Page 14 of Virgin Skin

“Such as…sex.” I rush the word out and then risk a glance at his face again to see his reaction.

His second eyebrow has joined the first, halfway to his hairline, but the horror I expected to see in his expression isn’t there. If anything, his eyes are smoldering even more intensely at me than they were before, and the muscle in his jaw is working like he’s fighting the urge to say a hundred things at once. Relatable, honestly.

“Jesus, Mi, please tell me your plan last night wasn’t to pick up some random guy at a bar to lose your virginity to.” His voiceis low and gruff now, and it fucking does things to my insides, making them all molten hot and electric.

I hum noncommittally. “Turns out you weren’t that random though,” I joke, then drop my smile when he doesn’t laugh. “I chickened out anyway, didn’t I?”

He huffs, his nostrils flaring.

“Your first time shouldn’t be like that. It should be special. It should at least be with someone you know.”

I roll my eyes. “Yeah, yeah.” I wave dismissively. “I’m just sick of being the only twenty-eight-year-old gay dude alive who’s never even sucked a dick.”

Piston’s face twitches and twists like his expression can’t quite decide between pained and amused before he groans.

“You’re killing me right now.”

“What? Why?” I cock my head, no longer tracing his tattoos, now just fully holding on to his arm.

He laughs weakly. “You’re not the only twenty-eight-year-old virgin alive, first of all.”

I make a vague noise in my throat, not agreeing with him, but not exactly arguing either. When he doesn’t say anything else, I ask, “Is there a second of all?”

“Yeah. Second of all, I’m pretty sure you’re Satan himself, sent to tempt me to do some very, very bad things.” His voice gets husky again, and my cock twitches eagerly at the implied promise.

“Are you a religious man?” I ask with a smirk.

“No.”

“Then I must not be Satan.” I drop my gaze to his lips. Does he want to kiss me again as badly as I want to kiss him? My heart pounds and I swear everything inside of me is vibrating and buzzing like a hive of bees.

Piston’s throat bobs as he swallows heavily, and then in a blink, he’s off the couch.

“Right, so I’m going to take the coldest shower of my life, and you’re going to be good and go sleep in the guest room.” He drags his hands over his face, then crosses his arms like he’s doing everything he can to hold himself back from reaching for me again. “It’s the first door on the left. I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Hey, Piston?” He stops in the mouth of the hallway, bracing his hand against the wall. I can see his knuckles whiten with his grip. “Was your first time special?”

He looks at me over his shoulder with a flicker of a smile. “It was fine, but no, it wasn’t anything special.” Then he disappears down the hallway without another word.

It’s only another minute before the sound of the shower hisses through the quiet house. I slump on the couch with a quiet chuckle.

Fuck. I really want him.

Chapter 6

PISTON

I wish I wassurprised to wake up with my dick hard enough to be used as a weapon, but despite me taking an ice-cold shower that made my fingers and toes completely numb and then jerking off twice as quietly as possible, I still passed out with thoughts of Milo’s lips stuck on a loop in my head.

I groan quietly, shoving my hand under the covers and into my shorts.

“I have to fucking let this go,” I mutter to myself, wrapping my cock in a tight grip and giving myself punishingly hard strokes. I lick my lips, imagining the sweetness of Milo still lingering there.

I barely even had a taste of him. That has to be why I’m so stuck on this, right? I jerk myself faster, reluctantly giving in to the flashbulb fantasies of what might have happened if wehadtaken things further that night.

Milo’s pristine, unmarked bare skin fully on display for me, his body bowed with pleasure and his cock hard and dripping.

Our hands and mouths devouring each other greedily. Beautiful gasps and desperate moans falling from his lips as I tug his pebbled nipples between my teeth while I grind my cock against his.
