Chapter 16 - Nothing Stays Buried!

Xander

It's been five days! Five magical fucking days! Michael is leaving tomorrow to go back home but I know, more hoping, he is as reluctant to go as I am to let him leave. For the past week I get to go home and find that he actually cooked for me, yeah it some health crap but someone actually cooked me dinner. I kept telling him that he didn't need to do that, then again, he mentioned it was the least he could do since I kidnapped him from his hotel room. I was sure as fuck not going to let him stay in there when some threatened him! Once Michael informed Abby of the fucker's whereabouts and threats, Brian was at my door not a few minutes later with police back up. The sour expression on his face was priceless. He hated being coddled even back then. If he had a problem and he knew he could fix it himself, he would never bother mentioning it. Sometimes we would only find out about weeks later and that pissed me the fuck off! Brian refused to have him go anywhere without a police officer tailing him, that was a fun shit show! On the up side I got to go to work without having to over stress myself on his safety and then when I got home at night, I got a home cooked meal and sex! Lots and lots of sex! For a man who claimed he was a virgin he sure knows his way around the bedroom, not that we even make it there sometimes! I have to admit, every touch, every kiss from him sets my entire body ablaze. I didn't know fucking could be that good but with him its explosive. We haven't talked about what the future holds or anything the last couple of days but I sure as hell know I am not done with him, not in the least. I missed him. I missed his smile. His laugh and the fact that I can go toe to toe with him, knowing he would match me every step of the way! He has changed a lot from the boy that left at sixteen. Not just physical appearance which I have to admit is even more of a bonus than anything else. But the personality changed. He has a massive back bone, not afraid to fight. I heard him one morning over the phone with a client and it even made me scared. He has a way with words that doesn't involve swearing, unlike my sailor mouth, that gets his point across while making the poor person pee themselves on the other en of the line. I just sure as God hope I am never on the receiving side of that rage. We spoke a little about the last ten years, me more than him. He keeps dodging most of my question regarding it, it pisses me off like a fucking fire cracker but I know I shouldn't push him. We were the ones that forced that life on him, and I just hope our secret stays buried so he never finds out otherwise we will lose him again. I will lose him again and that's not fucking happening. Michael and Sarah relationship has turned around, they talk most days or he goes to get coffee with her after school at Jean's. She is still busting my balls every chance she gets and she did that well at the wedding! I felt like a two-year-old boy being scolded for breaking the crayons. I couldn't get a word in edgewise before the wrath of hell came back down on me. Jean was always protective of him even back then, I guess somethings never change. It was Saturday morning; the smell of fresh water and sex was all you could find in my room. Michael was still asleep besides, his head resting on my arm while clutching the pillow against his chest. I never thought I'd see the day I would be jealous of a fucking pillow. The veins on his biceps were throbbing from the force he was holding on to that pillow. He was perfect, he always was!

The red digital numbers on my bedside clock told me we had to get up and get a few things

before we everyone comes over for a barbecue tonight. I took the chance and brushed my thumb across his soft lips. They are soft to the touch but even better against my own. My lips barely touched his before broke out in a grin.

"If this is your way of waking me up every morning, I concur!" His eyes were still closed all the way as he mumbled.

"Time to get up, we have a busy day ahead!" I whispered. Those crystal blue eyes fluttered open and it took everything in me not to melt there on the spot! Fuck they were beautiful!
