“You would be upset about the plant.”

“Of course. It’s a living thing.”

Seth picked up the broken pottery, and Liam held the bag open. Seth came close to throw it away, leaning over the bag to kiss Liam.

“What was that for?”

“Because you’re fucking cute.”

“I am not cute.”

“Oh, you are.”

They worked quietly then, filling up four more trash bags. They moved into the kitchen, where all the dishes had been smashed into the floor.

“I’ll get a broom,” Liam said.

But Seth backed him into the cabinets.

“What?” Liam asked.

“I need another kiss.” Seth rested against his body, muscles melding to Liam’s bigger frame. “A longer one.”

Liam clasped his cheeks and brought their mouths together. He sank into the kiss, loving the slide of Seth’s tongue along his. The kiss went on and on, and it didn’t take long for Liam to get hard. He gently thrust his hips into Seth’s.

Seth pulled away slightly and pressed his forehead to Liam’s chin. “You know this is not just casual sex, don’t you?”

“No, it’s not. What are you thinking it is?”

“A relationship. A real one. One I want to explore.”

Liam could feel his smile grow a little lopsided. “I’m twenty years older than you. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. You need to find someone young—like you.”

“The age difference doesn’t matter to me at all, and I don’t want someone my age. I want to see what we could be together.”

Liam’s heart started beating faster. “But I have this shop, and you plan to go back to Connecticut.”

Seth shrugged. “Not anytime soon. I’ve got a really good life in Cincy, and it’s even better with you in it. I’m not proposing marriage. There’s something between us. Something that feels pretty damn strong, and I want to experience it a lot more. You have to admit it’s hot.”

“Scorching.” Liam grinned. “Sex is definitely not a problem for us.”

“It’s the best sex I’ve had, and I want a lot more of it. But that’s not all there is. I want—need to spend more time with you. I need to lounge on the couch with you and hear about your day. I want to discuss dinner options and watch you talk to your plants. I need to wake up to your smile. What do you say? We stick together awhile and see what happens? I care a lot about you, Liam.”

Liam chewed on his lower lip and stared at Seth. “I was in a long-term relationship with a younger man before.”

“I figured as much. It went bad.”

“I told myself I’d never do it again.” He paused and smiled at Seth. “But you’re nothing like Ford. Not in any way.”

Seth kissed him softly. “So, we gonna do this thing? Exclusive. You and me?”

Nodding, Liam wrapped his arms around Seth and held him close. Liam wanted to tell him he loved him, but it felt too soon for that. But it was there, the love, like an unfurling flower in his chest. He knew it would only grow.

Was he scared? Yeah, he was.

But excitement thrummed through him, stronger than the fear.

Another chance to build something with a person he loved? He couldn’t wait.

Seth grinned up at him and in the next moment, they were kissing again. Heat shot through Liam’s body, and he turned and pressed Seth into the refrigerator. He ran his hand along Seth’s chest and reached the fly of his jeans. He quickly undid it and reached inside to wrap his fingers around Seth’s cock.

Groaning, Seth thrust up into his hand. He stroked him but quickly grew frustrated with the pants in his way. He yanked them down to Seth’s thighs, revealing the man’s beautiful dick. He would have taken him into his mouth then, but between the broken dishes on the floor and his dirty hands, he figured he’d just get him off like this. Seth was panting and watching him to see what he’d do next. Liam grinned at Seth and spit into his hand, causing the man to groan again. He wrapped his wet palm around him and began a steady, strong stroke.

“You’re going to need a shower after I’m done with you.”

“We both will, because I’m going to shoot all over you. Take off your shirt. Let me see that gorgeous chest.”

Liam yanked off his T-shirt and then spit in his hand again. He watched Seth as he jacked him, taking in the way his gaze ran over Liam’s chest and stomach. He felt gorgeous under that hot look.

“God, you’re so fucking big.” Seth ran his palms over Liam’s skin, caressing his nipples and curling his fingers in the hair over Liam’s pecs. “So strong and hot. I’ll never tire of looking at you.”

Sizzling lust shot through Liam, and he used his free hand to open his own jeans. He grabbed his cock and started to stroke in time with Seth, but Seth grinned and pulled his hand away. He raised it to his mouth and spit.
