My beautiful Baby Doll,his phone says.

“My Lovie Leo.” I sit up to drag my lips over his left cheek. “I love you.”

“I love you more,” he says in his own garbled voice.

“Our first argument,” I tease, and pull the covers over us. He settles flat on his back and pulls me to his chest. His fingers skate down my back and push his cum back into my hole.

“We’re forever.” I kiss his chest and taste where he’s smeared my cum.

“Agreed,” he says, and I’m lulled to sleep with the sound of his heartbeat under my ear.

Chapter 43 - Epilogue

Leo

No one has ever accused me of being a patient man. When I decide on something, I go after it. I’ve done my physical and speech therapy religiously and recovered faster than the doctor predicted.

My watch hands have only moved a couple of minutes, but Caleb should be home soon. Dinner’s in the oven, and I set the table for a romantic dinner for two.

Not only do I want Caleb in my bed every night, I need him there. Life is unpredictable and too short to live on other people’s timelines. The only thing holding me back from asking Caleb to move in is my son. I promised Mason I wouldn’t come between him and Caleb, and I meant it.

I’ve been exploring other career options, and I hope he doesn’t feel smothered.

“Hey, Lovie.” Caleb strides in and doesn’t stop until he’s in my personal space.

I take his mouth and hold him to me. Before Caleb, I never thought much about kissing, but the weeks not being able to kiss him were torture. Instead of my need for him waning, every day I crave more. I’m an endless well of want and desire for him.

The oven timer goes off, and I tear my mouth from his.

“What’s all this?” He surveys the apartment as I let go.

“Dinner for my boyfriend,” I say. Everyone hates the phrase we need to talk, so I’ll let the conversation flow naturally.

“I love how much you love me.” He covers my back with his chest and kisses my shoulder. “So there’s something I need to talk to you about.”

I hold in the laugh with the spike of irony happening. “Great, I have some opportunities I’d like to talk to you about as well.”

“As long as the opportunities don’t involve breaking up with me, the answer is yes.”

My thumb and forefinger grip his chin as I pull him in for another kiss. “Don’t even joke about that.” I carry the dish to the table and pull out his chair.

“Dayyyummm. The full treatment tonight. I’m not sure if I should get naked now or be nervous.”

“Naked,” I reply and serve him. “But that might distract us, so we’ll do naked Caleb in my lap on the couch after dinner.” I pause. “For dessert.”

“I’ll go first.” Caleb gulps down a glass of water. “You know the newish defender, Kenney? He found a roommate online and has been living in hell for the past month. He thinks his roomie is dealing drugs and needs to get out fast. Mason saw the place and said he’s afraid for Kenney’s safety. We were talking, and since I’m hardly at my apartment…” He trails off and moves his food around with his fork. “I mean, it could be temporary if you think it’s too soon…”

I stand so fast the chair hits the floor and startles Caleb. He’s in my arms, food forgotten. “You’re moving in with me,” I growl. “Should we get the rest of your things now?”

Caleb’s laughter fills the room, and he picks me up off my feet. He rarely uses his strength on me, but I love it. “It’s getting late. I plan to stay the night anyway, and you just promised me naked lap time, so I think we can wait until tomorrow after practice.”

“I’ll drive you to the apartment to get a ride with Mason and pack while you’re at practice.” I mentally make a list of packing supplies to get. “What furniture are you bringing with you?”

His round green eyes fill with wonder. “You really want me to live with you? Like all day every day with no reservations or regrets?”

“I’ve wanted it since New Year’s Eve, but I didn’t want to scare you. The only regret I have is not making you mine sooner.” I kiss his forehead, and he beams.

“Newsflash, you can’t scare me, Daddy. You’re stuck with me forever. Nobody else understands me.”
