“Is all this because you don’t want to feel bad if I’m killed because I saved your kids? News flash, Gideon—you can’t stop the inevitable. Even if I survive this with Lorcan, what happens after? Are you going to wrap me in Bubble Wrap so nothing hurts me?”
“Yes. You saved my children and nephew, and I’m more grateful than you know. But Lorcan is targeting you because of me, so I feel responsible.” He inched closer, his chest pressed tomine. “And if I want to wrap you in Bubble Wrap or anything else, I’ll do just that.”
I don’t know what possessed me to do it, but in that moment all I wanted to do was taste his lips. When I lunged forward, he met me with equal intensity. He tore my towel off and threw it somewhere. I didn’t have time to wonder where because his big hands cupped my ass and lifted me up.
My legs wrapped around his waist, he started walking—I didn’t know where…I didn’t care, I just didn’t ever want him to stop kissing me.
Then, suddenly, I was falling backward onto the bed, and Gideon came with me.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Gideon
Half of me was yelling,“What the fuck are you doing?” The other half was screaming, “Do more!”
Penn’s body was warm, hard…and fuck, he smelled amazing. He’d used whatever we had in the bathroom, but I swore his natural scent had taken over, creating a provocative aroma.
His cock hardened and rubbed against mine, his flesh to my cotton. I slid my hand down, ready to stop if he said no, but he didn’t and when my hand wrapped around his thick hot cock, we moaned in tandem.
His green eyes met mine, and I was mesmerized. I wanted to devour him, feel him coming undone under my attention.
Precome dripped from his shaft, helping me glide across his velvet skin. His hands were frantically trying to unbutton my pants, and I wasn’t going to stop him. I lifted up, he released me, and then our cocks were squeezed together in his fist.
“Fuck, yes,” I begged. “Don’t stop.” My hand engulfed his, and we worked our dicks together. His eyes never left mine, the green a sliver circling blown pupils.
“Gideon.” He whispered my name like a motherfucking prayer, and I smashed my lips to his, my tongue tangling with his, our teeth nipping, our breaths mingling.
“Come, Penn, come for me.”
His back arched, and his mouth opened in a silent scream as his orgasm ignited. My teeth latched on to his neck as I followed, our cocks drenched in come.
“Holy shit.” Penn chuckled.
I licked the bite mark and raised my head to see his face, unsure what I’d find. But he grinned, brought his come-coated hand to his lips, and licked.
“Holy shit is right.” I grabbed his hand and sucked each finger, relishing in our mixed flavors.
“How long have you wanted to do this?” Penn grinned, cockiness glittering in his eyes.
“About five seconds after meeting you.”
He laughed, his smile a sight to behold and contagious. But we were covered in come and while he was naked and in his room, I’d have to walk down the hallway to my own.
I got up, went over to where I’d tossed his towel, and cleaned myself off the best I could, then did the same for him.
“You’re a mess.” His gaze traveled the length of my body.
“And I have to go do the walk of shame to my room.”
He snorted. “You can shower here—there’s a robe in the bathroom.”
It was tempting, but I knew if I did that, I’d never leave, and I had to deal with the shitstorm that had happened tonight. I had to get ahead of Lorcan.
“Rain check.” It wasn’t a question; it was a promise.
He dipped his chin and sat up. “Night, Gideon. Thanks for the hospitality.”
I chuckled as I opened his door, careful that no one was near to see Penn naked. “Absolutely my pleasure, Penn.”
