This is a short for my characters Jayden DeMario and Isaac Bridges from the book something About Jayden.
*****
Jayden ran downstairs, coat in hand to meet Isaac in his car. Excited, he picked up his step when he got closer to his building's exit. His heart thumped against his ribs and his mouth was dry from breathing so hard, he nearly choked on the cold air when he made it outside. Despite this, nothing would deter him from seeing the man he'd come to know as his lover, Isaac Bridges co-president of Bridges, Denton, and Associates. They'd been seeing one another for almost a year now and Jayden had higher aspirations of them taking their relationship to the next level.
Once he arrived at Isaac's black Lexus, he quickly knocked on the window. The brisk air chilled his bones, but he knew one kiss from his man would instantly warm him from head to toe. Isaac had that kind of effect on him and Jayden didn't mind saying he was whipped. He'd been enamored with Isaac Bridges from day one when he was an intern at the company and even when they separated for a millisecond, his feelings never waned.
"Hey babe." Isaac came around the car and pressed his thick lips against Jayden's. "How was work today?"
Jayden fell into his loving embrace and held on to Isaac's broad shoulders. Being this close to Isaac stirred feelings of desire inside of Jayden. "All right, but I'm more than ready to enjoy this time with you. It's been a long week."
Isaac opened the door and waved Jayden in. "That bad, huh? I told you your job is always open at the firm J. Just say the word."
"No." Jayden shook his head vehemently and looked away from Isaac. He refused to give him the satisfaction of being right about the small job at Rosario Furniture. They were running him ragged and not paying him enough for all he had done for them. Despite this, he was closer to his Madre as he'd wanted all along. Still, they'd definitely gotten their money's worth out of Jayden and more. Good thing his finances weren't an issue or he would've taken Isaac up on his offer.
"You sure? You're putting in long hours, sweetheart." Isaac hopped in the driver's seat and grabbed Jayden's hand. He frowned and rubbed his face against Jayden's fingers. "Babe where are your gloves? It's twenty degrees below freezing out here."
Jayden sucked in a breath and moistened his lips. Feeling Isaac's soft skin against his made his erection grow beneath his slacks. "I don't wear gloves when I'm driving, Isaac. And since I hardly ever leave the house, I actually have them in my closet. I'm fine, believe me. Let's just go. I'm ready to get our weekend started."
Isaac softly kissed Jayden's hands from tips to the knuckles. "So am I. It's been a week since we made love, babe." Isaac's hazel eyes met Jayden's.
"Yes I... I know." Jayden got lost in them and the beating in his heart picked up a pace or two. Staring at his man turned him into a puddle of mush, not able to form coherent words or thoughts. "That's too long if you ask me. I've missed you so much, Isaac."
Isaac smiled at him and pulled him in for another lip lock. "I've missed you too, lover. And like I said if you wanna come back..."
"No, Isaac." Jayden's brows furrowed and he reluctantly pushed him away. As much as he wanted to enjoy more making out in the front seat, he was ready to get going. Since he worked from his apartment, he desperately needed to get away from it so he wouldn't go stir crazy. "Drive."
Isaac chuckled and pecked him quickly on the mouth. "Yes, sir."
Jayden flashed him a wry smile and rubbed the inside of his thigh, very close to his crotch. "That's more like it." Occasionally he liked to talk tough to his man because he knew he could get away with it.
Despite this, Jayden knew who was in charge in bed. Isaac being the more experienced meant Jayden was following Isaac's lead. He didn't care because he loved Isaac with all his heart and considered him more than just the man he'd fallen in love with. Isaac was a mentor too, which made Jayden feel more comfortable not only with his sexuality, but also with himself.

When the light turned red, Isaac glanced over at Jayden. Instead of the fresh faced young intern he'd come to know and love while he worked at his company, he appeared to be worn out from the position he'd accepted at Rosario. Small dark lines surrounded Jayden's beautiful eyes and patches of stubble covered certain portions of his cheeks. More than a night of dancing, dinner, and making love he needed sleep.
And though Isaac wanted to have wild sex, he'd be content with putting his man in bed after a long, hot bath. Besides, a tired Jayden wouldn't enjoy everything Isaac had planned and they had the whole weekend to themselves.
"What?" Jayden clicked his teeth and yawned. "Don't look at me like that and not say anything."
Isaac tried figuring out the nicest way to put his concerns into words without hurting his man's feelings. Telling Jayden how his decision to work for a small company would be a mistake and he didn't want to start their rendezvous on the wrong foot.
"Babe, youβ" Isaac spoke then turned to look at Jayden, noticing he was already fast asleep. "You're exhausted. I told you that damn place was no good for you." While he drove, he reached over and gripped Jayden's hand and brought it to his lips. "I love you, Jayden DeMario. As soon as we get back to my place, I'm putting you to bed."
Jayden's lips formed into a smile, eyes still closed. A deep sigh escaped his mouth and he squirmed in his seat.
Isaac kept Jayden's hand in his and rubbed his own face. "We'll be home soon, love to get some rest. Then in the morning, your pretty ass is mine."

Only moments later, Isaac arrived in front of his suburban home. He put the car in park and killed the engine. "We're here, babe, but don't worry about walking." Isaac jogged around to the other side and opened the passenger door.
"Hmm? Oh dang, Isaac, I'm sorry for falling asleep." Jayden wiped the corners of his mouth.
Isaac leaned down and slid his hands underneath Jayden's buttocks. "It's not a problem, love. You need the rest." He lifted Jayden from the car seat.
"Isaac, you don't have to carry me in. I've got legs."
"I know you do, but you're tired." Isaac leaned in to Jayden and planted a soft kiss on his head.
"Not too tired to walk, but I have to admit, this is nice."
