“I’m here to help, if I can.”

He smiled at me. “Yeah?” He looked at me, and I nodded. “There are for sure things you can do to help us get done faster.

The three of us worked together. Tyler taught me how to remove thorns from roses and clean up long-stem flowers for bouquets. I helped as much as possible so they could get home at a reasonable hour since the delivery was in the morning. Around 9:30 p.m., we packed up all the flowers and moved them to the refrigerators.

“I’ll be here to help you first thing in the morning,” I told Tyler as we watched Jamie leave.

Tyler turned and looked at me. “You don’t have to do that.”

“I’m free in the mornings and like helping you.” I tried not to grin too hard.

I walked him to his car door to ensure he would be safe and sound inside. He opened the door and smiled. “Would you be interested in coming home and spending the night?”

I pointed to my chest. “Me?”

He laughed. “Yes, you.”

I leaned in for a kiss. “Then yes. I would most certainly be interested.”

“Let’s do it then.”

He got in his car, and I went to the other side, so I was between my driver’s side door and his passenger door. On a whim, I climbed into his car. He looked over at me and put his hand on my thigh.

“This is good.” We talked as we drove to his apartment, which wasn’t far from his shop. As soon as we arrived at his building, he took my hand and led me to the elevator, where we got off on the sixth floor, and then we stopped at his door.

“You must know that very few people meet Larry in person twice. This is big.”

I knew he was teasing, but I suspected there was a lot of truth behind his words. It seemed like very few people were allowed in his personal space, and he had invited me to come over and spend the night.

“I hope I make a good second impression. I didn’t bring snacks this time.”

“We’ll see. If he hates you now, it’ll be a deal breaker.”

Swallowing hard, I had never thought that my entire future would be based on a cat liking me or not. He unlocked the door and we walked in.

“Meeeeeeooooooooooowwwwwwww.” Larry walked back and forth on the counter, clearly trying to get Tyler’s attention. “Sorry, he’s not used to people being here. You were our last visitor.” The cat continued to meow while we took off our shoes, and I followed him into his comfortable home. This time, I looked around the living room and noticed books and pictures on the shelves. In the kitchen, he opened a can for Larry, who paced impatiently, and wound himself around my legs every pass.

“Looks like he still likes you. Your approval hasn't been revoked. Whatever will you do with the power?” He came up close to me, leaned up, and kissed me. His tongue delved in and teased mine, and the heat warmed my entire body. Blood filled my cock, and his hand slid around my waist where he pulled my shirt out of my waistband, then slid his palms under the fabric, and I shuddered from the contact. Our tongues continued to dance, and moans escaped from me as he deepened the kiss that made me throb.

“Would you like to join me in the shower?”

“A shower with you would be amazing.” He said in a breathy way. I am sure the smile on my face was too much, but being wetand naked with Tyler would be more than amazing, but I tried not to act too eager.

In the bedroom, he slowly undressed me. He maintained eye contact as he removed each item of clothing. Then placed open-mouth kisses down my neck and across my collarbone. As soon as he stood up, I got to kiss along his jaw and down his neck, relishing how his body shuddered under my lips. I would be happy to do this all day. I pulled him tight against me. It was my turn to remove the rest of his clothes, and it felt like opening the greatest present, as I uncovered more skin, my breath caught. He was so gorgeous, his body was perfect, strong, with curving muscles, his chest had light colored hair that went down his sternum to his stomach, where there was another soft patch that led under the waist of his pants.

“I could stare at you for hours.” I watched as the blush started on his chest and worked its way up to the tips of his ears. It was charming, and I kissed him deeply before I removed his underwear. When I had him naked, I stepped back so he was at arm’s length. “Amazing.”

He smiled almost shyly, before he pulled me against him, and rubbed his solid cock against mine. As the two shafts made contact, I rolled my hips and immediately wanted to feel it again. It felt like nothing else ever had, and made my head spin a little, knowing I made him that hard. We kissed the whole time as he guided me into the bathroom, where he started the water. We made out until the bathroom was steamy, then he took my hand, stepped inside the stall, and pulled me with him.

It was a tight fit for two grown men, but I didn’t mind. I wanted to pamper him by washing him, tucking him into bed, and holding him all night. As I soaped up my hands, I again admired his beautiful body, then I reverently washed him. My hands ran up his ribs, over his shoulders, and down his long legs, then I made sure to take s few extra minutes, and washedbetween his thighs, my hands fondled his full balls, then stroked the length of his cock. He stood there while I touched him, as he leaned into my hands, and I worshiped his skin. The privilege of touching him like this felt like a gift, and I knew I wanted to do it a thousand times more—to give him pleasure in a way that wasn’t just making love.

Making love? Oh no.

Chapter sixteen

TYLER

When West came to the shop to help with the wedding order, it was unexpected, opening my heart to him more. His hands glided over my sore muscles when we showered, making me feel wanted and cared for.
