The silent acquiescence was all the permission Alexei needed. He licked his way into Sean’s mouth with focused intent, kissing him filthy and deep. Sean gasped, the sound tangled between their lips as Alexei palmed his ass with both hands. Sean arched against him, hands coming up to grab at Alexei’s hair as they kissed and kissed until his lips tingled. He slipped a thigh between Sean’s legs, giving him something to rub off against, holding them both up against the motions of theirbodies.
“Should get undressed,” Sean murmured a little breathlessly as Alexei sealed his mouth over the mark he’d made earlier on his neck, sucking on it again. “Like you were inthepool.”
“Was inswimsuit.”
Sean chuckled breathlessly as Alexei trailed small, wet kisses up his throat. “That showed offeverything. You weren’tsubtle.”
Alexei laughed, his breath blowing across the shell of Sean’s ear. He liked the way it made Sean shiver in his arms. “Could put swimsuit back on? Let youtakeoff.”
“I’m trying to get youundressedhere,Alexei.”
“Lyosha,” Alexei said, stealing another kiss that Sean had no problems giving up as he ground his cock against Alexei’s thigh. “Can call meLyosha.”
Sean pulled back a little, blinking rapidly. His mouth was kiss-swollen, lips spit-shiny as he relaxed in Alexei’sarms. “What?”
“Is my name. Small name. Want you to call meithere.”
“No one but Kyle calls you that,” Sean saidslowly.
“Isfamilyname.”
Everyone in Alexei’s family had a diminutive name used in affection. They’d even made up a version for Kyle’s name. The names weren’t given out lightly to anyone who wasn’t family or close friends, but Alexei wanted Sean to use it here. He wanted Sean to know that tonight would mean something, even if itdidn’tlast.
Alexei was under no illusions that a relationship formed beneath the stress of a mission and the thin veneer of false identities would have a strong foundation. But he and Sean were in a position where they could have a relationship in the open, unlike his brother. Sean was working with Alpha Team for the Pavluhkin mission, but his position as an agent in the intelligence division was markedly different from Alexei’s spot on an active field team. It meant they could be together without reprisal if this turned intosomethingmore.
Alexei hoped it would, because he liked the way Sean felt in his arms. Liked the solidity of his body that was so different from a woman’s soft curves. Alexei could admire both, had loved both over the years, but there was something about getting a man underneath him and getting them off that always gave him a deeper thrill. Alexei enjoyed being with women, but he enjoyed being with men just alittlemore.
And he was tired of not sharing his life withsomeone.
Sean framed Alexei’s face with one hand, thumb resting at the corner of his mouth. “You should get undressed,Lyosha.”
He mangled the name a little, but Alexei still loved the sound of it in his quiet voice. He turned his head to suck Sean’s thumb into his mouth, laving his tongue against it, enjoying the way Sean’s eyes darkened with want. He raised his leg a little higher, pressing hard against Sean’sgroin.
“Not helping,” Sean gritted out as his eyes fluttered shut for a few seconds before openingagain.
Alexei let his thumb go with a soft pop. Sean had a point. The sooner they got rid of their clothes, the better off they would be. He reached out and tugged Sean’s shirt off, taking in the sight of the firm bodyunderneath.
Sean was shorter and thinner than he was, but that didn’t mean he lacked muscle. The hard definition Alexei was used to in soldiers who trained for war was tempered in Sean’s body into a more muted strength. He worked out, and it showed, but his body wasn’t as rock hard as Alexei’s own. He ran his hand over the faint indentations of Sean’s ribs to the trail of dark hair disappearing into his pants. Alexei very much wanted to see wherethatled.
A sharp jerk on his own suit jacket had Alexei looking at Sean, noticing the faint flush on hischeeks. “Off.”
“Is order?” Alexei teased as he shrugged out of it. “Want show? Could request stripper pole if want. Special guests,remember?”
Sean huffed out a laugh even as he attacked the buttons on Alexei’s shirt. “Yeah, but they’d have to deliver it through the suite and Madison would never let us liveitdown.”
“Think they not know what we’redoing?”
“I’m tryingnotto think about that,” Sean muttered as he finally got the lastbuttonfree.
Alexei grabbed Sean’s hands and lifted one to his mouth, kissing his knuckles. Sean’s eyes snapped up to meet his own, fingers curling around Alexei’s. “Just me and youhere,da?”
Sean nodded after a moment, his shoulders loosening. Alexei leaned in and kissed him again, gently guiding him backward until the bed hit the back of his legs. He pushed Sean down onto it before sinking to his knees. He ran his hands down Sean’s thighs and calves, enjoying the way Sean looked at him with hot eyes. Alexei glanced up at the mirror above the bed, curious at the picture they presented, and liked whathesaw.
Sean followed his gaze and winced. “We shouldclosethat.”
“Nyet. Canwatch.”
Sean squirmed a little at that remark and Alexei’s mouth curved in a knowing smirk. Sean could protest all he wanted, but Alexei had a feeling Sean wouldn’t mind watching himself get fucked. Just the idea of that made his own cock throb within the confines of his dresspants.
