“You fly out tomorrow?”

“I do.” I moved to the underside of his jaw.

“Packed?” His words developed a lusty lilt.

“I am. Except my toothbrush.” I nipped his earlobe.

“Good.” He placed his cold hands on my cheeks and kissed me deep and slow. His tongue danced with mine as I swallowed his groans.

I wasn’t sure how many minutes passed as we stood making out in his living room. I’d lost all sense of time and didn’t even hear his animals moving around us. All that existed in my world in that moment was Elias.

Eventually, he pulled back and grabbed the TV remote. “Turning on the birds to keep them distracted.”

Then he took my hand and led me down his hallway. As we passed his spare room, I tried not to think about moving Carol in there tomorrow to stay while I was in Arizona. All I wanted to think about was Elias and how good I wanted to make him feel.

I grinned at the candy-cane boxers haphazardly left next to his hamper as the door clicked closed behind me. When I opened my arms, Elias stepped into them, resuming our languid kisses. Our lips only strayed apart long enough to pull our sweaters and undershirts off. Despite moving slowly, my heart thundered like I’d run a marathon.

A small voice in my brain screamed at me to leave before I got too swept away, but I shut it down. I didn’t know what would happen in Arizona, and the last thing I wanted to do was regret tonight. I suspected I’d already have enough regrets heading my way, and I didn’t want to add another to the pile.

I slid my hand into the back pocket of his jeans. “You asked me about my evening but didn’t tell me about yours. What’s your plan for the night?”

Mischief sparkled in his eyes as he moved away, forcing my hand out of his pants. He flipped a table lamp on, then reached into his nightstand drawer and retrieved a bottle of lube and a condom. We hadn’t gone further than some finger play, and it seemed like he was ready for more. So was I.

“I’ve got big plans.”

The sight of the condom had me eagerly dropping my jeans. After setting the supplies on the bed, Elias did the same. Once he was naked, he stood and stroked himself as he gave me a slow, lingering once-over.

I’m in way over my head.

I closed the distance between us and pulled his naked body against mine. Elias moaned as I gripped one ass cheek in each of my palms. My cock slid against his smooth belly. The man had me so turned on that I might come with a simple touch.

Elias pulled me onto the bed and hummed as I settled my weight over him. I arched into his touch as he dragged his fingernails down my back.

“What do you want?” I whispered in his ear, then kissed a path down the stubble growing on his neck.

He wrapped his fingers around my hard cock. “You. In me.”

I was absolutely on board for that.

As I continued dropping kisses on his skin like I was trying to mark every inch, I reached for the lube. When I flicked mytongue over his nipple, Elias squirmed under me. He was pliant and willing.

Emotion swam in Elias’s eyes as he watched me. I shouldn’t have been nervous about how he would react to the surprise photo shoot earlier. Elias had clearly loved it. He spent so much time caring for others that he deserved to have people worrying about him once in a while. It scared me how much I liked the idea of filling that role.

I squirted lube onto my fingers and let it warm before I teased my fingertip around his hole. Elias let his legs fall open as he gripped his sheets.

I liked having some attention paid to my dick before getting worked open, so I took a guess he might enjoy the same. When I shifted toward the foot of his bed to get my mouth in range of his cock, I knew I’d made the right move. Elias tugged his bottom lip between his teeth as he stared at me.

Without breaking eye contact, I sucked one of his balls into my mouth and traced the skin with my tongue. After giving equal attention to the other, I dragged my mouth along his shaft until I was in range to suck his leaking cock.

Elias’s torso curved when my nose brushed the happy trail on his abs. “Oh fuck.”

I kept working Elias’s cock with my mouth and lubed hand until I had him muttering a string of nonsensical words. Then I moved my fingers back to his hole and worked one in. The long moan Elias let out as I slid my longest finger inside to the hilt made my dick eagerly jump.

I loved watching Elias fall apart under my touch almost as much as I loved being the person to make it happen.

Elias took my finger easily and quickly begged for more, so I complied. He licked his dry lips as he watched me stroke my cock with my free hand.

“How badly do you want me inside you?”
