“Tell me my surprise.”
Shadow laughed. “No.”
Ridge refused to stop skipping. “Please?”
“No.”
“Pretty please?”
Shadow grabbed his arm, pulling him to a stop before heading for the door. “Let’s go. I can’t have you using up all your energy before we even get there.”
Ridge smiled so big, his face hurt. He might have been curious, but really. Ridge loved getting Shadow all exasperated before making him happy again. Sometimes he could be a giant child.
The moment they were on the road, with the darkness engulfing them, all Ridge could do was stare. He loved the way Shadow looked when lights from passing cars highlighted his features. Damn. He was perfect. The image he created kept Ridge distracted. That, and the way Shadow kept kissing his hand. Before he knew it, they were parked by Club Affinity’s door. He fought a wave of disappointment. While Ridge didn’t know what he expected hissurprise would be, it sure as hell wasn’t this place. Still, he was with Shadow.
Shadow motioned for Ridge to join him. “Come on. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
Damn. Obviously, Ridge hadn’t done a good job at hiding his reaction. Determined to take whatever with grace, he climbed from the car. Shadow waited for him with his hand extended. Ridge’s mood immediately lifted. He was happy to be anywhere with his other half.
Bronx opened the door the moment he spotted them. He smiled like he was honestly happy to see them. “Mr. Agafonov. Mr. Lion.”
The greeting gave Ridge pause. Not only was that not his name, but the guy never hesitated to let him inside. He hadto know. “Hey, Bronx. Quick question. Why do you always let me in no questions asked? Not that I’m complaining,” he rushed to add.
A line appeared between Bronx’s eyebrows. He looked confused as hell. “You’re Zeus’ twin, correct? He’d have my ass if he knew I denied you entry.” His expression cleared. “Not that I’d mind him having my ass.”
Ridge laughed. “Yeah, I’m his twin. That makes sense.”
Bronx nodded. “You two have fun.”
He flashed the guard a smile and headed inside.
Shadow held his silence until they were halfway down the stairs. “Since when are youZeus’ twin?”
A loud laugh burst from Ridge. “I didn’t want him to refuse me entry if I need to come get you again. Plus, I really hope he’s not my twin. I probably should’ve said something sooner, but right before we got back together, I showed up here looking for you. Zeus kissed me.”
A soft chuckle fell from Shadow’s sexy lips. “I’m not surprised. Zeus kisses everyone. It’s a hallmark of his personality.”
Relief washed over him. Ridge had been scared that kiss would eventually get back to Shadow before he worked up the nerve to confess. He hadn’t expected that reaction, but he also had a bad feeling Shadow had done more than kiss Zeus. Thankfully, he didn’t have too much time to go down that rabbit hole. Shadow led him inside a private room.There was a small table with packets of lube and condoms, along with baby wipes. In the middle of the room, there was a swing.
Shadow closed them inside. “I booked the room for a few hours.”
Ridge stared at the swing in fascination. He wanted to say he wasn’t much into things like that, but the way his dick stirred said otherwise. Ridge could already picture Shadow nude and poised perfectly for the taking. Fuck. Maybe he needed to come here more often after all.
Shadow peeled off his shirt. Ridge’s gaze followed as Shadow’s hand moved to his jeans. He watched as Shadow slowly unzipped his pants, one tooth at a time. Ridge’s mouth watered. He loved a good stripshow.
Shadow chuckled. “Do you plan to only watch?”
At Shadow’s taunt, Ridge scrambled out of his clothes. He couldn’t waste time on any shows. Ridge didn’t know how to properly strap Shadow into this swing, but he would damn sure figure it out.
Once nude, Shadow being the strong acrobat he was, easily lifted himself into the complicated-looking device. It was an impressive move, but everything about Shadow blew him away. Shadow leaned back and slipped his feet into two hanging loops. He used a bar above him to get into position.
Ridge decided to act like this was like any other time they made love. Even when they fucked dirty, it was love to him. He grabbed a couple of packets of lube. Ridge used one to ready Shadow’s hole and the other to coat his dick. Because he couldn’t stop himself, Ridge leaned over and licked Shadow’s crown, swirling away the pre-cum. His dick twitched. Ridge straightened and led his cock to Shadow’s waiting hole. His insecurities got the best of him.
“It seems like you’ve used this thing a time or two.” He wanted to kick himself the moment the words left his lips. Ridge hated himself a little for ruining the moment.
The flush on Shadow’s cheeks and the lust that shone in his eyes screamed he hadn’t ruined a thing. Shadow licked his lips like desire made his mouth dry. “No. I’ve seen it used several times.” He gestured upward, pointing out a block style remote hanging above them. Shadow panted for a second beforecontinuing. “If you’re interested, you can hit that button. It’ll raise the automatic shades between the two panes of glass. Everyone dancing in the club will see us.”
His immediate reaction was hell no. The higher his lust skyrocketed, the more Ridge considered the idea. He used the momentum of the swing to pound Shadow. Every sound Shadow made said how much he loved it. Ridge didn’t let up. He couldn’t. Desire had him in a chokehold.
