When Chris woke up, it was eight p. m. Eight p. m. in L. A meant eleven p. m. in New York. He quickly checked his phone to see whether he had missed a call from Shane. Chris couldn’t stop the smile that brightened his face when he saw Shane’s message:
Shane: miss u.
Chris sat with his back against the headboard and typed a message to Shane.
Chris: What happened to calling me when u get home?
Shane: (responding immediately) I said I was going to call before I go to bed. Did u have a good sleep?
Chris: Yes. Did u sleep on the flight?
Shane: 3hrs straight. Feel refreshed. Mama is going to keep me awake till mornin so I had to get some sleep.
Chris: Howz she doing?
Shane: Very well.
Chris: God, I miss u.
Shane: Miss u more. Will u wait up for me? I want to talk to u before I sleep.
Chris: I can’t go back to sleep without talking to u, dude. I have some work to do so I’ll be doing it whilst I wait for that call.
Shane: (smiling broadly) Good.
Chris: Oh and Shane, know u’re going to see me in NY in the mornin if u dare sleep without calling me.
Shane: (Bursting into laughter) I’ll be better off not calling then. U have no idea how much I want to see u.
Chris: Same here but please call. Can’t go till mornin without hearing ur voice.
Shane: Promise.
Chris: Good. Now go show ur mum some luv.
Shane: Ok
But Shane didn’t move from where he sat. He re-read the whole conversation with a silly smile on his face the whole time. When he eventually looked up from his phone, it was to find Sylvia Lewis standing at the door of his bedroom, with her hands on her chest, smiling fondly at him.
“Finally.” She breathed.
Shane couldn’t wipe the smile off his face, though he had no idea what his mother was talking about. “Finally what?” He asked.
“You found it,” Sylvia responded simply.
“Ma…”
“You don’t have to tell me now. Enjoy it. Savor it. Feels good doesn’t it?” Sylvia looked at her son with so much love and joy in her eyes. She’d waited and prayed to see that look in her son’s eyes again for so long.
“Mama really…”
“Nicolas Shane Lewis, don’t you dare lie to your mother. I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it.” She said with mock anger, making Shane burst into laughter.
He stood up and went to give his mother a tight hug. “I’ll tell you all about it,” Shane murmured into his mother’s hair. “But not today.”
“I know son. Just let go and enjoy.”
“I still feel overwhelmed but…it does feel good.” Shane groaned, making his mother laugh softly.
Mother and son talked till almost dawn. By the time Shane stripped and jumped into bed, it was almost five a. m. His heart danced in joyful anticipation as he dialed Chris’ number. Chris picked up on the first ring, making Shane smile.
“Hey,” Chris said, drawing up the covers over his naked body.
“Hey yourself.” Shane chuckled. “Done with work?”
“Un-huh. I was about to pack my stuff for a trip to New York in the morning but…” Chris murmured, making Shane laugh softly. Damn, it was good to hear Shane’s voice.
Shane went quiet for a moment. “Are you in bed?”
Chris swallowed hard, suddenly feeling warm all over. Shane’s voice caressed his senses. “Yes. You?” His voice turned gruff.
“Yep. Just jumped in here. Will I see you tomorrow?” Shane asked.
“Shane, we have a meeting at your house tomorrow aft…” Chris started to say but Shane jumped in.
“I know. I meant after the meeting.” He sounded hopeful. “Will you come see me after?”
“Till you tell me I’m forgiven, I’m never going to stop coming,” Chris said quietly.
“Watch it. ‘Cause I just might never say those words if that means I’ll see you every day.” Shane retorted, making Chris laugh softly.
“I’ll keep that in mind. Fuck, I wish I were there with you, Shane.” Chris growled.
Shane gave a deep sigh. “So do I, baby. So do I.” He said quietly, surprised at the ease with which the endearment rolled off his tongue as if he used it every day.
Shane’s reply caught Chris by surprise. He’d been called ‘baby’ lots of times. In fact, more times than he could remember, but coming from Shane, and in that sexy voice, it sounded special, sweet, hot…and if the way Chris’ cock had jerked at that sexily spoken word was any indication, arousing. Chris’ hand moved down underneath the covers to his semi-hard cock and he couldn’t stop his hand from stroking it slowly. Damn, he needed to hear Shane talk more.
“Shane?”
“Yes, Chris?”
“What’s your day like on a typical workday?” Chris demanded in a deep breathy voice as he put the phone on speaker and reached into his side drawer for lube.
Shane laughed softly, a little surprised at the question. But he decided to humour Chris so he told him. And even as Shane told Chris about what he did on a typical workday, Chris kicked off the covers and closed his slicked hand around his pulsing cock, and then listening to Shane’s incredibly sexy voice, Chris slowly stroked himself. Damn, it felt so good. He bit his lip to hold in his moans as he totally lost himself in Shane’s seductive voice.
Not having the slightest idea what was happening on the other end of the phone, Shane kept talking in that entrancing voice of his. “…I usually work deep into the night. So I finally get to bed around one a. m. What about you?” Shane asked.
Chris took a deep shaky breath and tried to calm his racing heart. “Around eleven p. m.” He husked as his hips slowly rocked up and his cock slid in and out of his slick palm.
Shane frowned. The way Chris sounded…his erratic breathing… “Chris?”
“Talk to me, Shane.” Chris breathed. “Please.” Chris moaned as he began to stroke in earnest.
“Jesus,” Shane muttered. He went silent for a moment because he really didn’t know what to say. He’d never done anything like that ever. Chris’ moans became louder, the sound rushing directly to Shane’s cock. But he didn’t touch himself. This was for Chris. “If I were there with you right now, I would take your balls into my mouth and suck on them.”
“Oh fuck.” Chris breathed as a gush of precum spilled from his cock at Shane’s words. “Please don’t stop.” Never before had he been so affected by someone. Much as Chris didn’t care what Shane talked about since he only needed to hear his voice, Shane’s hot words took the whole experience to a totally new smoldering level.
