“I am pretty cute.” He bumped his ass backward. “You planning on doing anything about it?”
“Maybe. It’s early. Cookie’s still snoozing.”
“Well, by all means. If the dog approves...”
Garrick’s answering chuckle confirmed that this sort of light banter was what he was after that morning. Later there would be plenty of time to talk more seriously with him, but if he needed easy and sexy, then Rain could be that too. He rolled slightly, intending to end up face-to-face, but Garrick caught him up in a bear hug as he turned, using the momentum to wind up flat on his back, Rain stretched out on top of him.
“This okay?” Rain’s weight was more fully on Garrick than usual.
“Pretty sure that should be my question.” Garrick’s eyes sparkled up at Rain. “This is awesome. And goes along with a sexy thought I had in the shower.”
“Mmm. Tell me.”
“Easier to show you.” Shoving his hands down the back of Rain’s underwear, Garrick grinned, all sinful promise and playful energy. It was a fairly boring pair of underwear as far as Rain’s collection went—silky sky blue boy-cut shorts—but Garrick didn’t seem to care as he growled low and massaged Rain’s ass.
Eager to be skin to skin, Rain happily helped by wriggling as Garrick pushed the fabric down. The scrap of fabric fluttered to the floor as Garrick pulled him tight, cocks dragging together. Rain barely had time to appreciate the sensation before Garrick’s mouth found his. His lips were hot and urgent, and Rain loved him like this, all demanding and cocky, sure in his ability to drive Rain out of his mind.
Kissing him was like a hit of top-quality espresso—warm and smooth with an undeniable kick that revved him up like nothing else. Tasting like mint and rising need, Garrick used his tongue to fuck his way into Rain’s mouth, setting a driving pace that had Rain moving insistently against him. Every thrust of his hips had their cocks rubbing together, delicious friction.
“Lean up.”
“Am I hurting you?” Rain struggled to sit up quickly.
“Only in the best way possible. Wanted to do this.” Garrick wrapped his big fist around both their cocks at once.
“Fuck yeah. Lube?”
Not having to stretch that far, Garrick grabbed it from the nightstand. “Your wish is my command.”
“Can my wish also be for more kisses?” Curling forward, he tried to give Garrick space to move his hand, but still coming in close to claim another kiss.
“Of course.” Like magic, Garrick raised the head of the bed, which made the kissing a lot easier. Their tongues tangled as Garrick slid his slick grip up and down their shafts.
“God. So good.” Rather than add his hand to Garrick’s efforts, Rain used the opportunity to stroke Garrick’s shoulders and arms, loving how that made him groan more. It was a simple pleasure, making out and rubbing off like this, but the emotions churning inside him were anything but ordinary. Big. Expansive. Like his heart could scarcely hold all of what he was feeling for this man.
Somehow, the day before had drawn them closer together, like they’d forged their way through battle together, stronger for confronting Garrick’s dragon-sized fears and loss. And it didn’t hurt that Garrick kissed him as if he were the center of the universe, all his attention zeroed in on Rain. His free hand roamed everywhere—Rain’s hair, his chest, arms, waist—leaving little sparks of electricity in its wake.
“That’s it.” Garrick’s head tipped back as he groaned. “Fuck, you feel so good.”
“You’re the one with magic hands.” Laughing, Rain claimed another of those toe-curling, planet-moving kisses until it seemed the very gravity in the room shifted, something bigger than themselves holding them together.
“Damn.” With glassy eyes and slack mouth, Garrick looked as awestruck as Rain felt. “Kiss me like that again.”
“This?” Pushing Garrick back against the bed, he held on tight to his upper arms and shoulders as he kissed Garrick with everything he had, every big feeling, every scary thought, every intense sensation all funneled back into the kiss. Garrick’s hand sped up on their cocks, but still Rain kept kissing him until finally Garrick broke away, breathing hard.
“Fuck. Love that pressure. Feels like you’re going to leave marks.”
“Sorry—”
“No, you’re not.” Garrick laughed wickedly. “And I love it. Want more. Mark me all you want.”
Still grinning mischievously, Garrick did something new with his hand—tighter grip, twistier stroke, something—that had Rain not sure how much longer he could hold out himself. It was so good—the kissing, the touching, Garrick’s voice, the press of their hard cocks together—all of it making his balls tighten and his abs tremble.
“Not...fair. Damn it. Too close.”
“It’s okay, baby. Want you to come.” Garrick accelerated his efforts right as he stole another kiss, the insistent thrust of his tongue enough to get Rain perilously close to the edge.
