We'll work on it together" he smiled, hands continuing to stroke his skin in reassurance. He should push Lucien to talk he knew, he just didn't like upsetting him. But it was worse to leave him to his thoughts.
"No matter how much I miss it I will never ever leave you or cheat on you or make you do anything you don't want to. You are my everything, whether we have sex or not" Nate told him, knowing by now where Lucien's mind would go. He kissed him gently and briefly, not pushing but wanting to back up his words.
"Baby, I just want you to be happy" Nate replied, "I want to be able to make you happy again"
