The blanket moved beneath me, and warm breath skated over my ear. “Why?”

“Because I didn’t want you to think that I was expecting we’d do…that.”

He nudged at me with his head like some kind of overgrown cat until I moved my arm away from my face, and then he curled into me, pressing his nose into my neck as he liked to do.

“I’ve been doing some research, too,” he confessed.

My heart beat faster. Curving my arm around him, I stroked up the back of his neck and into his soft hair. “Yeah? The same kind of research?”

“Yeah,” he mouthed against my skin.

Okay. We were on the same page, and most importantly, I hadn’t scared him away.

“Did you come to any conclusions?”

He burrowed into me even further, pressing his face into the side of my throat.Stroking through his hair to soothe him, I waited until he’d relaxed before I tried again.

“Baby. Tell me.”

His words were a soft whisper. “I think…I think I might want to try it with you.”

My dick reactedinstantly. Like he had a direct line to it. Reaching down to adjust it so it wasn’t so obvious in my shorts, I groaned, unable to help my reaction.

“Fuck, me too.”

“Okay. We, um, we should do that,” he mumbled.

How could I feel so turned on and want to cuddle him at the same time? So sweet and so hot at the same time.

“Okay, I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see Finn’s boner. Niall?”

“See what? I didn’t see anything. Nope. Not a thing.”

Leo squeaked, scrambling away from me. I groaned, throwing my arm over my face and drawing up my legs, although there was no point in my doing so since apparently Connor and Niall had already seen it all.

“Where did you two go?” I asked, playing it cool despite my heated face and rapidly deflating cock.

When I lowered my arm, Connor jerked his head to the right. “We were interviewing the people with the campervan down the bottom of the field. Didn’t Leo say?”

“I think they were a bit too busy for talking.” Niall smirked, eyeing Leo, who was now sitting up with his legs pulled up to his chest and his arms wrapped around his knees. Leo glared up at him, but he was clearly biting back a smile. It helped me to relax a little. Maybe we were finally getting used to the teasing.

Still, I continued the discussion along project work-related lines. “Any new ideas for anything you want to add to your project?”

“Yeah.” Connor flopped down onto the blanket in front of us and pulled out his phone. “I made some notes. First of all, we’re gonna need to add options for electric and non-electric pitches…”

“Finn.”

“Yeah?” I turned my head, my lips brushing over Leo’s hair.

We’d arranged the tent so our camping mats were next to each other, and we’d unzipped the sleeping bags to use one as extra padding beneath us and the other spread out to cover us both. We’d topped it with an additional blanket in case it got cold during the night.

Although it was dark outside, thanks to the clear night and the brightness of the moon, I could just about make out the outline of his face as he continued. “You know the research we were talking about?”

“Yeah.” I shifted closer, running my hand down his back. His bare back. The night was warm, and we were under two layers as it was, so we’d ended up in just our underwear.

“I really want to try it.”

“Fuck.” I let my hand slip lower onto his ass, and his breath stuttered over my skin. He rolled his hips forwards, dragging his hardening cock along my thigh, and as he slotted his leg between mine, I pulled him on top of me to get some friction on my own rapidly hardening erection. “I wish we could do it now, but I didn’t bring any lube, and I don’t think our first time should be in a tent. I want you to be comfortable.”
