To Never Fall In Love 🤍 Boat/Lee

Chapter 10 ~ happy ~

Tongues collided and battled for control as the would-be lovers kissed passionately, Champ weaved his fingers through Liam's hair as Liam clawed at Champ's muscular upper arms. 

"I missed you so fucking much" Champ growled into Liam's mouth afraid to put any distance between them both.

"ahh mmssdd ooo ooo" Liam tried to say as Champ's tongue thrust mercilessly into his mouth leaving no room for a counter-attack.

Champ threw his leg over Liam's lower body and ground his hips against him until Liam turned to get the same contact.

Suddenly Champ stopped, his forehead resting against Liam's as they both panted and gasped for breath.

"we can't do this Liam" Champ said.

"but ..."

"trust me when I tell you that I want you so bad but we are not going to do this in the back of my rig like you're some cheap hook up" Champ repeated himself.

"wait, is that something you've done before?" Liam asked a little shocked.

"no, but I've seen it happen over the years, I don't blame the guys if they're single and on the road a lot but I don't want that for us" Champ said.

"thank you for saying that Champ, I don't want that either" Liam agreed.

"come on, let's try and get some sleep" Champ said snuggling down and keeping his leg over Liam's lower body.

Liam was cocooned in Champ's warmth as he snuggled against his ripped torso, Champ's muscular arms holding him secure as if afraid he would run away.

"goodnight Champ, I ... love you" Liam said.

"I ... I ... goodnight Liam, I hope you sleep well" Champ replied.

Liam wasn't surprised that Champ didn't say 'I love you' back to him nor was he offended. He knew Champ had strong feelings for him, his actions told him constantly, he was just too afraid to say the words. 

Since Champ had told him about his low life parents, Liam knew he really did have abandonment issues and it would take time and patience to show Champ that he wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon.

The deep rumbling of an engine woke Liam at 6am the following morning and he looked around the small bunk area to discover that he was alone. Sitting up and poking his head through the curtain he found the cab empty.

He brushed his fingers through his hair and sat on the side of the bunk to pull on his jeans. He needed to go to the bathroom but Champ had warned him not to go wandering about alone, did he mean through the night or all the time?

Pulling on his over shirt he clambered through to the main cab area and looked through the windows to see if he could see Champ. He couldn't leave the rig unattended and unlocked anyway so he had no choice but to wait until Champ returned. 

Liam sat cooling his heels until about ten minutes later he saw Champ walking towards the rig, a bag in his hand.

Opening the door he saw Liam and smiled,

"good morning baby"

"Champ, where were you, I was so worried" Liam said.

"I went to get us some hot coffee and something to eat, I asked them to fill the flask too, I wanted to bring you breakfast in bed" Champ smiled.

"thanks for the thought but unfortunately another lorry woke me up then I wanted to go to the bathroom but I remembered what you said"

"do you need to go now or do you want breakfast first" Champ asked.
