at a more leisurely pace, while they both caught their breath. Nicky’s arms were still around Jonas’s neck, and as their heart rates slowed, they started kissing again, exploring each other’s mouths.
    “Mmm, that was the best fuck I’ve had in quite a while,” Nicky confessed. “How long before we can do it again?” Jonas chuckled. “I don’t know about me, but you’re still hard,” he offered coyly.
    Nicky blushed. “Are you asking me to top?”
    “Only if you want to,” Jonas conceded.
    “And you like to bottom? You like to take it up the arse?” Façade

    “So do you, I believe,” Jonas teased. He smiled and slowly pulled out of Nicky, holding on to the condom. He tied it in a knot and discarded it into the basket next to the bed before he got up.
    “Where are you going?” Nicky asked. Jonas looked back and saw Nicky stretched out on his back, one arm over his head, his legs open and inviting, and his still semi-hard cock resting on his belly.
    “I think that sticky boy there could do with being wiped a bit.”
    “Look in the bedside table,” Nicky suggested. “There’s more than condoms and lube in there.”
    “Baby wipes?” Jonas raised an eyebrow and then looked at Nicky.
    “I hate getting up after I wank,” Nicky replied matter-of-factly.
    “Now come here.” He held open his arms, and Jonas settled into them after wiping off Nicky’s belly.
    Jonas wasn’t used to the level of intimacy Nicky was offering.
    Despite his apprehension he couldn’t resist pulling the lean and smooth body closer, enjoying the smell and feel of the soft skin.
    “So you like to bottom, hey?” Nicky asked curiously.
    “Why is that such a big deal?” Jonas replied. “In my line of work it pays to be versatile.”
    “Which do you prefer?”
    Jonas thought Nicky looked like a schoolboy, eager to learn.
    “No preference. It depends on the partner. I wouldn’t dream of topping Chris.”
    “Would you dream of bottoming for me?” Nicky was smiling.
    “I would, but only if you wanted to.”
    His eyes narrowing, Nicky seemed to think about it. “Will you fuck me again later?”
    Jonas sighed. “I can’t stay, I’m sorry.”
    “Another client?”

    Jonas nodded, a little hesitantly. He didn’t want to leave, really, but he had another engagement that had been planned weeks in advance and he didn’t like to cancel. “I didn’t plan you, Nicky,” Jonas eventually said, and then he realized his words could be interpreted in many ways, all of them correct.
    “Yeah, right,” Nicky spat out, getting up from the bed and walking toward the bathroom.
    Remembering what happened last time, Jonas followed him to the ever-dark room. He was just in time to see Nicky light a cigarette and notice the façade was back. Jonas wasn’t surprised when Nicky didn’t offer him one as well.
    “Go! Leave!” He waved his hand at Jonas, telling him to get out.
    Jonas knew which battles he could win and which he couldn’t.
    This one was lost before it started, so after one more look at Nicky, he turned around and walked out.

    DRESSED in his suit once more he descended the stairs, not entirely surprised to find Tanna walking toward him.
    “You don’t have to wait up for me, you know,” Jonas said, trying to make her feel at ease.
    “It’s okay,” she replied softly. She placed a hand on Jonas’s arm. “Nicky was a lot nicer to live with after you left last time. You have no idea what that means to us.”
    “Well, I’m not sure it helped this time. I think he’s a little upset with me.”
    “Because you need to leave?” She looked despondent.
    “Tanna, I’m sorry.”
    She kissed him on the cheek. “You probably don’t want to hear this, but he really likes you. He’s got a strange way of showing it, I know, but….” She inhaled deeply. “Very few people get to see Façade
