“You’re fucking gorgeous,” Graham repeated, this time aloud. He’d get that right one of these times but making out with Thad seemed to have scrambled his brain.
Thad scoffed, and it was weird because Graham had never seen him be anything but confident in himself.
“Uh, youare,” Graham countered.
“I’m a decade and a half older than you,” Thad shot back.
Graham shrugged. “And I’m fine with that.”
He leaned in and kissed Thad, because he didn’t know how to tell him he liked that he’d experienced life. He wished life had been a little easier, because no one deserved the shit Thad had been through, but it had made him who he was, and Graham liked that.
He likedThad.
There was a depth to him most people Graham’s age didn’t have. He was layered andcomplicatedand he’d experienced things Graham had never dreamed of.
Unless … did he think Graham was too inexperienced? He pulled away to ask him and Thad scoffed and rolled his eyes.
“No. You’re perfect the way you are. I just feel like I’m corrupting something a little too young and pure for me. You look so fuckingwholesome.”
Graham smiled, “You’re a little bit into that though, aren’t you?”
Thad groaned and pulled him closer. “Fuck. I kind of am.”
Graham laughed against his mouth. As long as Thad was into the idea, he could work with that. But he drew back when he remembered there was one important thing they needed to talk about.
“Hey, you’re good with keeping the fact we’re, um, dating, quiet, right?”
Thad nodded. “Yeah, I mean the code of conduct doesn’t really apply to us and the team doesn’t have a no-fraternization policy between players and employees or anything, but my brother …” He shuddered. “Yeah, let’s keep this quiet.”
“I was thinking about the fact that this could almost behotif no one else knows.”
Thad raised an eyebrow. “Yeah?”
“Yeah, you know. You were right. I would hate the idea of cheating on someone but …” Graham’s face felt a little warm. “Like, sneaking around like this … I don’t know. Isn’t it kinda thrilling?”
“Ohh.” Thad’s grin turned sly. “You like that, huh?”
“Kinda,” Graham admitted. “I mean, we’re nothurtinganyone.””
“We’re not.”
“So maybe I’m into it being a little forbidden.”
“Mmm. Dirty boy.” Thad kissed his jaw.
The words and the tone and the touch all combined to send a heady shiver down Graham’s spine.I’d be dirty for you, he thought, but he wasn’t quite brave enough to say that aloud.
He did whisper, “And if I didn’t say this earlier, I like that you’re older and more … experienced than me,” as he shifted to wind their legs together. To press closer.
Thad let out another groan and held him tightly. “Stop talking or you’re gonna make me do something I regret.”
Graham wasn’t sure what that meant but Thad rolled him onto his back and kissed him deeply and Graham stopped thinking entirely.
After that, it was all hot, wandering hands, deep kisses, little groans, and panting breaths. Graham was so fucking hard heached. But when he shifted, pressing his cock to Thad’s thigh, Thad pulled away.
“We should, uh, probably cool off,” Thad rasped, licking his lips, still shiny from Graham’s mouth.
Graham bit back a whimper because what did he mean bycool off? They were just fucking heating up now! Had he done something wrong?
