It was not something I wanted to do, but if we were to keep this going between us, I wanted to make sure it grew into something strong. I needed to give us both time to get back into our normal everyday lives. Besides, West was to start his new job at the end of next week. I tensed at the thought of him leaving my side or the safety of the house, but I reminded myself he would be surrounded by men I trusted.

West nuzzled into me. His head tipped back, and he lazily blinked up at me. My heart caught on a beat when he smiled.

“Morning.”

“Good morning, moya lyubov’.” I dipped and kissed his forehead. I was free to kiss him when it came over me to do so. Each time I enjoyed the cute smile he gave me, along with the blush.

Mostly when I first did it in front of people. West had been sitting in the living room when I got back after having to step out for a moment. I couldn’t even remember what for, but all I could think about was getting back to West. I had walked through the front door to see him surrounded by Kylo, Lucas, and Lucas’s parents. I greeted them but kept my gaze on West as I approached. I had planted my hands on the armrests and leaned in to take his lips in a hot kiss.

“Oh my” had come from Mrs. Storey.

I rested my forehead against his and said, “Moya lyubov’.”

“Um… hi.”

I had grinned and stood. “Would anyone like a coffee?”

After taking their orders, I had moved off but heard. “Herb, why don’t you greet me like that?”

“Fuck me, now I won’t hear the end of this.”

West was getting used to me kissing him in front of people, since it seemed I could not help myself when it came to him. Now he expected it when I was around, and every night since the first. Though, it was getting harder and harder keeping my hands to myself. Especially since we both became aroused from being alone and having each other’s mouths.

“Do you have to leave today?”

“Da. I have a few things that need my attention.” He nodded against me. “I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner tonight?”

He buried his face into my chest and nodded.

“Words, moya lyubov’. I need them.”

He kissed my chest, and my dick perked up more than it already was from having him in my arms.

“Yeah, dinner out sounds good.”

“Excellent. I will organize a place and pick you up at six.”

“Sounds good.”

“Would you be interested in staying at my home after?”

He paused after a little yip sounded from his lips. I pinched his chin and gently dragged his head up to see his cheeks burning for me.

“Yes?” I asked.

“Da,” he replied.
