Heart in his hands…love…my guy.Overwhelming joy filled Michael’s brain. He mashed his mouth down on Niall’s. He needed to taste his man and show Niall just how much the feeling was mutual. God, he loved Niall too. So much. He sucked on Niall’s tongue and grabbed his boyfriend’s ass.

Niall broke the kiss first and sagged against Michael. “I suppose you like my admission?”

“I do.” Michael rested his forehead against Niall’s. “I love you, too, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“Then stay here. I’ve got plenty of room for all your secrets.” Niall grabbed a handful of Michael’s shirt. “Share my house, my bed and my life. Yeah?” His lips parted and his breath feathered over Michael’s cheeks.

“You’re willing to accept me and all my baggage—despite everything?” He brushed his nose along Niall’s and breathed in the woodsy scent of his lover. “You bet your ass I’m sticking around. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.” His heart leaped and his spirits soared. He couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. He had a man who loved him and wanted to be with him.

“Good. I wanted to spend tonight celebrating the end of summer, the end of your tour and the beginning of the school year.” Niall wriggled his eyebrows. His eyes flashed and his smile grew. “A little steak, a little wine and a night of hot sex.” He bobbed his head. “Okay, I can’t guarantee how much food we’ll actually eat, but I can guarantee there will be a lot of sex.”

“I’m in for all of it—the food, wine and especially you.” He ground his body against Niall’s and suppressed a moan. He didn’t need to tour and work with the band to know where he belonged. He didn’t have to have the teaching job in order to matter to someone. He’d found his heart, his soul and his home all in the same place—with Niall. He’d work out what he wanted to do with his career later. Right now, nothing mattered but being with Niall. Michael laughed and love for his partner filled his heart. Belonging in Cedarwood with Niall never felt so good.
