eyes instantly welling up with tears. “You . . .”
“I’m in love with you, Tobias Livingston. You don’t have to say it back. I just needed you to know.” It feels like a weight I didn’t know I was carrying has been lifted from my shoulders.
“Of course I have to say it back,” he chuckles, the laugh turning into a sob. “I love you, too, Shane.So freaking much.I’ve loved you since high school and probably before. You have no idea.”
“Butterfly,” I whisper, memorizing his delicate features and glistening gaze in this movie-perfect moment. Leaning forward, I kiss him softly, wrapping my arms around him and squeezing him tightly to my chest. “You’re my best friend, my lover, and thekey to my happiness. I want you to be my boyfriend, Toby. Will you?” I ask, peering down into mesmerizing golden eyes.
“Yes, Shane. That would make me the happiest person in the world.”
