Theo’s mouth claimed Nathan’s in a kiss that was nothing like the careful ones under the bridge. This one was rougher, more aggressive, full of the frustration and want that had been building for days. Theo’s hand left the door and gripped the side of Nathan’s neck, tilting his head to deepen the kiss. Nathan’s back pressed hard against the cool wood as Theo’s body pinned him there. The heat of Theo’s chest soaked through the thin fabric of their shirts. The taste of coffee and something warmer filled Nathan’s mouth. The solid weight of Theo left no room to pretend anymore.Nathan’s hands rose almost without any thought. One tangled in the front of Theo’s shirt, feeling the soft cotton and the hard muscle beneath. The other hand slid up to the back of Theo’s neck, fingers brushing short hair that felt warm from the night air. He pulled Theo closer instead of pushing him away. The kiss turned hungrier. Theo’s tongue swept into his mouth, slick and insistent, and Nathan answered with a

Nathan’s body still trembled with aftershocks. The last of his resistance had broken completely, leaving only the heat and the man under him. He rested his forehead against Theo’s for a second, eyes closed, feeling the steady rise and fall of Theo’s chest. Theo’s hands stroked slow paths up and down his bare back, warm and grounding.“You okay?” Theo asked quietly, voice still rough.Nathan gave a short, breathless laugh. “Yeah. More than okay. That was…”“A lot,” Theo finished his words for him. His thumb brushed the edge of Nathan’s jaw. “In the best way.”Nathan shifted, settling more comfortably against Theo’s side on the narrow couch. Their legs tangled. The soft fabric of the cushions felt cool against cooling skin. Outside, the night had gotten darker but none of them cared.Theo’s fingers traced idle circles on Nathan’s shoulder. “Stay. At least for tonight. The hotel can wait.”Nathan opened his eyes and looked at him. In the low lamp light Theo’s face looked softer, the usua

Nathan stroked Theo slowly, watching the way Theo’s eyes half-closed, the way his lips parted. The heat between them had not cooled. If anything, being caught had only made it burn hotter. Nathan leaned in and bit the side of Theo’s neck, just hard enough to leave a mark.Theo’s breath hitched. “Nate…”“I know.” Nathan kissed the same spot, softer this time. “I am right here.”Theo’s hands slid up Nathan’s bare back, to cup his neck, pulling him closer. The touch was warm, slightly damp with leftover sweat The living room still smelled of sex and clean sweat. The lamp light threw soft shadows across their skin. “Let’s head to the bedroom. Now. I want you in my bed, Nate.” Nathan did not argue. They stood together, bodies still pressed close, and moved down the short hallway. The wooden floor felt cool under their bare feet. The bedroom was dim, lit only by the soft glow of the streetlight filtering through the half-closed blinds. The air smelled faintly of clean sheets and Theo’s col

Donald Reed stood under the black umbrella and watched the rain hit the dark street. The contact car turned the corner and slowed under the broken streetlight, its engine still running. He kept his eyes on the rear door and waited until it stopped.“You’re late,” he said.The rear door opened and a young man stepped out into the rain without bothering to cover himself. Dark hair was stuck to his forehead. The gray hoodie he wore hung loose on his frame. He wiped water from his face with the back of one hand and looked Donald over from head to toe.“You’re the one they sent?” His voice stayed quiet but steady. “I thought the agency would pick someone older and who looked a little less like he had been awake for three days straight.”Donald opened the passenger door of his own car. “Get in the car. We do not have time to stand out here.”Justice Crowe slid into the seat without arguing further. Rain had already darkened the shoulders of his hoodie. Donald closed the door, walked around

Donald stood alone in the kitchen long after the guest-room door stayed half-open as Justice went in. The half-finished coffee had gone cold in his hand. The faint heat where Justice’s fingers had pressed the tape still lingered on his shoulder, warmer than it had any right to be. He set the mug down on the counter, walked over to the security panel, and checked every camera feed one more time. The hallway was empty. The stairwell was empty, and the outer doors remained locked. He told himself the rules were still held.They did not hold for long.By morning, sunlight light pushed weakly through the edges of the blackout curtains and turned the dark apartment a soft gray. Donald sat at the kitchen table with a fresh cup of coffee that had already gone cold. He had not slept more than an hour. Every small sound from the guest room pulled at his attention, the shift of sheets, the soft creak of the bed frame, the quiet pad of bare feet on the wood floor.The guest-room door opened.Just
