Page 128 of Forgotten Promise

It started off slow and sweet, with just a press of lips, chaste and almost reverent.

Benjamin’s patience broke first, desire roaring through him. He tightened his fingers in John’s hair, forced the other man’s head back, and deepened the kiss. John yielded, let him in so their tongues could touch and dance. They broke apart, both panting. At some point, John had released his wrist and now they were holding each other.

John nipped his lower lip, and Benjamin ran his hands down John’s bare back to his equally bare ass. Benjamin had pulled his lounge pants back on before they came inside, but John was naked.

Benjamin gripped his ass, felt the muscles tighten.

“It was killing you not to take control, wasn’t it?” John’s voice was low, intimate.

“I’ve been dying inside every day for the past five weeks,” Benjamin replied. “But I’d get on my knees and submit every time if that’s what it takes to keep you. Both of you.”

John opened his mouth, but Benjamin cut him off.

“But since it’s not necessary, right now, you’re mine. You’re going to submit to me. Let me fuck this tight ass.” Benjamin dug his fingers into John’s buttocks once more.

“Bossy,” he said, but his cock was rock hard against Benjamin’s thighs.

“Later, I’ll let you fuck Kailani while I fuck you.”

“Let me?” John’s eyes narrowed and he shifted, grabbing Benjamin’s hips and shoving him away.

Benjamin allowed it, only to give him space to grab John’s arm and spin him toward the bed. He’d intended to shove him face down over the edge of the bed, the perfect position to play with his ass, plug him, in preparation for anal, but John anticipated the move. He turned, landing on his back on the bed and yanking Benjamin down on top of him.

Benjamin landed, hands braced on either side of John’s shoulders, arms in a push-up position, their faces inches apart.

John grinned, then raised his head and kissed Benjamin. He lowered himself, and for once, he didn’t bother to keep some of his weight on his hands. He lay on John’s muscled chest—a move that would have crushed Kailani—and kissed him, long and slow and sweet.

It didn’t stay sweet. Soon, they were once again dueling for control of the kiss, their tongues tangled, breath mingled. They battled for dominance, and Benjamin suspected their lives would be one long string of alpha battles in their bedroom. He looked forward to it.

Benjamin pushed up. John had a hand on the back of his head because Benjamin’s hair was too short for John to use as a handle.

“I would never do something you don’t want,” Benjamin whispered. “And if you don’t want me to fuck you right now, that’s fine. If you don’t want me to ever fuck you, that’s fine, but if that’s the case, know that I will seduce you. And I can be very persuasive.”

“You always get what you want,” John said, smiling.

“Yes.” Benjamin looked over his shoulder at Kailani, at the one person he’d wanted desperately and thought he’d never have. “Yes, I do.”

“And right now you want…”

Benjamin looked back at John, saw the uncertainty in his eyes. He raised a brow. “Are you doubting how much I want you?” Benjamin rolled his hips, grinding his dick against John’s.

“Well, I kissed you first. I came on to you, back in Denver.”

“You think I didn’t want to kiss you first? That I wasn’t desperate for both of you?” Benjamin shook his head. “I was the asshole no one wanted. I couldn’t let myself want you, knowing there was no chance I’d get to be with you.”

John’s expression softened, and his hand stroked Benjamin’s cheek. Benjamin turned into it and kissed his palm. This wild swing from battle to tenderness shouldn’t have felt as natural and easy as it did.

“I want,” John said, “you to fuck me. Then I want to fuck you. And after that, well… We’ll have to battle it out to see who gets to be in control.”

Benjamin pushed to his feet, looking down at John, whose erect cock jutted straight up, the curves and hard planes of his muscles on beautiful display.

“Slide up, I want you in the middle of the bed.”

John inched back, until his whole body was on the mattress. Benjamin looked back at Kailani, who jumped out of her seat.

Benjamin reached for John’s legs, planning to use them as leverage to flip him over, but John braced himself, smirking.

“Roll over and get that ass in the air,” Benjamin growled.
