“I met them!”
Before Alexei could ask who, Jay hopped onto his lap for a half straddle, half hug, yelling into Alexei’s ear. “I did! I met them! What a coincidence!”
Alexei couldn’t help his smile as he arranged Jay’s legs to straddle him fully. “Met who, kitten?”
Jay leaned back, grinning wide. “The little vampire Danny helped out. Him and his mate both. They’re in town! Not for long though. I couldn’t tempt them into staying for Thanksgiving.”
“Their loss, sweetheart.”
And possibly Alexei’s gain, if it meant one less distraction for Jay during the week.
Except no, he needed to stop thinking selfish, asshole thoughts. He wasn’t like Wolfgang, some possessive bastard who couldn’t stand to let his mate out of his sight.
“You think so?” Jay asked.
Alexei kissed him on the nose, just to hear him giggle. “I really do.”
Jay rewarded him by claiming his lips with a laugh. Alexei didn’t let him pull away afterward. He slipped Jay his tongue, instead, drinking in Jay’s happy sigh like ambrosia. He smelled like peppermint and copper, which shouldn’t have been the most delicious combination on earth. But it was.
By the time Alexei let Jay free, he was flushed and wiggling.
“They’re really in love,” he said dreamily.
Alexei trailed kisses down Jay’s neck, feeling Jay’s cock stir against his belly. His own cock was rock-hard, brought to life by the simple fact that his mate was here, breathing in his vicinity. “Are they?”
He’d forgotten who they were talking about.
“Mm.” Jay tilted his head back to give Alexei better access. “Blake kind of kisses like you do.”
Alexei froze, his lips still pressed against Jay’s soft skin. He pulled back. “And how do you know that, kitten?”
Jay gave a little wiggle, wordlessly encouraging Alexei to continue what he’d been doing. “I watched them,” he said simply, either unaware or uncaring of the dangerous note that had entered Alexei’s voice.
Ah. Of course. Alexei’s sweet pervert.
Alexei went back to mauling Jay’s slender neck. “And did you like watching them?”
“Mm. Yes. They’re both—both very pretty. Young. And they’re students!”
Alexei nodded absently, lifting Jay with one arm around his waist so he could remove his soft yellow sweatpants. Jay was noticeably lacking underwear. Depending on how muchexactlyhe’d liked watching that kiss, the people at DBC might have gotten quite a show.
When Jay gave him an expectant look, Alexei tore his attention away from Jay’s perfect pink cock and racked his brain for what they’d been talking about. “You like that they’re students?”
Jay beamed at him. “It made me think. We could go to school if we wanted, couldn’t we? Down the line? I’ve never really been a student.”
“Sure, sweetheart. Whatever you want.” Alexei hadn’t gone to college either. There’d been no room for higher education in his father’s violent empire, other than sending Sascha to get him out of the way. Maybe Alexei would be totally lost; maybe he’d love it. He didn’t really care, as long as Jay was with him.
Jay worked to shuck off his T-shirt as Alexei unbuttoned his own jeans, tugging them down just enough to free his aching cock. “We could live in the dorms!” Jay cried through the fabric covering his face.
Alexei leaned over and grabbed the lube from the desk drawer, covering his cock generously with it. “We might prefer an apartment.”
Jay tossed his shirt on the ground with a pout. “But why?”
“Because you’re very loud, kitten.” Alexei gave Jay’s cock a tug, proving his point when Jay let out an unabashed moan. “And I look a little old for college dorms.”
“But— But I’m older than you,” Jay gasped as Alexei lifted him again, fingering lube into his hole with impatient fingers.
“Doesn’t matter. I look older.” Alexei pressed a kiss to Jay’s shoulder, removing his fingers. That was good enough—Jay never minded a bit of stretch, not when he was already hard and horny. “They’ll think I’m your perverted old boyfriend, creeping in the halls.”
