“I’m sorry.”
Liam exhaled and turned to me, gathering me close. “You have nothing to be sorry for.” Trouble still brewed in his eyes, but he teased his lips against mine. “Let’s go back out there.”
“Are you sure you’re up for company? I can tell them to leave.”
“I’m sure. I want to get to know your people.”
“I’m not sure Shane qualifies as a person.” I laughed and dragged Liam back toward the living room. Worry for Liam and that phone call still nagged at me, but I pushed it to the back of my mind and focused on enjoying the moment.
Chapter 20
Liam
BrodieandIhadgone back to living in a bubble, we’d just changed locations. Part of me didn’t mind, but another part of me recognized that in order to have a life together, we had to build one. And we couldn’t do that by existing only in each other’s orbits and having copious amounts of sex.
We’d spent the past few days getting the rest of his things unpacked and I’d called to make arrangements to have my clothes express shipped here. They arrived last night and Brodie helped hang my clothes in his closet. If he thought I didn’t notice the way he smiled the whole time, he was mistaken.
I kissed the nape of Brodie’s neck. “Wake up, sleepyhead. I want to take you to breakfast.”
Brodie grumbled, but nestled in closer. The warmth of his body made me almost too hot to be comfortable, so I kicked the covers off despite his weak protests.
“What if I get cold?” Brodie rasped, still half asleep. I trailed my hand down his chest, flicking a nipple gently before sliding it lower. He let out a disgruntled sound when I avoided his cock.
“You’re a tease,” Brodie protested and wiggled his ass against my cock. “Lucky for me, I have the same playbook as you.”
I dragged my teeth over his skin in the promise of a bite. He sucked in a breath and let it out with a moan. God, I loved working him up like this. All loose and sleepy and warm, he felt malleable, like putty in my hands.
I’d woken up with a cock so hard I could pound nails like I did every morning I woke up next to Brodie. His ass pressed against my dick again and it was my turn to groan when he slowly ground his ass against me. I grabbed his hip and pulled him against me, trapping him there the best I could, but that didn’t stop him from writhing.
“You’re trouble,” I whispered against his skin.
“You started it.”
I twisted away and grabbed the lube off the nightstand.
“How do you feel? Are you sore?”
“Not if you’re nice. I don’t think I could take what we did last night, but I still need you.”
I planted kisses against his neck, peppered his skin with love as if I could heal him with my touch.
“We don’t have to. There are other ways I can make you happy.”
“I want you to,” Brodie whispered like it was a secret that he wanted me. That I wanted him back twice as much.
I handed the lube to Brodie and held out my open hand. He squirted a generous amount into my hand.
“Thank you, love. I’ll be careful with you, but you have to tell me if it’s too much.”
Brodie’s whole body went limp at the first brush of my fingers against his hole. As good as he was on top, he was even better on the bottom. It was his favored position, but he didn’t mind switching it up once in a while.
Despite having fucked him right before bed, he was tight as a drum again. Tracing the soft skin of his rim, I slicked him up, softening him with my touch before I dared to slide a finger inside him.
Brodie moaned and his body relaxed even further, welcoming me inside him.
“Don’t make me wait.” His voice was already choked with pleasure. The tips of his ears had turned pink. It made me wish I could see the look on his face. I loved the soft expressions he made when we were together, the way he looked at me like I was the only thing he saw in the whole universe.
Gently, I withdrew my finger from his ass and motioned for him to give me more lube.
