Helix kept coming down until he was balls deep in his body. He sat there, adjusting, eyes closed, mouth still open. Then he began to ride.

He rolled his hips and used strong thighs to lift himself up and down. Gareth grabbed hold of each cheek of his ass, helping guide him to the depth and speed he wanted. Once Helix had a rhythm down, he was relentless. He grabbed his dick and stroked it in time with his movements.

“That’s it,” Gareth said on a moan.

Helix’s head tilted back as hoarse cries escaped his throat. His hips rolled and rocked as he sped up, releasing a long, strangled groan. “Yes!” he yelled. “You feel so fucking good.”

Gareth ran his hands along Helix’s thighs, loving the flex of strong muscles under his palms. The tight clasp of Helix’s body had him seeing stars. He gritted his teeth and pressed up deep inside him. He thrust over and over and it felt so fantastic, he wasn’t sure he could stand it. But he did. He was in the moment.

Helix cried out again and his body tightened around Gareth’s dick as Helix shot all over his chest and stomach. The warm fluid and the ecstasy on Helix’s face sent Gareth over. Pleasure coiled deep in his body as his orgasm washed over him. He came into the condom, gripping Helix’s hips.

Helix fell over him, his mouth opening wide as he thrust his tongue into Gareth’s mouth. He pulled back and stared down at Gareth. “You are so damn hot.”

“I’m not the hot one here.” He tried to catch his breath. “Nice riding.”

He got a wink in response, but the smile that stretched Helix’s lips was the most welcome. Gareth was starting to hoard the man’s smiles—each and every one precious. It wasn’t his imagination that they were coming more often, too. Gareth liked to think he had something to do with that. He ran his hands up Helix’s arms and then around his neck, tugging him down for more kissing. It was turning into his second favorite thing when it came to Helix. Smiles and kisses—who knew he could be such a sap?

When they finally broke for air, both were breathing hard. Helix rolled onto his side and draped an arm over Gareth’s waist. Gareth made quick work of getting rid of the condom and tossed it toward the wastebasket.

“You ready to do this thing tonight?” Helix asked. “I know it’s not your first steal, but it’s pretty damn close.”

“I’m fine. Nervous, of course, but ready to get this done. I’m ready to go back to Maine and continue what we’ve started.”

“You sure know what you want.”

Gareth lifted his head to look at Helix. “What do you want?”

Helix was silent for a long time as he looked back at Gareth. “I want you.”

“Then we’re on the same page. Good.” He settled back down and wrapped his arm around Helix.

“It’ll be weird for us to be together back home.”

“Why?”

“Everyone will know.”

“And this bothers you?” Gareth tightened his arm. “I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks. It’s none of their business what we do.”

“No, I agree. Like I said, it’ll just be weird living in that big house where everyone will know our business. I’m not used to so much scrutiny.”

“Eh, it’ll be old news fast. We have plenty to do there to keep everyone from paying attention too long. Once they know we’re together, it’ll be done.” He lifted his head again. “You are agreeing we’ll be together then.”

Helix didn’t say anything, making Gareth chuckle. He was a stubborn, stubborn man. But he knew he had him now and the knowledge made his heart beat faster. What they had wasn’t love, but it was well on its way to being that. His feelings were damn strong where Helix was concerned and he still wanted to know everything about the man.

“We’ll just take it one day at a time and see, okay?” Helix finally said as he stroked his hand up Gareth’s chest. He curled his fingers in the hair there, lightly rubbing over Gareth’s nipple. “We still have several hours before we have to leave.”

Gareth rolled over on top of Helix and grinned.

“Yeah, I don’t think I can take you again just yet.”

“Then we’ll just have to get creative,” Gareth whispered as he leaned down to kiss him.

Chapter 18

That afternoon, Gareth and Helix donned their suits and headed downtown. They blended in with the crowd of people leaving their offices in Kavaugh’s building. Both were quiet as they rode the elevator to the top floor and slipped into the supply closet where they put on the coveralls.

Then all they had to do was wait.
