Chapter Sixteen
Krish sucked in a breath when he saw Luke stood by the open door. Fuck, he looked gorgeous. Wearing a black shirt and tight black jeans, the colours highlighted his pale skin, bright blue eyes and curly blond hair.
Krish swallowed hard and his dick hardened in his jeans, begging to be released. At that moment, the last thing he wanted to do was go out for a meal. He wanted to take Luke back to his bedroom and have him fuck him as hard as he could. He could feel his hole twitch with anticipation of Luke's dick filling it.
Luke's smile widened like he knew what Krish was thinking. Krish eventually coughed, trying to clear his throat. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and took a step back. "Are you ready to go?"
"Almost," Luke answered. He held the door open and turned sideways, nodding his head. "Do you want to come in?"
Krish nodded and stepped in, waiting for Luke close the door behind him.
"It's just this way," Luke led him into the living room where he found two men sat on the sofa close together.
One blond-haired man frowned when he saw him, looking him up and down, and the other with dark hair smiled up at him. "Hi, you must be Krish. I'm Seb, and this is my partner, Tom." Seb glanced over at Tom and saw the expression on his face. "Ignore him. He's like this when he first meets people he doesn't know."
"Yeah, my nickname for him is Dad," Luke smirked at Tom, who now crossed his arms over his chest sticking his bottom lip out.
"I just want to make sure you're okay."
"And I'm grateful for it." Glancing at Krish, Luke said, "Just give me a minute to grab my wallet, and we'll be ready to go."
"Okay."
Luke left the room, and Krish stood there. He could see both Tom and Seb glancing at him from the corner of his eye. He shoved his hands in his jean pockets. "So, what do you two do?" Could he think of a worse question to ask?
Seb chuckled. "We're not that bad. Sit down and relax." Once Krish sat down, Seb asked, "Where you two going tonight? Anywhere special?"
Krish shrugged. "I thought we'd go out for a meal and then we can go for a drink after."
Tom leaned forward. "So, how long have you known Luke for?"
Seb glanced over his shoulder, frowning at Tom. "Luke's right with the nickname, Dad."
Tom shrugged. "So? I just want to make sure he's not out to hurt Luke."
"I'm not." Krish sighed, eyes dancing around the room. He'd only just met these two and had a feeling that he had to be open with them both. "I like Luke. I have for some time, but he was in a relationship, and I didn't think he liked men, so I never thought of asking."
Tom stared intently for several seconds before finally nodding. "Just as long as you know that if you hurt Luke, I will find you, and I will damage you."
"For fuck's sake, Tom! You can't go around threatening people."
Tom sat back, folding arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow at Seb. "Can't I?"
"He's not even been in the house five minutes!"
Krish suddenly found the situation funny. It was obvious both of them cared deeply about Luke, and both knew what Luke had experienced on the streets. It was nice, if unwarranted. "I promise not to hurt Luke. I waited until I was sure and then I asked him out. And let's be honest, he's had an awful time recently."
"That bitch," Tom muttered darkly, a frown on his face. "If I ever see her, I'm gonna give her piece of my mind. I've never wanted to smack a woman before, but trust me, I've come close to it several times with her."
"Yeah, she's not exactly been nice, has she?" Seb said, glancing over at Krish.
"Yes, I've witnessed it a couple of times now. I can't understand why she just won't move on? She appears to be seeing someone else, but for some reason, she just won't leave Luke alone." Krish shrugged. He thought about the situation a few times, and even now he still couldn't understand why Sarah appeared to be hounding Luke. Following him to places she would never normally go. Maybe now he'd cut down all his social media interaction, that was the only way she could get to him.
"She's a bitch," Tom muttered.
At that moment, Luke entered the room, and Krish felt his heart pound in his chest. He looked him up and down, sweat breaking out over his skin, and he swallowed hard. His dick, which hadn't really gone down, swelled back up and was rock solid in his jeans, rubbing painfully against the zip.
What Krish wanted to do was to ravish every inch of Luke's body and then lie down and watch and feel as Luke took ownership of his.
Standing, Krish attempted to discreetly move his dick into a more comfortable position. Glancing over at Tom and Seb, he saw Tom smirk at him.
Feeling his face flush, Krish smiled at both Tom and Seb. "It was nice to meet you."
Seb laughed, standing up, holding his hand out. "Are you sure about that?"
Krish shook his hand. "I've had worse."
Seb laughed again. "I'm sure you have." Releasing Krish's hand, Seb said, "Have a good night and try the Italian down the road if you haven't already booked in somewhere."
"We'll try it. I'll see you both later." Luke grabbed Krish's hand and led him from the living room.
As they left, Krish heard Tom shout, "I hope you have a condom and lube!"
Krish chuckled as Luke groaned. "I'm so sorry. It's like meeting the parents!"
"They care, and that's what counts. Take me to this Italian then."
Luke's answering smile was worth the semi-interrogation and threats Krish had faced.
❊❊❊
The Italian was busy, and they had to wait for a table to become free. They sat at the bar with a glass of wine and talked about the people on the course. Krish found Luke to be insightful, sensitive, and caring. He didn't have many friends, but the friends he did have, he'd formed close relationships. Jack and Toby seem to be his closest friends on the course. Two people who he spent most of his time with. From his description, Toby seemed more laid-back. Jack was more in your face. Luke had also told him that Jack was attracted to Otis, and Krish knew who Otis was and had to agree. Otis was very attractive. And he had seen Otis looking at someone, and now that he knew who that someone was, he smiled to himself. Krish was under no illusions that if Jack did ask Otis out, the answer would be yes. The looks Krish had seen Otis give Jack. Wow, hot.
When the waitress came over and advised them that their table was free, both picked up their glasses of wine and followed her. There were a couple of glances thrown their way, but on the whole, most people ignored the fact that two men had come to a restaurant for a meal together. Times were changing, and Krish was glad.
Maybe even a few years ago, two men having a meal together would have been met with hostility in certain areas, but now things were different.
They both sat and ordered another glass of wine while Krish picked up the menus and passed one to Luke before glancing over his own. It had been a long time since Krish had asked a man out on the date.
He dropped the menu on the table and wiped his suddenly clammy hands on his jeans. His stomach rolled, and he took a couple of deep breaths, trying to calm himself. He wanted the night to go well. He liked Luke and enjoyed spending time with him. When they weren't together, Krish found himself thinking of Luke and looking forward to when he could see him again. Luke dominated his thoughts, and at times, Krish had found it difficult to turn attention to something else. He'd lost count of the number of times he'd come fantasising about Luke and what Luke would do to his body. Krish shook his head slightly.
They both ordered, spaghetti Bolognaise for Luke and the calzone for Krish. The time passed quickly, conversation flowing easily between them. The heated gazes were hard on Krish. He licked his lips, watching Luke's eyes drop to them for a moment before they flashed back up to his. His pupils were so dilated, the lust evident in his gaze. The flush across his pale skin highlighted his sharp cheekbones, and Krish struggled to breathe.
Even though he was enjoying their meal together, he wanted nothing more than to be back to his bedroom with Luke and let Luke do whatever he wanted to his body.
Every one of his previous partners had assumed that Krish was the top. He was tall and broad and was in control, and that naturally led them to that assumption. Krish only wanted to bottom. To have someone take control of him, to do with them what they wanted. To own him. He wanted to feel someone pounding into him, holding him down.
The fact that Luke was a top was everything Krish wanted. The man was gorgeous, intelligent and funny. Krish had no problem handing control of his body over to Luke. He wanted Luke to have control, needed Luke to have control.
He reached for his glass of wine and paused, noting his handshake. He clenched it into a fist, breathing deeply, and closed his eyes.
His eyes shot open when he felt Luke's foot rub against his calf and his gaze snapped to Luke's.
Luke was biting his lip, messing with the cutlery on his empty plate. "Are you ready to go?"
Krish swallowed hard, nodding quickly. Oh yeah, he was so ready to go.
They both looked around until he saw the waitress and Krish waved her over. He quickly paid for their meal, and within a few minutes, they were leaving the restaurant.
Krish had only had a couple of glasses of wine, and even though he was fairly certain he wouldn't be over the drink-drive limit, he didn't want to take that chance, especially if Luke was in the car with him. He phoned for a taxi and was dismayed when the woman answering advised him that it was a forty-five-minute wait. He hung up and looked over at Luke.
"It's a forty-five-minute wait for a taxi."
"Are you over the limit?"
"No. I've only had two glasses of wine so I should be fine."
"So, why can't we go home in your car?"
Luke frowned, tilting his head as he glanced at Krish.
Krish shrugged. "Because you're going to be in my car."
Luke's face broke out into a wide grin. "Taking care of me already?"
Krish glanced down, feeling his face flush. He pushed his hands into his pockets and rocked on his feet. He glanced sideways at Luke, seeing the smile still on his face, and he shrugged.
"It's nice, but I'd prefer you to drive." Krish looked up, raising his eyebrow. Luke stepped up close to him and placed his hand on his chest. Krish glanced down at his hand then back at Luke's face. "I want to go to yours. The sooner we get there, the better."
Krish swallowed. Luke's lips were open, and he could feel small puffs of air on his chin. He stared into Luke's beautiful blue eyes and was held by them. Never before had Krish been so affected by someone.
The hand on his chest gripped his shirt and pulled him forward. He dropped his head as Luke's inched up and their lips met briefly.
As Luke leaned back, he whispered, "Yours?"
Krish nodded quickly. "Yeah."
