Lorenzo wrapped up, saying, “That’s all for today. Head back to your desks.”

Chairs pushed back as people stood and shuffled out. Then Lorenzo added, “Reece? Stick around?”

“Sure,” Kingsley replied.

He dropped back into his chair at the long table. His eyes stayed on Lorenzo, who stood tall and watched the room empty out bit by bit. Kingsley gazed without hiding it, his heart beating a little faster. He had not talked to Lorenzo since Friday, and now the chance to be alone made his stomach flip.

When the last person clicked the door shut, Lorenzo walked over. He pulled out the chair next to Kingsley and sat down.

“I kept you because…” Lorenzo stopped, his eyes locking on Kingsley’s face. “I want you to handle talks with Russo Group. Or with who runs their small company.”

“Me?” Kingsley’s face went pale, like blood rushed away from his skin. “Why?”

“Do you have to ask?” Lorenzo lifted his eyebrows. “You worked so hard on this. It’s a big chance. You earned it.”

    A few years later."We truly don't need to attend if you're not up for it," Lorenzo remarked, a gentle frown creasing his face as he gazed at his boyfriend.They were seated in his car, parked just outside Kingsley's former high school. It was the occasion of Kingsley's class reunion, and he'd been reluctant about participating from the outset. Initially, he declared he had absolutely no desire to go. Yet, he gradually began discussing his school days more frequently, recalling his experiences and the individuals he longed to see.Only two evenings prior to the event, Kingsley expressed his wish to attend. He hadn't anticipated Lorenzo accompanying him. He assumed it would be challenging for Lorenzo to secure time off from work on such brief notice, but Lorenzo refused to let Kingsley face it solo. Particularly since he understood how anxious Kingsley felt about the whole situation. Which was unusual given Kingsley's typical self-assurance, so there was no chance Lorenzo would remain

    "I believe you ought to join me at Javi's wedding," Lorenzo remarked unexpectedly, nearly causing Kingsley to choke on his burrito.Kingsley coughed, then wiped his mouth and glanced up at his boyfriend, his widened eyes plainly revealing the surprise he felt. Typical of Lorenzo to pick the most arbitrary moment to drop such a bombshell. They were presently at a Tex-Mex eatery having lunch on a Saturday. Lorenzo had spent the night before at Kingsley's place, and needless to say, both had built up a substantial hunger."Are you inviting me or commanding me?" Kingsley shot back."Force of habit, my apologies," Lorenzo shook his head. "Mi amor, would you care to join me as my date to my brother's wedding next month?""You really want me to go with you?" Kingsley inquired, truly astonished by Lorenzo."I wouldn't have posed the question if I didn't," Lorenzo shrugged nonchalantly, then took a bite of his taco."So, basically... you want me to meet your family," Kingsley mused, his though

    “I truly believe Matt is nursing a serious crush on Noelle, so I’m seriously considering pairing them up for the next group project,” Kai declared, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he gestured animatedly with his fork. “Plus, Matt is an absolute wizard at history, and Noelle is teetering on the edge of failing if she doesn’t pull her grades up soon. It’s the perfect solution—two problems solved with one strategic move.”Kai was in full teacher-mode, passionately venting about his students while the four men finished their dessert. Roan propped his chin on his hand, elbow on the table, gazing at his husband with that soft, indulgent focus he always wore whenever Kai got like this. Every few minutes Kai would get so caught up in his story that he’d forget to take a bite, and Roan would either gently nudge the fork toward his mouth or simply feed him himself, a quiet act of devotion that never failed to make Kingsley’s chest feel warm.Lorenzo and Kingsley exchanged amused glances as

    “I always found it odd that you never brought me to your place, but now it clicks,” Lorenzo remarked with a laugh as he scanned Kingsley’s expansive bedroom.“You never suggested coming over either,” Kingsley shot back as he pivoted to look at Lorenzo. They were both sprawled nude on his bed, fresh from their second bout of intimacy.“I assumed you might have roommates or whatever, and with us keeping everything under wraps… my spot just felt like the more secure choice,” Lorenzo clarified.“That tracks,” Kingsley murmured.“I dig your apartment,” Lorenzo commented.“I don’t,” Kingsley replied nonchalantly. “Yours feels better. It’s got character and… feels like a real home.”“You could hang some photos on the walls and add a few plants, perhaps. Liven things up a little,” Lorenzo proposed.He’d picked up on how barren Kingsley’s place seemed, even with the top-notch furnishings. It resembled a show home more than a lived-in space for years.“Possibly,” Kingsley mumbled. Lorenzo stret

    Kingsley’s spine slammed against the wall as he eyed Lorenzo advancing toward him at a deliberate pace.With each passing moment, Kingsley’s pulse raced harder. Lorenzo hadn’t laid a finger on him yet, just tormenting him with that intense gaze sweeping across his fully dressed form.Kingsley’s breathing faltered as Lorenzo shrugged off his suit jacket, letting it tumble carelessly to the ground while he tugged his tie loose. The predatory glint in his eyes made Kingsley feel like hunted game for the first time ever—and he didn’t hate it. If anything, it thrilled him. So much that the tent in his trousers was already impossible to miss.His stare dropped to Lorenzo’s groin as the man undid his belt. Kingsley swallowed hard. He hadn’t hooked up with anyone besides Lorenzo in ages, and he had no desire to. Back when they weren’t an item, every time he hit the town and someone even glanced his way with interest, it just felt… off. Like he was meant for Lorenzo alone. The mere idea of ano

    “—I dunno, we’ve been trying to set something up since then, but either work’s got me tied up or it’s him. We can’t snag a slot where we’re both free. It’s driving me nuts, but what can you do? We’ve both got companies riding on us.”“Damn,” Roan commented once Kingsley wrapped his vent. “Weekend?”“Got a shoot and magazine chat Saturday. And Lorenzo’s got plans to tour his brother and fiancée around town,” Kingsley sighed, adjusting his tie in the mirror. His phone was on speaker, updating Roan and Kai on life.“I’m just stoked you two hashed it out and got back on track,” Kai said.“And no more hiding or job worries.”“Yeah,” Kingsley paused. “Gotta admit, the sneaking was a thrill at first, but long-term… should’ve seen it’d spell trouble. But hey, wasn’t eyeing long-term then.”“All’s good if it ends good, bud,” Roan chimed.“We’re keeping it hush-hush still, though,” Kingsley added, eyeing his cufflink box for the right pair. “Smart to let months pass between my exit and us going
