Hands On

Story Excerpt:





Drew, still puzzled about what was going on closed the door and looked Jeremy up and down as he moved through the house. It didn’t matter how many times he saw him out of the work uniform, he couldn’t help but give him an appreciative once over. Jeans that hugged his ass perfectly, a T-shirt not too tight but still showed he had upper body strength, to that face with deep chocolate eyes, shaggy brown hair, and a smile that was contagious—he noticed it all the first day they met.

“I didn’t invite you, did I?”

Jeremy threw a look over his shoulder. “Nah, but I came to help you sleep,” he said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world and continued on his way down the hall. Knowing from memory the exact location of the room he was looking for was.

Drew followed. “Where are you going?”

“Bedroom.” It was a simple but open-ended answer, leaving many possibilities to be considered.

“Why?”

“Well I can do this on the couch, but frankly it’d just be more comfortable in the bed,” Jeremy stopped short of his destination and leaned against the wall. “Look, do you want to get some sleep or what?”

Drew stared at him skeptically but despite his clouded judgment at the moment he decided to go along with anything he had in mind right now if it would get him a good night’s rest. Besides any situation ending with Jeremy in his bed couldn’t be a bad thing. He noticed before Jeremy went out of his way to make sure they were never alone, it was bothersome at first, but he quickly caught onto the reasoning and couldn’t help but admit he was grateful for it sometimes. At least one of them had strong will power, until now.

He took the last few steps into his room turning the light on as he went through the door. Turning he saw Jeremy do a quick once over of his surroundings, a bed, nightstand, dresser, and a couple piles of clothes, it would be hard to determine if they were clean or not, sparsely took up the room.

“Lay down.” Without a second thought Drew went and fell to his bed, leaning back on his elbows he fixed Jeremy with a look, a suggestive grin, thinking he now knew exactly where this situation was heading. Jeremy held back a smile as he moved toward the bed. “Roll over.”

Confusion took over Drew’s face once again but he rolled over onto his stomach placing himself in the middle of the bed.
