“I can’t dance,” I warned him when we met on the floor.

“Only because you haven’t had the proper instruction.” Xavier turned so that his back was to my chest. I automatically wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him close so that we were perfectly aligned, his ass pressed snuggly against my package. “Relax and follow my lead.”

Xavier began to move his body fluidly with the beat, becoming one with the music. I did just what Xavier said and allowed myself to relax, letting him guide me. There were some awkward moments at first where it looked like my hips where chasing his ass. Once I got the hang of the movement, Xavier spun out of my arms and faced me so we could dance while looking at each other. He was so gorgeous that I lost my rhythm at first, but quickly caught on.

On and on we danced, one song right after the next until we stopped to get a cold drink. We headed to the bar where Xavier ordered a Sprite. I debated on what to order, because I wasn’t sure how Xavier felt about kissing a man with alcohol on his breath and tongue. I planned on doing a hell of a lot of kissing and I didn’t want it to be a problem or unwanted temptation he didn’t need.

“You can order a drink if you want.” Xavier clearly misread the hesitation in my eyes. “It honestly won’t bother me, Ben.”

“I’ll have what he’s having,” I told the bartender. Xavier looked skeptical so I leaned in close to his ear so that only he would hear my words. “I have a feeling that you’ll be a much better buzz than I can get from alcohol.” I could tell by his expression that he thought I was being corny, but I knew the words to be the absolute truth. I downed my drink and set the empty cup on the bar. Xavier sipped his at a slower pace until I took it from him and set it on the bar when a slow song came on. “I’ve been looking forward to this ever since you texted me.”

We hit the floor just as Ed Sheeran began to sing the first words to “Thinking Out Loud.” Slow dancing with Xavier was like making love with our clothes on. I couldn’t get close enough to him to suit me. My body literally twitched and tingled with the desire to feel his naked body against mine once more. My skin burned with awareness where his hands touched my body. I lost track of time and everything around me. My one and only focus was on the man in my arms and how he made me feel.

“You chose the perfect song for Chase and Gray’s first dance and performed it beautifully.” Xavier shivered when my lips touched his ear, telling me that he was feeling the same insane chemistry between us. “Your speech was beautiful also.” I didn’t tell him that I wanted to be the one to bring that kind of happiness to his life. It scared me when the thought crossed my mind during his speech and neither one of us were ready for that kind of declaration.

“Thank you, Ben.” His eyes told me he was ready to go, so when the song was over we tried to leave as discreetly as possible. We failed miserably.

No sex in my bed,was the text I received from Chase when I climbed into my car.

Eww, as if,was my reply to him.

Practice safe sex,was the first text I received from Gray.Oh, and shut the bedroom door unless you don’t mind a voyeuristic cat,was the second.

Good to know,I replied to Gray.

MY THOUGHTS WEREall over the place as I followed Xavier to the Wright’s home.Did he want me to stay the night with him or leave after we were finished? Did this change the dynamic between us or was I still willing to just follow his lead?I felt like a fish out of water and it wasn’t a comfortable feeling, but any discomfort was worth the sacrifice when Xavier was the prize.

I pulled up beside him in the driveway and cut the engine to my car. I got out when he did and followed him up the landscaped pathway to the front door. I refrained from touching him like I craved to do as he unlocked the front door. Xavier tossed his keys on the table by the front door then turned to look at me.

“I’ve thought of nothing else but how you’d feel inside me since the night of the softball game. I don’t know what’s going on here, Ben, and I am making you zero promises, except that I want to be with you. I want to taste you, feel you, and learn every inch of you. That’s the only promise I can make you right this minute. Are you okay with that?” Xavier pressed his body to mine, which made it nearly impossible to think.

I forced my brain to absorb his words, mull them around, and really let them sink in. My body wanted him beyond anything I had ever felt before, but there was a part of me that screamed at me to walk away from him. Could I casually walk away from this man after being inside him or would it completely wreck me? I guessed that I would be finding out what my limits were, because saying no to Xavier wasn’t something I was willing to do.

“No promises.” I recited his words back to him and then lowered my head to capture his lips in a slow, seductive kiss. This was my night to have him and I wasn’t about to rush it.

I walked him backwards towards the staircase while I made love to his mouth; there was no part of his mouth that went untouched by my tongue. Xavier began to walk backwards up the stairs, seeming to be as unwilling to break our kiss as I was. We were almost to the top of the stairs when something crashed hard into the back of Xavier’s legs. Xavier was mid-step so the momentum took us backwards with his magnificent ass landing on the step and my bodyweight pressing down on him.

I leaned back to make sure he wasn’t hurt, but he pulled my head back down to resume our kiss. Xavier tangled his hands in my hair and wrapped his legs around my waist, bringing our erections in contact with each other. I could feel his intense heat through our layers of clothes and couldn’t wait to feel the heat of his skin again without any barriers.

I began to gently thrust my hips into the V-shape space between his legs. I urged my body to go slow, to savor the moment and not crush him beneath my considerable weight. I braced myself on my elbows above him to try and keep the majority of my weight off of him. Xavier’s hands slid from my hair to my shoulders where he tried pulling me down on top of him. I was reluctant to pull away from him, but I wasn’t willing to have sex with him on the steps.

“Bed.” My voice sounded as desperate as I felt. I pushed up off of him and held my hand out to help him up. “Lead the way,” I told him when he was standing upright in front of me.

Xavier hit the light switch on the wall in the guestroom and then dimmed the lights. I wanted to tear his clothes off, but instead chose to unwrap him slowly so I could relish the moment. I kissed the skin I uncovered and inhaled the smell of him. Xavier followed my lead for once and stripped me out of my clothes just as slowly. The gentle kisses he placed on my skin had me clenching my fists to prevent myself from going all caveman on him and throwing him to the bed. I hoped that I’d have the opportunity to go caveman on him, but that night wasn’t the right time.

Once we were completely nude, I laid him down on the bed and proceeded to introduce myself to his gorgeous body. I worshiped his soft skin with my mouth and tongue, lingering on his flat, dark nipples as I moved down his chest. He had removed the nipple piercings and I missed them. I let my tongue trace the line that bisected his abdominal muscles and then his treble clef tattoo. Xavier jumped a little when I swirled my tongue inside his navel making me chuckle. I nipped and sucked my way down to the trim patch of hair at the base of his erection. I remembered perfectly how it felt to have these hairs tickle my nose while his dick pulsed and released in my throat.

I gave his pubic hair a little tug while I licked his erection from root to tip, making sure to linger on the piercing before I sucked the crown of his dick inside my mouth. I was thankful he hadn’t taken away all my fun by removing all of his piercings. Xavier writhed on the bed beneath me, chanting my name in reverence. He had a white-knuckled grip on the soft duvet cover beneath his body and his head tossed from side to side on the pillow.

“Ben!” Xavier shouted my name when I took his full length deep inside my mouth. “Won’t last.” I pulled off slowly then lowered my mouth to lick and lap at his tight scrotum before sucking his testicles in my mouth one at a time. He leaned over and I heard him open the bedside table drawer. “Here.” Xavier’s words were followed by a thump on the bed beside me.

I reached for the lube he tossed at me, opened the bottle, and drizzled some on my fingers. I sat back on my heels and spread his long, lean legs wider so I could see the puckered entrance to my own personal nirvana. Xavier squirmed when I teased his nerve-laden entrance with a lubed finger in lazy circles, around and around.

Low growls emanated from his throat as he raised his greedy hips, trying to impale himself on my finger. Those growls of frustration turned into howls of pleasure when I slid one finger inside him all the way to my second knuckle on the first pass. Xavier’s greedy hole sucked so tightly around my digit that I feared I’d lose control and come as soon as I slid my dick inside him.

“You’re going to feel so good wrapped around my dick.” I slid my finger in and out of him, torturously slow. I soaked in every sound he made while my eyes greedily drank him in. I then slipped two fingers inside him, circling and stretching him while I teased his prostate with every inward thrust.

“Please, Ben. Just ... I need more.”
