“You know what kept me from saying it sooner?” he asked.
“What?”
“I was scared I was wrong. I was terrified I’d ruin our friendship because I was seeing things that weren’t there, feeling things I didn’t understand. I doubted myself, even though I knew with every fiber of my being that I was in love with you.”
“Are you still afraid that you’re wrong?”
He smiled, some of his usual smirk back. “No.”
“Good.”
“So, circling back to what we were talking about before my accidental declaration.” He pushed his hips out, letting me feel his half-hard dick. “I still want you to top tonight.”
“Are you still feeling apprehensive?” Running my fingers down his arms, I gently took his hands in mine.
“Not as bad as before, but yeah.”
“I have an idea.” Stepping back, I tugged him away from the door.
“What’s that?”
“Do you have any toys?”
He did a little shuffle step, like he was catching himself before tripping. “Toys?”
I nodded.
“A few. What kind?”
“Do you have a plug?”
“A plug?” he croaked. “Ahem.” He cleared his throat. “I mean, a plug?” he asked in a normal voice. “No.”
“I have a new one at home.”
“You do?”
“I do. We don’t have to use it, but it might help.”
His cheekbones flamed pink. “Yeah, we can give it a try. I need to…take care of some stuff first.” He rolled his eyes. “I don’t know why I’m using euphemisms. You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
“I do.” I leaned in and dropped a kiss against his lips. “How about you go get ready, and I’ll run next door and grab it.”
“Okay. I’ll meet you in my room when… You know what? I’m going to stop talking and just go do what I need to do.” He pecked a kiss against my lips.
Before I could answer, he ducked away and did a little sashay, his hips swinging provocatively as he headed toward his room. He tossed a wink over his shoulder. “Hurry back.”
I traced my gaze over his full ass and his thick thighs. “You’re killing me.”
“You’re not leaving,” he sing-songed over his shoulder.
“Not with that view.”
His laughter filled the foyer as he disappeared into his great room.
With my dick aching and my balls already heavy, I hurried out of his house. If he was going to trust me to top him, then I was going to do everything in my power to make sure I made it as good for him as possible.
