Free All I Desire is Steven by James L. Craig

All I Desire is Steven
    It was another long day at the clinic. Steven worked at the front desk, so he was always one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. Whether it was making appointments, processing payments, or dealing with the sick patients, he found himself very busy. Although Steven liked his job to a certain degree, he couldn't help but feel like something was missing. He worked so hard each day that he was too tired to do anything but go home and go to sleep. No personal life, no children and no close friends. It was just work and sleep with some quick meals in between.
    One Friday morning Steven was running late. He had overslept, and knew that if he got behind on his routine tasks he would have a hell of a time trying to catch up, not to mention the extra burden it would put on his coworkers who also worked at the front desk. Running a red light and breezing past a stop sign, he quickly swung into his space in the parking lot of the clinic.
    Steven jumped out of his car and hurried to the door but just as he reached to grab hold of the glass door, he lost his footing and fell. He lay there for a moment and moaned in pain. While he tried to get up, a man who saw him fall from inside the clinic quickly rushed out.
    "Are you okay?" the man asked while he reached out his hand to help Steven up.
    "Nope, I've fallen and I can't get up," Steven said sarcastically as he remained on the ground for a moment. The man chuckled. Steven grabbed the man's hand and couldn’t help but gasp when he saw the face of his helper. He was taken aback by the man's sheer beauty. A tall black man with green eyes and a caramel complexion; he had strong facial features and a muscular frame that showed even through his clothes. Steven stared in awe for a moment before speaking again.
    "Thank you," Steven said while he brushed the dirt off of his clothes. "I'm running a bit late, and I guess I lost my balance."
    "Well, I'm just glad you are okay," the man said, flashing a perfect smile. Steven looked at the beauty that was the man's face and then looked away as he felt a feeling of nervousness come over him.
    "I… I am," he said, smiling down at the ground. Steven tried to look at anything but his tall savior. However, the gorgeous stranger continued to smile at him as if waiting to make eye contact. After a few moments of awkward silence, Steven turned his attention toward the glass door and walked inside the clinic, followed in by the stranger. He sat behind the desk and signed on to the computer. He began to get himself together, but as he did he realized that the man was still standing by the door. Steven tried not to notice, but after a few moments Steven could no longer ignore the man.
    "Can I help you?" Steven asked. Patients usually went to the waiting area and sat down after checking in, so he wondered why the man was still standing there.
    The man shook his head. "Oh, no I am just waiting for Dr. Russell."
    Steven nodded and began to get to work, however as he tried to focus on his work he became aware that the man was still looking at him with a huge smile on his face. Steven tried so hard to be oblivious but a smile couldn't help but escape from his face at the flattering sensation of having someone notice him. After a few more moments of trying to dodge eye contact with the sexy stranger, Steven just gave in and looked into the man's eyes, waiting to see what it would lead to.
    They had a slight staring match that only ended when the man walked up to the desk.
    "I'm James Russell," the man said as he held his hand out.
    Steven smiled. "Steven," he said and shook it. James's grip was strong and masculine. Steven felt overpowered by a simple handshake. Even so, he couldn't help but get somewhat turned on as he turned his attention from James's hand to his beautiful eyes. James was still looking at him and flashing that gorgeous smile. Steven looked into his eyes losing himself; only to be brought back to the present by
