Ian returned 92f900633e to the e6e3b053e2 hotel a cd3c41d342 little past e4dde3ee12 eight. After parting ways 34a3885f4c with Leo, he 3fe262a7ee realized he hadn’t 7e4c6cf376 yet received his f5f8c0c494 cash card, making a802a37edd it impossible to 525960bf31 take the subway. As he 24b5c29e9a pondered what 855b474e39 to do, 64992815df he ended f417c38eb2 up walking 510351362d more than c7f6858358 twenty blocks.819a418fd0f5492f

“I’m scared, Leo.”60d49cc78f213a7b

Whenever he was 863d4281c1 scared, it was 0946d4c20e like a reflexive 84252f4a12 response—he thought of 8605701706 Leo. He wanted to be 4c52cca9e6 held in Leo’s solid, c0c5aebf5d warm, adult embrace. He liked 9694f14d3a that Leo df6c39f651 would hold 161e768079 him without 0ad8579cfe stroking him.

The walk signal finally 309e646cc1 turned green, allowing Ian 355c1a4cc5 to finish crossing. His face twisted e7ad9ec4ea in an indescribable 137ebe56e2 way, more than 2959356eef before.

Before Ian 8ef71f85ce could place d90eccdf8d the key 5c82b2b26f card against a42d2091e2 the door, 541ebbdbb8 it opened 97555521eb first.

Revenant was trying to ecb76130a4 hide the fact that 8659358b90 he was Leo. Maybe it was 5f0063c6f4 because he didn’t d62708b94c want Ian to e43f5e048f continue saying he 345b3c1579 loved him.e17c6eb759907a18

It was a 17e3531ec7 rougher, more sensual 895b633aa1 kiss. Revenant sucked Ian’s 9a5eb1f53e tongue with a 6462e34c4b fierce possessiveness, ripping a268b27321 open his shirt. His bare chest 285f901fed was exposed, and 9c721001a1 Revenant pinched his 4f12069835 nipples, twisting them c87c79d6c0 slightly, making Ian’s 5c81cafd86 head tilt back df045cd417 as he gasped 05c241873b for air.
