“Of course you are.” Helix snorted into his neck.

The air conditioner kicked on loudly and a car honked outside. Inside, all Helix could hear was Gareth’s breathing. He could feel the pounding of his heart against his chest. The hug was…nice.

“I’m sorry that happened to Sayer,” Gareth said into his ear. “I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you.”

“Harder for him.” Helix’s arms tightened before he stepped back. “I appreciate the support.”

“I’d like to be there for you, Helix. I told you that.”

He stared at the man, taking in his open expression, the sincerity in his warm brown eyes. All his frustration with his brother bubbled to the surface and he knew a surefire way to get rid of it. He pointed at the bed. “You know what I want?” Helix asked. “You. In that bed. Take my mind off this for a while.” He stepped closer and pressed his mouth to Gareth’s. "I just want sex," he whispered against his lips. "That's all. You up for that?"

"Fine with me," Gareth whispered back. “For now.”

He opened his mouth over that lush upper lip and sucked it inside before letting it go to slide his tongue in to tangle with Gareth's. His body felt so good against him, hot and strong. The firmness of his touch on Helix's back was welcome—made him feel anchored to the world in a way he desperately needed right then. God, his frustration and worry was driving him crazy and this hazy blur of desire and lust was so welcome. It burned him up, this craving he had for Gareth and he wanted to finally scratch this itch and get it out of his system once and for all.

He reached for the buttons of Gareth's shirt and undid them quickly, wanting to get to all that warm flesh underneath. And it felt good. So damn good he stroked his hands down his chest, loving the skin and hair, the beating of his heart beneath his palm.

Gareth pulled back enough to reach for the hem of Helix's T-shirt and tug it over his head. He dropped it on the floor and pulled him close. At the first touch of their chests together, Helix groaned and his head went back. Gareth kissed his jaw, then his neck, opening his mouth to suck, and the shot of lust went straight from there to Helix's dick. It filled with blood and throbbed, and he reached down to undo the opening of his jeans to give it room to breathe.

Gareth helped him by unzipping, then sticking his hand inside to wrap his fingers around Helix's cock.

Helix gasped, pulled his hand out, then backed him toward the bed and pushed him down on it. He shoved his jeans and boxers off, then came down over him and reached for the jeans at his waist. He tugged them down, revealing his gorgeous hard cock, long and thick and already shiny at the head with precum. It was darker than his olive skin. “This is a thing of beauty," he rasped as he ran his thumb over the tip and brought it up to his mouth. “I thought so in the shower earlier, too, but my mouth was too busy to say.”

Gareth's nostrils flared and his mouth dropped open.

Helix couldn't resist. He leaned down and kissed the sensitive skin where his leg met his torso, kissed his balls, then ran his tongue up his shaft. He took the tip into his mouth and sucked, rolling his tongue around and around. Gareth made a noise that touched at something deep inside Helix and made his dick ache even harder. He reached down and gripped his own as he sucked Gareth deeper into his mouth. He relaxed his throat, loving the thick slide of the man against the soft tissue, knowing it felt good when someone did that to him.

Hands grabbed his head, a hoarse cry sounding. It came again when he choked and he would have smiled if his mouth wasn't so busy. That sound was so hot when on the other end, knowing someone was choking on your dick. He worked to swallow, running his hands on the insides of Gareth's hairy thighs.

Fuck, the man was hotter than Hell. He gripped his own dick again, so ready to bust his nut, he was dizzy with the strength of the orgasm back-building.

"Swing around," Gareth panted. "I want your dick."

He barely kept his eyes from rolling back into his head as he released Gareth's cock and swung his body around before coming back over the man. As he took that gorgeous length back into his mouth, his own was engulfed in wet heat and he groaned. He thrust his hips down, sliding in and out of Gareth's mouth. He wasn't going to last long. He was too worked up from being angry and too turned on. He upped the suction of his mouth, loving the silky skin on his tongue and the thrum of Gareth's blood pumping through his cock.

Gareth yelled, then sucked Helix deep into his throat and that was it for Helix. He shot into that warm mouth, his body shaking with his efforts not to drop on top of Gareth and to keep sucking him. Luckily Gareth made a strangled noise as his body went taut and he came in Helix's mouth.

Helix swallowed him down, then licked him clean before falling to the side, one arm going off the edge of the bed. He worked to catch his breath.

"Damn, Helix. Just...damn." Gareth was obviously having trouble catching his own breath because his words had more air than sound.

"That's exactly what I needed." Helix patted Gareth's leg next to his head. "Thank you."

"My pleasure. That mouth of yours has been driving me nuts with its lack of words. Nice to learn it's good for other things."

Helix gave a lazy grin. "Yeah, well, I like those other things."

"I, for one, am very happy about that." Gareth stroked his calf, then rolled onto this side to look down at him. He ran his hand over his thigh and up to his hip. "Your body is gorgeous."

"Thank you," he said, his voice catching in his throat at the look on Gareth's face. His gaze roamed Gareth's form and he smiled when he realized they'd never taken his shirt entirely off.

As if he read his thoughts, Gareth sat up and removed it, then turned his body so both their feet were near the pillows. He propped his head up on his hand, his other now stroking over Helix's chest. His palm grazed a nipple and Helix sucked in a breath.

Gareth leaned down, his mouth a breath away and whispered. "Did you get what you came for?"

Since Gareth wasn't out of his system at all, it seemed, the honest answer would be no, but instead, he nodded.

"I don't think we're done with each other," Gareth said.
