“That’s great, Ki-ha!”
“Your friend Dante is so nice. I know he put in a good word for me.”
“He might have, but they wouldn’t have hired you if they hadn’t been impressed by your interview.”
Ki-ha bounced up and down on the soles of his feet and began chatting with Nick. They’d hit it off from day one, and I listened, amused, as they discussed what Ki-ha would wear on his first day on the job.
“I’ll bet there are some sexy-ass attorneys coming through that office,” Nick said. I put my hand on the back of his neck and tugged on the collar, and he leaned against me. “None as sexy as my Daddy, but that’s not even possible.”
I laughed low in my throat. “Nice save.”
Finally, finally, we’d been at the party long enough to leave and began saying our goodbyes. I could tell Nick had had a great time by the way his face was shining when we left, but I could also see the stiffy growing in his cat suit, which didn’t leave a lot of room to hide it.
“Does kitty want a treat?” I asked in his ear before licking it.
“Are you two leaving already?” Tony asked, and I tore my eyes away to see him and Cane coming up the sidewalk. “Don’t tell me; you want to leave to have sex.”
“Don’t act like you’re this late because you weren’t having it,” I retorted, and Tony blushed.
“See you later,” Cane said with a grin, as they entered the building. Nick and I walked to his car. The big moon shone down on us through the windshield as we settled in our seats.
When I went to start the car, Nick stopped me. “Let’s wait a little. Okay?”
“Okay.” I cracked the window on the driver’s side and pushed back the seat. We sat for a few minutes, holding hands over the console, watching dried leaves tumble over the street and a few revelers tripping out of the bar two blocks down.
“When we met, did you ever imagine this? Where we are right now?” Nick asked.
“I never imagined I’d be working at a place like Rainbow House. And, no. I never thought you’d want to be with a guy like me.”
Nick turned in the seat to face me. “Are you kidding? I had a huge crush on you.”
I brushed his hand with my thumb. “You were just a big flirt. Still are.”
Nick shook his head. “No. I mean, yeah, I was, but I was totally smitten with you.”
“And then you became my assistant and wised up.”
“It didn’t change anything. I was jealous of all the people you slept with, and I was angry at you for wasting your life. But I still liked you. A lot.”
I hadn’t realized that. “Why didn’t you say something?”
Nick huffed. “Like what? Hey, Jeo, I really like you. Wanna date? Besides, I was still with Royce.”
“You could have broken things off with him and asked me out.”
“And you would have gone?”
I thought about it. “I might have. I mean, I saw you. Don’t think you were just that annoying guy banging pots in my ear to get me out of bed. But I never felt I was in your league.”
Nick tilted his head. “What changed, then? How come you asked me if I wanted to start something with you for fun?” Nick asked.
“I was sick of wondering what it would be like. Of trying to fool myself into thinking I didn’t really want you. I did think it would wear off eventually.”
Nick grinned. “But it didn’t.”
I shook my head. “No. It didn’t.” God, my life had changed. I had a relationship—a real one that was based on more than sex. Nick and I had started hanging out with other Daddy/boy couples. I stayed at Nick’s place whenever I wasn’t required to be at Rainbow House. We went to the movies, took walks, bought a fish for his tank together. I couldn’t imagine life without him—didn’t want to.
“Can we go home now?” I asked, squeezing his hand. He nodded, and I started the car, knowing that when I got him there, I would rip a hole in that cat suit right below the tail and pound him into the sofa. Then I would take him to bed and make love to him until the morning sun stole through the curtains and crept over our naked bodies. Then we would sleep half the day and have a meal together before I had to go to work.
And the next day, if we were lucky, we’d do it all over again, except Nick would go to work, and I would lie around his apartment, feed his fish, and dream about the next time I got to touch him. Then I’d steal upstairs to the offices to do just that.
