."It's better now, though,yeah?""Yeah.Just feels weird and tingly, you know howthat is.""Luckily I only know because you've told me and notfrom experience.I'd take it from you if I could, though."Chris' hands were so warm where they touched him."Mmm." He just let himself enjoy it, float, nice andeasy.Soft sounds slid over his skin as Chris pressed kissesagainst his shoulder, his throat.There was no pressurefrom Chris to do anything, none at all, despite the heathe could feel against his thigh.He let himself just melt,enjoy the care, the love that he could feel in every touch.Chris' touches slowed, the big hands just resting againsthis skin now, warm breath pushing against his neck."I love you." Justin let the words float there.175 He felt Chris' smile against his skin.Chris had him, and it was okay.Good, even.Real.176 Chapter FifteenChris waited for Justin to do up his belt and startedthe car, aiming for home.Justin's hair was still wet fromhis swim, his cheeks bright from effort.His babe lookedhappy and that made his heart glad."We need to stop at the grocery store for dinnersupplies?""I don't think so.I was thinking we could just grillsome hot dogs and sit outside on the porch.""That actually sounds nice.We have hot dogs?""Yeah.Buns and chips, too." Justin closed his eyes,leaned into the car seat."Sounds perfect.You okay, babe?""Yep.""Yep?" Chris chuckled."Your swim tire you out?""Hmm? No.No, I don't think so.I'm just resting myeyes.""Head bothering you?" It had been a long time sincehe'd seen Justin with a migraine.He didn't like it.Justinno doubt didn't like it even more."Not really.I mean, you know how the day or threeafter anything sets one off? I don't want another one.""No, I'd rather you avoid getting anymore of them.""Me too.I think there must have been MSG in thestuff we had for lunch.""Another reason to make our own.""It was that fund raiser thing for the kids.""Huh.Okay, we'll have to look more closely intocaterers then." He shot Justin a look."I'm not riskingyou."Justin pinked, but smiled."I'm just an assistantcoach.""You're an Olympian.You're my lover.And myassistant coach." And maybe more.177 "You're my best friend."He smiled at Justin."Thank you."Justin, eyes still closed, reached over and squeezedhis leg."It's true.""I'm glad." It was important to him that he was apositive influence in Justin's life.A good thing beyondbeing Justin's coach.And lover.Okay, so he wanted itall."Me, too.It's Friday.Do you have plans for theweekend?""I thought I'd take you for lunch at the Sliver Liningtomorrow." He wanted to introduce Justin to otherpeople who lived the lifestyle.So Justin didn't feel quiteso isolated, so much like he was different."Yeah? Okay.Is that a bar?""It's a club for people in the lifestyle.""And anyone can come in?""No, you need to be a member.""Oh.You're a member." Justin's eyes opened."Butyou aren't doing lifestyle things with them, right?""No, babe.I'm doing lifestyle things with you.""Okay.I just want to make sure that's clear."He grinned."Are you staking your claim, babe?""Yes." That was sure."I think I like that.A lot."Justin squeezed his fingers."It goes both ways, too.""Yeah? You aren't going to let anyone try and touchme?" Justin asked."That's right." Chris couldn't help the growl in hisvoice.Nobody was touching Justin.Ever.From anylifestyle."Good.I only want you."178 "That's good because you're mine.Which doesn'tmean I don't want to show you off, introduce you to theguys I know.I'm proud of you, babe."They turned into the drive and he hit the button forthe garage door opener.Justin nodded, and they sat therefor a long minute, then Justin headed in.He shook hishead, grabbing his sports bag and following thatamazing ass.His boy was complex and, while it wasfascinating, it could be frustrating as fuck.At least Justin was happy now, back on a routine,with someone who loved him.There'd been no moredrinking, no more talk of crazy stunts that were stupid atbest, suicidal at worst.There was something, though, arestlessness.A sense of loss that just never went away
