Page 86 of Perfect Night

They were half an hour late for brunch, as Sebastian, impressed by the size of the walk-in shower, hadn’t been able to stop himself from pounding Charlie against the wall.

There were four knowing looks when they finally walked into the quirky cafe. Charlie gave KC a hug. She introduced herself to Sebastian. He took her hand and kissed it.

“Ma’am.”

KC looked flustered before she recovered and started laughing. They took their seats as Sebastian grabbed the menu.He knew the boys ordered the same thing every week, so he didn’t want to be the holdup.

“I’m surprised you could go again so soon,” said Jason. “I heard you going at it three times last night. You gotta be sore, babes.”

Charlie banged his head on the table with a groan. Sebastian couldn’t help but feel proud. It was good to know his three times in one night wasn’t a fluke. Charlie was a young guy with a healthy sexual appetite. Sebastian wanted to keep up with him as long as he could.

“What’s good?” he asked, to change the subject.

That had been a mistake. There was a heated debate about the answer. In the end he went for a KC Special breakfast, at her recommendation, which was a full English with American pancakes. It was like his two worlds coming together on one delicious plate.

There was little talking as they ate, apart from idle chitchat about their various weeks. Charlie’s had been the most exciting. Jason relished the role he’d played in drafting the email he’d sent to Nathaniel and Geraldine with the recording. Charlie hadn’t wanted to be greedy. He’d asked for a year’s salary, which he could get tax-free as it was under the legal threshold. Jason had wanted to push for more, but Charlie just wanted to be done with it all. He explained he was going to use the money to set up his own consultancy company.

“And before either of you say anything,” Charlie said, pointing his knife at Sebastian and Gregory. “I don’t need any financial support, backers, or partners. I’m doing this by myself.”

Sebastian grinned at Gregory. They’d both been thinking the same thing.

“Counter-offer,” said Gregory with a smirk.

“Let’s hear it,” said Charlie, leaning back with a sigh.

“We both run companies we started from scratch. And we’ve both made mistakes.”

He turned to Sebastian, who nodded his agreement.

“You don’t have to take it, but will you at least let us both give you some advice about starting a company?”

Charlie smiled. “Of course. I’d be stupid not to take advice from my super-successful friend – and my super-successful and hot boyfriend.”

The table whooped at theboyfriendcomment, which caused Charlie to put his head on the table again. Sebastian massaged the back of his neck, which relaxed him. The conversation moved on to poor Langdon and some guy he was working with called Eric. It appeared that everyone had an opinion on it.

“Can you find some time this week to come and look at some houses with me?” Sebastian asked Charlie.

He looked startled, not sure what to say.

“Relax. I wouldn’t take you away from this lot. Not yet, anyway. But one day I hope to, so I think you should have a say in the place I buy, don’t you?”

Charlie smiled and nodded his agreement. Sebastian leaned in for a kiss, which got some more whoops around the table, causing them both to laugh. If he had his way, he’d have Charlie move in with him straight away, but knew how important these guys were to him, as was his mother. He was more than happy to wait, because he now knew Charlie was his forever.

EPILOGUE

CHARLIE

Three months later

Charlie moaned with pleasure as Sebastian ploughed him from behind. He couldn’t believe it had been almost five since the night they first met, and they still couldn’t keep their hands off each other. It was like a decade in gay years.

“I’m close, gorgeous,” Sebastian growled in his ear.

He held up his palm in front of Charlie’s face for him to lick, before taking hold of his cock and going to work on him. The sensation of Sebastian nailing his prostate and his big hands wanking him off took him over the edge in seconds. Sebastian groaned in Charlie’s ear as he came. They’d ditched condoms a couple of months ago and there was nothing hotter than when Sebastian came inside him.

Before they could come down from the high, the doorbell rang.

“Who the fuck is that? We told people not to be here for another hour.”
