hair. “It’s your office.”
“I know you,” Jamie pointed out.
“Once. Just once,” Louis said. “And that wasn’t your office.” Craig looked confused and Louis hastened to explain. “You and me in the closet.”
“Oh.” Craig’s expression turned smug.
Louis dug him in the ribs with his elbow. “Stop that, or you’ll make me blush.”
“We could go for an action replay,” Craig suggested.
“Oh dear God,” Jamie muttered. “Once was enough. Now get out of my office.”
Louis stood, appreciating how good it was to be able to move without pain now. “Why don’t we take this home?”
He held out his hand and Craig took it, rolling to his feet. It wasn’t hard to notice how gentle Craig was with him.
“I’m gonna take you home and fuck you through the mattress,” Craig agreed.
Jamie clapped his hands over his ears. “Get out of here before you corrupt me.”
“Just remember I have the receipts.” Louis smirked because oh yes, he had the receipts.
Craig looked between them. “Should I ask?”
“No,” Jamie bit out. “You don’t need to know.”
Craig raised an eyebrow and Louis sniggered.
“I’ll hold it as security.”
“Just get out.” Jamie ushered him to the door and shut it firmly behind them.
“You know he’s never going to be able to look me in the eye,” Craig said, “And I don’t even know what he’s done.”
Louis sighed and nuzzled into him. “Let’s just say my new manager is very imaginative. Take me home, Daddy.”
“You don’t want to go to lunch?”
“No. I want to go home with you.” Louis had much more interesting plans in mind than eating a sandwich.
Craig wrapped an arm around Louis’s waist and guided him toward the front of the club.
“My coat,” Louis protested. “It’s behind the bar.”
“Wait here.” Craig jogged back inside and returned a minute later with Louis’s John Varvatos jacket.
Louis grimaced as he looked at the sidewalk beyond the door. The rain hadn’t let up for a moment.
Craig grinned at him. “I could bring the car to the door.”
Louis was touched by his thoughtfulness. “Let’s go together.”
Craig picked up Louis’s hand and pressed a kiss to the inside of his palm. “Always.”
Craig
If Craig hadn’t had to concentrate on the road, he would have been staring at Louis, scared to even blink in case his boy disappeared. Louis had said yes to their trip. Craig had been trying to find a way to ask Louis to come with him for the past two weeks. Dominic had threatened to fire Craig if he didn’t get his head focused. He ignored the threat. When an unattached Daddy offered to take Louis off his hands, he took that threat seriously. No one, and he meant no one, was ever going near Louis. He knew this particularly Daddy was in the same world as Louis and had the same penchant for older boys that Craig did, which made him doubly dangerous.
Now Craig wondered why he’d taken so long to ask Louis a simple question. When he’d seen Louis’s face light up, he knew he never had to worry again. The days of Louis being tied to the club were over. There was room for compromise.
When they reached Louis’s row house, the rain had eased enough that they were only partly wet instead of soaked. They ran to the door, laughing and jostling as they tried to get in the house.
Louis ran his hand through his damp hair. “Bed?”
Craig stepped into his space and looked up at him. “Kiss. Then bed.”
Louis cupped Craig’s jaw. “Do you want to take care of me?”
Craig leaned into the touch. “You know I do. I’ll take care of you for the rest of our lives.”
“You think we’ll stay together forever.”
“Yes.” Craig was very sure of that. He had no doubt Louis would be his forever.
“Good.” Louis bent and kissed Craig.
Craig’s knees did not go weak, they really didn’t.
He growled and took over control of the kiss. Louis made a happy noise and melted into his arms. Craig gave a mental nod. This was what his boy wanted. He ran his hands down Louis’s back and cupped his ass. He squeezed it and Louis squeaked into his mouth.
Craig pulled back to look into Louis’s eyes. “You are mine.”
Louis looked adorably confused. “I know that.”
Craig gave a satisfied grunt.
“You’re mine too,” Louis whispered into his ear.
“Always.” Craig pressed his face into Louis’s neck. He didn’t care what happened now. He wouldn’t let Louis out of his sight for the rest of his life.
“Take me to bed and make love to me,” Louis murmured.
“As my boy or
