ETHAN
“Rhett, please…” I shifted my hips restlessly.
“Yes? Did you want something?” he asked in his husky sex voice designed to drive me wild. I was onto him. He did that on purpose.
It was a Thursday evening, and I’d dressed down in a pair of sweats and a T-shirt, thinking I’d be spending the night alone. He’d traded shifts with someone, though, and here we were on the futon again—with me desperate and him teasing me.
Without the bowtie, Rhett had zeroed in on my throat. He sucked my Adam’s apple, making me jolt. “Say it, Ethan. I promise I want to hear it.”
“Did you know alligators are always erect?” I blurted.
Rhett lifted his head to look at me.
Jesus, why did I say that?
“Really?”
“They keep it tucked inside their body, but yeah. Always ready to go.” I snorted an awkward laugh. “You’re probably wondering why I’m sharing alligator sex trivia right now.”
Rhett held up his thumb and forefinger a millimeter apart. “A little bit.”
“Sorry.”
“Don’t be. I find it strangely hot.”
“Yeah? Some lizards change their sex based on climate,” I said. “Males become female.”
“Okay, I like your equipment, so that’s less hot.” His hand finally cupped my hard dick through my pants. “Stay hard like an alligator for me.”
I groaned. That would be no trouble. It seemed as if I was hard for Rhett all the time, even when he wasn’t there.
“Love your lizard,” he whispered into my ear.
I giggled—straight up giggled like a child—and my whole body flashed hot. It was embarrassing and funny and…a tiny bit sexy that he was willing to take my geeky, nervous babble and roll with it.
“Did you know thatsomeanimals engage in oral sex of sorts?” I said. “Cheetahs and lions—”
“Ethan,” he cut in. “Is this your way of asking me to suck your dick?”
“Oh, god.”
His voice went even huskier. “Because I wouldloveto do that for you. I just need to hear that you want it.”
I shuddered. Just the thought of it was…fuck. Rhett’s skilled mouth on me. I’d come in seconds. Maybe I should offer to blow him first? I’d never done it, but the mechanics weren’t that complex. Put my mouth on him, use my tongue, suck.
“Ethan, you still with me?” Rhett had dropped the sex voice. He sounded concerned. “If I misread your intentions, I’m sorry. There’s no rush.”
I squeezed my eyes shut. “I want it.”
“You sure?”
I bit my bottom lip, feeling shy. “Mm-hmm.”
“Ethan, I need you to look at me.”
I grimaced and forced my eyes open. He was gazing down at me with way too much worry for a sexy hookup. There was a crease between his eyes.
“You’re really tense,” he said.
