Chapter Eighteen
Cass smelled Riley before he knocked. Cass’s stomach flipped with anticipation as he opened the door. Riley wore a cute stocking cap with a ridiculous puffball on top. His coat had seen better days.
Cass grabbed the coat and pulled Riley inside. It was a good thing Riley had a hold on the box he was carrying because Cass suddenly pulling him inside would have upended everything inside the box. Riley put the box on the nearest flat surface, which was a table at the end of the couch.
They were kissing before he kicked the door shut. Riley’s lips were cold at first, but it didn’t take long for them to warm up. The kiss set Cass on fire. How long had he been waiting to touch Riley? It felt like forever since the last time he’d held him. It had only been that afternoon, but it hadn’t been long enough. He needed all night and into the next morning. Even then, he doubted he’d get enough.
Riley felt right against him. Even wearing a heavy coat and thick scarf, he was still perfect in Cass’s arms.
Cass ended the kiss in favor of taking off Riley’s heavy winter clothes. His hands shook as he undid Riley’s coat buttons. When Riley tried to help, Cass noticed how he had the same problem.
When Cass chuckled, Riley’s gaze was confused, but he smiled. “What’s so funny?”
“We’re both so excited, we’re shaking.” Cass kissed Riley again. “I’m glad I’m not the only one.”
“Excited. That’s one way to put it.” Riley let his coat fall to the floor. “The last few hours were the longest of my life.”
“For me, too.” Cass probably should have just gone over to Zinnie’s kitchen. The only reason he didn’t was because he would end up holding Riley the whole time, which would have made it impossible for Riley to finish his baking tasks.
“Zinnie watched me walk over.” Riley bit his lip. “She thought I was just bringing you some baked goods.”
“I’m glad you were safe.” Cass took off Riley’s hat. His hair was mussed and standing on end. A few fine stands stuck up as if reaching for the ceiling.
Cass smiled and ran a hand down Riley’s hair, trying to tame it.
Riley’s cheeks turned pink, and he reached for his head. He stopped when his hand touched Cass’s. “It probably looks crazy.”
“You’re cute.” Cass kissed Riley’s lips. He intended to keep it brief in favor of disrobing Riley, but the peck lingered. “Sexy.”
Riley backed away just enough to kick off his boots and then he went right back into Cass’s arms.
Cass wasn’t sure who started it, but they kissed again. When he made demands, Riley met them, opening for him.
Riley tasted like cinnamon and coffee. He must have had a roll with a caffeine boost before coming over. He smelled like sugar. He was good enough to eat. Cass would start by licking every inch of his body.
Cass tried to move them toward the bedroom without ending the kiss, but they made it as far as the wall next to the bedroom door. He pressed Riley against it at first, ravaging him to the best of his ability. He had Riley’s shirt off and had started on his own when Riley flipped them, pressing Cass against the wall.
Riley grinned right before he went in for a kiss. He wasn’t submissive this time but made demands of his own.
So, it was going to be like that, huh?
Cass let Riley dominate the kiss. He opened for Riley, letting him get a taste. It was when Riley moaned and the kiss turned desperate, that Cass took over again.
He lifted Riley off his feet and made his way into the bedroom. Riley might have been smaller, but not by much. His thinness hid pure muscle. He was heavy, even for a wolf shifter who had superior strength. But Cass only had to go a few steps and they were at the bed.
Cass let him go and went to his knees, undoing Riley’s pants.
When their gazes met, Riley’s eyes were wide. “Are you gonna…”
“Taste your cock?” Cass pushed down Riley’s pants. “Yeah, baby.”
Riley stepped out of them when Cass asked him to. He only wore black underwear that hugged his ass and outlined his hard cock. When Cass ran his hand along the length of Riley’s cock, Riley sucked in a breath and let it out on a moan.
Cass kissed Riley’s cock through the fabric before pressing his nose against his hard length. His scent concentrated there. Even with the cotton barrier between them, it was strong.
Cass growled. “Smells so good.”
“Cass.” Riley gripped Cass’s hair.
