    “Why not?” Jonas asked, his voice strained as well.
    “Because I’ve run out… of things to say… and I really…
    really… want to come right now.”
    Jonas, flat on his back, reached for Nicky’s leaking cock.
    “Don’t touch me!” Nicky pleaded desperately, so Jonas simply let it slide back and forth over his hand.
    “Oh fuck! Man….”
    Nicky’s muscles tightened all over his body as he sank down over Jonas’s cock two, three more times and then clamped down, his fists grasping at empty space. Jonas reached for Nicky with his free hand, grabbing his wrist for support as a shudder wracked through the young man’s frame. His body, too, involuntarily thrust up into the tightness as they came together in a joint orgasm, Jonas filling the condom inside of Nicky’s hot, tight body, Nicky shooting his release over Jonas’s hand and their bellies.
    Nicky sank down over Jonas’s chest, completely limp until Jonas moved slightly and aftershocks rippled through them.
    “Oh man,” Nicky sighed. “I saw fucking stars, man!” Jonas chuckled, making Nicky shudder again. “That’s okay.”
    “Okay?” Nicky asked lazily. “That’s like saying La Maison Bryant makes okay clothes.” He looked up to kiss Jonas. “Thank you.”
    “No, thank you ,” Jonas answered, hugging the young man tightly. They were still connected and very sticky, but Jonas didn’t want to move just yet, didn’t want to break the connection. Not after the best sex he’d had in years.

    JONAS slowly closed his cell phone and stared out into the darkness.
    It hadn’t been his work phone that had vibrated while he lay sleeping close to Nicky. In the company of a client, his work phone was off and his other clients knew that. He’d find a moment to check his voice mail at least once every twenty-four hours, but other than that, he was entirely there for the person who paid for his time, twenty-four/seven if that was what was required of him.
    His private cell phone was never off but switched to vibrate-only. Very few people had that number and it was rarely called. It was only for emergencies really. This wasn’t an emergency, but still it left Jonas with a hollow feeling in his stomach. Being given an ultimatum made all sorts of warning bells go off in his mind, and it went against everything he believed in.
    None of his clients knew about Jonas’s private life. He suspected most of them didn’t even realize he had one. They made an appointment with him and he showed up, entirely at their beck and call. Jonas prided himself on giving his clients the illusion there was nobody else in his life. They knew what he did for a living, of course, but Jonas dealt in illusions so it paid to be discreet.
    He took a deep breath and got up from where he had been sitting on the side of the bath. Careful not to make too much noise, he walked back toward the bedroom and smiled at the sight before him.

    Nicky was sprawled on the bed on his back, arms stretched over his head. His long hair swirled over the pillow, eyes closed, mouth slightly open and completely lost to the world.
    Jonas let his eyes wander over the long arm, the well-contained tuft of hair under the armpit, the lean side and then let them slide across to the large dark nipples and the immaculately tanned chest. It was sinful how much this man turned him on even as he lay there sleeping. It brought back memories of happier times when he still made the effort to have a complete private life to offset his professional activities. How strange that those memories were happy and sad at the same time. It made him melancholy and that was the last thing he needed, so he sat down on the couch next to the bed and focused on Nicky again. On the one hand, he wanted to lie down on the bed next to him, stroke the young man’s satin skin, and lick his nipples until they grew hard. He already knew how the supple body would react, arching into the touch. He knew they’d kiss, and from just that and by running his hand over Nicky’s side and stomach, they’d both get hard. And within no time they’d start making love.
    But that would mean he’d wake Nicky up, and he didn’t want to do that just yet. He wanted to enjoy the sight of him lying there completely oblivious to the eyes drinking in the sight of his beautiful body. Jonas smiled when he noticed the pubic hair crowning the semi-hard cock lying on Nicky’s
