Eoghan was speechless. He gave a single nod of his head and Ari smiled, almost instantly sitting up in a straddle over his hips. He reached for Eoghan’s waist, tugged open his belt in a few deft moves, and unzipped him before smiling down at him, and sliding down the bed. He took Eoghan’s jeans with him as he did, leaving his undergarments in place.

“Holy shit, will you look at that.” Ari groaned as he got his first glimpse of the black lace boxer briefs Eoghan wore beneath his pants.

He worried his bottom lip, not knowing how Ari would react to the lacy undergarments. He’d had bad reactions in the past from men who couldn’t understand why he wore them. Kellen had laughed at him the first time he’d seen them. Another man had even called him a litany of unflattering things before storming out of the bedroom, leaving Eoghan feeling shamefaced and emasculated.

“I wasn’t sure how you’d feel about them,” Eoghan said, sounding uncharacteristically shy even to his own ears.

Ari reached down, running the palm of his hand over the soft, black lace which stretched obscenely to accommodate his engorged dick. He circled his shaft through the boxer briefs and pumped it up and down, eliciting a moan from Eoghan before looking up at him. His eyes blazed with lust and when his mouth turned up at the corners in a tiny smile, Eoghan felt a rush of pleasure and relief.

“I think they’re the sexiest things I’ve ever seen in my whole fucking life, Eoghan.” He slid farther down the bed, positioning himself between his spread thighs, still palming his cock through the black, stretch fabric and pursed his lips. When he looked up at him from where he was, Eoghan sucked in a breath, holding it as Ari exhaled deeply, sighing with pleasure as he surrounded his cock with hot, peppermint scented breath. He smiled sweetly and before Eoghan knew what was happening, he’d opened his mouth and taken one of his balls into it, right through the thin lace. Eoghan gasped as Ari groaned around it, sending vibrations throughout that most sensitive region.

He couldn’t remember the last time a lover had made him feel this sexy and he knew it had everything to do with the way Ari had reacted to his briefs. He reached down and slid both hands into Ari’s hair, loving the way the soft curls felt under his palms. Ari licked up the length of his lace covered cock, groaning as he encountered the precome leaking from the head. He took his time now that he seemed to have reached his goal, laving the wide head of his cock, drooling over it until the lace was soaked, then sucking up the wetness along with his precome. Doing it through the lace had never made Eoghan feel sexier.

Eoghan knew if Ari kept blowing him like this, he wasn’t going to last long at all. He squirmed beneath Ari’s ministrations, loving every second of the way he was worshipping his body. Several times in as many minutes, he found himself writhing on the bed beneath him, humping into his mouth, arching off the mattress in a ridiculous display of need. Just when Eoghan thought he could take no more, Ari reached for the waistband of the lacy boxer briefs, and stretched them up and over the head, before dragging them slowly downward. Eoghan held his breath as Ari looked up,again meeting his gaze as his tongue flicked out and lapped up more precome from the slit.

“You taste so fucking good, Eoghan,” Ari said before opening his mouth and sliding it over the spongy head of his dick.

Eoghan gasped, curling his fingers against Ari’s scalp, wishing his hair was long enough to pull. Instead, he held his head at his groin, bucking up and off the bed as Ari went down on him, sucking more of his cock into his mouth, hollowing his cheeks as he pulled back, before swallowing around the head.

The action made Eoghan gasp but when Ari slid his long, middle finger into his mouth and brought it back slick and wet, he felt a shiver run over him. As if he’d known what the man planned, he focused rapt attention on Ari’s wet digit, watching him slide it down between his thighs to probe. The moment he found Eoghan’s tight pucker, he let out a long, slow moan. Ari smiled up at him with his lips still stretched around his cock. Eoghan broke eye contact with him, arching off the bed.

It allowed Ari more access and he immediately slid the tip of his finger inside to the first knuckle, dragging an unsolicited loud groan out of Eoghan. So…this was how it was going to be…he was to be the bottom in this equation. It was fine with him. He loved bottoming as much as topping, in fact, most of the time, he preferred it when he was with a partner who was patient and knew what he was doing. He had the sense Ari would innately know what would make him feel good, although he suspected he hadn’t had a bevy of sexual partners in the past. It wasn’t as if he was the most experienced gay man either. Still, living in California was vastly different from living in the Bible Belt.

When Ari abruptly pulled his finger out and his mouth off him, sitting back on his heels, Eoghan couldn’t help feelingboth surprised and perplexed at the same time. “Is everything okay?” he asked, hearing the breathy quality in his own voice.

Ari looked around and then turned back to him, holding up a single finger. “Be right back.” He slid off the bed, undoing his own pants and slid them down, pulling them off without any shyness about it. When he stood upright, and Eoghan got a look at his naked body for the first time, he realized Ari had absolutely nothing to be shy about. He was as beautifully made as Eoghan had hoped he’d be.

His chest and belly were covered by a smattering of curly, black hair which was concentrated between his sculpted pecs and ran downward over his muscular abs which tapered into a delicious V. It pointed down to the prominent cut cock which stood proudly from a nest of black curls. Two heavy balls hung in a furry sac beneath. The man was proportionate to his height, perfectly droolworthy from head to toe, and Eoghan found himself thanking his lucky stars to have this sexiest of men in his bed. While Ari was undressing, Eoghan wiggled out of his jeans then grasped the waistband of his lacy underwear before his lover turned to stop him.

“Hang on just a second, Eoghan!” he said, kneeling up on the bed wearing only his socks. He crawled over to him, then stared at his engorged dick which peeked up over the lace waistband. He smiled at him, then lowered his face again before rubbing his whiskered cheeks all over his cock. Eoghan had studied a lot of animal species on the job, and he knew what a marking ritual was. When his partner was done, Ari sat back, glancing almost meekly up at him under his long, curling lashes.

“Sorry. I don’t know why I did that,” he said. “It’s just…you know, if there was a way for me to fuck you while you still wore those, I’d do it in a heartbeat.” He frowned boyishly. “I just can’t figure out how to do it without tearing them.”

Eoghan chuckled. “You really like them then?”

Ari nodded, leaning down, bracing one hand on the bed and running his other palm over the soft lace. He finally sighed in defeat and sat back on his ass before pulling off his socks. “I love them, Eoghan. That was the nicest surprise I think I’ve ever had. I guess I’ll have to let you take them off.” He sighed and the sound made Eoghan feel very special.

“They sell others with easy access,” he said, “you know, the kind you can wear while being fucked.”

“Christ, Eoghan.” Ari’s eyes widened. He put his hand over his heart. “You’re going to be the very death of me.”

He didn’t wait for a response before sliding off the bed and walking over to his overnight bag. They both kept one packed in their lockers just in case they might need to stay the night. Eoghan was very glad they’d brought them along. He watched Ari unzip his shaving kit, withdrawing a tube of lube and a box of condoms. He came back over to the bed just as Eoghan managed to wiggle out of the lacy undergarment and pull off his socks. He smiled at Ari as he tossed the box and bottle on the bed and jumped back onto it, practically bouncing him off the bed, and making him laugh.

“Wait,” Eoghan said. “Can we pull down the duvet please? I have a thing about hotel bedspreads.” He shuddered.

Ari chuckled, sliding off the bed and holding out his hand which Eoghan eagerly grasped. He let him pull him off the bed and then turned the duvet cover back, exposing fluffy, white, and probably eight hundred count sheets. The I.S.R. was nothing if not generous with its hotel allowance, so they’d chosen one with a bunch of stars and great reviews. The room was tasteful, the sheets were as soft as butter, but in Eoghan’s opinion, the best thing about it was the naked man pulling him down on the bed.

Their bodies twined in perfect harmony as they sank into another kiss. Eoghan loved the feeling of being dwarfed by a man five inches taller and thirty pounds heavier. As they rolled in the sheets, lost in their kisses, Eoghan felt sexy as hell. Ari held onto his ass with two big hands and pulled him into his own groin, rutting against him. He had no doubt if Ari kept it up, he wasn’t going to last. His heart was beating out of his chest when he finally managed to tear his mouth away to speak.

“You keep doing that, I’m going to come all over you.”

Ari chuckled, leaning down to kiss the tip of his nose. “You are the sexiest man I’ve ever known, Eoghan Sapphire. You can come all over me anytime.” He smiled at him, showing a row of white teeth.

Eoghan was more pleased by the praise than he was willing to admit. He tried to keep his body in shape, working out and running whenever possible. Then again, he was twenty-eight years old, so his body hadn’t had time to lose its tone or muscle. He liked the idea that someone thought he was sexy. After his ex had cheated on him, Eoghan had spent a fair period of time questioning that very thing, wondering why Kellen McGillis had strayed and what he could have done differently. Ari leaned back, meeting his gaze with a knowing one of his own.

“Where’d you go, baby?”

Eoghan offered a tiny smile. “Sorry.” He stared at Ari’s pretty lips for a moment before pecking him on the side of his mouth, whispering against them. “Now…are you going to fuck me or what?”
