Summary: A wealthy businessman is forced to do volunteer work and meets a handsome social worker who changes his views about the homeless and about love.
//Indicate thoughts
Feeling warm breath ghosting over the skin of his neck David smiled and curled his arms a little tighter around the body next to his own. Craig. The man he loved with everything he was. //I finally told him. I finally realized what I felt was love. All these years of thinking it wasn't real, and all that I needed was to meet him.// Opening his eyes slowly he noticed how dark it was and wondered what time it might be. He hadn't had a strong concept of time in the last few days because of the flights. Drawing back slightly he watched Craig sleep. The way dark lashes sat against his cheeks, and his lips were slightly parted as soft breaths ghosted against David's skin. "God, how did I ever manage not saying I love you for so long?" he whispered softly.
Craig felt the slight shifting of his lover’s body and pulled him closer. He slowly began to wake up as David’s words drifted over him and a soft smile touched his lips just before his eyes opened. “Say it again?” he whispered. “Just one more time?”
David smiled as Craig asked him to say it again. ”I love you, Craig. Love you more than I ever thought possible," he whispered pressing a soft kiss against his forehead and pulling him even closer.
Sighing happily, Craig ran his hand over David’s chest and smiled. “Mmmm…those are exactly the words I thought I heard last night.” Looking up at his lover with sparkling eyes, Craig studied his face closely. “Feeling better? We’ve slept for….” He rolled over to look at the clock on his side of the bed. “God, we slept for 14 hours! I’ve never slept that long in my life.”
David laughed as Craig announced the time, "I guess we were both pretty wiped out, I don't recall ever sleeping that long either but I do feel much better. I don't suggest two seventeen hour flights so close together," he said grinning. "Since it's already so late, we might as well just stay here today huh? I can always quit my job tomorrow?" he teased snuggling closer to his lover.
“Sounds perfect,” Craig laughed. “I can always beg for my job back tomorrow.” Rolling back over to snuggle close to his lover, he nuzzled against his neck and relaxed back into David’s embrace. “Sweetheart….I was thinking….since I so thoroughly screwed over the trip you’d planned to tell me you loved me on, how about we take another trip…say in the next few days? Just the two of us, no cell phones, no paperwork, no *work* period…just us? We can work out our respective job situations tomorrow morning and leave as soon as we’re finished?”
David pulled back slightly to look into Craig's eyes. "Are...are you sure? I don't want you to think you have to do this to prove anything to me or anything," he said softly. "I'd love it, we both could use a vacation...you especially, but...only if you are sure."
“I’m sure,” Craig said, smiling at the shocked look on his lover’s face. “I want to go on a real vacation with the man I love. And don’t want there to ever, *ever* be the slightest doubt in your mind what comes first in my life. The shelter is special to me…it was my entire life for nine years, but if it came down between you and it, I’d walk away from that place without one moment of hesitation.” He moved up and pressed his slowly stiffening arousal against David’s hip. “Besides, I plan on molesting you every hour or so, and I want us to be too far away for you to be able to call Dom or Marton to come and rescue you.”
David laughed and slid his hand down Craig's back to his hip pulling him even closer, "Is that so? Well...I think I can live with that," he grinned. Then looking at Craig seriously, "And I just want you to know, I would never ask you to give up the shelter. I just want us to have a life together that doesn't revolve solely around our work. Now that I've figured out what's really important in life, I don't want to let you go, and I don't want to share you *too* much with the shelter. I'm willing to share you a little bit because I know you love the shelter...but not entirely. Does that make sense?" he asked.
Pressing a gentle kiss to his lover’s lips, Craig nodded. “It makes perfect sense,” he smiled. “The shelter is my job, but you….you, my are my love, my life. If you’re really serious about working there with me, we’ll put in normal hours, and not let it take over our lives like it has in the past few months. I think we can work everything out with John and not have to worry about someone calling every few hours or panicking because I’m not there to sign some damn form.”
David smiled, "Yeah, that always irritated me a little bit, it's good to be needed, but there is a line. I understand though, there was a time that I was the same way with my company. It was my life for so long, I spent all that time building it, shutting myself out from the rest of the world. Then I found you...and you, my love, turned my entire world on it's ear," he teased leaning in and nibbling on Craig's earlobe.
//’My love.’ He’s really not scared of using that word anymore. I wonder if he even has the slightest idea how much that one word means to me?// Slowly running his hands over the muscled planes of David’s body, Craig’s lips found the smooth, sleep-warm skin of his lover’s neck and gently drew it between his lips. “I plan on trying to turn your world on its ear for as long as I live,” he murmured softly as he gently marked his lover. “Because you’re *mine*, and I’m never going to let you forget that. *Ever.*”
David laughed and rolled over, pulling Craig on top of him. "Yours? I like the sound of that," he smiled as he stared into sparkling blue eyes. "So if I'm yours then I hope that means that you're mine...and that you will grant me permission to make love to the man that I love," he whispered feeling his arousal rub against Craig's hip.
Craig pressed his hips down, creating delicious friction for both his lover’s arousal and his own. “Oh, I’m defiantly all yours, handsome,” he grinned. “And I’m practically ready to beg you to make love to me right about now, so we don’t have *time* for permission.”
David gasped as Craig rubbed his body against him and rolled again, quickly pinning Craig under him. "Beg me to make love to you, huh? I don't think you'll need to beg," he whispered huskily as his lips sealed over Craig's in a deep kiss stealing both of their breaths away. After long moments David drew back and began kissing a trail down the smooth column of his lover's neck, to his collarbone and across to his shoulder and back again. Slowly moving down, his lips found a taut nipple and teased it with teeth and tongue gently and then moved to the other, lavishing it with the same tender attention.
His eyes fell shut, and Craig let his fingers tangle gently in his lover’s hair as David’s lips moved over him. He arched up into the warmth of David’s body and moaned deep in his throat. “God, love,” he whispered softly. His arousal was becoming harder by the second and his breath came in soft gasps as his entire world shrunk to include only him and his lover, a world where nothing and no one else mattered, or even existed.
Always loving the way that Craig reacted to his touch, David continued his mapping of his lover's body with soft kisses. Moving lower, he nipped and teased the warm skin of Craig’s stomach before sliding lower but all the while avoiding the straining arousal. Settling on his knees between Craig's legs David continued lower, kissing and licking the smooth skin of his lover's thigh and moving inward toward the hard length waiting there. After a long moment he licked from root to tip, tasting the slick fluid gathered at the tip. Slowly his lips sunk around the hard shaft until soft curls brushed against his nose.
Wrapping his fists in the sheets, Craig fought the urge to thrust into the wet heat surrounding his arousal. He opened his eyes and looked down, feeling his cock twitch in his lover’s mouth as he saw beloved lips stretched around his length.
David moved forward, taking the thick shaft deeper and swallowing around it, the muscles of his throat constricting around the hard length. Shifting slightly he reached over to the nightstand and retrieved the lube with a trembling hand, slicking his fingers even as his mouth and tongue continued to move around his lover's shaft. Slowly his slick finger circled the entrance before dipping inside, sliding in deep and curling to brush against his lover's sweet spot, his own cock already leaking against the sheets.
Craig’s entire body arched up from the bed, as the feel of his lover’s lips surrounded him and his body was slowly breached. Rotating his hips in small circles, he drove David’s fingers in deeper, trying to keep the pressure on his prostate as well as the delicious warmth around his length. This time yesterday, he’d had thought he’d lost David for good, yet now, here he was, being lovingly prepared, claimed, and, for the first time since he’d heard those three words he’d so longed for, to be made love to. “Please, love,” he whispered breathlessly. “I need you so much…please hurry.”
Craig's words seemed to go straight to David's cock causing it to twitch violently and he drew back and slipped a second finger alongside the first, stretching the tight ring of muscle until he felt it relax. His other hand trailed down and slicked his own length. He leaned up, releasing his lover's shaft after placing a final kiss to the tip as he sat back on his knees between Craig's legs. Positioning himself at the tight entrance, he pressed forward until just the head slipped inside. Pausing for only a moment he stared into Craig's sparkling eyes, "I love you," he whispered as he pushed deeper burying himself to the hilt. Resting his weight on his arms on either side of Craig's shoulders, David pressed his lips against Craig's and whispered again. "I love you so much."
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to hear you say that,” Craig whispered as he stared up into his lover’s eyes, loving the feeling of being filled completely and loved, finally loved, without reservation by the only person he’d ever wanted that from. His legs wound around David’s waist and he pulled him in even deeper, moaning as he was stretched and impaled by his lover’s thick shaft. “God, sweetheart, you have no idea how much I love you,” he said softly as he drew in a deep, ragged breath.
David's moan matched Craig's as he pulled him deeper, and tight muscles clenched around him. He smiled and kissed Craig tenderly as he began to move within his lover in slow deep thrusts. Drawing away from the kiss he buried his face against Craig's neck, licking and sucking on the smooth skin there, marking him gently as his hand moved down to cover Craig's that was wrapped in the bed clothes. Tangling his fingers with Craig's he continued to move, his pace gradually building. "So tight, so perfect, love," he gasped.
Craig held on to his lover’s hand tightly as his free arm wrapped around him and brought him closer. Arching his head back, he sighed softly as David lavished attention on his neck and continued to delve deep inside him. They moved together for long minutes, and Craig was reduced to nothing more than soft moans and whimpers as he was so thoroughly made love to, impaled again and again and drawing his lover in deeper with each thrust. “Yes, baby, God, yes, take me,” he whispered against David’s ear.
David moaned softly as Craig's words washed over him. Leaning up, he pressed a tender kiss against soft lips as he brought their joined hand down to wrap around Craig's leaking arousal trapped between them. His thrusts became deeper and more erratic as his need grew within him, like a fire growing low in his body and moving outward. Each thrust became deeper and faster as they moved, their hands moving in rhythm with their bodies. "God, Craig...please love, come with me," he moaned watching his lover's eyes darken with a mix of lust and love.
Craig pulled David down for a deep kiss and thrust up into their entwined hands at the same time. As their mouths sealed together, he closed his eyes and cried out his lover’s name, the sound, along with his very breath, lost in David’s mouth as his body convulsed around the thick column of flesh buried so deep inside him. His release spilled hot and slick between them as every muscle in his body spasmed and David’s arousal continued to thrust against his sweet spot, making his orgasm seem to go on forever. His body trembled with release long after their hands had milked him dry and he clung to David, continuing to move with him and draw him in deeper, knowing his release was near.
The feeling of Craig's muscles constricting around him sent David reeling over the edge, his own release following close behind Craig's. As the feeling slammed into him, David broke their kiss crying out his lover's name and wrapping his arm around him, pulling Craig even closer. The thought that he had nearly lost this incredible man in his arms struck him and he gathered him even closer pressing soft kisses against his neck. After long moments he shifted and slipped from his lover's body and settled beside him pulling Craig into his arms. "I didn't know the day that I met you that you would be all I would ever want, all I would ever need. I love you so much, and I didn't even believe that was possible. You are incredible, love, and I intend to never let you forget that," he whispered.
Craig nestled close and closed his eyes. “I’ve wanted to be all you ever wanted since the first time you kissed me,” he said softly. “You deserve so much better than me, sweetheart, but I can promise you that no one, ever, could possibly love you more than I do. And *I* intend to never let *you* for get that.” Leaning up on one elbow, he gently ran his fingers though David’s hair. “You’re just stuck with me, I’m afraid.”
David laughed and shook his head, "Well you are stuck with me too then. And I don't deserve better than you because there IS no one better. No one has ever affected me the way you do. You stimulate me on every level Craig...intellectually as well as physically. You make me laugh, and you make me feel so much more than I ever have. You taught me what love is," he whispered staring into his lover's eyes.
Craig rested one hand over David’s heart and smiled. “You always knew what love was,” he said softly. “You just didn’t know how to say it.” Crooking his leg to rest over his lover’s thighs he pressed a kiss to David’s cheek. “I know I wanted to hear the words, and I *never* want to stop hearing them, but you’ve made me *feel* loved since the first time you held me.”
David smiled and pulled Craig's hand up from his chest to kiss it gently. "There were moments when I didn't know what was wrong with me....it really was strange to *want* to be with someone the way I do you. If someone had told me a year ago I would be giving up my company to go work in a homeless shelter I'd have told them they were crazy. And I want you to know...well sounds funny but it's not just because of you that I want to work at the shelter. I really *do* want to be there and help, it's just a really wonderful benefit to have the man I love there too," David grinned.
“This from a man who thought every homeless person was a bum,” Craig laughed fondly, pressing his lips to David’s, then moving to nibble along his jaw line. He arched an eyebrow and winked at his lover, trying to look serious. “I’m thinking you’re right about remodeling the shelter too,” he said seriously. “And I’m thinking that we buy one of those couches that pulls out into a bed for *our* office. I mean, we’ll have the occasional down time, and I can get a good lock for the office door…and…well, I’ve always believed that office romances were good ideas…”
David laughed and nodded in agreement. "Yeah I think my outlook on office romances has changed too...so much has changed for me. Odd for someone who doesn't *do* relationships huh?" he teased. David's stomach growled loudly and he grinned, "You haven't packed up the kitchen yet have you?"
“The kitchen is still completely intact,” Craig laughed, moving down to place a kiss over David’s rumbling stomach. “And I’m not even going to unpack the boxes in the living room until we get back from our vacation.” Rolling out of bed, he held out a hand to his lover and helped him to his feet. “God, what is this we’re eating anyway? Lunch? Dinner? Post lovemaking snack?”
David laughed, "I have no idea." David pulled on his pants and walked up behind Craig wrapping his arms around him and kissing the back of his neck. "Come on, we can figure out where we will go on our vacation while we eat." Just the day before David had worried he would never again be like this with Craig, he was so happy that he had been given a second chance and he vowed to himself to never do anything to screw it up again.
Walking into the kitchen they started trying to figure out what to make. As Craig was looking through one of the cabinets David leaned against the counter for a moment and simply watched him. *This* was the life he had always wanted and didn't ever realize it. All those years trying to make a thriving business, and all of his success paled in comparison to standing in a small kitchen with Craig.
Finding nothing of interest in the cabinets, Craig began talking to himself and opened the refrigerator door. After a moment, he closed it with his hip, trying to juggle various meats, cheeses, soda cans and condiments, and turned to his lover with a smile. He stopped in mid sentence and almost dropped everything in the floor when he saw the bright, beloved blue eyes staring so tenderly at him. David’s thoughts mirrored his own, without the slightest doubt, and he quickly sat everything down on the counter and wrapped his arms around his lover. “I feel the same way, my love,” he said softly, nestling into the soft copper colored hairs that ran across David’s chest and seeing everything he’d ever wanted in the sparkling blue eyes. “I feel the exact same way.”
David hadn't said a word but some how Craig had known what he was thinking. Wrapping his arms around his lover he kissed his forehead tenderly. "Thank you," he whispered knowing that Craig would understand. After a few moments they drew apart and set to work making sandwiches together and spent the next few hours planning a vacation and their future together at the kitchen table.

Craig nestled close and closed his eyes. “I’ve wanted to be all you ever wanted since the first time you kissed me,” he said softly. “You deserve so much better than me, sweetheart, but I can promise you that no one, ever, could possibly love you more than I do. And *I* intend to never let *you* for get that.” Leaning up on one elbow, he gently ran his fingers though David’s hair. “You’re just stuck with me, I’m afraid.”
David laughed and shook his head, "Well you are stuck with me too then. And I don't deserve better than you because there IS no one better. No one has ever affected me the way you do. You stimulate me on every level Craig...intellectually as well as physically. You make me laugh, and you make me feel so much more than I ever have. You taught me what love is," he whispered staring into his lover's eyes.
Craig rested one hand over David’s heart and smiled. “You always knew what love was,” he said softly. “You just didn’t know how to say it.” Crooking his leg to rest over his lover’s thighs he pressed a kiss to David’s cheek. “I know I wanted to hear the words, and I *never* want to stop hearing them, but you’ve made me *feel* loved since the first time you held me.”
David smiled and pulled Craig's hand up from his chest to kiss it gently. "There were moments when I didn't know what was wrong with me....it really was strange to *want* to be with someone the way I do you. If someone had told me a year ago I would be giving up my company to go work in a homeless shelter I'd have told them they were crazy. And I want you to know...well sounds funny but it's not just because of you that I want to work at the shelter. I really *do* want to be there and help, it's just a really wonderful benefit to have the man I love there too," David grinned.
“This from a man who thought every homeless person was a bum,” Craig laughed fondly, pressing his lips to David’s, then moving to nibble along his jaw line. He arched an eyebrow and winked at his lover, trying to look serious. “I’m thinking you’re right about remodeling the shelter too,” he said seriously. “And I’m thinking that we buy one of those couches that pulls out into a bed for *our* office. I mean, we’ll have the occasional down time, and I can get a good lock for the office door…and…well, I’ve always believed that office romances were good ideas…”
David laughed and nodded in agreement. "Yeah I think my outlook on office romances has changed too...so much has changed for me. Odd for someone who doesn't *do* relationships huh?" he teased. David's stomach growled loudly and he grinned, "You haven't packed up the kitchen yet have you?"
“The kitchen is still completely intact,” Craig laughed, moving down to place a kiss over David’s rumbling stomach. “And I’m not even going to unpack the boxes in the living room until we get back from our vacation.” Rolling out of bed, he held out a hand to his lover and helped him to his feet. “God, what is this we’re eating anyway? Lunch? Dinner? Post lovemaking snack?”
David laughed, "I have no idea." David pulled on his pants and walked up behind Craig wrapping his arms around him and kissing the back of his neck. "Come on, we can figure out where we will go on our vacation while we eat." Just the day before David had worried he would never again be like this with Craig, he was so happy that he had been given a second chance and he vowed to himself to never do anything to screw it up again.
Walking into the kitchen they started trying to figure out what to make. As Craig was looking through one of the cabinets David leaned against the counter for a moment and simply watched him. *This* was the life he had always wanted and didn't ever realize it. All those years trying to make a thriving business, and all of his success paled in comparison to standing in a small kitchen with Craig.
Finding nothing of interest in the cabinets, Craig began talking to himself and opened the refrigerator door. After a moment, he closed it with his hip, trying to juggle various meats, cheeses, soda cans and condiments, and turned to his lover with a smile. He stopped in mid sentence and almost dropped everything in the floor when he saw the bright, beloved blue eyes staring so tenderly at him. David’s thoughts mirrored his own, without the slightest doubt, and he quickly sat everything down on the counter and wrapped his arms around his lover. “I feel the same way, my love,” he said softly, nestling into the soft copper colored hairs that ran across David’s chest and seeing everything he’d ever wanted in the sparkling blue eyes. “I feel the exact same way.”
David hadn't said a word but some how Craig had known what he was thinking. Wrapping his arms around his lover he kissed his forehead tenderly. "Thank you," he whispered knowing that Craig would understand. After a few moments they drew apart and set to work making sandwiches together and spent the next few hours planning a vacation and their future together at the kitchen table.
