Chapter 3

Chris showed up at Greg and Liam’s place a little before seven. Greg pulled him into a mind-blowing kiss, stealing his breath and making him hard as stone. When the kiss ended, he had to fight to stay standing. Then Greg stepped away, and he saw Liam looking like a lost little puppy.

“Hi, Liam.”

Liam sucked in a breath, tears streaking down his cheeks. Chris’s heart broke, and he moved to be closer to Liam, but Greg stopped him. Anger and pain flashed in Chris, and Liam dropped to his knees, tears flowing freely.

“No, he needs to learn.”

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you angry. I swear, I won’t ever try to hurt myself again. This is so much more painful than anything else ever has been.”

“I’m glad it’s painful. I hope next time you remember that you can’t hurt yourself. Liam, please help Chris take his bags to his room, but you’re not allowed to touch him.”

Chris had a difficult time keeping his hands off Liam. He understood why Greg was being so harsh. Liam needed to understand his boundaries and learn to be healthy even when there was no one around to help. They stowed his suitcase at the end of the guest bed. Liam stood off to the side, his eyes on the ground.

“Liam,” Chris whispered.

His head snapped up, his gaze meeting Chris’s. “Yes?”

“You’re doing good. I’m proud of you.”

“Thank you.”

He wanted to touch Liam, but he would follow Greg’s request and stay away from him. They both walked back into the den, the tension between them so thick Chris wondered if it were visible.

Greg stood with his arms crossed over his chest, his legs about shoulder width apart. “Chris, what did you eat tonight?”

“I haven’t had time to eat.” Guilt filled him.

“Liam, fix him a plate.”

“Yes, Sir.” Liam moved to the kitchen, and Chris followed.

He sat at the table, waiting for Liam to bring him his meal. When Liam set the plate down in front of him, they both stared at each other. The desire to touch was strong, but Greg cleared his throat. Liam straightened and moved to clean up the countertop. Greg came to sit beside Chris, resting his hand on Chris’s knee.

Chris ate slowly, savoring every bite. When Liam was done with clean up, he moved to stand beside Greg. Chris wondered if Greg was ignoring Liam on purpose. He felt bad for the man, but the seriousness of his behavior kept Chris from saying anything.

When he was done eating, Greg glanced at Liam. “You may clean up Chris’s plate now.”

Liam’s eyes went bright, and he moved in close enough to pick up Chris’s things but not close enough to touch him. Greg slid his hand up Chris’s thigh to his crotch.

“Take off your clothes, Chris.”

Being with Greg was different. Before, in every relationship, he and his partner bumbled around. Often, they would miscommunicate and not express their desires. He liked how Greg told him what he wanted.

Chris stripped off his shirt, then stood, unbuttoning his jeans.
