Alexei dipped his head, Sean’s features blurring in his sight as he met him halfway with no hesitation. Like at the pool, Sean’s mouth parted easily beneath his, drawing Alexei in. Unlike at the pool, however, it felt almost mechanical, as if Sean was going through the motions. The thought that maybe he was curled uncomfortably through Alexei’s mind. He didn’t know what Sean had done in service to their country, but Alexei had worked around enough CIA officers in the past to know that falling into bed with the enemy was an acceptabletactic.
Except he wasn’t the enemy, and Alexei would be damned if he was treatedlikeone.
Sliding his hands lower, he flexed his fingers against Sean’s firm ass before dragging the shorter man up his thigh. Alexei bent his knee a little and rocked upward, grinding his thigh without apology against Sean’sgroin.
Sean broke their kiss with a sharp gasp, turning his face away. Alexei took the opportunity to lick his way down Sean’s throat, annoyed at the dress shirt collar in the way. He deftly loosened the necktie with one hand, sucking hard at the warm skin that was soon exposed. The shudder he felt run through Sean’s body when he pressed his teeth against the pulse beat in that long throat made Alexei groanappreciatively.
Sean tilted his head back, giving Alexei more room to mark him up, even as he let go of Alexei in favor of bracing his hands against the dresser. He arched against Alexei as he did so, a quiet moan falling from his mouth before it was choked off. Alexei could feel Sean’s cock throb through the thin barrier of their clothes, the heat there impossible for him toignore.
So hedidn’t.
Alexei widened his stance a little, pushing Sean’s legs farther apart at the same time. He worked one hand between them to palm Sean’s cock, thumb dragging hard down the growing shape of it. The strangled sound that Sean cut off made Alexei growlwordlessly.
“Want to hear,kotyonok,” he muttered as he undid Sean’s belt and carefully worked thezipperdown.
In response, Sean hooked one hand over the back of Alexei’s neck and drew him down into a messy, desperate kiss that lacked finesse and the studied movements of their earlier one. It felt more real, or maybe that was Alexei’s own wishful thinking. But the way Sean jerked hard against him when he finally worked one hand into those stupidly tight pants to cup Sean’s cock through his underwear made Alexei think it wasn’t quiteanact.
He rubbed his hand against the growing hardness there, ignoring the ache between his own legs as he kissed Sean dirty and deep. He half wondered if he could get away with moving them to the bed when he heard the unmistakable sound of the door sliding openbehindthem.
Sean froze, holding his breath. Alexei broke their kiss with a guttural curse, lifting his head to take in wide brown eyes with dilated pupils and a warm blush that started at Sean’s cheeks and ran down his throat to disappear beneath his shirt. Alexei very much wanted to see how far down thatblushwent.
“Busy,” he growled, not taking his eyesoffSean.
“I can see that,” Jansen said with an amused chuckle that made Alexei shift his entire body to try to hide Sean from view. “But dinner is almost ready and we’re missing the guests ofhonor.”
He leaned back a little and reluctantly pulled his hand out of Sean’s pants. He didn’t care what Jansen saw of him, but the thought of Jansen getting even a glimpse of Sean like this made Alexei itch foragun.
Alexei looked over his shoulder at where Jansen and Declan stood in the doorway, both men in no hurry to leave. Sean let go of Alexei and he immediately missed the other man’s touch. Alexei heard the telltale sound of a zipper being done up and felt irrationally annoyed at his progress beingundone.
“Five minutes,” Alexeisnapped.
Jansen smirked at him. “We’ll waitoutside.”
Alexei scowled, knowing that what he and Sean had started could no longercontinue.
At least,nothere.

Sean had never gotten so hard soquickly inhislife.
He lifted his head after the door slid shut behind on their audience, wishing he could hide, but he couldn’t hide from Alexei’s gaze. Those gray eyes had darkened to a darker shade Sean had never seen before. The heat in them made Sean swallow nervously, and he looked away, trying to get himself under control. Trapped between the dresser and Alexei’s solid, warm body, Sean had a difficult time focusing on anything but his throbbing cock as he struggled to do uphisbelt.
“Let me,” Alexeimuttered.
Sean inhaled sharply as Alexei’s fingers tangled with his, slipping the expensive leather belt from his grip. Alexei went still, and Sean tried to settle his breathing, staring over Alexei’s shoulder at theoppositewall.
Warm fingers touched his chin and Sean jerked, but he had nowhere to go. His eyes snapped back to Alexei’s face and the frown curling the corners of his mouthdownward.
“Is okay?” Alexei asked in a low voice that Sean would probably hear in his dreams for monthsafterthis.
Sean forced his voice to come out steady. “We’regood.”
He was glad he’d already placed the surveillance bugs under the edge of the dresser. He’d hidden three up each sleeve, pulling them free beneath the cover of Alexei’s suit jacket. The surveillance bugs were programmed with the layout of the house and would start their journey to Adrian’s office once they left the room. They were tiny enough that Sean didn’t think the security system would catch theirmovements.
Alexei’s thumb touched his bottom lip, tugging at it so gently it was impossible for Sean to focus on anything else. “Not whatIask.”
Sean looked up at Alexei, blinking rapidly. The heat in Alexei’s gaze had faded a bit, an intense worry taking its place. Sean tugged his belt free of Alexei’s other hand. He took a moment to tuck his shirt more firmly into place, ignoring the ache between his legs that was fading in the wake of being interrupted. Buckling his belt, Sean yanked his suit jacket back into place with afirmtug.
