Page 46 of Curtain Call
“Wait,” Colin tells him.
Colin grabs the Do Not Disturb sign and hangs it on the outside of the door before locking it. He doesn’t want anything, or anyone, interrupting something he has waited years for.
Riley locks his fingers with Colin’s and leads him up the few stairs into their one-room suite. The ivory and Champaign color scheme of the drapery and bedding were very luxurious. Crystal lamps were dimmed and offered the right amount of mood lighting.
“This room is gorgeous,” Riley mentions as he tosses the bag from the corner drugstore on the antique desk along with a small bag from the museum gift shop.
“I’m glad you like it.”
Colin is now kissing Riley in the privacy of their own room. There are no eyes on them in public where their kisses are affectionate but measured. Here, in this room, they are free to kiss any way Riley wants. Colin lets him.
Colin moves his mouth to the side of Riley’s neck, and Riley absolutely fucking loves it. Having Colin’s mouth on his body is enough to make him want to come out of his skin and he is starting to get half-hard. His knees shake. Colin moves his mouth down to Riley’s collar bone leaving a trail of wetness in his path.
“I want you on the bed,” Colin tells him.
“Your wish is my command,” Riley grins.
Riley walks over to the bed with Colin still holding on tightly. Like a kid not wanting to let go of his favorite toy for fear he may lose it. He also likes the fact that Colin is taking charge. When he makes it to the edge of the bed, he reaches up and turns off the lamp before kicking off his shoes. A soft glow of gold fills the room from the far lamp.
When Colin lifts off his shirt, Riley melts before reluctantly taking off his own before crawling onto the bed. The shadows of the room painted across Colin’s chest change shape as he hovers his body over Riley’s. The heat between their torsos is going to leave third-degree burns. Colin closes the gap as he presses Riley into the mattress.
Riley’s eyes roll into the back of his head when Colin’s mouth makes its way down to his chest while he brings a hand up and teases his waistband.
“Holy, shit,” Riley says as he digs the back of his head deeper into the pillow while thrusting his hips upward. Colin wants to destroy him. Seeing Riley like this is hotter than he could have ever imagined.
Colin’s mouth kisses down to his sternum while his thumb slips under the waistband. He slides his thumb across Riley’s waist to the button of his jeans. With a quick flick, the button releases and Colin’s tongue finds his navel as the zipper is pulled downward.
“Oh, fuck.”
The room begins to spin, and Riley is transported to another world. It’s been a long time since Riley has been with someone. Someone he liked as much as Colin. He has wanted this for so long that he…nope, Riley was not going to overanalyze this. He just wants to be in this moment. Right now. Here. With Colin.
Riley’s jeans are pulled down. He doesn’t object when his boxer briefs slip off with them. There he is, gripping the bedspread fully exposed, and there is no turning back now. When Colin’s hand finds its way to Riley’s exposed parts, which are now fully erect, Colin’s grin sweeps across his whole face.
Riley moans.
He rocks his body with every movement.
Riley places his hand on top of Colin’s and stops him.
“Wait.”
Colin looks up at Riley with a raised brow. Was he doing it wrong? Was this not feeling good? With all his force, Riley sat up pushing Colin onto his back. He straddled him and could feel the rough fabric of his jeans underneath him. Colin was pressing through them, and Riley could feel that too.
Riley leans over and kisses him passionately. His hands were up in Colin’s hair gripping him while rocking his hips. He felt this was safe since Colin was still partially dressed, for now.
Colin took his hands and cupped Riley’s ass before Riley took his own hands and unbuttoned Colin’s pants. Colin lifted his hips as Riley pulled them off in the same movement Colin did his own minutes ago. Riley wasn’t sure where to go from here. He wanted to destroy this man sexually, but at the same time, he wanted to protect him. He laid his naked body across the top of Colin’s and opted to kiss him with more emotion and passion than he has ever kissed anyone.
He rolled off Colin, laid next to him, and softly caressed his body with the back of his fingertips. The contrast of his light skin moving across Colin’s dark skin was hypnotic. The warmth of Colin’s body against his made him want to stay tucked in like this forever.
“You know, we can just cuddle like this all night. We don’t have to do anything more than this,” Colin tells him.
Riley leans into his side and kisses his ribcage before climbing back on top. Colin’s hands grab a hold of Riley’s hips to steady him.
“Not a chance.”
In the morning, Riley realizes he hasn’t slept this well in a long time. He stretches and turns over onto his back.
“Good morning,” he whispers to the quiet room before making a loud yawn.
