Liam’s lips tipped in a smile as he looked at Billy. “That’s good, though, excellent. So why are you nervous about it?”
Billy tapped the papers. Liam arched a brow but looked down. He sucked in a breath, and when he raised his head he looked so happy, Billy thought he could live just for smiles from Liam.
“You’ll be going to a branch of the community college in Fort Worth? You’re moving?”
Billy nodded before he cleared his throat to speak. “Yeah, I wanted… Well, I’d hoped maybe you would be okay with me being closer, and I don’t know where you live, but maybe it won’t be too far. Xavier’s got a real estate agent looking for a place for me—”
Liam whooped and the next thing Billy knew he was being lifted, spun around until his head span even after his feet landed back on the floor. It was a good thing Liam was holding him, or else Billy would have pin-balled off all the furniture and boxes in the bedroom.
“This branch of Fort Worth community college’s not far at all,” Liam was saying, once Billy’s senses had returned and the dizziness faded. “Probably less than half an hour from my place.” Liam looked down at him, a hopeful expression lighting his handsome face. It www.total-e-bound.com

made Billy feel breathless, light and tingly. “You could, you know, move in with me, if you wanted to. Just think about it,” Liam tacked on when Billy didn’t immediately answer.
Billy couldn’t, he was too astounded Liam had even made the offer. It made Billy’s eyes tear up and his bottom lip quiver in the most embarrassing way. Liam was going to think he was the biggest wuss
ever
.
“No pressure,” Liam said, but Billy didn’t miss the slight hurt to his tone. “I shouldn’t have rushed you. We can take this slower, however slow you want it.”
Billy didn’t want slower, not when it felt like he’d waited for this man all his life. Not when he knew Liam was the
only
man he’d ever want like this. Billy blinked away the tears and looked at Liam. He silently cursed himself for putting the insecure look on the Liam’s face. But he’d wipe it off right now.
“I don’t want slower, I want
you
,” Billy informed Liam. “It just sometimes surprises me all over again when I realise you still want
me
.” Liam opened his mouth in what Billy assumed would have been a protest, but Billy raised one finger, an unspoken request to be allowed to continue. Liam closed his mouth and nodded.
“I know you do want me. All of me, not just a fuck-toy.” Billy shook his head and sighed. “It’s more than I ever expected, more than I thought I deserved, but you’ve shown me I don’t have to be what everyone thinks I am. I know now something you taught me.
Other people don’t define me. Xavier has been trying to explain that very same thing to me for years now, but it took you believing in me for it to sink in.” He shrugged as he tried to puzzle out why he hadn’t believed it from Xav.. “I think because Xav is like a dad to me, you know, and I figured he felt obligated or whatever, or maybe, just like a rebellious kid probably thinks of a parent, I didn’t think he knew what he was talking about. But you, you’re an irresistible force, Liam.”
Billy trailed his gaze over Liam’s face, absorbing his inner beauty as well as his handsome features. “And you could have had me with a look. You could have fucked me or whatever then forgot about me, but you didn’t. And while you were gone, I had a lot of time to think about that, and knowing you’re a good man, a smart man, intuitive, even, I realised you saw something in me, or maybe the potential to be someone worthy of more than what I had, what I did. So, I kind of had to think about that, and about myself, and you—” Billy reached up and framed Liam’s face with his hands. “I thought about you, all the time.
Whatever it was you saw in me, Liam, I want to be. I want to be the man you think I can be.”

As Liam looked down at Billy, the warmth of Billy’s hands seeped into his skin and all he could think about was how much he’d come to love Billy in such a short time. It wasn’t an infatuation, wasn’t simply lust. Everything about Billy had called out to Liam from the first moment he’d seen the bubbly blond. But Billy had one thing wrong.
“It wasn’t because I saw something
in
you, Billy,” Liam struggled to clarify, “but I saw
you
. That was all it took. You don’t have to be a different man. You’ve always been a good man. You aren’t defined by hook-ups or whatever. You are an incredible, vibrant, beautiful person, and sexy as hell. The total package, I think, is the phrase I’ve heard used. I never stood a chance once I saw you bouncing on your toes, so…so full of life, you shone with it.”
Billy looked stunned at the confession. Liam hoped it was the good kind of stunned. He thought it was. He had more than enough faith in Billy for the both of them.
“Oh.” Billy nibbled his lower lip then frowned slightly. “I don’t know what to say to that, except—you’re the most amazing man I’ve ever met, and whether you think it’s necessary or not, there are some changes I want to make in my life, but I want you to be a part of it.”
There was more they’d need to discuss, but Liam’s pulse was heating up, Billy’s words opening a door on the want building inside him. There would be other things to discuss, but they didn’t need to hammer out everything tonight. “I will be. Now, take me to bed and have your way with me.”

It was a damned good thing they’d been naked to begin with, Liam figured, because Billy could move surprisingly quickly and he was a lot stronger than his thin frame suggested. Liam had barely got that last sentence out before he found himself pulled and pushed and splayed out on the bed with Billy straddling his middle.
Billy was all over him, stroking and squeezing, his blunt nails leaving little trails of fire behind. Liam’s back arched when those nails scratched over his chest, catching his nipple and sending lightning bolts of heat straight to his groin. Billy murmured something then bent and caught the hard tip between his teeth. A flick of tongue and the pinching pressure of a bite had Liam howling, clasping Billy’s head to hold him there.
Liam had always thought his nipples were pretty much a waste of skin, but he was quickly learning how wrong he’d been. Other lovers had tried to tease him with a lighter touch, soft brushes against his tits and feather-like sweeps of tongue, but Billy was going at it like Liam’s nipple was a delicious treat, working the flesh with teeth and tongue.
A hand smoothed up to his other nipple, and Liam found the sensual assault doubling, making his cock throb and his ass clench. He clenched his hands tighter in Billy’s hair, likely mashing Billy’s face against his chest, but Billy got the unspoken message. A bite bordering on too much, a twist to the other nipple, and Liam’s chest felt like it was on fire as hot spikes of pleasure shot out from his pecs. The sensations nearly pushed him right over the edge.
Pre-cum was leaking copiously from his slit as he thrust his hips, his cock rubbing against the swells of Billy’s ass.
Billy switched off, hand and mouth swapping nipples, and Liam thought he was going to lose his damned mind. Desire coiled in his belly, swirling, spinning and flying throughout his body. He humped air, Billy’s bottom, whatever he could, with frantic jerks of his hips, moaning as pain and pleasure combined in the most mind-boggling manner. Liam had never felt anything like it, hadn’t ever thought he’d like a little pain mixed in with his pleasure, but something happened earlier, in the parking lot. When Billy had dug in his fingertips, had scraped and grabbed bruisingly hard, it was like a firework stand had exploded inside Liam.

There was heat and fire and brilliant colours, and so fucking much ecstasy he’d thought he might die from it.
And now it was happening again, even more intensely, and he couldn’t do anything but chase after it. A small part of him was shocked, or maybe surprised,
whatever
, to find out he liked these small zings of pain. But he did, there was no denying it, not when he was moaning and grunting and urging Billy on. Or maybe just not wanting him to stop. Liam didn’t think he’d enjoy anything seriously painful, and he trusted Billy not to cross that line.
Billy caught Liam’s nipple between his teeth and pulled back, stretching the firm flesh.
His gaze shot up to Liam’s, a smidge of uncertainty, a silent question—
is this all right?
Liam’s answer was a frantic jutting of his hips as he grabbed Billy’s, trying to get more friction on his cock. Billy smiled around Liam’s tit then released it, sending tingling spikes through Liam’s breast.
“Fuck, B-Billy,” Liam pleaded, needing more of everything, more of Billy. Billy shot up his body, bringing their lips together in a grinding kiss. Before Liam could so much as process the move, Billy was scooting down and settling himself between Liam’s thighs. He pressed the back of them, pushing until Liam’s knees were by his ears and his ass was tipped up, then Billy dropped down and licked from the top of Liam’s balls to his hole.
Liam’s breath rattled from his lungs as he gripped behind his knees. It flashed through his head, how slutty he must look, legs up and splayed, ass open, but he shoved the thought aside. He wasn’t a slut, he was Billy’s, plain and simple, and he’d do whatever Billy wanted.
And besides, it felt damned good!
Billy’s tongue swirled around his opening, flicking the wrinkled skin. Then he prised Liam’s cheeks apart and burrowed his face in Liam’s crease. His hot, wet mouth sealed around Liam’s entrance, sucking so hard Liam’s eyes rolled back. Billy used his quick, agile tongue to spear into him, then began fucking Liam with short rapid thrusts. Liam howled and let go of one leg, fisting the base of his cock as he felt his balls pull tight. He squeezed so hard it hurt, but he didn’t want to come until Billy’s fat cock was inside him.
“Billy, please, baby,” Liam huffed, his voice breaking as he tried to stave off his orgasm.
“I can’t—I need—
ahhh!
” The gentle press of teeth shorted out Liam’s ability to form words, coherent ones, anyway. Something else pressed into him, something firm and longer, a finger or maybe a thumb, Liam didn’t know and didn’t care. He rocked his hips, seeking more, mindless as he sought the climax he’d denied himself. His hole was stretched wider, www.total-e-bound.com

breached by more fingers, once, twice, and just when Liam was fixing to let go of his cock and shout out his release, Billy sat up and slid his fingers free.
“Guuhh!” It wasn’t the ‘why the hell did you stop?’ Liam had meant it to be, but it was the best he could manage.
Billy crawled up his body, let his lips hover an inch from Liam’s. “Want to be in you when you come,” Billy explained, dipping lower then pulling back. He sprawled half on Liam and reached for the drawer of his nightstand. Billy plucked out a condom and a tube of lube, then pushed himself up to his knees with one arm.
Liam shivered, aching for this man to claim him. He ran his hands up Billy’s smooth thighs, his fingers brushing his fuzzy balls. Billy hissed and tore open the condom package, sheathing himself in seconds. He opened the lube and poured out a glob, dripping some of the cool liquid onto Liam’s belly.
“Whoops, sorry,” Billy murmured, giving him a tight smile. He swiped his fingers through the viscous goo then slicked up his shaft.
Liam opened his mouth to tell Billy it was all good, just get in already, but Billy scooted back and pressed a finger to Liam’s hole. An embarrassing whine slipped past Liam’s lips, but Billy’s pleased look warmed Liam more than the flush crawling over his skin. Billy pressed a finger in, curving it slightly. Electric shocks sparked throughout Liam’s groin as his gland was brushed over.
“Oh yeah, look at you,” Billy purred.
Liam couldn’t see anything through the lusty haze clouding his vision. All he could do was feel as his hole was stretched, worked by Billy’s fingers, spread wider with each thrust.
Billy’s cock was thick; thicker than the digits pressing into him. Liam ached to feel it splitting him open, filling him thrust after thrust.
He didn’t know if he begged or did something else to make his desperation clear, but Billy finally withdrew his fingers. He gripped Liam’s hips, nudging his bent legs under Liam’s butt, then there was the fissure of pressure, the blunt, broad crown of Billy’s cock pushing against Liam’s stretched opening.
Liam blinked away the haze, wanting to see Billy as he pushed into him. Billy’s head was tipped down, his gaze locked on the slow joining of their bodies. Billy rocked forward and Liam gasped as the tip of Billy’s cock penetrated him. Another thrust, and Liam bit back a hiss as Billy’s fat crown stretched his opening wide. It burned, a dull ache that spread out www.total-e-bound.com

from his ass as Billy pressed forward. Liam hissed, his ring aching, but he shook his head when Billy looked at him.
“More,” he managed to grunt out. He didn’t want Billy to stop now, not when he was so close to knowing what it felt like to have Billy inside him. Besides, Liam had wanted that thick cock, had wanted to give himself to Billy this way since he’d first seen him. He could handle a little pain.
Billy looked uncertain, sucking his plump lower lip in between his teeth. It popped back out, dented with teeth marks. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
Liam narrowed his eyes at his lover and pulled on his hips, managing to get another bit of Billy’s cock inside him. “Don’t stop, please,” he rasped, “I’ll beg, I’ll… I’ll do whatever, just please don’t stop.” He couldn’t bear to be denied this exquisite experience, was afraid he’d cry if Billy pulled out. “Please, Billy, please,” Liam repeated, until something shifted in Billy’s expression, not an absence of concern, but perhaps a lessening of it.
