He leaned in and kissed Isaac’s neck.

“Wh… what are you doing?” Isaac asked, his body tensing beneath his.

“Just enjoying my dream.” That comment could be taken in so many different ways.

Isaac chuckled. “If this is a dream, here’s the part where you shove your dick inside me and fuck me into next Tuesday.”

“Do we use spit or lube?” Jared asked, thrusting his boner forward and loving the feel of Isaac’s hard-on pressing against his.

“Top’s choice.”

Jared smiled down at Isaac and lost himself in his emerald eyes.

The light from the sun gently fell across Isaac’s face, making his eyes sparkle and his skin glow with that gentle morning kiss enjoyed by all early-morning lovers.

“So? Care to explain why it is that you sneak into my room sometimes, then try and sneak out before I wake up?” Jared asked, curious about his early morning visits.

Isaac’s cheeks flushed, and his eyes looked away.

“No. This is just a dream. Get to the railing of my ass part.”

Jared chuckled. He wasn’t going to let the man get out of this one so easily.

He lifted his hand and gently caressed the side of Isaac’s face. Jared stared into his eyes and gave Isaac a warm smile. “Please. Be honest with me for once.”

Isaac’s eyes began to soften. “I’m always honest with you.”

Yes, he was.

Even though Isaac got creative with the words he used from time to time or the way he liked to position things, he never once lied to Jared.

Letting out a breath, the boy rested his palms on Jared’s heaving biceps. His hands were warm and weren’t shaking one bit.

Was he warming up to him?

“You were having another one of your nightmares,” Isaac whispered with such compassion in his voice.

Jared’s eyes widened.

He knew that he still had nightmares but didn’t realize he was having them on the mornings when he found Isaac slipping out of his room. Those mornings, he always woke so well-rested and refreshed.

“The walls between our bedrooms are not that thick, so whenever I hear you struggling, I slip in here and cuddle you back to sleep.”

The raw honesty in Isaac’s voice had Jared’s throat choking up.

“What? I… Why would you…” He didn’t know what to say.

Hearing that Isaac was sneaking into his bedroom to comfort him and take care of him was so… touching. He never realized that the little demon child who liked to slip Viagra into his morning coffee could be so… caring.

Isaac gently ran his hand across Jared’s bare chest. The feeling made Jared’s dick even harder.

“Because… I like you.” His confession was so open and honest, so unlike the Isaac he was used to.

Jared felt his heart leap in his chest. He had always hoped that one day, somehow, he might win the heart of this feisty pain-in-his-ass, but he always found a way to convince himself it could never happen. But now, here he was, staring down into Isaac’s vulnerable green eyes, watching his lips slowly part.

He couldn’t contain himself any longer.

Jared leaned down and gently captured Isaac’s lips in a kiss. His lips were soft and smooth and moved ever so slowly.
