Four hours later

Jared sat on the edge of the bed, hair still damp from the wash. He checked his phone to see three missed calls from Luca. He rose a brow as he swore under his breath. Jared redialed Luca and waited as it rang, but there was no answer, making his heart skip slightly. He dialed Luca back.

"Jared?" Luca answered on the first ring.

"Luca!" Jared pressed, trying not to panic.

Luca swore. "Baby, you can calm down. I'll be up in a few. I'm in the stairwell, and the elevators are out of service. I tried calling." Luca panted.

Jared exhaled a sigh of relief and nodded. "Alright, okay." He wiped off the sweat from his forehead, fingering a hand back through his hair. Luca had to leave the house once they arrived to head out to the office to check on some last-minute issues with one of the shipping companies. He hadn't checked in as usual, so the missed phone calls had nearly made Jared sick. "You scared me. Why'd you call so much?"

Luca chuckled breathlessly. "I wanted to tell you about what happened so you wouldn't freak out like you're doing now. My service was acting up. Sorry." He said.

Jared scoffed, rolling his eyes. "I'm not that much of a worrywart. Don't apologize for anything."

"Aren't you the one who just called me in a frantic panic?" Luca asked.

Heat spread over Jared's face, and he was too stunned and flustered to speak. Urgh! He was a lawyer, so why was Luca's simple question making him act so frazzled? "Uh, I didn't. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay and not in need of my immediate assistance."

"Uh-huh, sure, sure." He said, brushing off his lover's lie.

Jared sighed. "Shut it. Anyways, did you ask maintenance when the elevators will be repaired?" He asked, changing the topic.

Luca huffed as he adjusted his bag on his shoulder. "Uh, yeah, they said, it should be up and running in the morning. It was just a minor issue, so they're ensuring that it doesn't give that problem again."

Jared smiled. "Thank God, I can't imagine the tiresome trek up the stairs after coming from work."

Luca snickered. "Tell me about it. I'm almost here."

"Aren't you happy that we just live on the third floor?" Jared smirked, grabbing up the towel the dry his hair.

"Yeah, yeah," Luca sighed. When yet were moving in together, Luca and Jared had been tied on whether they wanted the apartment on the 3rd floor or one on the 12th, he was happy now for the unanimous choice of the 3rd floor, but he'd never let Jared know that. "Baby, could... could you open the door for me, please?" He huffed.

"Of course, sweetheart," Jared left the room and did as he was asked, opening the door to lean against it as Luca huffed out on the phone. The exit door opened, and Jared caught the tall figure of his lover coming out. "You alright there, love?"

"I'm dying." Luca exhaled as he stood up, hands on his hips as he caught his breath.

Jared chuckled and turned off the call, pocketing the phone. He strode over to Luca, smiling. "You were running, weren't you? Should I fetch an inhaler?" He asked.

Luca laughed at him, then reached out and caught his waist. "No, but you could quit being a cocky ass. How about that? "

"Hmm, I rather not," Jared muttered.

"Oh, hmm, rather not, huh?" Luca mumbled, bending to press his lips to Jared's. He hummed against them, happy to finally be home after a long day.

"Long day?" He asked with a hand on Luca's chest.

Luca groaned. "So many calls. I don't want to hear another phone ring ever."

"Aww, don't be so down. Try being a lawyer," he chuckled, "Come, let's get inside."

"Yes, boss." Luca sighed, wishing that his day hadn't been such a rush.

Jared smacked Luca's back as he followed him into their home. "Be quiet."

"Make me." Luca purred.

"Oh, a challenge." Jared twirled the older one around and yanked the front of his shirt, crushing their lips together.

Luca muffled a gasp against his lips, and although he was tired, he gripped an arm around Jare's waist and dragged him in, opening his mouth to deepen the kiss. He heard his lover moan and swore as he bit his bottom lip.

"Luc-Uhm." Jared tried when the man reached around to grab his ass. He caught his forearm but didn't urge him to remove his hand. "Baby..." He hummed, their bodies pressed tightly together, and he could feel Luca's erection against his upper thigh. His boyfriend kissed his chin, then underneath it as he nudged his head aside, walking him back to press him to the door where he pinned him.

"You showered?" Luca growled, licking a trail up Jare's throat. "Delicious." He muttered, catching his lover's skin with his teeth. Jare cried out and threaded a hand into his hair, making Luca moan before biting down on his throat.

"Ah! Fuck!" Jared tightened his grip on Luca's hair and shirt, grinding against the knee between his legs. "Luca! Baby wa-wait."

"Why? Aren't you hard?" He inquired, squeezing Jare's ass hard and pushing his crotch against his grinds. Luca hissed and kissed his lover's neck. "Want me to stop?" He asked as Jared groaned low, clutching to his work shirt.

"N-no... yes. I was heading to the cleaners." Jared said.

"Go tomorrow." Luca huffed, kissing under his chin.

"I can't, Luca. I need my suits." He shivered and gripped Luca's arm. "Please, don't make me say yes... they close in an hour. I'll be right back. Go shower, and I'll be back before you dry off."

Luca chuckled. "So confident. Go on. I won't keep you." He bent to take his lips, kissing him deeply until Jared moaned and ground against his knee, swearing softly on his tongue.

"Luc, you're killing me."

"Then stay." Luca grasped Jared's erection, making him exclaim and catch his wrist. Luca smirked as he rubbed it stiffly.

"Fuck!" Jared's eyes rolled back, head thrown back against the door, and then the feeling was gone. He choked out a gasp. "Lu-"

"You should get going, love." Luca kissed his forehead and stepped away from him, grabbing his bag and heading for their bedroom.

Jared stood there a minute more, flustered, shocked, and wearing a confusing erection. "That bastard!" He seethed.

》》》》》

Jared hurried back from the dry cleaners as he replied to an email from a colleague. He groaned as the traffic light stopped him and checked his watch. His phone buzzed, and he arched a brow, answering the call, "Ashton? What is it?"

"Jared, I know you're off today, but is it possible to squeeze me in to your schedule for tomorrow?"

"Oh, of course. I'll have to check my appointments, move or, cancel a few things then get back to you. Would that be fine?" Jared hadn't expected to see Ashton Fredrickson, of all people calling him at such an hour... he respected his time, so this must be urgent.

"Thank you so much, Jared. You know I'd never call on your off day, but this is a time-sensitive situation."

Jared crossed the street. "Not a problem, sir. We'll speak later. Goodbye." He clicked off the call after Ashton thanked him and hummed to himself, trying to figure out why one of his most prominent clients would call on such short notice. Jared wondered if the reason he wanted him to find time to see him was because of his upcoming marriage or something further. He hummed as he entered his building.

Jared made it to the stairs, albeit a little winded, but got inside his apartment and called out for his lover. He didn't linger on the thoughts of Ashton as he messaged his secretary about his schedule change to fit Ashton in. "Baby?" Jared called, kicking his shoes off as he entered the apartment. He called for Luca again, pushing their bedroom door open to find Luc asleep on the bed with a tile wrapped around his waist and long hair. "Oh baby, you're exhausted," Jared muttered. He walked to their closet to hang up his clothes, then leaned against the door frame to admire his lover. "So handsome," he moved to sit on the bed next to Luc, smiling as he brushed a loose strand of hair from his forehead. "Sexy," Jared bent to kiss his cheek, then the edge of his mouth.

"Somnophilia?"

Jared jumped back, gasping at being caught off guard. "Crap! And no, I'm not a creep. It was simply a kiss." Jared said in his defense.

"I'm fine with you kissing me in my sleep. You can even fuck me while I sleep, but I rather be awake to see your cute face." Luca chuckled when he turned and say up to see Jare's face lit up like a lamp. "Oh, are you embarrassed?" He asked, leaning over to catch his waist and pull him in.

"S-stop it!" Jared cried out, pushing Luca's hands away from him, "I have up call back my secretary!" He hopped off the bed, or at least tried to but Luca was faster. He grabbed the waistband of his pants and dragged him back to bed, somehow pinning his hands over his head as he plopped down between his legs and ground against him.

"Oh, you're hard. Do you like taking advantage of me that much, baby?" Luca asked as he licked at Jared's throat. "Did you want me that bad that you couldn't even be bothered to wake me?" He bit his neck, teasing Jared to high heaven as the man turned new shades of red underneath him.

"Luc! Please, fuck! Uhaa-sto-ngh!" Jared mewled, eyes rolling back as Luca grabbed his ass with one hand, keeping him pinned to the bed with the other as he shoved a hand down the back of his pants. "Fuck Luca."

"Say my name again." He demanded, kissing his throat and licking and biting him again. "Say it again, baby, for me." He cooed.

Jared gasped, first balled up as he squirmed in Luca's grasp. "Luca!" He hissed. He shivered hard, the older one's cock pressed against his ass."Baby..."

"Dammit, I want you, Jared."

Jared huffed out, eyes hazy. "Please, fuck me."

Luca discarded the towel from his head, let go of Jared, then knelt back and undid the towel from his waist, cock springing out, attracting Jare's gaze. "Be a good boy and suck me off, Jared."

Jared gulped at the dominating side of Luca that he rarely got to see. He licked his lips at the sight of his thick hard cock in his grasp, the tip wet with precum already. "Yes, daddy." Jared moved forward, rubbing his thighs as he licked the hot shaft before him from his balls to the head. Luca groaned deeply. "So hot."

"Fuck Jare, open that pretty mouth for me." He muttered, pressing a thumb to his lip before gently smacking his cock on Jared's eager tongue. "Good boy. This will be fun." He thrust forward, making Jared moan as he shoved the hoodie from his shoulders. "Beautiful."
