Lee started thrusting back up against him. “I know I’m not alone feeling this way.”
     
    “No,” Lee said, his head falling back. Michael dove onto the offered neck, nibbling and sucking at the tendons of Lee’s throat as he continued to drive them toward release. It tore out of him at the hoarse shout that escaped Lee’s mouth along with the rush of wet heat between their bodies.
     
    Lee collapsed beneath him, all tension gone from his body as the aftershocks continued to rack Michael.
     
    Michael lifted his head finally. “I think a shower is in order, and then maybe some breakfast. Will you stay?”
     
    “I can’t go anywhere without a shower,” Lee said with a laugh.
     
    “That didn’t answer my question,” Michael pressed. “Will you stay?”
     
    Lee smiled, his expression shyer than any Michael had ever seen on his face. “Yes.”
     

     

     
    “ Would you like to come out to my place this weekend?” Lee asked as he and Michael chatted on the phone on Wednesday night. They had spent all of Sunday together as well, although they hadn’t, somewhat to Michael’s surprise, ended up in bed. Instead they’d finished their movie marathon, played basketball, and caught up on the work Michael needed to do in his yard. Michael had tried to argue that was hardly a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, but Lee had made it fun, laughing and teasing and tackling Michael at random intervals for light, playful kisses that could easily have turned more passionate and yet didn’t.
     
    Since then, they’d talked on the phone every night but hadn’t managed to see each other again.
     
    “For the whole weekend?” Michael asked hopefully.
     
    “I hope so,” Lee teased. “I spent all of last weekend at your house.”
     
    “I’ll pack a bag,” Michael said, smiling at the simple thought of another weekend with Lee. “Anything in particular I should bring?”
     
    “Comfortable clothes,” Lee said. “I wasn’t planning on anything fancy. I thought we’d meet somewhere for dinner on Friday and then you could follow me home. I live out of town a bit, and it’s sometimes hard for people to find it.”
     
    “So where do you want to meet?”
     
    “There’s a new sushi place I’ve been wanting to try,” Lee said. “Feeling adventurous?”
     
    Michael hesitated for a moment, not entirely sure how he felt about sushi, but Lee hadn’t led him wrong yet. “Sure, I’ll give it a try. I’ve never had sushi before.”
     
    “If it’s good, there’s nothing to compare,” Lee said. “If it isn’t good, it’s pretty much awful. If it isn’t good, we’ll try somewhere else, and I’ll take you to Miyako’s for good sushi another time.”
     
    Lee gave Michael the address, which he noted in his phone so he wouldn’t lose it. They talked for awhile longer before it got late enough that Michael had to hang up so he could go to work the next day.
     

     

     
    On Friday , Michael arrived at the restaurant early, but he’d been afraid he wouldn’t be able to get home from work and to the restaurant on time, so he’d taken his bag with him that morning. That had put him at the restaurant a good thirty minutes before he was supposed to meet Lee. He took a seat at the bar and ordered a beer to sip while he waited. His stomach was tied up in knots, despite his internal lectures to the contrary, but it seemed even their two dates had not completely eased his nerves about Lee’s profession. Other than that first impression, nothing Lee had said or done had given Michael any reason to worry about Lee’s inclinations. Hell, Lee had given in completely to Michael last weekend on the couch, lying beneath him, not passively, but without any attempt to take control of their interactions. It seemed almost too good to be true.
     
    Michael decided that was what was bothering him, even more than the leatherwork Lee did. He couldn’t be this wonderful all the time, could he? There had to be some
