NEAR KISS.

Chapter: 7.

*****

The young man had just come out of the car and the skyscraper he saw took his breath away. The glass building shimmers and winked in the golden sun. He looked around but he couldn't see beyond what his eyes could, so he just made his way to the entrance double doors. Two hunk security men stood tight at the doors, their massive muscles rigid and visible in their uniform and as he neared them, one smirked at him and Adrian smiled back before he disappeared into the huge office space. He could feel thousands of questioning glares thrown at him as eyes from every angle met his. Adrian tried to put himself in order as he made his way to the lady sitting at the front desk. 

"Hello." Adrian greeted and she looked up from her computer to smile at him, her tick red lipstick made her lips look as if it's painted with blood. 

"Hey, you're Adrian, I love your picture with Billy." She admired the boy. Adrian felt weirdly happy. "So, you're here to see the Boss." That wasn't a question but Adrian's head bobbed up and down in response. "He's waiting for you, this way please." She got up from her chair and made the quick turn around from the desk to meet Adrian and together they both walked down the hall. Adrian didn't get to see much of the place as he was trying to keep up with the almost running lady. They got to a gold elevator and she punched a button, the door soon slides open and they both walked in. "I'm sorry, but I promise to give you a tour some other time, the Boss instructed that you be brought to him immediately." Her words stopped in time for the elevator doors to open and they met another beautiful hallway. "This is the twenty-first floor and this whole place is for the Boss so whenever you need him this is where you need to come." She knocked on a door that has E.Wealths written in gold on it. 

"Come in!" The voice he knew all too well called out and she pushed the door open and invited Adrian in. 

"My name is Bianca." She whispered into his ears and then turned around and left. 

Adrian stood there watching the busy man signing documents. 

"Hello, Adrian." The man greeted without looking up from the papers. "You smell so nice." He rasped as if he was trying to control his breathing. 

Adrian's eyes were transfixed on the gorgeous man, his breathing heavy and emotions running wild inside of him.

Elijah could feel the younger man's emotions, his hungry eyes burning desires so intense straight into his body. He was trying miserably to finish with the papers but even his fingers were starting to shiver and his eyes falling shut of their own accord. 

"Look at me." Adrian couldn't believe he had actually said that and Elijah just as a man bonded by the spell, got up and made his way towards Adrian.

Standing face to face with the younger boy Elijah almost moaned out loud. "I've been distracted since the moment I met you." He whispered and Adrian averted eye contact and rather found his eyes on the older man's crotch and he could swear he saw a bulge raising in the other's pants. 

"Your voice has had me all kinds of confused since the very first day I heard you speak and each time I hear your voice I am a big pile of mess." Adrian couldn't believe he was really speaking without stuttering or making a fool of himself, as usual, rather he was calm. 

"Not as big a mess as I always end up whenever I found myself staring into your eyes. They are dominating, intense, captivating and I couldn't help but feel entrapped by them," With each word that left the other's mouth, Adrian could feel his emotions spiraling out of control. "And my body responds to you in ways that it fears me," With eyes searching each other's souls, Adrian closed the last gap between them. "Nothing else matters when I look into those eyes-" Elijah growled as Adrian slammed their lips together in a kiss that curled his toes and turned him into jelly. Adrian moaned at his effect on the man. He was much smaller compared to the sexy godlike Elijah and yet as they kissed, Elijah fell lax into his hands and he kissed him with all that he was worth.

Adrian only kissed one boy when he was fifteen and it was horrible. But the kiss he shared with the man, was starting to drive him overboard and in no time, he was pushing Elijah backward until he had the older man pressed up against his table without warning, Adrian thrust his tongue into Elijah's, and the man willing opened up for him and let him tongue Elijah in ways that drove the man crazy. Like, two hungry predators, they tugged at each other's clothing and the materials came flying around the room. Naked from the waist up, Adrian pushed his flushed body up against the other man erupting a loud groan from Elijah…

"Adrian?" 

"Adrian?!" 

The boy opened his eyes and jumped, John was standing too close to him and his eyes were the first Adrian saw as his own eyes shot open. 

"OH MY GOD!!' He yelled and pushed the man away from him, he ran but stumbled on his feet as he tumbled out of the car.

"We are at the hospital, you wouldn't wake up and I could hear you moaning, too loud!" The man laughed at Adrian's flushed face. 

That was a fucking dream! Adrian screamed in his head. He was looking down at his crotch and for once he didn't feel terrible, otherwise, it would have been a bulging hard rod poking out from his torn pants right now and not to mention a lot of wet stains to deal with too.

Now, wouldn't that be the best way to walk into a hospital and meet Jonathan with it, or even better, he might be rushing into the hospital restroom to get off first. 

Fuck!!" He yelled. 

"Whatever dream it was you were having must be extremely hot!" John shook his head and laughed again. 

"Shut up, John." Adrian found himself laughing too when Billy prods him on the leg. "Come on, Billy." He ran into the lobby with Billy fast behind him.

The beautiful receptionist lady had just told him what room Jonathan was in and he and Billy had soon found themselves staring at the white door. Billy scratched at the door and Adrian pushed it open with a smile. 

"Adrian!" His excitement was evident in his tone the moment the older man caught sight of Adrian. "I only just saw you with a dog on TV a minute ago!" The man sat up on his bed to embrace Adrian who had run into him. "I missed you too, son!" He replied to the unspoken word from the younger man. 

Adrian finally let go of the man and sat up straight on the soft bed. 

"Where is the dog?" Jonathan asked. Adrian looked around the room but didn't find the dog anywhere, he had only stood back on his feet when the half-closed door pushed open and in walked Billy with the bunch of flowers Adrian had bought for the sick man. He's forgotten it in the car after having been woken up from that embarrassing dream. Billy came forward and gave the flower to Jonathan who took it with a smile and a kiss on the dog's fur. Billy whimpered gratefully before jumping on the bed and taking his place alongside Adrian. "How did this happen?" The man asked. 

"I got the job to pet-sit, Billy here!" Adrian proudly told him as he ran his hands through the dog. 

"I have always known you will end up in the right place, my child." Jonathan was very happy with the boy. He's always believed in the young man. He was hardworking and very diligent. "How is your new Boss?" Jonathan asked with a warm smile. He didn't fail to notice the boy's face heating up and his eyes glued on his shoes. He took his time to examine the boy with a knowing smile starting to form on his lips he whispered, "You're in love!" Jonathan couldn't conceal his emotions.

"No, no, I'm not!" Adrian denials, he still wouldn't look Jonathan in the face. "You do know he's a married man and he's as straight as the day is long," Adrian whispered.

"Alright young man, I won't argue with you." Jonathan chuckled.

"How are you?" Adrian changed the subject. The room was starting to heat up.

"Never been better, I will be going home soon, but I will be taking home lots of instructions based on thousands of things to do and to eat and, doctors are unbelievable!" The man held a malicious glint in his eyes as he laughed. 

"And you must keep to all of them!' Adrian replied with a stern glare. 

Jonathan looked at him incredulously and soon they both burst out laughing. 

After visiting hours were over, Adrian and Billy bid their farewell to the older man as they left. Back in the car on their way home, Elijah was calling Adrian's work phone.

Adrian smiled, he remembered asking Jessica if she had gotten a working phone too when she started to work here but she said no and that he may have gotten one because Elijah would always like to check in on his favorite dog but Adrian couldn't help but wonder if there was more to it.

"Where are you?" He sounded vexed on the phone and yet his voice still affected the younger boy. 

"On our way home," Adrian replied. 

"Are you alright?" The stern voice now seems concerned and Adrian stifled a laugh. 

"Yes, Sir, I am." He replied. 

"No, Sir! Just Elijah." He reprimanded him for the millionth time. He didn't like the boy addressing him as Sir or Mr. It just didn't feel right hearing that from Adrian.

"Elijah." Adrian corrected and he could swear he heard the older man groan into the receiver thus awakening something inside of him. 

Elijah loved the sound of his name from the boy and he wanted to hear him say his name one last time.

"Hello?" Adrian asked when Elijah didn't say any more words, he even looked at his phone to be sure they were still connected and when he saw that they were he whispered, "hello!" but again, he was met with stubborn silence. "Elijah?" He asked into the receiver and the call came to an abrupt end. 

Elijah fell back into his bed and shut his eyes, he felt his erection stirring and his heart raising rapidly, he reaches for his fly and in no time he was grasping his member in a tight hold, endorphins rushed into his brain as he thrust his hardness into the ball of his fist. Adrian was driving him insane and he just didn't know how much longer he could continue to hide these burning desires that threatened to devour his body and soul.

Adrian had just passed through the skyscraper that was Elijah's Office and he remembered his dream from earlier that day. He had only been there once but never in Elijah's office but somehow he was in that office in his dream.

They made a quick stop at the studio to collect Billy's appointment for next week before they resumed their journey back home. 

To say that Adrian was shocked when he saw Elijah standing in front of the gate waiting on their return would be an understatement. The man stood there waiting for them and Billy soon saw him and went on barking for the doors to be opened for him. John pulled up and Adrian opened the door for the excited dog. The happy dog scampered out to go hug his master. 

Elijah's laughter filled the evening air as Adrian came down to greet the man. 

"I missed you." He heard Elijah say, he gasped, but soon realized that Elijah was talking to Billy. Adrian felt stupid, he just ignored them and made his way to the worker's lodge. "Wait!' Elijah yelled out and Adrian halted.

Elijah came to stand in front of him and very gently reaches for the boy's face, Adrian's eyes peered into his soul and Elijah felt his legs weaken. The boy affects him in more ways than one and once his hand rests on the boy's face, Adrian shut his eyes, just a small skin contact set both men aflame with sensation. That simple touch sparked a fire of needs down to the very depth of their souls. 

"Adrian," Elijah whispered, just a few days with the boy and he was already hell-bent on ruining his life. He was certain he wouldn't let any harm come to the boy.

"Elijah," Adrian called ever so softly.  Elijah smiled and Adrian closed the little gap between them just as he had done in his dream. He pushed up on his toes as their faces inched closer and then he was going in for that kiss...

"Daddy!!" 

Billy barked and Elijah shoved Adrian aside to run over to a limo that was just pulling in, two happy children waved at their father from the open windows.

Adrian who had almost fallen on his ass by the force of that push glared at Elijah's parting back with annoyance.

The man had opened the limo doors and was hugging both kids while they all laughed as if he wasn't about to kiss him a minute ago.

A very gorgeous brown-skinned woman stepped out of the car and Elijah had her wrapped in his arms in no time and their lips locked in a kiss that had the kids yelling "gross!" at their parents.

The man had just pushed him away as if he was a piece of trash to be thrown aside. 

Maybe that was all he was to the man.

A piece of trash.

What was he thinking trying to kiss him?

Heck, what was he thinking letting feelings grow for the man?

Elijah could and would never be his and not just because he was rich or married or had kids but because even if Elijah went out with him, the man may never approve of what he has on the inside.

Adrian hung his head low in shame as he walked into the gates.

He needed a long resting nap.

He needed to forget.

To not feel.
