Page 14 of Kitten Kisses

It all happened so quickly—within seconds, really—but for Alex, it felt like an eternity.

Alex shrieked as the front legs of the chair shot up, sending the whole thing careening backward. He just prayed the bruises on his face healed quickly, because he was heading straight for the exterior wall of the house.

Before he made contact, Slater yanked him backward just as the chair clattered to the floor.

“You really need those lessons.” Slater started to lower him down, but Alex latched onto him, his arms and legs wrapping around the guy.

“Where did it go?” He frantically scanned their surroundings for any sign of the raccoon. “Do you see it? Where is it?”

Slater’s voice was calm and low as he replied, “You scared Marbles away with all your yelling and thrashing.”

“I scared off the raccoon?” He stared incredulously at Slater.

Then Alex noticed the guy was once again giving him his undivided attention. Those bluish-green eyes were locked onto him, smoldering.

His breath hitched when Slater leaned in closer, as if he was about to kiss him.

Finally, Slater pulled him close and brushed his lips over Alex’s. The kiss wasn’t demanding, but it still ignited want and need inside him. His hands instinctively gripped onto Slater’s broad shoulders, feeling the hard muscles underneath.

This had to be a dream. No one kissed that damn good. God, how Alex missed this. It had been a good minute since he’d kissed a guy, and Slater made it worth his while. Alex even loved how the guy’s stubble scraped against his sensitive skin and caused an eruption of tingles across his face.

It was so easy to surrender to the sensation, to get lost in it as he felt Slater’s firm muscles under his hands.

Then the deputy pulled him even closer. The heat between them was consuming, and Alex couldn’t resist pressing harder into his embrace.

He groaned. The sensation of Slater’s warm breath on his skin sent waves of pleasure through Alex’s body. He had never imagined that such a simple act could be so powerful—so perfect.

Slater ghosted his lips over Alex’s his, and Alex was done for. He would give in to his man, just as long as Slater kept making tiny shivers race through him.

But Alex had thought the same thing about those amber eyes. Just like he’d wanted to surrender to that gaze, he wanted to do the same with Slater.

He arched his back, digging his fingers into Slater’s shoulders. His body hummed, the sensation intensifying as Slater trailed a series of moist kisses down his throat.

Alex didn’t even remember moving, let alone how they got into the living room, but the next thing he knew, Slater was easing him down onto the couch.

Mind lost. Caution thrown. Alex wasn’t sure if this was the right thing to do, letting whatever this was between them go this far.

All he knew was he wanted Slater pressing those massive muscles down on him, like he was at the moment, those muscular legs on either side of him, trapping him between them.

Hell yeah.

“What are you doing to do to me?” Alex ran his fingers over Slater’s throat. “You gonna give me some more of those mind-blowing kisses?”

“You like the way I kiss you?” Slater’s eyes lit up.

“You should try kissing yourself and you’ll see how addictive they are.”

“And how would I kiss myself?” Slater frowned playfully.

Alex smirked. “I guess I’ll just have to do it for you.”

Snaking his hands up Slater’s arm, Alex savored the feeling of flexing muscles under his palms.

“Then you better give me some kisses,” Slater let go of a playful growl, then slid his arms under Alex before pulling him closer to the man’s delicious heat. Slater’s sweeping tongue and soft lips were toe-curling.

Then he simply pulled away, leaving Alex confused as hell as he lay there aching, and wanting more.

Slater pressed his left knee into the cushions and planted his right foot on the floor. Now he was in the perfect position to stare down at Alex. Slowly, teasingly, Slater reached for the edge of Alex’s shorts.
