Soren didn’t deny it. Shane knew he couldn’t. There had been too many nights of friendship and too many longing glances.
“I want to touch you too.” Soren stroked Shane’s chest and stomach until he rolled onto his back, giving Soren all the freedom he wanted to explore. Soren wasted no time peeling off Shane’s pants. Shane helped. He wanted Soren’s touch. The moment he was nude, Soren’s gaze devoured him. “Beautiful.”
The way he meant it always stole Shane’s breath. His heart and soul completely belonged to this man. Soren kissed his stomach, and Shane’s eyes burned from the inability to look away. Soren looked like he was in heaven.
“It would kill me if you ever went away.” Even Shane heard the way his voice shook.
Soren straddled him. “You can’t get rid of me. I plan to stay glued to you just like this and ride you like a monkey on a tree.” His forehead furrowed. “I didn’t mean that the way it sounded.”
Shane roared with laughter. He pulled Soren down so he could reach his lips. “I really want you to do both.” Shane stole the kiss he wanted. Things turned heated fast.
“Show me how, Daddy.”
The possessive roar that rang through his head was deafening. “Bedside table. You know what we need.”
Soren found the lube and condoms, and then he was back, sitting on Shane’s thighs.
Shane took the condom from him and tore it open before handing it back. “Put this on me. I’ll make sure you do it right.”
With his bottom lip held between his teeth, Soren fumbled to roll the condom down Shane’s length, but he figured it out.
Shane motioned toward the lube on the mattress beside them. “Coat the outside with that, and if you want, you can get yourself ready too.” Shane didn’t want to make Soren uncomfortable. He just never expected to be walking anyone through this. “Do you have toys at home?” Soren’s face turned bright red. He didn’t respond, but he didn’t need to. That was answer enough for Shane. “It’s the same. Do whatever feels good to you. I promise it’ll feel good to me no matter what.”
Soren moved carefully, crawling higher. It took a little work, but Shane finally found himself root deep inside Soren.
“Good boy.” His voice sounded every bit as turned on as he felt. “Whenever you feel ready, take what you want from me.”
Soren gently bounced a couple of times, as if testing out the waters. Shane knew the instant Soren found the angle for him. The lust radiating from him had Shane incapable of looking anywhere else. He held still, letting Soren use him. It was hard.He wanted to grab Soren’s hips and take his pleasure. Soren had to be in control.
As Shane looked on, Soren’s eyes fell closed. He tilted his chin up and visibly fought for air. Shane thought he might blow just by watching him.
A whimper escaped Soren. “Daddy, I can’t. I need—”
Shane flipped, taking Soren with him. He knew what Soren needed. Shane would give it to him. He held Soren in place and sawed in and out of him, ensuring Soren got closer each time. There was a tiny voice in the back of his mind, reminding him to take it easy. He couldn’t. Soren wanted it exactly like this. Shane would do whatever it took to make him blow. He followed the sound of Soren’s cries, giving him everything. When Soren blew, his expression alone sent Shane into a frenzy. He pounded inside Soren, crazed with the need to join Soren in bliss. When his orgasm hit, Shane made the sound of a dying man. Everything was perfect. The world stopped while pleasure poured through him. Then, peace.
Their lips found each other. Their fingers linked. Shane couldn’t stop kissing Soren. Their bodies were slick with sweat and cum. It was the happiest Shane had ever been.
He kissed a path to Soren’s ear. “Fuck. I love you. You make me so goddamn happy.”
Soren still struggled for air, but that didn’t stop him from saying exactly what it took to ensure Shane stayed hard. “It’s crazy howbadly I wish this condom wasn’t between us. I don’t know, but I really want to feel your cum escaping me.”
Holy shit. Shane swore he went blind for a moment with white-hot desire. Still, he was the daddy. He had to be the logical one. “I want that too.” More than he realized, before Soren had painted the picture in his head. “But it’s my job to keep you safe. I know you haven’t been with anyone else, but I have.”
Soren looked up at him, so trusting. “What if you got tested?”
“I have. Several times. Plus, I’ve never had sex without a condom.”
Soren nodded. “Okay. Does that mean you plan to be with other people?”
Well, goddamn. He never meant it to sound that way. “Of course not, baby. You’re all I want for the rest of my life.” It hit Shane. There really wasn’t any reason they couldn’t ditch the condoms. He fully intended to marry Soren. He would definitely kill anyone who touched Soren and die before he let anyone else touch him. Still, he only had that one card left to play.
“Marry me first.”
Soren’s eyes widened. “You really want to marry me?”
Shane didn’t have to think about it. Never in a million years did he think he would throw out the M word to anyone. He for surewouldn’t do it if he didn’t mean it with every fiber of his being. “More than anything in the world.”
Soren gave a small nod. “Okay.” As if it truly hit him what he had just done, a smile exploded across Soren’s face. “You’ll be my husband. I get to be your husband.” He looked like Shane sent him soaring to cloud nine.
