Liam chuckled, and Austin kissed him on the neck again before easing his softening cock out of him. He couldn’t help but watch Liam’s well-used hole close back up, all marked with Austin’s cum which was already dribbling out. Why was that so fucking hot?
“Are you being all caveman and looking at your cum in my hole again?” asked Liam.
“What happened to that shy boy who made unicorn cupcakes for my daughter?”
“I’ve never been shy. I just couldn’t believe someone as hot as you was into me. And I still make her cupcakes.”
“I know. It’s one of the many things I love about you.”
He felt Liam’s body tense under him. Fuck. He hadn’t intended to blurt it out like that. He’d had a plan to say something when they were alone on Saturday night.
“Liam, turn over, please.”
Liam shook his head.
“I’m sorry for blurting it out, but I do love you. There’s no expectation for you to say it back. I just want you to know how I feel.”
Not being able to take the silence any longer, Austin turned Liam over and was shocked to see him crying, and not just a few tears, he looked really upset. Had Austin misjudged how Liam felt about him?
“What’s wrong, baby? Am I being too much again?”
“No. You’re perfect as always.”
Austin couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m far from perfect. If anyone deserves that label, it’s you.”
Liam shook his head, tears still streaming down his face.
“I’m sorry if I upset you. That wasn’t my intention.”
“I’m not upset about what you said. I love you too.”
Austin couldn’t help but smile and lean forward for a kiss. “Why all the tears, then?”
“It’s the first time someone has ever said that to me first. It’s usually me who says it first and then they run away, saying I’m too much.”
“I’m not going anywhere, Liam,” he said, kissing him again. “Those guys were all idiots. You’ve never been too much. Like I said, you’re perfect. Come here, let me cuddle you.”
“I’m covered in spunk.”
Austin snorted. “Such a romantic. We can clean up in a minute. I just want to hold you.”
Austin lay on his back, and Liam practically climbed onto his chest, gripping him tightly.
“Thank you,” said Liam.
“For what? Loving you? You made it very easy for me to fall for you, Liam.”
“Thank you for saying it first. I was too scared, in case youwere like the others.”
Austin felt Liam’s tears drip onto his chest, and pulled him tighter, kissing him on the forehead. This man was everything to Austin.
“I promise to tell you every day how much I love you.”
It was a promise Austin was going to keep.
