"... That's what happened today," Maximillian ended his explanation with an exasperated sigh.
His beautiful lover, sprawled across the bed like the Goddess of Love came alive, squinted at him with an unreadable expression.
Maximillian tugged his tie loose and scooted closer to Julian.
"Are you upset?" he murmured, his voice a husky caress. He trailed a finger down Julian's spine in a languid movement, a silent question mark seeking an answer.
Julian responded by coiling his legs around Maximillian's back and drawing him close.
"I can survive for three days," he said with a sweet smile lacing his lips.
Maximillian exhaled in relief.
"Thank you," he whispered before pressing a kiss against Julian's lips.
"I know that I am asking for too much."
