Ulric sounded amused."We'll see."
Rourke left the room and went back into his.Ezra was fully dressed and was sitting by the table eating a sandwich.
"Why are you dressed?We're heading to bed once you've eaten."
Ezra stared at him.Pajamas.He'd ask Geri to pick up some when he was out and about.Or maybe he should go by himself.He could find the fucking shelter.
Ezra didn't move, holding the sandwich halfway to his mouth.Rourke walked closer, but he still didn't move.When he placed a hand on his nape, he jumped.Rourke leaned forward and bit into the sandwich before walking away while chewing.The bread was a little stale but not too bad."We need to buy bread."
Ezra turned his head to watch him, his eyes big as saucers.
"Eat."Rourke grinned at him and headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
When he exited, Ezra was standing by the table."Want the bathroom?"Rourke gestured at the door he'd left open, assuming Ezra would want to brush his teeth too.Then he went to put away the sandwiches he hadn't eaten.He didn't have any zip bags or plastic wrap in the room, so he simply put the plate in the refrigerator.
He turned off the lights and undressed down to his underwear.Crawling into bed, he waited for Ezra to join him.
When he exited the bathroom, he crept forward in the dark.Rourke winced and clicked on the bedside lamp."Sorry, I didn't think about you not seeing well in the dark."
Ezra nodded.
"Come on, babe.Get naked and come cuddle with me."Rourke held his arms out.
"Eh...No."
Rourke chuckled."Okay, you can keep some clothes on.Socks.I'm okay with socks."
Ezra snorted, which made Rourke grin.Then he launched himself off the bed and grabbed him before he had time to react.He wrapped his arms around him and more or less threw him on the bed.
Ezra flailed for a second, then he stared into Rourke's eyes."What are you doing?"
Rourke shrugged."Speeding things up.It's already in the middle of the night.At this pace, we won't get any sleep before dawn."
He ran a hand under Ezra's shirt, fingertips gently dancing over his skin.Ezra didn't move, didn't breathe.Rourke smiled at him and slowly peeled the shirt off him.
The barbels in his nipples glinted in the yellow light from the bedside table, and Rourke ran his thumb over one of them.He'd never understood piercings.
Ezra sucked in a breath, and Rourke's gaze jumped to his.He watched him closely as he repeated the motion.Ezra swallowed and his lips parted ever so slightly.Hmm...Rourke played a little with the barbell and watched in fascination as Ezra's eyes darkened further.
Dipping his head, he slid his tongue over one of them, then sucking a little.
"Ngh."Ezra jerked underneath him.
"Oh, this is fun."Rourke put some weight on Ezra and went back to exploring, noting every twitch of the hard length pressing into his abdomen.He'd underestimated piercings.
After a few minutes, Ezra was writhing underneath him."Rourke."It was no more than a whisper.
"Yes?"
"What...eh..."
Rourke watched him, but Ezra refused to look at him, a flush on his cheeks.Embarrassment or arousal?
"You smell so fucking good like this."He inhaled along his sternum."You should be turned on all the time."
He couldn't say what the sound leaving him meant.
He skidded downward, his fingers finding the button of Ezra's jeans.Before he could open them, Ezra's hands flew to his.Wide eyes stared at him with something close to fear.Rourke frowned."Hey."He crawled up Ezra's body and cupped his cheek."Relax.I won't hurt you."He brushed his lips over Ezra's.The ring was weird, but he did his best to ignore it.When he begged for entrance with his tongue, Ezra jerked.Rourke groaned as he deepened the kiss only to jerk himself when something brushed against his tongue.He pulled away and stared down at Ezra."Is there a piercing in your tongue?"
