Page 20 of Benicio

“Wait.” David held up a hand. “I don’t have an itch that needs to be scratched. I thought…” He looked away.

“Thought what?” Benicio cupped David’s chin and made the man look at him. “Talk to me, love.”

“Nothing.” David looked up at him and gave a wobbly smile. “I’m reading too much into this.”

Had Benicio offended him in some way? Sadly, he couldn’t recall the last lover he’d taken. It had been that long. It was evident that his social skills were rusty, and the last thing he wanted to do was offend his lover.

Benicio was a lot of things. Cold, distant, ruthless, and so many other unflattering things, but the one thing he was not was a callous lover. He gave just as much as he took. He wanted David just as satisfied when this was over.

“I…” Benicio couldn’t force himself to finish what he wanted to say. He was tired of going it alone, tired of being the tyrant everyone thought him to be. He knew his actions hadn’t helped change that opinion, but when people looked at you like evil personified, like you were the living, breathing boogeyman, you tended to take on that role.

But with David, Benicio felt his softer side coming out, a side he hadn't been acquainted with in a very, very long time.

David rolled to his back, his gaze glued to Benicio’s, then palmed his cock and gave the heated, hard flesh a few strokes.

Benicio was powerless to do anything but stand there and watch. David was like a seductive imp, out to steal Benicio’s heart. Out to steal his senses. For the first time in months, the pain wasn’t at the forefront of Benicio’s mind.

David was.

“Stop standing there staring at me like you have no idea what to do with me.” David shoved Benicio onto the bed like a wildcat, pouncing on him, making Benicio chuckle.

David arched a brow. “Was that a laugh?”

“No.” Benicio schooled his features, loving how playful David was.

“I think that was an actual laugh. Not one given in surprise but an actual, genuine laugh. I just might have a heart attack.” He pressed his hand against his chest and fell to the side, as if he was truly having one.

“It was a simple, small laugh,” Benicio said. “You don’t have to make a production out of it.”

David propped his head on his hand. “I like how it sounded. You should do it more often. My next trick is to get you to give me a big, booming laugh.”

Benicio snarled, pulling David closer, but the guy pushed Benicio away. He didn’t understand what was going on until David took one of Benicio’s nipples between his lips. Benicio arched his back and hissed, cupping David’s head.

Then David switched to the other nipple, teasing the pebbled nub. Benicio’s body woke with a vengeance. His cock had become painfully harder. His head spun, and tiny jolts of electricity shot through him.

David moved lower, kissing and nipping Benicio’s stomach and sides. He swirled his tongue around Benicio’s naval then used his teeth to pull at the hairs that led from his naval to his cock.

Benicio felt so close to the edge already. How had he forgotten just how amazing sex was? With his pain, with ruling over the council, his duties, and his fear of being used, he’d kept himself closed off from others.

Now all he wanted to do was drown in the emotions flooding him.

David moved until he was settled between Benicio’s spread legs, and then he kissed Benicio’s inner thighs. It was the most intimate thing Benicio had felt in ages. More intimate than the act of sex itself. His legs trembled. Benicio swallowed roughly. He couldn’t tear his gaze away from what David was doing to him.

His lover mouthed Benicio’s balls, sucking them in and using his tongue to lavish them. Benicio was barely holding on to his control. He groaned, closing his eyes briefly, and then opened them, because he didn’t want to miss a second of this.

At that moment, Benicio would have given David anything he asked for. That was dangerous thinking, but he’d been attracted to the vampire since laying eyes on him. Had wanted him desperately. He felt a connection to David that confused him, but Benicio wasn’t going to lie there and examine his feelings while the vampire was seducing him.

When David used the flat of his tongue to work his way up Benicio’s cock, Benicio had to curl his hands into the bedding to stop himself from cupping David’s head and fucking his mouth like a savage beast. Although he couldn’t stop his hips from bucking, driving his cock farther into the amazing heat of David’s mouth.

God, the man was sucking him so hard that Benicio was mindless. He threw his legs farther apart as he began to fuck David’s mouth.

But his lover wasn’t having that. David pressed Benicio’s hips down, keeping them in place as he ran his tongue around the head, pulling the pre-cum out like honey, and then he dove right back down onto Benicio’s cock.

“Damn, David…fuck!” Benicio shouted and then gritted his teeth, staving off his orgasm. He wasn’t about to let this moment end so soon, but if David kept up his pace, Benicio was a goner.

His damn legs were shaking as David rode Benicio’s cock with his lips, sliding them up and down his shaft, faster and faster. His head was bobbing, the suction tight, and Benicio felt like his damn brain was melting into the side of his skull.

“David…please…god!” Benicio threw his head back and ground his back molars. He wasn’t going to be able to hold off. Not when David was sucking him so damn good.
