The next morning when Justin woke up, Jc was still wrapped in his arms.
"Don't get up," Jc whispered.
"Don't you have an inn to take care of?"
"Keri's here and I would rather stay right here with you."
Justin kissed his forehead softly. When he pulled back he was met with Jc's eyes and a smile on his face. He couldn't help but smile widely.
"You are so beautiful," he whispered running his fingers down Jc's cheek.
"Oh Justin...I have so many things I want to say to you but I'm worried it's too fast." He moved more into Justin's touch.
"You say them when you're ready. Is it too early to hear them from me?"
Jc's body shivered when Justin kissed behind his ear.
"No...you can say them." Jc struggled to get the words out. He wanted to hear them even though he was scared. "I...I need to hear them Justin. It's been a long time since I've heard them."
Justin nuzzled his nose against Jc's and they both closed their eyes. Their lips met in a tender and sweet kiss. Together they kissed slowly, letting their lips learn each other. How they felt, how they moved together, what felt good to each of them. But to both of them it felt like they were meant to be like this. To kiss like this and to hold each other.
"When was the last time?" Justin whispered.
"Over five years. It ended badly."
"I'm sorry."
Jc shrugged his shoulders. "It's in the past. It's just made me the sad grump that I am."
"How did he hurt you Josh?"
"I never felt love from him. It started off fast and heavy. Which I told myself I would never do again. But then I found out he was using me and stealing from the Inn. I called him out on it and then he hit me. That's how it ended."
Justin couldn't stop his eyes from widening in shock. He quickly pressed his lips onto Jc's and kissed him. God all he wanted to do was take his pain away.
"Don't feel sorry for me Jus."
"You're a strong man. And I'm going to give you everything he didn't. I'm going to show you love."
"Jus..."
"When we're ready," he added with another kiss.
"I could kiss you all day," Jc mumbled against his lips.
"We can."
Jc laughed along with Justin. It felt good to be like this. So happy and carefree with each other. Like they had known each other their whole lives. For the first time the inn wasn't on top of his list.
The two laid on the couch softly kissing and talking. Neither one wanted to move.
"I should make you something to eat."
"I should go shower and check my phone."
"Ok I probably should shower to," Jc whispered kissing Justin's nose.
"Meet back here in thirty."
"Yea."
Getting up off the couch Justin kissed Jc once more then smiled. Then headed for the door.
"Oh and Justin don't forget to grab your things."
Justin turned around and looked at him. Jc shrugged his shoulders.
"You didn't use your room last night. I'm not going to make you keep paying for a room you're not going to use."
"Are you asking me to stay with you?" He asked with a smirk.
Jc blushed and looked down at the floor.
"Don't be difficult," Jc said softly.
"I'll be back soon Josh," Justin said with a wide grin.
Justin couldn't help but run to his room. Quickly he showered and got his things together. When he was leaving his room he heard Jc talking towards the front. Putting his suitcases near the apartment door, he went towards the front. Greg, the mechanic was standing there talking with his man.
"Jc, what are you thinking? Give him his keys and send him home."
"Greg."
"He's bad news and you know it. He won't stay. He's a city boy. A city boy that will need to go home. Then that leaves you here alone. You will be alone Jc. You're always alone."
Justin watched the happiness drain from the older mans eyes.
"I'm telling you this as a friend Jc."
"I know."
"Back me up Tiffany."
"Greg, you"re meddling in his personal business."
"I am because you're a good man Jc. I've know you for a few long time, known your family a long time. He will only hurt you. Send him home and go back to your life."
"My sad pathetic life," Jc mumbled.
"I know it sucks Jc, but it's how it should be. You have this inn to look after it. It means everything to you."
"Ok."
Justin walked up confidently to them. Jc's eyes widened now knowing that Justin had just heard everything.
"Again, Greg, I don't think this is a matter that concerns you," Justin said crossing his arms.
"You are just going to walk all over him. That's all anyone ever does. Just leave."
"I don't know what's going to happen in a few days. I don't know how this is all going to play out, but that doesn't mean I'm just going to get up and leave. Leave the man I could be falling in love with."
Greg shook his head softly. He grabbed his hat and laid Justin's keys on the table. "You don't know him well enough to be in love."
"That's not for you to decide. Thank you for fixing my car. I will stop by later today and pay."
Greg gave his head a nod to them all and turned around to leave.
"I should go do some chores."
"Jc," Tiffany said stopping him. "Justin, take Jc back to his apartment."
"Ok."
"Tiffany I should..."
"You need to go and be with Justin."
Justin took Jc's hand and pulled them towards his apartment. When they were back and alone Justin faced him.
"Listen to me, please, Jc."
He looked up at Justin and nodded his head.
"I don't want to leave here. I don't want to leave you. And I sure as hell am not going to hurt you. You don't deserve to be alone. I hate that Greg said that's how your life should be because it isn't. When I told you I'm falling in love with you, I meant every word, Josh."
"I should take care of my Inn."
"Josh could you be in love with me? Could you love me?"
Jc looked down at the floor and he started to move away from Justin. But Justin lightly grabbed his arm, stopping him.
"Josh."
His head snapped up and he looked at Justin. "I could love you. That's what scares me, Jus. Now just let me go right now so I can take care of my business and think."
Justin sighed and let him go. He frowned watching Jc walk back to the front of the inn. Justin sat down on the couch and crossed his arms. He looked around trying to absorb what just had happened. As he looked around the small apartment he couldn't but notice how dark it was. The rest of the inn was so bright but here was so sad. He sat on the couch waiting.
Jc finally opened the door hours later. Justin never moved from the couch when he heard the door. He needed Jc to come to him.
Slowly Jc walked over to the couch and sat down. Justin only dared to look at him out of the corner of his eye. The light, the happiness Jc had, had in the morning when they were together was long gone. It was replaced with the same sad dark blues he had seen on the first night.
"I finished some things around the Inn and everything just feels wrong."
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to spend the day with you," Jc said quietly reaching over and taking Justin's hand. He couldn't help but bringing it up? letting it warm his cheek.
"We can spend the rest of the day together," Justin said rubbing his finger along Jc's cheek bone.
Jc sighed against Justin's touch. He moved closer and laid his head on his shoulder.
"When are you leaving Justin? I have to know. I need to be prepared for it."
Justin looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath. He put his arm around Jc and held him close.
"I don't know Josh. The thing is, I don't want to leave. I know I will have to go home eventually but you have to know this. I don't want to leave you." Justin kissed the top of Jc's head.
Jc took a deep breath. "If you have to leave I will understand. I know I can't ask you to stay. I don't have anything I could offer you."
Sitting up a little Justin made sure he and Jc were looking at each other. He took his hand and placed it on his cheek then leaned close, kissing him softly.
"You, are all I need, Josh. Just you."
Jc pressed his lips to Justin's, desperately kissing him.
Their tongues touched sending them both sparks. In minutes Justin was laying on top of Jc as he sucked on his tongue. They could feel that they were both hard.
"Tell me to stop," Justin gasped for breath, pulling away from Jc's lips but kissing down his neck.
Jc's brain was struggling. His heart was saying one thing and his cock was saying another. Most of him didn't want Justin to stop.
"I...I don't want you to stop. Not yet."
Justin's lips found Jc's again and plunged his tongue into his mouth to find Jc's. Jc's hands found Justin's ass giving it a tight squeeze. He moaned loudly into Jc's mouth, grinding his hips with his. Justin didn't know how much more he could take of this. He wanted to go further but he knew Jc wasn't there yet.
"Justin," Jc exclaimed pulling away.
Standing up Justin fixed himself then looked down at Jc. Jc looked up at him. He got up to his feet and placed his hand on Justin's cheek bringing him into a kiss. When he pulled back he smiled. Making Justin smile.
"Let's just be us for a few days. Just give us a few days Justin."
"I'm not leaving. I want to stay with you," he said, rubbing his nose against Jc's.
Jc gripped Justin's waist and they stood there, their bodies flush against each other just happy and content. As they stood there being close Justin watched as Jc's eyes turned soft and happiness filled them again. He couldn't help but smile.
The next few days they spent together Justin helped with the Inn. Jc showed him the ropes of what it took to keep his Inn going. Justin enjoyed every minute.
They got closer every day to the point where they were inseparable. Neither of them could stand being far away from the other. They even went out to the mountain again.
Tiffany and Keri were so happy for their boss. They enjoyed seeing him happy. It was nice for a change.
