Cute Boy [PhayuRain] [Love In The Air]

4. SLEEPING & AWAKENING

*** LATER THAT NIGHT***

The apartment was a flight up consisting of decent-sized living quarters.

There was a lounge area with a deep leather couch and a large coffee table. On the opposite wall was a big bed surrounded by bookshelves for privacy.

Phayu pointed to a door and said, "You can use the bathroom to take a shower and warm up. There's a closet in there with clean clothes that you can use."

Rain looked around to take in his surroundings. He then went into the bathroom as much to steady himself as to warm up after the drenching from the storm.

He took his time taking a shower and washing his hair. He looked into the closet and found grey sweats and t-shirts neatly folded in a pile, all of which would be big on him.

He helped himself to these clothes, pulling them on over his underwear which was still thankfully dry.

He came out of the bathroom to see that Phayu had also changed his clothes.

Rain took in the black tank top that was hugging his muscular body and the loose grey sweatpants that looked well-worn.

The atmosphere had turned more intimate with the change of clothes, the coziness of the small space, and the sound of rain pelting the large windows.

Rain tried to lighten the atmosphere and turn it back to business. "I didn't realize that your family ran a garage."

Phayu laughed lightly and said jokingly, "You didn't ask."

Rain gave him a wry look.

"Please, I was nervous about where I would end up tonight. I wouldn't have been so anxious if I knew that this was your family's. So, should we discuss the fee?"

"Come sit here," Phayu said pointing to the bed that he was using as a seat.

Rain was getting a little nervous now but didn't see any reason to say no.

"Your hair is dripping, let me help you dry it," he said.

Rain's senses were now starting to go on alert as Phayu reached over and took the towel out of Rain's hands.

Rain was sitting so close to him that he could smell the fragrance of the laundry detergent on his clothes. He was hyper-aware of everything about this man.

Now that they were side by side, Rain felt quite delicate next to him.

He wasn't that much shorter, but Phayu had about 3 inches of height and a good 25-30 lbs of pure muscle on him. This contrast made a pulse of excitement sizzle through Rain which caught him completely off guard.

He sat still as Phayu dried his hair slowly.

It was a very comforting feeling to have his hair wiped by someone else. He slowly became aware that he could no longer feel the towel but fingers softly massaging the back of his neck.

All his senses fired into high alert.

At the exact moment that he became aware of the fingers, he felt Phayu's lips on the side of his neck.

He stilled as he tried to process what was happening. Phayu took his lack of response as a positive sign and pounced over him like a lion taking down its prey.

In a flash, Rain was flat on his back on the bed with Phayu straddling him, nuzzling his neck.

Rain was shocked, never expecting the electric undercurrents that he felt to escalate this fast.
