“We need to get off this bedspread,” he said, rising over Merck so he could rub their throbbing cocks together. Forget about Merck, Jace knew he was about to shoot his own load. “This could get messy.”
Merck didn’t look like he cared at that moment, but with some urging Jace got him up and together they managed to shove pillows off and the bedspread and blankets down to the foot of the bed.
“Oh, fuck, sexy as hell, sweetheart,” Jace said, eyeing the black satin sheets. A shiver of pleasure ran over his skin as he anticipated coming in contact with the luxurious material. “I hope we don’t slide right off the bed.”
“It’ll be worth it,” Merck said, reaching for him.
Strong arms encircled powerful bodies. They pressed together, rubbing over each other, straining as they kissed and caressed feverishly. Tongues explored and stroked. Hands explored and stroked. Throbbing cocks pressed against one another as the sweat began to bead on their straining bodies and their hearts pounded against their ribs. When they finally broke off the kiss they were panting hard, staring at one another. Jace reached up to slide his fingers through the silky, reddish-brown hair. It was much lighter than the dark curls at his groin.
“I’m going to suck your cock now,” he whispered, rubbing their noses together. “Then I’m going to fuck you. Are you ready for me, baby?”
A large hand stroked him from shoulder to the curve of his ass, pulling their cocks close again. Amber eyes were filled with liquid fire. “Yes, I’m ready. I love the names you call me. No one has ever done that before.”
Jace sprinkled kisses over the other man’s face. “They should have. You’re so hot and sweet, quite the most tempting man I’ve ever met. They don’t know what they missed out on by not treating you the way you deserve.”
Merck was a moaning and trembling mess by the time Jace slowly licked and kissed his way down his body, taking a moment to tease both nipples again, before sliding the tip of his tongue the short distance from bellybutton to the wide, spongy head of Merck’s cock. Though he was going to love the cock with his mouth, he couldn’t wait for it to be buried in his ass. He’d bottom with the right partner and he hoped, no prayed, Merck would be willing to top him. They could be so perfect together. They
would
be perfect together. Jace could feel it in the depths of his being.
Shifting his body Jace kneeled between strong legs. Wrapping his fingers around the long, thick cock, he kissed and licked the purplish head, tasting Merck’s pre-cum for the first time. It was salty, tangy, and delicious. Without losing another moment, he opened his mouth and slid it down the length, sucking and licking, working his way down until the head hit the back of his throat. As he did so he began stroking the tight ring of muscles between the firm mounds of Merck’s ass. Though he didn’t have the lube, he managed to work a finger into the man’s asshole. They both moaned as he worked it in and out. When Merck had relaxed enough he inserted a second finger, curling the tips until he reached the sensitive gland. As soon as he stroked it the cock in his mouth turned to velvet-covered steel and erupted. Jace opened his eyes and looked up the length of his lover’s body to see the ecstasy crossing the handsome face. It was a sight he would never forget.
Taking one last lick of the softening cock, Jace released it. Then he was withdrawing his fingers and reaching for the condom and lube. It was time to do this right. Merck pulled his legs back, offering himself completely, unconditionally, watching as Jace rolled the condom down the length of his cock then spread lube over it. After squirting some on his fingers he tossed the tube away.
“Are you ready for me, baby?” he asked, sliding two of his fingers back into Merck’s loosened ring of muscles.
“Yes, Jace, I want you.”
He worked the lube in, scissoring his fingers, until he could insert three, then four. “I’m going to claim you. I don’t think I’ll be able to let you go after this.”
Amber eyes filled with something Jace hadn’t really expected to ever see in another’s eyes. Sure, he dreamed of finding someone to love him, but never had he expected it to hit him like a freight train.
“I don’t think I’ll want you to let me go. I really think I’m falling in love with you.”
Jace guided the head of his cock to the man’s twitching opening, then pressed in, a harsh moan of pleasure escaping him as the dark, silky channel seemed to pull him in. “Keep falling, baby. I’ll catch you.” And he meant it. Never in his life had he felt like this about someone and he wasn’t about to screw it up now by treating it as if there was nothing between them but lust.
Strong legs locked around his hips even as Merck reached for him. Jace pushed his cock into the other man, sliding home, bottoming out. The strong body beneath his bowed and they froze like that, savoring the moment, staring hotly into one another’s eyes. They saw so much of what was the other was feeling, seeing it, recognizing it, without having to say a word. Jace groaned as he lowered his head, capturing the firm, tempting mouth with his.
Jace found he could have kissed Merck all night long. As it was all he could do was break the kiss so he could focus all his attention on stroking his cock in and out of the tight channel fitting around his rigid flesh like a glove.
While he wanted to make love to the man beneath him for hours Jace knew this first time wasn’t going to last long. The cock between them was hardening again. He smiled down at Merck. “Stroke your cock for me, sweetheart. I want you to come when I do.”
They did, together, the fieriness of their release winding around and through them. Jace’s body jerked hard, his balls drawing up tight as they emptied, powerful jets of semen pumping from his body and into Merck’s. The cock between them erupted, spraying them both with pearly white ropes of cum. He stared in awe at the ecstasy transforming the face of the man beneath him. The amber eyes were closed, the firm mouth slightly open, the square jaw was tight as Merck gasped for breath.
Jace leaned down to kiss him, taking his breath from him. “You’re so beautiful, precious,” he whispered, meaning every word of it. Amber eyes opened slowly and he was lost forever.
* * * *
Merck couldn’t believe what had just taken place. His entire being was floating far above him, someplace where ecstasy and love bonded together. Jace left him on the bed to go into the bathroom. Merck couldn’t have moved if he tried. His body felt boneless, his muscles as capable of moving his mass as limp noodles. There was cum drying on his belly, but he couldn’t find it in himself to care. When and how had he managed to fall in love within the matter of a couple of hours? Was it even possible?
Sitting up, he glanced around the room and felt his face heat up. He hadn’t ever brought anyone in here before. Not a man. Not a woman. Usually, he didn’t bring anyone home with him, when an impersonal motel room suited the bill for quick sex just fine.
There had been something special about Jace Hunter from the very moment he had met the man. The instant attraction had felt like a fiery rope between them, binding them together. That would be the only reason he could give himself for bringing a stranger home to his bed, to see a part of him that was so intimate he had never shown it to anyone before. Even his mothers didn’t snoop through his house without invitation. That would have been just plain rude. If he was giving parties at his house he was careful to lock the door so no one wandered in.
Looking around again as he rose from the bed and reached for his pants, Merck wondered why he had exposed so much of himself to a stranger. Maybe it was because he had wanted to share this part of himself for so long. He had a need to have beautiful things around him and not have to be so fucking macho all the time.
He hadn’t quite been telling the truth earlier when he had told Jace that a wife or wives would probably change this room. If he married he had no plans on keeping this room. It was for the here and now. There was a large master suite upstairs he planned on sharing with his wives and partners.
When Jace finally came out of the bathroom Merck smiled and moved by him. He washed up with a soapy cloth then tossed it into the hamper. Leaning against the counter, he wondered where it, whatever it was, was going to go next. He closed his eyes and wondered if he was expecting too much. The man had been like fire in his arms. It was like every dream he’d ever had, except that a lot of those dreams included a woman.
Powerful arms wrapped around his middle, pulling him back against the hard wall of Jace’s body. As he had before, he rested his head on the man’s shoulder. Opening his eyes Merck looked at their images in the mirror over the sink and his heart began pounding in his chest. It was echoed by the heart he could feel beating against his back.
He watched as Jace kissed his neck. “I told you I’d catch you. Don’t ever worry about falling. I’ll always be here for you.”
A man could have dreams, a perfect fantasy. It seemed at least one was coming true. Taking a leap of faith, Merck nodded. “I want that,” he whispered, offering the man everything, praying his instincts weren’t misleading him.
Jace smiled. It was a wicked smile, full of promises. “Good. Then we’re on the same page about one thing.”
Merck turned in his arms and wrapped his own around the other man’s neck. He liked that Jace was taller than him. It wasn’t by much, but it was enough to satisfy something in him. Maybe it just made him feel protected, loved, and cherished.
“I think we should go eat before we forget about food again,” he suggested, pulling back with a smile. “We’ve got all night for the rest.”
Once they were in the kitchen Merck reheated the fried chicken and potatoes and put the plates of food on the kitchen table. Jace had gotten them a couple of cold beers out of the fridge, replacing them with the ones he’d brought home.
“What are we going to do about Piper?” Jace asked curiously after he pulled a strip of breast meat off the bone. “She’s going to be really unhappy when she discovers I’ve tracked her down. Meeting her probably won’t go well at all. I’m afraid I’ll represent everything she tried to get away from.” He paused, and then asked curiously, “Does she know you live in Silver?”
Merck shrugged. “I haven’t a clue. I hadn’t seen her before today. But I don’t get into town much this time of year. There’s too much to do. How long ago did she get away from you?”
“A week. I’ve had to make some evasive moves to be certain I wasn’t being followed. Her father, or at least his people, will probably show up soon. The man didn’t get where he is by being an idiot. And he has more resources than many governments. No, he’ll be here soon enough to retrieve his daughter and take her home.”
“Unless we can stop him.”
“And how do you propose we do that?”
“Make her ours. Make her want to stay so much she won’t let him bully her into going back.”
Jace grinned, which did funny things to his heart. Merck stared. “I like the way you think. What about this Colt guy she’s staying with?”
“That’s another matter altogether. Without ever having met Barrows, I suspect Colt is in every way his equal. I wonder how Piper knows him. She might not need us at all, if she has Colt’s support. That is one man who isn’t afraid of anything or anyone.”
But Jace was shaking his head. “Well, neither am I. And I suspect you aren’t afraid, either. The woman is going to need us. She was giving me all kinds of hot looks when she didn’t think I’d notice. I’m determined to give her a chance to get to know the real me, not the bodyguard me.”
“That would probably be better,” Jace teased. “You weren’t so good at that anyway.”
He ducked when a fried potato wedge flew in his direction. Laughing, he grabbed his beer and took a long pull. Then he was setting the bottle down carefully and rising from his chair. Their gazes locked and the chase was on. Two big men running through the house sounded like bulls had gotten in. Their deep laughter mingled as they ran into the bedroom and the door slammed behind them. Merck lunged and lifted Jace off his feet, tossing him into the center of the bed.
“I think we can wait until tomorrow to think of ways to convince Piper that she needs to be with us,” he told Jace, his voice growing husky as he began to place kisses over the man’s bare torso. “Your body is perfect. So strong. And I love the tattoos.” Most of them were on the man’s back and shoulders, but the tail of a dragon wrapped around his left upper arm while a scale-clawed foot with long talons clung to his right. “And I love these,” Merck added, getting an opportunity now to play since the edge had been taken off and they were no longer desperate. He ran a fingertip over the small bar inserted in each dark-brown nipple. The flesh puckered and he smiled as Jace moaned. “How much do you want me to suck these?”
Jace laughed shakily. His big hands stroked over Merck’s head and neck, his touch light, tracing with the tips of his fingers. “I don’t think I could tell you how much I want your hot mouth on me. Why don’t we get undressed before things heat up too much more.”
Merck helped him out of his jeans, and then wriggled out of his own as he tried not to leave the bed. They laughed when Jace had to help him. They were panting and eager for one another by the time they finished.
“No,” Merck groaned when Jace would have sucked his cock again. “I want to love on you for a while. It seems only fair. Will you let me?” he asked, pushing himself up on an elbow as Jace settled against the black satin sheets. “You are so fucking hot.” His cock agreed silently, throbbing against his belly. “Can I ask you one thing?”
