Chapter 8

The wick had burned dangerously low, ribbons of gold streaking across the surface of the kerosene. All Levi had to do to prevent it from flickering away and plunging them into darkness was reach out and turn it up, but Seb spooned behind him, a possessive arm around his waist, his chin poking into Levi’s shoulder as he nuzzled into his neck. Levi didn’t want to break the spell. Too much had gone right tonight, and there was no telling when they’d go this right again.

“How come you get your own tent?” His words were slightly slurred, an effect of the sleepiness that had nearly won over his flesh after his release, but he was forcing his eyes to stay open as long as possible, no matter how tired he was. Every minute of this counted. He needed to be able to replay any part of it later. “Is it because you’re the barker?”

Seb’s breath fluttered along Levi’s ear, lips so close Levi ached for the stronger contact. “That, and being around as long as I’ve been. Seniority plays a big part.”

“And how long is that?”

“Little more than nine years.”

That was almost half Levi’s lifetime. He wasn’t sure if he should feel really old, or really young. “That’s a long time,” he whispered.

“Hey.” Seb tightened his arm and jostled him a moment. “Don’t go feeling sorry for me now.”

“I’m not.”

“Because the way I see it, that’s time well spent. Look at where it brought me.”

“Brookburn’s no prize.”

“I wasn’t talking about Brookburn.”

A pleased flush crept over Levi’s already heated skin. The things Seb kept saying to him seemed unreal, figments of an imagination gone mad. As much as Levi wanted to believe them, there’d been enough truth thrown around before here and now for him to know otherwise. Seb told people what they wanted to hear. That was his gift. But maybe Levi could pretend the sentiments were genuine for as long as the real world was on the other side of the tent walls.

“I can’t even imagine all the places you’ve seen,” he mused, changing the subject. Rather than put Seb on the spot, or worse, have him think Levi was considering running away with them again, he added, “Which one’s your favorite? And you can’t count here. That’s cheating.”

Seb chuckled, the sound vibrating into his shoulder. “Only people who cheat are the ones who think they can’t win all on their own.”

“Fancy talk coming from a carnie.” But he said it playfully, and poked the back of Seb’s hand. “And you’re not answering the question.”

“Favorite place I’ve ever been…”

Seb fell quiet, and Levi stilled. He wanted to know every tick and tock of Seb’s body as he contemplated his response. The soft rush of his breaths. The faint dampness where the tip of his hard cock touched the small of Levi’s back. The tangy sweat clinging to his pores. So lost in the sensory input, he’d almost forgotten what it was he’d asked by the time Seb began speaking again.
