Page 11 of Running Back

At the words spoken against his ear, Jakk spun. Rocky stood behind him. He was all smiles and travel mussed. He was fucking gorgeous. “You’re here.” His huge smile hurt his face. He was so fucking happy.

Rocky shook the beer at him. “You deserve this.”

Jakk didn’t give a fuck about the beer. He wanted to haul Rocky against him and take the kiss he craved. Instead, he caved to society and accepted the beer. “I thought you couldn’t make it.”

Rocky shrugged. He looked pleased with himself for getting the drop on Jakk. “Oakley can be an easy client when he’s in the mood. He rushed so I could get back to you.”

Something fluttered in Jakk’s chest. “You told him about us?”

Rocky’s expression changed. He looked uncomfortable. “Sorry. I didn’t think to run that by you first. He won’t say anything if you don’t want anyone to know.”

It hit Jakk. He didn’t want to hide. Jakk was tired of fucking hiding. The worst had already happened. He wouldn’t ruin this. “I’m fine with it if you are. It’s not like we’ve hidden. It’s not our fault people are blind.”

Rocky snagged the collar of Jakk’s shirt. “Maybe it’s a little our fault.” His mouth covered Jakk’s.

Jakk immediately surrendered. He forgot where they were or that they could be seen. Nothing mattered except the tongue stroking his.

Rocky pulled away a hair. “Do you really want to be here?”

Jakk shook his head.

“I say we go home and celebrate properly.”

Jakk nodded. There was nowhere he would rather be. He had found the one.

Chapter Seven

Their legs tangled beneaththe covers. Jakk was the most comfortable he had ever been in his life. Rocky’s nude body spooned his, keeping him warm and making it impossible for him to fully wake. Occasionally, his lips brushed Jakk’s neck. A smile kept passing over Jakk’s lips. He knew he should get up and face the day, but he wasn’t ready. Jakk never wanted to leave Rocky’s arms.

The alarm went off. A groan burst from Jakk. “No.” He dragged the word out. “I don’t want to go to work.”

Rocky chuckled against his skin.

Jakk slapped the face of his phone to make it be quiet, but he didn’t move. He was too content.

Rocky’s hand slid across his hip. “How much time do you have?”

A hum vibrated in the back of his throat. Jakk could make time. “A couple of hours.”

Rocky sucked his neck.

Jakk immediately went hard. That was his weakness. “Oh, God.” He held Rocky’s head lightly, silently begging for him not to stop.

Rocky didn’t let him down. He stroked Jakk’s erection. Even though Jakk felt how hard Rocky was for him, he made no move to do more than touch Jakk.

“Fuck. I’ve never seen anyone sexier when they’re turned on. You could do porn.”

A chuckle rose in Jakk’s throat. He had never really thought about the way he looked. The laugh died when Rocky rolled, pinning Jakk beneath him. He disappeared just long enough to return with wet fingers. The cold lube swept down his crack and soaked his hole. Jakk held the sheet beneath him and buried his face in the mattress. He focused solely on feeling everything. That was the one thing Rocky did best: make him feel. Rocky bit his shoulder and licked his spine. When he drew Jakk’s hips up and back, Jakk went willingly.

“So beautiful.”

Unexpectedly, Jakk’s throat swelled at the quietly spoken compliment. For a long fucking time, he had kept his heart on lockdown to keep from getting hurt while simultaneously feeling like nothing thanks to Eric and his bullshit. Life just felt so goddamn full of hope, and he felt desired again. Sometimes it was overwhelming. He was thankful he could hide his face. Jakk didn’t want Rocky to stop. He likely would if he saw the way everything about him devastated Jakk—in the best of ways.

Rocky’s cock stretched Jakk’s asshole. “You make me feel like my whole life led to you.”

Jakk couldn’t breathe. His emotions were too high. Then Rocky thrust and Jakk forgot everything except the ecstasy. Moans vibrated from him. He was at complete peace with life as Rocky took him to the stars. When his orgasm hit, Jakk had to bite the sheet to stop himself from confessing his love. It was dumb. Realistically, they hadn’t known each other that long. As Jakk listened to Rocky moan through his orgasm, they felt realer than anything he had ever experienced. He felt safe and alive. This was the real thing. Jakk never wanted this to end.

Jakk’s team meeting was supposed to be a short one. Rocky didn’t have much time. He wanted to do something special for Jakk. They had been together a couple of months and Rocky was happier than he had ever been. He was also exhausted. So fucking exhausted. He tried to hide how much the constant jump around the US and Canada affected him, but he was older than Jakk. This shit wore him down, forcing him to make a few decisions and adjustments. He had sat on the news until he had everything in order, but that day was today. Rocky wanted to set the mood.
