Page 6 of The Heart of Moonlight Falls

“Hey, there.” He wiggled closer to James, who’d gotten under the covers with him.

“How are you feeling?”

“Much better. My head is clear.” Sebastian ran his hand over James’s bare chest. “You got undressed.”

James wore only his boxer briefs, the same as Sebastian. “I wasn’t going to wake you up right away.”

“Mm,” Sebastian hummed. “What were you going to do?” He bit his bottom lip and raised his eyebrows.

James shook his head and attempted to repress a grin. “I was going to hold you. Maybe stroke your hair.”

“My sweet James.” Sebastian pressed closer. “But now that I’m awake, we can get more creative than that.”

“Can we?” James tried to play it coy and failed. Sebastian turned him on so damn much, and coming so close to losing him made James yearn for every bit of closeness they could have.

Sebastian hitched a leg around James. “I’m thinking yes.”

James threaded his fingers through Sebastian’s curls and took his mouth in a deep kiss that wasn’t just about sexual attraction but connection. James needed to release all his feelings. He needed to kiss Sebastian roughly and give him all his affection, knowing it always made Sebastian moan and melt in his arms. “Tell me what you need, sweetheart.”

Sebastian whined, his cock hardening against James’s stomach. “What about what you need, James?”

“I’ve got it right here. Need to make you feel good.” He kissed down Sebastian’s neck, just how he liked.

“You always do.” Sebastian arched into him. “But we always do what I want. What about you?”

James paused. He wanted to please Sebastian, to show him he was chosen and cherished. But James knew what Sebastian meant. He almost always deferred to Sebastian when choosing how they came together.

“How can I take care of you tonight?” Sebastian slipped his hand into James’s boxer briefs and cupped his balls, then slid his hand up to grip James’s growing erection.

Their eyes locked, and Sebastian waited, stroking lazily. What did James want, and why did asking for it make him feel so exposed?

James pushed his hesitation away and let his imagination take over. An erotic image filled his mind, and he knew he needed it to become a reality. “Would you fuck me?” he breathed.

Sebastian’s grin turned wicked. “I’d love to. I didn’t realize you were interested in bottoming.”

“I don’t do it often.” James’s cheeks burned. “Besides, I like giving you what you want, and I know you like me fucking you.”

Sebastian cocked his head. “Is that why you haven’t asked to bottom before?”

James shrugged. It wasn’t quite the reason. “I like giving you pleasure. But, um… I have to be in the right mood to want someone fucking me. It has to be with the right person.”

Sebastian smiled at that, not a hint of mischievousness in sight. It was all tender affection. “I get that.” He pressed his lips close to James’s ear. “Fucking you would give me lots of pleasure.”

James swallowed. “Yeah. I hope it would.”

Sebastian ran a hand down James’s body. “And are you in the right mood, babe?”

“Yes, I am,” James rasped. His eyes fluttered closed for a second, and he let how much he wanted this consume him.

Sebastian hummed. “I like it when you tell me what you want. When you ask for things.”

Of course Sebastian would like that. James was practically addicted to the reverse. And lying here, pressed together, the way Sebastian looked at him, James liked this just as much. He could do with more of it in his life.

James had slowly opened up and was ready to throw the doors wide open. He didn’t have to worry about rejection or judgment with Sebastian. He could let go of all the reserved pieces of his personality he’d used to protect his heart and express any desire he had.

“I liked it when you played with my hole,” James confessed.

“Mm. I could tell.” Sebastian tugged James’s underwear off, then removed his own. “Want me to do it again?”
