Chapter Five

Staying at Jarek's place was so nice. It was like a super fancy hotel. Luca used Jarek's deep jacuzzi tub, nearly overflowing the thing with bubbles. He winced a little at the thought. It was possible he got a bit carried away while playing. Once he was clean and wearing his favorite two-piece truck pajamas, he headed for the kitchen, where he heard Jarek's voice. He was on the phone. His gaze landed on Luca as Luca padded into the room. His intense focus never budged. Luca fought the urge to squirm beneath his inspection. He didn't think anyone had ever looked at him the way Jarek did. Luca wasn't dumb. After the way Jarek had kissed him earlier, he realized agreeing to stay overnight likely meant he had agreed to sex. That was what Luca saw in Jarek's eyes. He undressed Luca with his stare.

Luca heard enough of the conversation to understand it was business. He headed for the refrigerator and looked inside. Jarek had told him to treat the place like it was home. If he was home right now, he would make dinner. Jarek's refrigerator and cabinets were oddly empty.

Jarek moved to his side and handed Luca his personal phone. An app to order groceries was open. "Hold on a second, Sal." Jarek moved the phone away from his mouth. "Go wild. I haven't been grocery shopping in a while, and I don't know what you like. Just stock up and get whatever."

Even though Luca was just doing as told, he still felt a little odd as he stared down at the device. Then he got into it. He refused to look at the total. Luca just compared the list to the pantry and fridge. He picked out everything he would need to make a few meals for Jarek. Then Luca picked out snacks and drinks. He lost himself in the task. It was fun. Luca had never gotten to just go crazy buying food. If it had been for only him, he would have obsessed over every dollar. Since everything would stay at Jarek's, he didn't feel guilty. Jarek obviously needed someone to take care of him. When he finally looked up, he found Jarek watching him.

"Are you finished?"

Luca went over everything in his mind, trying to decide if he had forgotten anything. He gave up and held the phone out to Jarek. "Yes. I think that's everything."

"Good. Thank you." Jarek checked out without batting an eyelash. Luca wasn't sure he even looked at the total. Then he set the phone aside. "That'll take a couple of hours. Would you like to order dinner in the meantime? You have to be hungry."

Luca twisted his fingers. "I don't really have the money to do that."

A deep line appeared between Jarek's eyebrows. "You made me lunch. Why can't I buy you dinner?"

Luca hadn't really thought of it like that. "I mean, it's up to you, I guess. You'll get sick of spending money on me, though. It's not fair for you to always pay for everything."

A kind smile touched Jarek's lips. He backed Luca against the kitchen counter, invading his space. "Money is easily replaced for me. What you give me with your time is priceless. I can't get that anywhere else. Let me give back the only way I can."

Luca was confused as hell. "I don't know what any of that meant."

A sexy chuckle rumbled from Jarek. The final inches between them closed. Jarek's body pressed against him. "Let me feed you. It's my job."

Since they had arrived home, Jarek had lost the suit jacket and untucked his dress shirt. He looked a little mussed and a lot sexy. With no real thought or plan, Luca's fingers found the top button on Jarek's shirt. He unbuttoned it. "Okay." Luca unbuttoned the second one. The shirt looked stuffy and uncomfortable. Once Luca got started, he couldn't stop. Jarek's expression turned heated. He watched Luca through hooded lids with hunger in his eyes—like he simply waited to see where Luca was headed with this. Truthfully, he didn't know. He just couldn't stop.

A hint of chest hair appeared, along with an incredibly sexy, hard chest. Desire drove Luca. Oddly, he wasn't nervous at all. It was the way Jarek stared at him. Jarek wanted everything Luca did. It was written all over his face. So Luca kept going until the two halves of Jarek's shirt parted. Luca didn't think. He just acted. His lips touched Jarek's chest. He didn't stop there. Luca had never seduced anyone before. He didn't know if he did now either, but he couldn't quit. His tongue found Jarek's nipple and then his lips closed around it while his fingers skimmed down Jarek's torso to his belt.

Jarek made a sexy sound when Luca sucked the beaded nub into his mouth. That one sound drove Luca. He felt sexy and powerful. It was new and exciting. He slid Jarek's belt loose and then unbuttoned his pants while still enjoying the flavor of Jarek's skin. The guy was simply beautiful. He turned heads. Luca wasn't immune. Jarek let him touch him, so he did. Luca slid Jarek's zipper down. Jarek was hard. For him. The idea stole his breath. He dove his hand inside Jarek's pants and stroked his cock.

"What do you plan to do now?"

Luca had no idea. He just wanted to touch Jarek. There was no plan. He met Jarek's gaze. Luca didn't know what Jarek saw in his expression, but he exploded into action. Jarek's mouth covered his. Their kiss was almost violent. Jarek bit and sucked. Luca was putty in his hands. His feet left the floor as Jarek swept him into his arms and headed down the hall. Butterflies stirred in Luca's stomach, but not in nervousness. He wanted all the fantasies he had obsessed about since meeting Jarek.

Jarek set him on the edge of his bed and slowly stripped Luca. Luca kept his gaze locked on Jarek's face. His expression was oddly serious. He made Luca wish he could read minds.

"You look like this isn't really what you want."

Jarek's gaze lifted and met his stare. "I've never wanted anything more. I'm trying not to scare you. Sometimes, I can be a hell of a lot more intense than people can handle."

Luca wasn't afraid. He desperately needed to feel wanted. He was an empty well, dying from a drought of love and affection. "Don't hold back. I want the real you. Don't hide from me."

A second passed. Then Luca's back hit the mattress so hard, it knocked the air from his lungs. It took him a second to realize Jarek had yanked him closer by his thighs with such force, it toppled him. He didn't have time to feel one way or another about it. Jarek bit his stomach. A gasp escaped him before quickly turning into a moan when Jarek licked his cock. It was so much hotter than he imagined. Jarek tore from his clothes—like he couldn't get out of them fast enough. Then Jarek's nude body covered his. Their mouths clashed. Luca dug his fingers into Jarek's skin, trying to get closer. When they had met, Luca hadn't expected things to go this way between them. Jarek didn't seem like the kind of guy who would go for Luca. Still didn't, honestly. Luca recognized this moment might never come again. It was possible he was just convenient. He didn't care. For him, Jarek was a dream come true. He would take this memory to Nevada with him, knowing—for a moment—he owned the sexiest man he had ever seen. There was no way Jarek could understand. This was the greatest moment of his life.

"Tell me what you want. I'll give you anything." Jarek's breathless question scattered Luca's last brain cells. His mouth knew what his body wanted, though. It didn't hesitate.

"I want you inside me. Please, Daddy. I need it."

Jarek shot to his knees and dove for the bedside table. While he suited up, Luca stole his chance to eye Jarek's nude body. Luca lost his breath. He was lithe, like a runner, but solid. Beautiful. Luca might have felt insecure about his tiny body that was a byproduct of malnutrition at just the right age to stunt him, except Jarek was very obviously hard and acted like he couldn't get inside Luca fast enough. That had to mean something.

Once Jarek had his condom in place and coated in lube, his heated gaze focused on Luca. His wet fingers found Luca's asshole. Luca thought he might come before Jarek ever got inside him. He was a little too eager and deprived.

"I don't want you to be nervous."

Luca nodded. His throat wouldn't work, and it had nothing to do with being scared. He was enthralled and so damn horny. Jarek's fingers stretched him. He massaged Luca's erection with his free hand. Luca fought the urge to squirm in his impatience. Jarek swiped his crown up and down Luca's crack. A stuttered breath escaped him. Then Jarek's dick pressed hard against the tight ring of muscles surrounding Luca's asshole. Jarek's gaze never wavered from Luca's face, as if watching for any signs of discomfort. He wouldn't see any. While Luca had never been with another man, he had—while blushing in horror—bought several toys online. He used them regularly, expecting he would always be alone. Luca was ready for the real thing. In fact, he thought he might scream if Jarek didn't get on with things.

Finally, Jarek's cock pressed inside him an inch and then another. Luca moaned. He couldn't stop the sound. Luca wanted this so badly. When the noise left his lips, Jarek froze for a second and then slammed the rest of the way inside. Another needy moan burst from him. Jarek came at him like a man possessed. He used Luca like a sex doll. Jarek took him. There was no other way to describe the way he fucked Luca's ass, lifting him from the bed and jack-hammering inside him. Luca felt dizzy with lust. He simply held on and focused on all the amazing sensations. The entire experience was much wilder than he had imagined. A little more violent. Jarek bit his neck and sucked. Luca dug his fingernails into Jarek's skin and held on. He didn't need to do anything. Jarek lifted him and pulled him back down again, taking what he wanted from Luca. Luca closed his eyes and breathed. Tiny mewling sounds kept bursting from him as the pressure grew. His head fell back as he gasped to get more air. Luca's thighs burned, making him realize he had braced his feet against anything he could find, equally trying to take what he wanted from Jarek. His balls tightened. He wanted to tear off his skin as the orgasm he desperately wanted remained just beyond his reach.

"Come for Daddy."

The demand broke something inside Luca. A loud cry ripped from his throat as his entire body jerked. Ecstasy had him making sounds he never had before. Jarek cried out against his throat. His hold tightened to the point of painful as he pumped hard inside Luca. Luca saw stars, and they were beautiful. So gorgeous that tears pricked the backs of his eyes. Jarek was his best friend. It would hurt when Luca had to leave.

Jarek was satiated and yet still hungry in a way he had never been before. Sex with Luca had been off the charts. His orgasm had been top tier. Now all Jarek could think about was doing it again. Luca was so open and genuine in everything he did. Jarek should have known sex would be the same. Luca flitted around like Jarek hadn't been ridiculously rough with him. He had red marks that would definitely turn to bruises, hickeys, and bite marks. Yet Luca ate cookies, popped together blocks, and smiled a lot. Jarek had never been more certain. He had met the one.

Several times over the past few weeks, he had wondered what kept him going to that park each night, watching Luca. There had been a pull in his chest—like an invisible fishing line dragging him in Luca's direction. Now Jarek understood. He had witnessed fate at work. It was beautiful. Jarek needed to make it flourish.

"Do you remember the guy I introduced you to today?"

Luca looked up from the instructions to their new set. His eyes swam with laughter. "Yes. It was only a few hours ago."

Jarek chuckled. "I know. Sometimes, I'm bad with names. I didn't know if you were the same."

"Boone? Right?"

Jarek dipped his chin. "Got it in one. Anyhow, he gave me a card for a place called The PlayPen. Have you heard of it?"

Luca shook his head.

"He said it's a place for Littles to play together."

Luca blinked. "I don't know what that means."

Damn. Jarek hadn't expected Luca to not understand there was a term for people like him. Jarek pointed at himself. "Daddy." He pointed at Luca. "Little."

"Oh." He seemed to turn inward for a second. "I guess I kind of knew that, but I definitely didn't know there was a place for people like me to hang out."

Jarek nodded. "He wants us to come sometime so we can check it out. What do you think?"

Luca held his stare for a moment, but Jarek had a feeling he only saw whatever was inside his head. Finally, he blinked, as if coming back to himself. "I guess we could go. Boone seems nice. You could spend time with him outside of work."

"Boone isn't nice." Jarek held Luca's stare. It was important for Luca to understand this part. "He's not my friend. He's my client. Boone is a very dangerous man. I'm not above spending time with him, but it's important for you to know and understand that about him."

Luca nodded. "Okay." His answer didn't sound as if he was convinced. Jarek could only hope Luca listened, even if he didn't believe.

He moved on. "I was thinking, if you want, tomorrow, we could go to the beach. Then afterward, we could get cleaned up and check out the place."

Jarek didn't know if Luca heard anything he said after "beach." Luca squealed and bounced in place. "That sounds amazing."

The smile pulling at the corners of Jarek's mouth couldn't be stopped. He was happier than he had been in years. "Good. Now, tell me which blocks we need first. Or I can read the instructions while you handle the blocks. Your choice."

"We'll take turns."

Jarek nodded and listened to Luca explain where they would start. Peace settled into his soul. There was absolutely nowhere else he would rather be. For once, Jarek felt complete.
