Page 6 of The Tech Guru's Heart

With that thought in mind, Ezra began to withdraw.

Link held him tightly for a few more heartbeats before he eased his hold.Lifting his head a few inches, he peered down at him.A wide smile curved his lips.

“Taste just as amazing as I thought you would,” Link declared.

With his brain not firing on all cylinders after Link’s ravishing, Ezra asked the first thing that popped into it.“How did you know I wouldn’t deck you?”

“Just knew.”Link’s lips curved at the corners, and his dark eyes danced with mirth.“Straight guys would’ve at least pushed at someone my size.”With a wink, he added, “You participated.”

“Yeah,” Ezra muttered, taking a step backward while rubbing the back of his neck.“Yeah, I did.”He glanced toward Amelia, feeling self-conscious.To his relief, she was staring at her arm, repositioning the ice-filled cloth.Clearing his throat, Ezra kept his voice low as he swept his gaze over Link assessingly.“We seem to have chemistry.”

“Yup.”Link brazenly reached down and adjusted the big bulge behind his fly.“That we do.”

Meeting Link’s gaze, Ezra nearly swallowed his tongue upon seeing the obvious heat filling the big man’s dark eyes.“You, uh—” He paused, licking his lips as he made a mental decision—to offer or not?“I live next door.”Ezra indicated to the left, decidingwhat the hell.“After Tucker arrives, maybe stop by so we can, um, talk about it?”

Ezra sure as hell hoped that Link understoodtalkingwas a euphemism.With how hard his dick had become just from that kiss, he sure hoped there wouldn’t be any talking.Skanky, maybe, but Ezra wanted to see what Link was packing.

“Wanna bad,” Link muttered, his thick dark brows furrowing.“But can’t.”

Man of few words.Huh.

The thought flittered through Ezra’s lust-clouded brain even as disappointment filled him.“Oh.”Opening his mouth, he began to ask, “Why—”

“Got my nephew’s birthday cake in my truck...and groceries.”Growling under his breath, Link muttered, “Bad timing, but I wouldn’t have been in the area otherwise.”

Ezra had the distinct impression that Link was talking more to himself than to him.

I wonder if he does that often.

“Want your number,” Link declared, finally releasing Ezra’s jaw to reach into his back pocket.“I’ll call you tonight.Can you do lunch tomorrow?Nephew’s party’s in the evening, but I wanna see you before then.”

Okay.Maybe not a man of few words.Definitely direct, though.

Ezra could appreciate that, even if it seemed a little awkward to him.The guy obviously went after what he wanted.

And it seems he currently wants to spend time with me.

Hmmm.

Link stared at Ezra, holding his cell phone—a device that Ezra saw was top of the line.He’d priced the model when it’d come out just three months before.After seeing the chunk of change it would cost, Ezra had changed his mind.No way did he have that kind of money to splurge.

Maybe computer security pays well.

After sharing his phone number with Link, Ezra asked, “So, uh, you’re going to call me tonight?”

Nodding, Link smiled at him.“Yeah.To finalize plans.See where you wanna meet.”

Ezra nodded.“Okay.Talk to you later.”

“Just so you remember to pick up.”

Before Ezra could question that cryptic comment, Link dipped his head and took his lips again.He plundered Ezra’s mouth for several heartbeats before lifting his head, breaking the kiss.The big man’s nostrils were flared, and his dark eyes gleamed with lust.

“Get out of here,” Link muttered, releasing his hip and taking a step backward.“Before Amelia ends up seein’ somethin’ she don’t want to.”

Ezra sucked in a sharp breath as the image of Link bending him over the back of Amelia’s couch popped into his mind.His cock throbbed behind his fly, even as an embarrassed uneasiness filled him.He definitely didn’t want that to happen.

Taking the out, Ezra turned and fled.
