Page 60 of Branson's Promise

“Naked?” My lips tugged up on one side and he playfully rolled his eyes.

“Obviously. Fuck, I hope Noel gets back soon.” He had been gone all day but his last text had said he should be back around nine.

Checking my phone, I saw that it was already eight thirty. Branson and I climbed out of our grimy clothes, then we dashed outside into the cold, Branson screeching about the biting air before throwing himself into the hot tub. Darkness extended beyond the patio, giving way to lights in the far distance. Only the entertaining area was lit up and steam billowed up as though attracted to the light. I followed behind Branson, sinking down into the warm water and positioning myself against a gently pulsing jet, sighing at the pressure on my tight muscles.

Branson sat next to me but I turned, gripped his hips and hauled him into my lap, so he was straddling me backwards, his back to my chest. “Hmmm, this is nice,” he mumbled. His blonde hair was darker now that it was wet and it tickled my shoulder as he leaned back against me. His long, slender neck was exposed, and I took the opportunity to kiss, lick and nibble the flesh, loving the way it pebbled under the flat of my tongue. Licking a long stripe along the muscle and up to his ear, Irevelled in his taste - sweet and salty with a bitter hint of cologne and chlorine.

“How do you always taste so good?” I asked not removing my lips from his damp skin.

“I taste even better in other places,” he teased while grinding his ass against my now painfully hard erection.

I bit him then, hard, sinking my teeth into the sensitive spot between his neck and shoulder and he cussed, throwing himself forward and spinning around, splashing water in my face. “You dick! That actually hurt.” He splashed me again and I coughed on a mouthful of water, laughing as I wiped it from my eyes.

“I thought you had a thing for vampires?” He made to splash me again but I was too fast, grabbing his wrists and pressing him up against the side of the hot tub. With his hands pinned on either side of him, I slid my body over his, then pressed our lips together. He kissed me back, opening his mouth to accept my probing tongue.

“Fuck!” I shot backwards, rubbing at my lip which he’d just sunk his teeth into. “You bit me!”

“Ohquid pro quo, dear boyfriend.”

I lunged for him again, just as he turned and we ended up with Branson flush against the tub, his upper body bent over the side. We were both breathing heavily, laughing and trying to gain the upper hand when footsteps behind us caught my attention.

“Now this is what I like to see when I walk through the door. Two naked men in a hot tub. Correction.Mynaked men in a hot tub.” We both turned around to find a smirking Noel at the door to the patio. He was a vision in his tight blue jeans and dark grey turtleneck. He’d left his hair casual and his curls flopped around on top, making him look like he’d just walked through a storm.

“Daddy,” Branson purred, standing up and stalking through the water to the other side, where he met Noel in a filthy kiss. Spreading my legs into a comfortable position, I watchedas Noel took control of the kiss and Branson turned to putty, whimpering as Noel slid his hand down Branson’s taut stomach, then slowly gripped his cock and stroked it a few times.

“You have too much clothing on,” Branson said, his lips resting against Noel's. The older man pulled back and for a brief moment, his lips dipped and I could have sworn his eyes were wet, but he turned away, heading back to the patio.

“Give me five minutes and I’ll join you.” He was gone in a flash and Branson sank down into the warm water, his eyes closing as he rested his head against the side.

By the time Noel returned, his smile was bright and his eyes shone to match. He was also completely naked and though I had seen him like this so many times before, I took a moment to appreciate the lines of his long body, the scattering of hair on his chest and the grooves that led down to his impressive cock.

“How are your folks?” Branson asked as Noel took a seat in the hot tub.

“Mum is sad to have missed meeting you two and Dad is…” he hesitated for a moment, a shadow passing over his eyes before he continued, “Dad is good. Hopefully you can meet them next time.” Noel shifted so that he was sitting opposite me and pulled Branson onto his lap. “How was London? What did I miss?” His hands snaked around Branson’s chest, and he delicately drew circles over his skin as we spoke about our day with Mia.

Noel chuckled when we told him about Mia making friends with the locals. “She won’t want to leave, will she?”

“Exactly what I was thinking, but now that our father has agreed to let her change her major - and fund it fully - I think she has motivation to return, no matter how much she loves the UK,” I said.

“She’s really excited about next semester,” Branson added.

Swimming - as much as a grown man in a hot tub could swim - I stopped when I was directly in front of them, resting onmy knees in the water. With my body pressed to Branson’s, I reached over his shoulder and kissed Noel, swiping my tongue against his lips until they opened, and I licked inside, eliciting a groan from Noel and a responding whimper from Branson. “Thank you.”

“For what?” He whispered, chasing my lips with his own. Branson’s arms wrapped around my front until his hands were skating along my back. “For this holiday and for what you did for me and Mia. No one has ever stood up for me like that. I’m sorry I never thanked you earlier. ”

“Oh love, you have nothing to thank me for.” Noel pushed me back, then did the same to Branson, who turned around until he was flush against me. A shiver raked through me as cold air met my wet skin, which was out of the water and Bran trembled at the same time. I pulled him closer, offering some of my body heat.

Noel cleared his throat, his blue eyes piercing as he spoke, “I need you both to know that I would do anything for you, give you anything you could ever want or need. It’s my pleasure to love you, take care of and protect you. You two are the most important parts of my life - my beginning, my end and everything in between. You’re it for me.”

“I love you, you sappy romantic,” Branson said.

“I assure you, I wasn’t before. You and Milo have pulled this side out of me. Caleb finds it hilarious, and I guess that's my payback for all the shit I’ve given him and August. I’m not ashamed of it, though. I am undoubtedly, hopelessly, romance novel worthy, in love with the two of you.” We all laughed before Branson shivered again.

“Let’s get you warmed up, kitten. Shower?”
