The Act

The Note

Sage's POV

I am a bibliophile. I love books and reading the stories of others. Real or fake. Something about putting yourself into someone else's perspective and living their life is refreshing. When i'm all caught up on work and Xan is occupied, reading is was keeps
me busy.

I'm currently reading a novel about a young woman who looses sight of who she is due to her obsession with money. She has a set way of doings things until a pro-athlete comes into her life and shakes everything up. It's extremely interesting. So interesting that I had just started it when I left the living room so Xan and Leo could talk, and now i'm on page 210.

Yes i'm a book nerd. Sue me.

I finish one last page before, the sound of the bedroom door clicking pulls me out of my trance. Pushing the reading glasses on my nose up, I lock eyes with the man i've grown to love so damn much. His hair was messy and he wore causal clothes, looking good enough to eat.

"Hi baby." I greet smiling at him.

Mumbling a hi he makes his way over to the bed before flopping down on my entire body, making me squeal. He laid his head on my stomach, while his arms wrapped around my waist. His pretty eyes peered up at me softly.

"You look so fucking adorable with these glasses on." He voices reaching up to trace the frames. Unable to keep the smile off my face, I grin down at him like an idiot. Then I bend down placing a quick but deep
peck on his pretty lips.

"Thank you." I say before asking. "How'd your talk go?"

The answer was quite obvious. Xan seemed to be more carefree then he was prior to the conversation. I can tell he feels better about telling Leo, I just want to hear it from him.

"It went great. I don't even know why I was worried in the first place." Oh thank God.

"I love to hear that Xan." I reach down caressing her jaw, unable to keep my hands off him. "I'm so damn proud of you baby."

My words were meant to be seen as assurance yet Xan's eyes tell me that it made him horny.

"Fuck Sage." He lets out gutturally. "Let me eat you baby." The man almost begged.

And I would've given in, I mean who wouldn't. Yet glancing at the time I see that I have fifteen minutes until i'm supposed to be at the gym. Shit.

"I have to be at the gym in fiften minutes Xan." I give him a sad look and he eats it right up.

"I only need a few minutes." He replies kissing my stomach.

I send him a look because knowing Xan, he'll eat me real good then he'll never want to stop. Then i'll end up going no where.

"Nope, not risking it buddy." I say pushing him off me so that I can stand from the bed.

I then slide the glasses off my face sitting them
on the nightstand.

"Buddy?" Xan shoots me a 'what the fuck' type of face and I just laugh.

"I'm joking, baby boy." I say giving him sex eyes and he glares at me.

"Keep playing and you won't go anywhere." His threat hangs in the air, promising the end of my walking ability.
