“Should we jump in the shower to warm up?” Hale inquired.
“No. Get in the bed, under the covers,” Harrison ordered. He was tired of being wet. Their combined body heat under the blankets would be more than enough to warm them up. Besides, Harrison didn’t want to try to balance being upright while exploring all of Hale’s body. This would go much easier if they were both horizontal in a nice, soft bed.
He couldn’t tear his eyes off Hale as the man crawled naked across the bed. His hands fumbled with his own belt as he stared at the perfect curve of Hale’s ass as it slipped to hard thigh muscles and long legs dusted with blond hairs. His skin was pale, but he imagined the man usually carried a golden tan during the summer months from his outdoor adventures.
When Hale slipped beneath the white duvet and sheets, Harrison finally recalled what the hell he was doing and stripped off his own clothes, leaving them in a wet pile next to Hale’s. As he put one knee onto the mattress, Hale held up a hand, stopping him.
“Grab my bag!” he instructed on a gasp as if he’d remembered it at the last second.
Harrison didn’t question it. He collected the bag from where they’d dropped it near the door and brought it over to the bed for Hale. The young man quickly dug through it and grinned broadly when he held up a condom and a small bottle of lube. “Supplies.”
Yes, supplies were a very good thing. At least one of them had the sense to think of it.
Slipping under the covers, Harrison rolled on top of Hale, pressing him into the mattress. A hiss slipped from his parted lips as their skin came into contact for the first time. Hale was a strange mix of hot and cold. His feet and hands were ice blocks while the rest of his body was deliciously warm.
His name tumbled from Hale’s mouth and Harrison chased after it, kissing him deeply. Protecting him wasn’t enough anymore. Now that he had him stretched out and flush against his own body, he wanted to claim him, possess him. To hell with this mythical soul mate that might never appear, Hale was his and he would be damned if he was giving him up without a fight.
Of course, thoughts of possession and protection were turned to dust when Hale shifted against him, lifting his hips so that their dicks brushed together. Harrison dropped his forehead to Hale’s and moaned. The hands he had braced on either side of Hale’s shoulders twisted in the sheets while his arms threatened to give out.
“Pretty nice, huh?” Hale’s expression was an interesting mix of smug and erotic. Eyes blown and mouth hanging open as he thrust upward again. “We can just do this if you want. I can get us both there with nothing more than this.”
Harrison froze, gaze locked on Hale’s face, trying to read the hidden messages there or at the very least the thoughts rattling around in that amazing brain of his. “Is that what you want? You don’t want to have sex?”
Hale reached up and cupped his cheek with one hand. “Angel, I would love to feel you inside of me, but this is your first time with a man. I want to move at a pace that’s comfortable for you.”
He never stood a chance. Not when Hale stared at him with such a warm blend of hunger, compassion, and trust. There was no guile or subterfuge when it came to this man. Everything he felt was shining in his sky-blue eyes for him to see.
“I want inside you. I want to fuck you until you fall apart around my dick.”
With a gleeful expression, Hale twisted in Harrison’s arms and snatched up the small bottle of lube and the condom he’d set aside minutes ago. He thrust the condom at Harrison. “Good. You put this on and I’ll work on prepping myself.”
Harrison sat up on his knees, the blankets balanced on his shoulders as he held the condom. “Shouldn’t I do that for you?”
Hale’s eyes fell shut and a shudder ran through his body. “I would love to feel your fingers anywhere and everywhere on my body, but I’m not entirely sure I won’t come too quickly if you do.” His eyes flicked open again and they were almost an electric blue with desire. “But you can watch so you know what to do for the next time.”
That was a wonderful thought. Next time. That they had plenty of time left together to do this over and over.
Scooting backward on the bed, Harrison settled behind Hale as he moved to his knees as well. He ripped open the wrapper and took his dick in hand, preparing to roll the condom on, but his fingers froze as he watched Hale’s lube-slicked fingers reach back and play with his hole. With just the slightest moan, one fingertip pushed inside. He worked it in and out, taking more of the digit with each stroke. It was so erotic. When Hale pressed a second finger inside with the first, a strangled sound filled the room that he didn’t recognize as coming from his own throat.
