Greg had been working in his study all day, going over investments and accounts to ensure everything was as it should be. When he heard Kevin come home he smiled knowing it wouldn’t be long until he had his lover in his arms again. But his smile turned to a confused frown when he heard the shower go on in their room. That wasn’t usual and he knew something must be wrong though he didn’t know what yet. Closing down his laptop he made his way upstairs, stopping by the kitchen to say he would take care of dinner that evening before entering the room. He found Kevin standing there looking lost and his collar, hateful thing that it was, flung to the far corner of the room.
Something had happened but Greg wasn’t sure Kevin would tell him yet, he could smell a heady combination of need, confusion and desperation on him. Moving forward he wrapped strong arms around him and kissed him, he knew Kevin would tell him what he needed with or without words.
