Breathing heavily, Luca slips off his watch and places it on one of the nightstands. “Good to know.”
He goes into the bathroom and closes the door. It feels like a slap in the face. Even though I don’t know what the hellIwant.
I glance at the king-size bed thinking we need a pillow wall to stop wandering hands in the middle of thenight from finding their way around swollen dripping cocks from wet dreams.
When Luca comes back into the bedroom, I can’t help but keep talking to the guy. “Look. I guess I’m not a cuddler.”
Luca laughs, strutting to his suitcase. Folding his pants on a hanger, he says, “I kick in my sleep, so good thing.”
“Face away from me then, if you can.” I laugh, too. “I kind of need all my limbs unbruised.”
“No problem. I’m gonna take a quick shower.”
While he’s in there, I get into bed, still naked. If he comes back to bed wearing briefs, we’re safe.
Yeah right.
I lay on my back, heart still pounding. I just kissed my bodyguard. A man.
And I fucking loved it.
Not sure how much time has passed, but I go on spiked alert feeling the mattress dip. Twisting, I say, “Is that side okay?”
Fuck, he’s naked... I keep my eyes on his, though.
“I’m a single guy, there’s no side really. It’s all the same.”
“Okay.” I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I realize I’ve been clinging to one edge.
Why do I do that? Had Uncle Harris snuck into my bed after that trip and raped me again? Had I blocked it all out?
Fuck, all these memories are finding their way back and I hate it.
I shake them off and turn away.
Luca is a manwhore who uses clubs and doesn’t need a mess of a guy mooning over him.
TWENTY-TWO
Luca
My heart pounds in such a chaotic rhythm, I fear I might code right here in the bed. IkissedMax Ryan. While he jerked off. We jerked off together. After years obsessing over him, wondering, and hoping, I got my wish. He wants me.
It feels surreal.
He’s all I want. All I think about. Obsess about.
Here we are.
Fuck, that was a great kiss. Fresh and sincere. Not practiced or going through the motions. For a guy who’s never kissed a man, he was fantastic. His lips were firm and warm, opening and closing with no hesitancy.
Max swallowed my moans, and I didn’t feel ashamed, showing what he did to me. He’s so new at this, I have to take it slow. Whatever the hell ‘it’ is.
Max faces away from me and man, that stings. Guess I’m notgood enoughto cuddle. What the hell am I saying?
I lift the top cover, keeping a sheet between us. Like that would stop my cock from punching a hole in one flimsy layer of cotton to fuck him if he begged me.
Christ, this is going to be a long postseason.
