Chen's home

Chen nervously paces waiting for his boyfriend. It's been several weeks since Ming-jin gave him quite clear advice about moving his relationship to the next level. They get so close and then pull back as if Jong-woo is protecting his honor in some way. Well, it's his own fault. He said he wanted to go slow.

"Why is this so difficult," Chen mummers to himself. "He's not my ex. He's kind, caring, smart, and I-I love him. Fuck, I love him." He startles hearing a knock at the door. Inhaling and exhaling a deep breath, he steadies himself and opens the door.

There he stands -- his gorgeous alpha man holding a beautiful bouquet of red roses and a smile.

"Good evening. You look wonderful baby." Jong-woo steps in and places a soft kiss on his cheek. Chen is caught off guard by the sweet endearment baby. He likes it as it makes him feel like he is his.

"Baby? That's different."

"Is there a problem with that?" Jong-woo says with a devilish smirk as he pulls Chen close, pressing his hand into his lower back

"Is there a problem with that?" Jong-woo says with a devilish smirk as he pulls Chen close, pressing his hand into his lower back. His voice is different. Lower, commanding and really hot.

"Uh, no. It's nice." Chen lowers his head as his cheeks heat up.

"Are these for me?" Chen reaches for the gorgeous bouquet.

"No." Chen pauses and Jong-woo chuckles.

"Of course, they are for you." Chen smiles again with a soft blush to his cheeks. He's not surprised. Jong-woo is very thoughtful and always brings him something. He's never had such attention. The man just got here and already the tone of the evening is different from any other they've had. His body is heating, and he wants him in his bed tonight. God he's sexy.

"Chen, I was hoping we would stay in and spend a quiet night here. Is that okay?" Before he can answer, Jong-woo unexpectedly pulls him into a kiss. It's not the typical, hello, welcome, or good to see you quick kiss. It's passionate and full of heat. They are standing when Chen feels the short but quick press of his alpha's hand on his ass. He involuntary moans. When he releases him, Chen is not certain as to why the room is spinning. All he can do is nod. Fuck, he's on full alpha and taking charge. It is the sexiest thing ever.

"Uh yeah, uh that's cool." Chen gulps and then sits. I think we might be of one mind.

"Chen, I have held back with you. I only know how to be honest, and I intend on being fully honest with you tonight. Are you ready to be fully honest with me about us and what you want?" Again, Chen finds himself shocked as he struggles to process what he's hearing. After a few seconds he rapidly nods. Lost are his quick responses and smart comments. Only his true honest self remains. But what changed for Jong-woo? He is direct and so in charge. Fuck yeah, Chen's brain whispers.
