“I’m afraid,” Oliver whispered. Victor hummed in agreement, but he didn’t move, and he didn’t look up. “What if it’s never like this again?
After a long beat, Victor’s fingers found their way back under Oliver’s shirt, pressing a flat palm over his left pec, thumbing at his nipple. It sent tiny pulses of pleasure through him, but not enough to want to chase them, so he let himself bask.
“You’ve inspired poetry in a man who thought he was dead inside,” Victor whispered. “And you’ll do it again.”
Oliver shook his head, and when Victor finally looked up, Oliver traced his furrowed brow with two fingers. “I’m not worried about other men. There’s going to be someone out there who sees all of me—not just the way I look or that I like lace panties.” He rolled his eyes on those last two words. “I’ll meet someone who sees me as a man with substance, worth loving.”
Victor cocked his head to the side. “So what are you afraid of?”
“That I won’t be able to see them the same way because my heart left the city the day you left.”
