Turning off the lights, he headed out of the front doors just in time to see Eli pulling into the parking lot. Heading over and crawling into the Aston Martin that his husband loved to drivethe most out of all their cars, he leaned over and pressed a quick kiss onto Eli’s lips before buckling up and snagging the smoothie that waited in the cup holder for him.
Jackson let out a moan as the first sip hit his taste buds. Hearing a groan coming from the driver side, he peered over just in time to watch Eli adjust in his seat.
He loved knowing he had such a big effect on his husband and used it to his advantage any time he could. Taking another sip, he let out another moan. It really was a dang good smoothie.
“I know what you are doing and you're playing a dangerous game.”
“I have no clue what you are talking about.”
“Sure you don’t. You know the only time you should be making those sinful sounds is when I’m between your legs.”
Now Jackson was the one shifting in his seat as his pants grew tighter. He needed to change the subject before this spiraled out of control and they ended up in bed before they even had dinner.
The idea had some merit though, but he was trying to be a good boy for once.
“How was your day, babe?” He asked Eli, in a hope to redirect their thoughts.
“It was good. This freshman class is showing some promise. I can see several that show a lot of potential, if we can make sure they stick with the material.”
Eli was head of the Economics Department and taught the freshmen economics class every year. He was a great professor and if he said someone showed potential, Jackson believed him.
“That’s great to hear. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.”
Jackson bit his lip, having an internal battle with himself. He didn’t know if he should tell Eli yet about the young girl who caught his eye.
He knew that the hang up that he was going to have to battle with his husband was the fact the girl looked barely legal. Jackson didn’t have a problem with an age gap, especially considering there was one between him and Eli though it's not that big.
“How was the library? Anything interesting happen?”
“It was about the same as the rest of the days there. Lots of bright eyed freshmen filtered their way into the library today. Over half of them won’t step foot back into the building, it happens every year.”
“You’re right, but that’s alright. Just makes the relationship you build with the ones who do return so much better.”
Jackson nodded his head. It was the same every year, but Eli wasn’t wrong. Cutting off his train of thought, he crawled out of the car and headed into the house.
They purchased the home a few years ago when they had decided to finally start looking for someone to add to their relationship. The five bedroom home seemed a little excessive since it would only have three people living in it, but Jackson had fallen in love with the house.
On four acres of land that butted up against a beautiful lake, the five bedroom house had a spacious kitchen that connected to an informal dining room. The master bedroom had an attached bathroom that they had remodeled to have a shower big enough for them both to be in.
Jackson took the initiative to turn one of the extra rooms into an office for Eli, that had bookshelves that lined one of the walls for all the first editions that his husband always bought for birthdays and anniversaries.
They both worked together on setting up the nursery for their future Little. It had to be perfect for the Little girl they would call their own. It was painted sky blue and one wall featured clouds painted in all different shapes.
The bottom of the wall had roses and lilies painted in a beautiful field. There was a light oak daybed in the corner of the room that had the ability to attach the last side rail to turn it into a crib.
On the other wall was a changing table, bookshelf, and the rocking chair that was big enough to hold the men and their Little girl. It had turned out perfect, but it was missing the touch of a woman. One that would come in and make the nursery hers. Destiny was the woman they were waiting for, Jackson just knew it.
Looking downat the plate that Eli sat in front of him, Jackson bit back another groan. He is spoiled and isn’t afraid to admit it. The steak was cooked to perfection just as he liked it, creamy mashed potatoes, and a caesar salad to finish it all off.
If they weren’t already married, he would have gotten down on one knee and proposed right then. Taking a sip of the wine that Jackson had picked out and poured for them, he waited for Eli to sit before digging in.
Swallowing the bite and holding back his moan, Jackson broached the topic that he knew was going to change their life forever.
“I met someone today.”
At Eli’s eyebrow raise he continued on.
“She came into the library today and sat in the back working on a research paper.”
