Levi brushed his tongue and Mason moaned while chasing it. Levi wrapped his arms around Mason before pulling him closer.Right against that hard body. The gentle kiss changed in an instant. No longer holding back, Levi took control.

Holy fuck!

Levi kissed Mason like a man desperate and on the edge. He fucked into Mason’s mouth and there was nothing Mason could do except hold on tight. It wasn’t just his lips that moved. No, Levi kissed with his whole body. Hands moving, fingers drifting, and body swaying.

Mason was going to come! He was forced to pull back eventually but he wasn’t too steady. His knees shook as he panted. Breathing was a thing he had to do!

“Come inside,” he begged. He really, really, wanted Levi in his bed. And after that kiss…Levi would never leave it again.

Instantly he knew that he had said the wrong thing. Levi slowly blinked back into awareness before letting go of Mason and stepping away. Yeah, that had totally been the wrong thing to say.

Levi dropped his eyes, his shoulders rolling forward, while tucking in his chin.

Fuck! Mason walked down the steps before cupping Levi’s face. “It’s okay. You don’t have to.”

“I will if it’s what you want,” Levi said softly.

But it wasn’t what Levi wanted. Or needed.

Popping up to his tiptoes, Mason pecked a kiss to Levi’s mouth. “It’s okay. Maybe next time.”

Levi hugged him tight. “I don’t want you to think I don’t want—”

“I know,” Mason soothed. He could feel how much Levi did want. “I’m not mad.”

“If there is someone else—”

“No,” Mason assured him quickly. He gripped Levi’s chin, forcing those gray eyes to look at him. “I won’t lie and say I’ve been a saint. I might have a reputation or something.” Mason didn’t know what Levi might have heard about him in town. “I like to fuck. I’m not ashamed about that. I’m not going to hide my past from you.”

Levi nodded.

“But there’s been no one else since you opened that door nearly naked and I couldn’t get you off my mind.”

“Before when we were chatting—”

Yeah. Fuck. “I was fucking other men.”

Levi flinched.

“I’m sorry. You might decide you don’t want me because of this but at least I’ll know I was honest.” Honest about this one thing. Mason didn’t want any more secrets between them. “I was seeing other people from the app. After you disappeared, I had a week or two where I just about took anyone home that asked.”

“Okay.”

“I don’t cheat,” Mason said firmly. “I was single and might have tried to hide my loneliness with strangers. I always use condoms. I’ve always played safely.”

“I’m not judging you,” Levi told him. “I need clarification. I can’t…I don’t want to share you.”

“I won’t share you,” Mason retorted right back. He needed that known. For there not to be any mistake. They hadn’t even gone on one date, but Mason was obsessed with making Levi his and having the bigger man claim him.

“There is no one else,” Levi promised.

“I’ll hold you to that,” Mason said. He kissed Levi again. Levi shivered and Mason was pretty sure it wasn’t from his kiss but the cold instead. “Now head home so you don’t freeze.”

Levi smiled and this time it was him that leaned to kiss Mason. It wasn’t a brief kiss either. Levi kissed Mason like the man was starving for him. Mason would not complain about that. Wow, Levi and kissing… Just wow. After Levi pulled away, Mason’s lips still tingled.

“You’d better call me,” Mason said. “And text me. A lot. I miss our chats.”

“Okay.” Levi backed up slowly.
