I couldn’t help stiffening. “What is it?”

Taking the headphones from my grip, he carefully placed them over my ears. The sound was a little muffled with them on, but I could still hear him easily.

“You look cute with those on. I dare you to tell me what you thought was going to happen when we came back here.”

“Th-that’s not a dare! It’s a truth.”

“Leo.”

When I looked at him, he was smiling, but he seemed a little unsure and a little hopeful. I inhaled, then exhaled.

“I didn’t think…it wasn’t what I thought was going to happen. I guess I wanted to…you know. Kiss or something. But only if you wanted to. I’m happy to play.”

The uncertainty disappeared from his expression, and I returned his smile. Wrapping his arms around me, he leaned in. “I set this up because I didn’t wanna pressure you into doing anything. I thought if I did it straight away, you wouldn’t have to be worrying about whether I wanted to kiss you, or—” He broke off with a shake of his head. “I dunno. I just didn’t want you to be uncomfortable or feel pressured.”

My arms went around his neck of their own accord. “I’m not.” Turning away, I glanced at my bed. “We…we might be more comfortable over there. I’m not sure if Secretlab made their gaming chairs with, uh, that in mind.”

“That?” He leaned in, smiling against the side of my face. “By ‘that,’ I hope you mean kissing.”

“And maybe more,” I said breathlessly.

“Fuck.” He groaned. “Yeah. Yes. More. Okay. Bed.”

Both of us ended up laughing as we ripped off our headphones and Finn threw the controller onto my desk, almost upending the chair as we scrambled to get to the bed. Myhumour died away when Finn had me on my back, pressing soft kisses across my face, and then took my lower lip between his teeth, biting down so gently that a whole flurry of butterflies erupted in my stomach.

Oh. That was what that swooping feeling had been earlier.

“Finn.”

“Yeah, baby?” He nipped at my jaw.

“Can I touch you today?” It was all I’d been able to think about since he’d made me come with his hand. It had felt so good, and while I was under no illusions that I’d be any good at it, I wanted to try.

A huff of breath skated across my skin as he lowered his head, burying it in my throat.“Fucking hell, Leo. Yeah. Course. You can do anything you want to me.”

“Anything?”

“Anything.”

When I raised my head, Leo was staring at me, all huge green eyes and soft, parted lips. He looked more kissable than anyone I’d seen, ever. I didn’t know what that said about me except that I was way out of my depth, and literally the only thing my brain and dick could agree on was that letting him touch me was a very, very good idea.

I kissed him again, because I could, and it was clear that he wanted me to. It was such an addictive feeling, getting lost in his mouth, his body against mine. So familiar by now but still so new because we’d both reached the point where we were turned on by what we were doing and wanted to take things further.

When we broke apart, I trailed kisses across his jaw and up to his ear.

“Remember, if you want to stop, just say the word, and we can stop, no questions asked.”

He ran his hand down my back. “That goes for you, too.”

“Yeah.” I kissed him again, right below his earlobe, making him shiver. His hard cock was digging into my thigh, and fuck me, it was making my own cock even harder.

“Can we?—”

My head rose, finding him biting down on his lip, his lashes downcast.

“Hey. Tell me.” I brought my hand up to his face, gently tugging his lip out from between his teeth. “You know you can tell me anything.”
