Matteo’s grin made Luke’s heart somersault in his chest. “You’re the only one I want. Exclusive is perfect with me.”
Luke leaned in and took Matteo’s lips in a slow, deep kiss, sealing the agreement. He had a boyfriend. A hot, sweet, funny boyfriend whose cock made his brain melt.
Chapter 23
Suddenly, Everything Goes Wrong
LUKE
Sex was the best.
Luke was pretty sure his goofy grin was permanently stuck on his mouth, and he didn’t give a rat’s ass.
After snuggling and kissing with Matteo for a while, he’d climbed onto his boyfriend’s fat cock and ridden him into oblivion a second time.
The bed was small, and it was a somewhat cramped fit, but he couldn’t help hoping that Matteo might stay the night. Unfortunately, he had an early meeting with a study group on Sunday, and it was easier to make the trek from his dorm. However, Matteo had promised to spend the night when they took their Thanksgiving break. Without classes, he’d be able to stay several nights in a row.
Of course, that might be tricky with the demons. He’d have to sit down with his roommates and have a long talk about it. He didn’t want to make their lives more difficult, even if they were big supporters of his new relationship with Matteo.
They both showered, though separately, because Luke’s legs were already trembling and his hole needed a break. It was almost one in the morning as they dressed and headed back out into the cold.
“I can’t believe you’re walking with me.” Matteo chuckled as Luke locked the door behind them. A bitterly cold wind swept along the block, wrapping around them.
Luke hissed and pulled his knit hat lower over his ears. He tugged on his gloves while descending the stairs. “There’s no way I was going to let you walk alone.”
“Well, you’re not walking me all the way to the dorm. That’s too far. Plus, you’ll have to return to the house. You’ll freeze!”
“It’ll be fine.”
Matteo grunted, and it sounded like he didn’t agree with Luke, but he was going to let it go.
“How about I just walk you to the edge of campus?” Luke suggested.
His new boyfriend hesitated for a moment before caving. “Okay.”
It wasn’t a dangerous neighborhood. The streets appeared empty at this hour. The frigid temperatures had chased everyone inside. They’d already walked two blocks and hadn’t passed a car on the street yet.
Despite the quietness of the night, Luke couldn’t shake the dark feeling that gnawed at him. Like a premonition that he couldn’t quite see. Something was going to happen, and it wasn’t good. He’d wanted to keep Matteo at his house, to tell him to skip the study group, but he couldn’t do that. Not without a good reason.
But now that he was walking next to Matteo in the frigid cold, he couldn’t help feeling a little silly. Their town was safe, and it was rare for any crimes to be reported on campus. The most common problems were underage drinking and noise complaints.
“Sooooo…” Matteo drawled, bumping his shoulder into Luke’s.
“Huh?”
“What do you want to do on our second date? We did the very clichéd but always successful dinner and movie.”
Luke huffed a laugh and bumped Matteo’s shoulder. “What movie? We weren’t even fifteen minutes into the movie when we scurried out of there. And that was all your fault, I might add.”
Matteo snickered and looped his arm through Luke’s. “Are you mad?” He jutted out his bottom lip and fluttered his eyelashes in the fakest pouty expression Luke had ever seen. “I couldn’t help myself. You were so sexy in your suit, and I thought if I could suck your dick—”
He didn’t get the chance to finish. Luke burst out laughing so hard that he nearly lost his balance. He stumbled to his right, leaning hard on Matteo as he regained his stability.
“You’re ridiculous!” Luke crowed.
“Maybe, but I’m also serious. You’ve got this adorable, nerdy, sexy vibe going, and I’ve wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I was afraid I wasn’t smart enough.”
“What? That’s crazy!”
“It’s true. Everyone I asked about you said that you’re this insanely smart grad student who spends all his time working or studying. I was scared to death to open my mouth and prove what an idiot I am. Then you’d never talk to me.”
Luke snatched up Matteo’s gloved hand and pressed a kiss to the knuckles. “You are not an idiot, and I don’t ever want you to say that about yourself again. Besides, as soon as I saw you, I was sure you were way out of my league and wouldn’t even look in my direction.”
“Nope. Nope. You’re adorable. That league stuff is crap.”
Luke ducked his chin and smiled behind his scarf, Matteo’s words warming him better than any layer of clothing could. To think he’d been worried that Luke wouldn’t think he was smart enough. That was crazy!
