He groans again, and his dick starts to pulse as a warm liquid coats the back of my throat. He pushes his hips toward my face, riding out his orgasm, and I swallow it all down. Then he moves his hand from behind his head and strokes my cheek before pulling me up to him.

“Kiss me,” he orders as he pulls my lips to his. I relax on top of him and melt against his warm skin. Our hearts are beating quickly in tandem as I breathe with him and kiss him again.

Our lips play with one another, our tongues tangling languidly. It feels so good that I sigh against Lev. He pulls me closer, and for a long time, we stay just like that, me on top of him, kissing, hugging, just being together. An hour or so passes, and it’s so perfect with all the physical touch and warmth and gentle kisses that I don’t want this moment to end.

But I have an important interview tomorrow morning—one with Julian’s business partner, Brian—and so I have to get home and prepare. It’s midday by the time we get up and dressed and Lev drives me home.

I spend a few minutes putting together some samples for the interview, but it doesn’t take me long, and I feel confident and ready. And there’s actually something else I want to do as well.

The other night, I had an idea for part of Lev’s Christmas present. It’s going to take some time to make, so I want to get started on it as soon as possible. I spend the rest of my evening working on that.

Lev and I text a few times, and it’s just before midnight when I finally crawl into bed with a satisfied feeling that radiates down to my bones. That’s something I have not felt for a very long time.

“I’m really impressed with your portfolio, Darian.”

Brian and I are on a virtual call. I sent over everything I prepared and some things that I held onto from previous projects before I went to bed last night. Just like Julian said, Brian is a nice guy, and he has a keen eye for good art and design. Julian let me know ahead of time that Brian was looking for a specific flair, and that helped a little when I was showcasing my work to give to them.

“I think you may be exactly what we need,” Brian says. “Let me come up with a few things and ideas and numbers, and I’ll get back to you.”

My heart is beating out of my chest, and my palms are sweaty. This could be real! “Thank you so much, sir,” I say, trying to swallow.

“Please,” he says with a smile, “call me Brian. Julian would kill me if he heard you call me sir.” We chuckle. “You have a good day, and I’ll be in touch.”

After hanging up the call, I push my chair back and spin it around in a full circle. I may have just landed a job. One that is more than just an occasional contract. I’m so excited that I grab my phone and shoot Lev a text.

Me: Hey! I’m done with the call and it went great! I think I might have gotten it! eyeballs emoji

Lev: Hey yourself. That’s awesome! Way to go! I want to hear about it. Can you meet me later?

Me: I’d love to. Do you have to work late?

Lev: Shouldn’t be too late. Can I text you on my way home?

Me: Yeah! I’ll be here. Love you.

Lev: Love you too. smile emoji

I will never get tired of hearing those three words from Lev. They are harmony and honesty and sunshine and moonlight, all wrapped into one. I’m struggling to believe that things might actually be going well for me in my life right now. It’s been this way since Levon Richardson came back and opened himself to me. That in itself would have been enough, but he seems to be the good luck charm that I needed to make everything start to get better.

Lev: Hey. I’m done. Can I come over?

Me: Hey yourself! Sure. I’m getting in the shower now. Let yourself in?

Lev: Don’t shower. Wait for me. Better yet, start it and I’ll be there to join you.

An excited shiver runs down my spine, and a smile breaks out over my face. If Lev wants to shower with me, then that is more than okay.

I get out of bed and discard my clothing in the hamper. I can’t remember if I unlocked the door or not, so I walk naked through the house to the front door and unlock it. Then I head back upstairs to the bathroom and start the water in the shower so it can warm up. I brush my teeth and quickly use my grooming kit on the nice little patch of hair at the base of my shaft.

When the water is hot enough, I step into the shower, standing under the glorious stream and letting the water consume me. I wash myself quickly, hoping that Lev has some ideas when he gets here.

I don’t have to wait long before I feel a blast of cold air and look out the glass door. Through the steam, I can see the magnificent outline of a man. After making quick work of his shirt and pants, Lev joins me in the shower, his broad shoulders, chiseled abs, semihard dick, and muscular legs all on full display. His eyes have a hunger I have only seen a few times, and it sends a bolt of lightning straight to my cock.

Shutting the glass door behind him, he growls a hello to me while his large body crowds me and pushes me back against the tile wall. I yelp at the cold tile on my back and ass cheeks. Lev’s hand comes up and gently settles at the back of my neck, and he leans down and covers my lips in an almost punishing kiss. I’m rock-hard now, and I push forward to grind into him as his lips and tongue tangle with mine.
