“You’ve been so good to me. Generous to a fault. Shared your home, food…privatejet. So I was trying to think of something I could do for you.”

Lucien cocked his head to the side. “I told you, I don’t do those things expecting anything in return.”

“I know.”

“Doyou?”

I swallowed and nodded.

“I don’t know. This feels very much like you think I expect this from you. That you’rethankingme because you think you have to?—”

“That’s not it at all,” I blurted.

“No?”

“No. I was trying to think of something I had to give, and, well, I don’t have anything. But I’m not doing this because I think you expect it. I’m doing it because I…I want to pleasure you.”

Lucien hummed, and the sound was so damn hot it made my knees buckle as he lowered his face over mine. I took hold of his shirt, just to make sure I didn’t end up on my ass, thenhe ghosted his lips over mine and said, “Tell me something, beautiful boy—has anyone ever pleasuredyou?”

I blinked at him, his sinfully sexy face making my mind blank.

Pleasureme? What was he talking about? I wanted to thankhim.

“Kai?”

There he went again, saying my name in that new tone. The one that felt intimate, personal. My body instantly responded, my cock throbbing in anticipation of whatmighthappen if I was brave enough to answer.

Knowing it was now or never, I shook my head, my heart thundering so hard that I was surprised Lucien couldn’t hear it. But then his lips crooked into a devilish smile, and he wrapped his arm around my waist and hauled me up his body as if I weighed no more than a feather.

“Then this is how you can thank me,” he said, turning and heading for the door.

With my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms circling his neck, I’d never been so close to Lucien. “How?” I asked.

“You can letmepleasureyou.”

LUCIEN

IT HAD ONLY been a matter of time until Kai made his move—I just hadn’t expected ittonight. He’d known exactly what he was doing by putting on that lacy, see-through shirt and showing himself off in front of me. Every inch of his outfit was tailored to his slim build, showcasing his beautiful body to its best advantage, and I wanted to both enjoy the view and peel those clothes off him slowly.

His hot breath against my neck as I carried him up the stairs to my room made my dick so hard it practically punched through the confines of my pants, but it was the way I could feel his own erection pressed up against my stomach that was making it difficult to walk.

With Kai tightly wound around me, I kicked the door to my room open and dropped him onto the mattress.

Stepping back, I stared down at him, at how breathtaking he was on my bed, his eyes heavy with arousal and his cock straining against his pants. It wouldn’t be for long, and my mouth watered as he lowered his hand down his chest…then over his stomach…and finally over his dick.

“Did I say you could touch yourself?”

Kai stopped moving, but when he didn’t take his hand away, I leaned over him, grabbed his wrists, and pinned them above his head.

“Be a good boy and keep them here, and I won’t have to restrain you.”

He slipped a hand free of my grip. “You can. If you want.”

Fuckin’ hell.The little minx wanted it. Or at least was interested enough to try.

He brushed his fingers over his erection again, and there he went, trying to seduce me. What he didn’t realize was he didn’t have totry—he already had my full attention.
