“Oh. Okay then,” Darien said, and shot him a wicked grin as their lips finally parted. “Uh … how about I show you my apartment?”
Noah smirked and then stepped out of the car without a word. None were needed, not when action could serve just as well, if not better. Side by side, they walked to the elevator, and the doors slid smoothly aside to reveal mirrored walls.
Those mirrors showed Noah a sight which he’d never seen before, himself aroused and eager. His slim body, inclined toward Darien’s, and their eyes met through the safe medium of the silvered glass.
In a moment, they were on each other again. Darien put his hands on Noah’s shoulders, and he found himself pinned to the wall of the elevator as it smoothly rose up into the air. He gave himself to the kiss eagerly, and when Darien pushed a leg between Noah’s and when he let Noah rub on him, Noah couldn’t have kept himself from rutting against that thigh even if he’d tried to.
But he didn’t try. He’d already given himself completely over to this moment, to what was growing between them, and it felt so completely right. So utterly without a single flaw to rock their bodies together.
They even fit together, Noah noticed. He’d noticed it a year ago when Darien had pulled him into his arms and cradled his body with his own. Darien was tall enough that his body could wrap around Noah’s small, slender form, and he felt safe and warm and protected, utterly cherished.
It was dangerous. Saying that he would give in to the sex, that he would just let it happen, was one thing, but how was he going to deal with the emotions that Darien so easily raised in him? He’d pledged to keep his heart out of this, but how on earth was he supposed to do that when part of him wanted to just hand it right over to Darien every time they kissed?
Closing his eyes, Noah focused on the sensations, on the physical. He could deal with that, and Darien’s body was so hot against his, burning even through the layers of their clothes.
Sex, he reminded himself. Just sex. That’s what this was, and for now, it was all that it could be.
