Page 25 of Midnight Rain

Austin lowered his limbs. “Who said I was scared?”

He could just say his trembling was from the rain if Cormac pointed that out.

The guy moved closer, his wet-slicked body flexing as he moved. Austin was mesmerized, his eyes glued to Cormac’s hard pecs and chiseled abs. “Is this what you hand in mind?” he asked. “A game of chase?”

The forest no longer looked as threatening with Cormac there. Austin still didn’t understand why he trusted the guy so much when they’d just met. It baffled him, but he couldn’t deny that Cormac made him feel safe.

And horny.

Austin slid his hand over the bark of the nearest tree, his gaze sliding up and down Cormac. “You caught me. Now what are you going to do with me?”

The rain must have gotten into Austin’s ears because he swore he heard Cormac purr. “I plan to collect my prize.”

God lord. Austin had never played games like this with anyone else, and it was a huge turn-on. “What prize, jungle cat?”

The smile that spread across Cormac’s face was downright wicked. “Depends on what you’re willing to do.”

Austin’s brain was screaming for him to slow down and take a step back, that things were moving way too fast with Cormac, but his body wasn’t listening to a damn thing his brain was trying to say.

He strutted over to Cormac then slid his palm down the guy’s chest. The height difference had never been more noticeable than it was at that moment. Austin might not have gone for Cormac’s type in the past, but fuck if having a sexy giant in front of him wasn’t making him rock hard.

He reached up and curled his other hand around Cormac’s nape, pulling the guy down so he could whisper in his ear. Even in the darkened forest where the moon’s glow wasn’t as strong, Austin saw the desire flare in Cormac’s dark gray eyes.

“I could suck you off,” he whispered before he nipped Cormac’s earlobe. “Is that a worthy prize?”

“I’ll take whatever you want to give.” Cormac’s voice grew deeper, his breathing coming out in choppy pants.

Austin was unable to resist as he took possession of the guy’s lips, once again loving how Cormac’s facial hair scraped against his skin.

With a low growl, Cormac pressed his hands into Austin’s sides, gripping Austin as he devoured him. It was still the best kiss he’d ever had, and Austin leaned into it, gripping Cormac’s shoulder-length dark hair.

Austin had been dying to do that since their last kiss and loved how the strands felt between his fingers as Cormac bent him slightly backward, his tongue sweeping inside Austin’s mouth like it was demanding to taste every inch of him.

A soft gasp escaped Austin as Cormac bit down gently on his bottom lip, and he moaned when the guy soothed it with a lick.

“I want to feel you come apart in my arms,” Cormac murmured against Austin’s mouth. “Want to see that blush of yours deepen and consume your cheeks.”

Holy fuck.

Austin shivered, his body flushed with heat. He’d never been spoken to like this before, and it was getting him even harder. He was barely aware of their surroundings anymore, only vaguely registering the rustle of leaves and the small drops of water as Cormac backed him up against a tree. Then he lifted Austin off his feet, making Austin quickly curl his legs around Cormac’s waist.

“Will that pretty blush go all the way down your chest?” Cormac nipped at his jaw before working his way down, sucking on the sensitive skin just below Austin’s ear. The guy chuckled as Austin’s fingers tightened in his hair. “You taste like sin and sunshine. Do you know that? I want to devour every inch of you.”

Austin moaned, his head falling back against the tree with a thump as Cormac continued to tease and taste him. He had no idea what he was doing, didn’t even care that he was making a fool of himself. All Austin knew was that he would do anything to keep this feeling going for as long as possible.

“Is that what you want?” Austin asked, voice breathless and unsteady. He scraped his nails against Cormac’s scalp and tugged lightly on the man’s long hair. “For me to fall apart in your arms?”

Cormac pulled back enough to meet Austin’s gaze, that dark gray stare flickering with heat and lust. “Yeah,” he whispered. “That’s exactly what I want.”

“I thought I was supposed to give you a prize for catching me.” He tightened his grip on Cormac’s hair. “I was supposed to suck you off.”

Cormac grinned, a wicked glint in his eyes. “Oh, you will,” he promised. “But first, I’m going to make you come apart in the most delicious way possible.” He leaned in again, his lips brushing against Austin’s ear as he whispered, “I want to hear you scream my fucking name when you come.”

Austin was about to pass out at any second. He’d never had an aggressive lover, and who knew it flipped every trigger he possessed? His heart beat wildly as he nodded, unable to find any words as Cormac slid his hands over Austin’s body, setting his skin on fire. He felt like he was about to burst into flames at any moment, and he didn’t care. All that mattered was the feel of Cormac’s hands on him, the taste of his lips, the sound of his voice.

Cormac trailed his fingers over Austin’s chest, making him gasp and arch into the touch. He teased Austin’s nipples until they were hard peaks then leaned down to take one into his mouth. Austin cried out, his hips bucking as Cormac sucked and licked at him.

“Please,” he begged, not even sure what he was asking for anymore. He just knew he needed more, needed to feel Cormac inside him, needed to come undone in his arms.
