Chapter 13
KEVIN HAD magic hands; that was all there was to it.
Willy lay stretched out on the bed as Kevin worked the backs of his legs.
Willy wanted to ask him where he learned to do this, but the fact was that he didn’t have the energy, and he certainly didn’t want to break the moment between them.
He worried that he had sounded really whiny earlier, and he wished he could take back everything he’d said.
But at the moment, with Kevin’s glorious hands working the back of his leg and down his calf to his foot, he found himself gasping as tension released from his muscles.
“Sweetheart, you’ve been holding tension all over.
” Kevin continued the massage, moving to Willy’s other leg.
“And you need to release it.” He continued working down his leg and then his foot, sending a tingling sensation up Willy’s back.
Willy lay still as more and more tension left him.
For the first time in weeks, he didn’t feel as though he were being tied in knots.
They were coming undone, and the pressure and worry flowed out of him.
He had no idea how long this would last, but it felt damn good.
“That’s it,” Kevin whispered as he made long strokes up his legs and back before descending again, all the way to his feet. “Let’s roll over.”
“Okay,” Willy whispered and turned over. Kevin shifted to his shoulders and neck, working more tension out of them. “How…?”
“I took classes in massage therapy a few years ago. The guys at the station are always complaining about aches and tension. But once I finished the classes, I realized how uncomfortable it was to work on the guys, so my skills didn’t go anywhere… until now. I’m a little rusty, but….”
Willy released a deep breath and closed his eyes. He found he didn’t have the energy to talk, so he just let go of everything and lay quietly, letting Kevin’s incredible hands work their magic. Breathing deeply, he kept his eyes closed, concentrating only on where Kevin touched him.
After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and found himself looking into Kevin’s. He didn’t move as he drew closer, hands pausing on his chest. “You are so beautiful like this.” He drew even closer and then kissed him. Willy arched his back and returned the kiss, which quickly grew heated.
“We can’t do this,” Willy whispered as warmth and desire flooded through him. He had been holding himself at bay for days, and his control was definitely beginning to wane.
“Like I said, sweetheart, there are ways….” Kevin’s voice grew rough, and as he kissed Willy, his slick hand slid down his belly before his fingers closed around Willy’s cock.
Willy closed his eyes, letting the sensation wash over him. “Kevin,” he moaned softly before kissing him hard, bringing his arms up to hold him. He arched his back, shaking as the desire he’d held back came charging forward. “You don’t need to do this.”
“I do. I want you to know what I feel for you and that I care. You need to relax and let go of all the tension.” Kevin stroked harder, his fingers lightly bumping along the edge of his cockhead, driving Willy out of his mind.
It wasn’t long before his entire body felt like it was on fire.
His breathing grew ragged, and he gasped, his mouth hanging open.
He held himself under control for as long as he could, hanging on to Kevin for fear he was going to fly apart.
Then, as Kevin drew him to the edge, he stilled and held his breath as Kevin stroked him harder, slowing the speed but increasing the pressure until Willy could take it no longer and tumbled over the precipice of passion, gasping as he tried not to cry out, even though he wanted to scream his release from the roof.
Wrung out, Willy lay still on the bed, breathing deeply, too exhausted to think. “What did you do to me?” he asked and then smiled as Kevin kissed him lightly and then turned away, coughing from deep in his lungs. “What did you do?”
Kevin cleared his throat. “I couldn’t help myself. Things got a little out of hand….” He coughed again, this time less deeply, and Willy rolled onto his side to look at him. “It was worth it… so worth it.”
“You need to be more careful,” Willy told him before shifting off the towel and using it to wipe himself up. “I think that maybe we should shower before coming back to bed.” He was most definitely a mess, and he figured Kevin could use a wash as well. “We have to be quiet. So….”
“I don’t have the energy for a second round anyway.”
He took Kevin’s hand and led him to the bathroom. After starting the shower, he let the water warm and got under the spray. Kevin joined him, and Willy let the water sluice over both of them before pressing Kevin back and taking the soap from the dish. Now it was his turn to show Kevin how he felt.
WILLY SLEPT like a log and woke remembering no dreams at all, which was a relief. He was still relaxed as he rolled over and Kevin slipped his arms around him, spooning him. “The kids are still asleep, and there’s no need to get up yet.”
“I have a class at nine,” Willy said quietly and closed his eyes again. After all, who was he to slough off a few more minutes of quiet?
A soft knock and then jumping outside the door caught his attention. That could only mean one thing: April. He got out of bed and pulled on his robe before opening the door to his daughter and Benjamin standing in the hallway. “We hungry,” she said.
“Okay.” He took her hand and led her to her room, where he got her out of her nighttime Pull-Ups and then had her go potty before he dressed her. “Go play with your dolly, and I’ll get dressed and make you breakfast.” He had slept well but was still tired. “Where’s Grant?”
He peered in his son’s room and found him on the floor in his pajamas, playing with trucks. “Bekfas,” April said, and Grant raced out of the room, Elsa right behind him.
“Grant, go get dressed. I set out your clothes last night. Then you can come down to eat. Can you do that?”
“I can, I’m big.” He hurried back to his room, and Willy took a few minutes to dress before getting both kids to the kitchen, where he put some french toast sticks in the toaster. He also got out juice and made up plates for both of them.
Kevin joined them as he got the kids’ food and poured himself a mug of coffee. “Red just called. He says he needs to meet with us.”
“Can they come to my office at ten thirty? I have to get the kids to daycare, and I need to get to my class. I can’t be late.” Willy checked the time once more before making up the kids’ lunches and their school bags. Then he got them ready to go.
“They said they’ll meet us at your office,” Kevin followed up. They shared a kiss, and then Willy was off, hoping he could get the kids checked in quickly and get to his office with enough time to get the materials he had prepared.
Of course there was a line at drop-off, but he got both kids checked in and then raced to the college, grateful he found a parking spot quickly. He hurried to his office, grabbed his materials, and got to his classroom with five minutes to spare.
This was one of his favorite classes, and the students were always so energized. They asked a great many questions, and the class flew by. By the time he finished answering their questions after the lesson, he was nearly late.
“The police are outside your office with my nephew,” Evelyn told him as he entered the building. She must have been waiting for him. “What’s going on?”
“At this point I don’t know exactly, and I don’t have time to bring you up to date, but no one is in trouble… except the people who are.” God, that sounded weird even to him. “Kevin is fine. So am I and the kids.”
She narrowed her gaze. “You better let me know.”
He steeled his own in return. “You know the rule. No gossip.”
She snickered and rolled her eyes. “It’s too late for that. The police will have set everyone’s tongues wagging.”
“Then I’ll give them something to gossip about.” He turned and climbed the stairs, swishing his backside to and fro. From her laughter, he knew Evelyn got the message.
Willy turned the corner on the second floor and found Kevin and the two officers. He stopped as he recognized the fourth person in their group. “You better have a good explanation for this,” he growled, “or else this guy is going to be huddling on the ground with his nuts in his hands… again.”
Red stepped forward. “We wouldn’t have brought him here if we didn’t think you needed to hear what he has to say. Is there a place we can speak privately?” Willy’s office was too small.
Kevin hurried over to him.
“There’s a faculty break room. We can go there.” He led the way, opening the door to the empty room. They went inside, and Willy sat at one of the tables, thankful that Kevin took the seat next to him. “Okay. Why are we here?”
“Like Red said, we wouldn’t do this if we didn’t feel it was necessary.” Red and Carter sat on either side of the man who had threatened Willy and Kevin.
“I didn’t intend to cause you any harm.”
“Then why make fucking threats?” Willy growled.
“You scared me half to death, and I have kids. Do you know I spent every night for the last ten days looking out my windows, watching to see if I was followed? And all of that is because of you, so whatever you think you were doing, you really don’t know shit.
” He stood. “Are we done here? I have important things that I need to do, and listening to a bunch of crap is a waste of my time. I will press charges for his threats, and I’ll talk to a lawyer about a restraining order if I have to. ” He was ready to leave.
