“I got an offer from Harvard.”
“Again.” Connor smiled.
“I think it was annual, only this time I meant to take it.”
“I think you should.”
“Really?”
“Yes of course, they have been begging for years now, besides, we’ll have normal hours, have a normal life, short of an explosion in the lab, out of danger. I want that babe, I want to come home to you at night and if you’re not there, know that you’re safe and for you to have the same security.”
“You don’t want to go back and help Anton out then?”
“At this point in time Anton is lucky I don’t tear him a new one. The only loyalty is to you, to us. The OSIR manipulated us and while the work was fun when we started it’s become a dangerous game and I resent games. I don’t trust any of them anymore.”
“Except Matt.” Peter tugged on Connor’s ear with his teeth.
“Yes, I’ve been meaning to ask you about that.”
“’Bout what?”
“Matt Praeger.”
“What about him?”
“You’re close.”
“Close to killing him on several occasions.” Peter laughed.
“But he cares about you.”
“Yeah I guess he does. I owe him for bringing you home.”
“He loves you babe.”
Peter’s laugh was rich and full as he rolled onto his back. “Don’t be ridiculous.”
“Am I?”
“Heterosexual Matthew Praeger who’d die if a man so much as looked at his cock let alone touch it? Same Matt Praeger I’ve had to put up with for months that has three ex-wives a string of girlfriends including Lindsey and a daughter who’s got a crush on me the size of Mount Rushmore? We are talking about the same man?”
“The one and only.” Connor smiled.
“Love if you want to be jealous over anyone be jealous over Lindsey after all we slept together.”
“You what?” Connors voice was calm.
“Slept as in her on one side me on the other, no sex, no thanks, but she stayed with me to put Rollins off the scent.”
“Oh. But Matt slept with you too.”
“I see you two have been busy talking, yes Matt came into our room and calmed me down, while I sobbed myself to sleep again because I was missing you.”
“Peter.” Connors voice was laced with anguish as he looked up into open face and storm gray eyes.
“Don’t.” Peter closed his lips over his lover. “It’s alright, we’ll be fine. Don’t be too hard on Anton or Lindsey, they both love you and their grief was not disloyalty to me, they were blinded and couldn’t see mine was because I chose for them not too. I left them love, they didn’t leave me. They didn’t have a chance and I never gave them one, so let them be. Please.”
“For you only but it still annoys me that those I trusted to look after you didn’t even damn try.”
“I think I’d have probably booked from the OSIR earlier if they had love.”
“Maybe, I still don’t have to like it.” Connor reached a hand up to the stubbled jaw.
“Protecting me again?” Peter smiled.
“It’s my job.” Conner pulled Peter down to him, parting his lips with his tongue and suckling on the bottom lip eliciting a moan from the men. “What time is it?” Connor stroked the strong jaw, as he lay back, comfortable for the first time in years.
“Nearly three, you were out for over seven hours.”
“And you were here for how long?” Connor smiled.
“Ah bout six and a half.”
“No wonder I slept so well.”
Peter stomach growled and he smiled sheepishly.
“I take it that means you’re hungry?”
“Yeah, guess I am.”
“And that would be a first in the last few months as well wouldn’t it?” Dark eyes watched him closely and Peter turned away.
“I eat.”
“Clif bars and protein shakes are not food groups Peter.”
“This from a man who thinks cheese and peanut butter crackers are an ideal meal replacement. Besides it didn’t do me any harm.”
“Didn’t do you any good either, the fact that you look hotter than hell means nothing.”
“And if I was fat and pudgy and lily white would you still love me?” Peter swung his legs out of the bed and wrapped a towel around his waist as he padded softly to the bathroom door.
“Always babe, no matter what.” Connor answered and pushed the sheet down as he arched his body off the bed and stretched.
Peter came back seconds later with a warm cloth and cleaned away the evidence of their lovemaking and dried Connor as he bent down to accept a warm kiss.
“If I take the job at Harvard, I want the board to know that we are in a relationship.”
Connor sighed heavily. “They may rescind the offer.”
“They may take legal action if word gets out and someone tries to blackmail us with it as well. Besides, I can’t hide anymore Connor.” There was despair in the gentle voice and Connor smiled.
“No, we can’t, agreed, if you want I’ll come with you and we’ll let the college know at MIT as well.”
Peter’s features softened and long dimples creased his face. “I don’t suppose you’re up to cooking?”
“Maybe, depends on who for.”
“Me.”
“And you’d want?”
“A Connor flavored chew toy?” Peter licked across his lover’s chest as Connor squirmed under the tender assault.
“Food babe, I am not food.”
“Are to me, and air and water and life itself.”
