The Bodyguard's Duty ✅

Chapter 38 - Another Farewell

*Extended chapter

~~~~~~~~~~

Thomas didn't realise how much he missed waking up next to someone as he found himself in bed with Ethan the next morning.

Stretching his aching limbs, Thomas felt the cosy bedsheets graze his bare skin. One of Thomas' arms were weighed down by Ethan's heavy torso, and the bodyguard also felt the other man's body heat radiating out of him - making Thomas feel enveloped with warmth and comfort.

Thomas' eyes were barely open when he looked down at their entwined bodies. Thomas noticed that Ethan was facing away from him, but he also saw how their naked sides were still pressed against each other.

Running his hand down Ethan's nearby arm, Thomas wanted to feel even closer to Ethan. He was gentle as he wanted to tease Ethan, and Thomas chuckled to himself when he felt Ethan's skin quickly fill with goosebumps.

Ethan began to stir in his sleep as he shuffled around on the spot. His body was still wrapped around Thomas' arm as Ethan began to tuck his own body inwards.

Thomas ran a finger down Ethan's spine as he stared at Ethan's golden skin. Placing a kiss in between his shoulder blades, Thomas snuggled in closer and hugged Ethan from behind.

Ethan was now awake as a dazzling smile appeared on his face. He was enjoying being pressed against Thomas' body as he then wrapped his own arms around Thomas' arms.

"Morning." Thomas smiled as he stroked the back of Ethan's hands.

"It would be if you let me sleep." Ethan chuckled.

"Sorry," Thomas apologised. "I just got excited when we woke up like this."

Ethan blindly reached under the duvet and felt how Thomas meant it in more ways than one. He began to wholeheartedly laugh when Thomas began to press kisses onto his neck - showing him his enthusiasm.

Ethan let go of his grasp on Thomas as he then turned his body around to to face him. Once he saw the blinding smile on Thomas' face, Ethan felt the need to kiss Thomas on his gentle lips.

Thomas gave Ethan one kiss after the another, because it was something he could never get tired of. Ethan had pulled away first, because he moved his head onto Thomas' firm chest.

"Your muscles makes you really comfy," Ethan chuckled as he made himself more comfortable in Thomas' embrace. "I want to close my eyes for a little bit longer."

Thomas kissed the top of Ethan's head as he made himself comfortable too. He was no longer tired as he just wanted to memorise how their bodies were peaceful and entwined.

Soon enough, Ethan became more lively as he asked. "What time is it?"

Thomas rolled towards the bedside table and looked at Ethan's nearby phone. "A little after 10. You've also got a message from Kristen by the way."

Ethan caught the phone that Thomas passed him. He unlocked his phone in front of Thomas as he paraphrased the message, "Kristen's asking if I want to get lunch with her and Harrison later."

Ethan looked away from his phone so that he could ask Thomas, "Come with me?"

"If I tag along then I need to go to the airport straight afterwards," Thomas pointed out. "You cool with that?"

"Of course." Ethan answered as he began to text Kristen.

"We're going to need lunch if we're skipping the rest of breakfast." Thomas suggested as he began to play with Ethan's bare chest.
