Page 54 of Meet You in the Waves
I couldn’t wait any longer, opening my door to the hallway just as Ajay made it onto the landing. He looked like a dream in just those silky boxers, the ones I had peeled down his legs last night and my mouth dried out.
He grinned at me, all gorgeous curls and those enormous eyes as he tiptoed down the hallway, grimacing at the door where Kira was hopefully fast asleep. He successfully skirted the squeaky floorboard, the one that had given me the very welcome heads-up about his visit last night. The visit I’d been secretly hoping and praying for.
Ajay was on me the moment I closed the door behind him, his kiss tinged with the same desperation I was feeling for him. He pushed me towards the bed and I went willingly, liking this new assertive side of him that I’d only had a glimpse of yet. The one where he took what he wanted. And right now what he wanted was me.
I had no complaints. I was very, very much on the same page.
Ajay’s hands were on my chest, sliding down to trace the ridges of my abs as he climbed on top of me while I just held on for the ride. His gorgeous body slotted in with mine, his legs straddling my waist as my hands delved from their exploration of his curls down to cup his delicious ass.
He moaned as I pulled him down, our bodies colliding as I ground up into him. I chased that sound with my tongue, wanting more of this gorgeous boy, as much as he was willing to give me.
Ajay kissed down my jaw, his breaths coming in hurried little pants, desperate and needy and wanting more, more, more.
“What do you want, Ajay?” I rasped, his curls ticklish on my neck. I’d give him anything he wanted at this rate.
Ajay paused and looked down at me, his big beautiful brown eyes so full of lust and need as he studied my face, his expression serious all of a sudden.
“We should have sex,” he said. No warning. My stomach swooped at those words just as my heart gave a deep, resounding thud.
“Ah,” I managed. Zero points for eloquence but my tongue had gone missing all of a sudden, my mouth completely drying out as Ajay watched me with those expressive eyes.
“Only if you want to,” he quickly added, misinterpreting my sudden bout of incoherence. I gripped him by the waist and twisted our positions so that I hovered over him, seeing the small smile on his face at my little show of dominance.
“Oh sweet boy, that part was never in doubt,” I assured him, wanting to lick up that little smile as it spread further up that sweet face. “But let’s not forget you still thought you were straight yesterday morning. We don’t need to rush anything. I’ll be here the whole summer break. We can take this as slow as you need.”
“I don’t need slow, Nick,” Ajay replied, only truth in his words. “And I’m pretty sure I stopped thinking I was straight the moment I laid eyes on you. Definitely after your little pep talk about the sexuality scale.”
“Hmmm,” I murmured, ducking down to trace a kiss along his neck, needing the moment to disconnect from those delicious eyes while I battled my conscience.
Did I want to have sex with Ajay? That would be a hell yes. Did I think we should? That was what the jury of ethics was still out contemplating.
“Please, Nick,” Ajay whispered. I risked a glance up at him then, those soulful eyes penetrating right to the heart of me and taking all my apprehensions right along with them. “I want to feel it.”
“Feel what?”
“Feel what it’s like to have you inside me.”
I let out a deep groan. “Oh, Ajay,” I murmured. “I’m trying to do the right thing here.”
“What’s wrong about this?” Ajay asked, an innocence to his question that had me buckling again. “I want you. You want me. We both want this.”
“You’re right. We both really,reallywant this,” I conceded, watching as that smile grew even wider. I was pretty certain I had imagined this very moment in my head the first time I’d seen Ajay and his sweet face and head full of gorgeous curls walking down the beach with my brother. Him, beneath me,begging for more. Him, nowhere near as innocent as those big brown eyes suggested.
Those same eyes held mine, truth and honesty undeniable in them. I sucked in a breath. “I’ll jump off the deep end with you if you think you can swim.”
“Will you catch me, Nick?”
“Always, Ajay,” I promised, more truth in those words than I was ready to admit. “Always.”
“Then let’s do this,” he replied, a certainty in those eyes that had me falling so deep I wasn’t sure I’d ever get back up. Forget about me catching him if he fell.Iwas the one at risk of drowning here.
“I trust you with me,” he went and added.
Fuuuck.
Well then.
Conscience battled, I broke away from him, rifling through my drawers for lube and condoms. I hadn’t used them in a while so I had to dig a little deep. I set some music playing softly in the background, well aware that there was a cohort of people sleeping right alongside us up here who might not be so pleased as I was about what me and Ajay were about to do.
