For all that it was sparsely decorated and clean, Sean had a momentary flare of panic at letting Alexei inside. He’d never brought someone home like this, and it took a couple of seconds for Sean to shake off the uncertainty in favor of Alexei’s warmattention.

“You play?” Alexei asked curiously as he started to undo the buttons on Sean’s shirt. Alexei nodded in the direction of theguitar.

“Occasionally,” Sean confessed, undoing the buckle of Alexei’s belt. “I’m nowhere near as good as I was when I was ateenager.”

“Play for me?” When Sean shook his head, Alexei leaned down and kissed him, soft and comforting, even as he pulled Sean’s shirt down his arms and tossed it aside. “Maybe one day,kotyonok?”

Sean played for himself, and himself alone; covers of old songs and the first few he’d written with his brothers. Sean hadn’t played in front of an audience since his brief time as the guitarist for Atomic Grace. The thought of playing for anyone, even for Alexei, made him shake his head indenial.

Alexei, never one to let an argument lie, palmed Sean’s cock through his jeans, squeezing gently as he licked at the seam of Sean’s mouth. “Forme,da?”

Sean whined, pushing into Alexei’s hand and those strong, talented fingers that played him better than he could play the guitar. “Fine.Maybe. Just get out of yourclothes.”

Alexei smirked against his mouth before he grabbed Sean by the hips and guided him backward to the bed, pushing him down on the comfortable mattress. “Bossy.”

“I thought we came here to fuck?” Sean asked, pointedly raking his eyes up and down Alexei’s body. “Unless you want to eat lunchinstead?”

Alexei yanked off his T-shirt in one smooth motion, making Sean’s mouth go dry. He tossed it aside carelessly, stepping in between Sean’s spread legs. “Rathereatyou.”

He had to close his eyes at that confession, breathing a little fast. His cock throbbed in his jeans and he pressed the heel of his palm against it as he remembered the way Alexei’s mouth had felt when sucking him off back in LasVegas. “Okay?”

Alexei laughed, and Sean opened his eyes again to watch him strip out of his uniform. It took Sean a few seconds to get with the program and remember to kick off his shoes and wriggle out of his own jeans. Alexei helped after a moment, yanking them off his legs before doing the same with hisunderwear.

His cock sprang free, hard from the sheer want coursing through his body. Sean arched up into Alexei’s touch, groaning when Alexei rubbed his thumb over the sensitive head of his cock, spreading the slickness seeping from the slit. Alexei lifted his hand to his mouth, licking at his thumb and the barest sheen of pre-cumthere.

“Taste good,”Alexeisaid.

Sean could only stare athim. “Oh.”

Alexei put a knee on the bed and Sean belatedly scrambled backward until he was completely on the bed. Alexei followed, crawling on top of him, his heavy weight settling on his thighs. Sean propped himself up on an elbow, slinging his other arm around Alexei’s neck to pull him down into a messy kiss. He could taste himself, just a little, in Alexei’s mouth, and it made himsquirm.

“Want to blow you,” Sean muttered againsthislips.

The idea of getting his mouth on Alexei’s cock was tantalizing, even if he felt a little nervous about it. He could count the number of times he’d given a blowjob on two hands, but that didn’t necessarily mean he was adeptatit.

“Yeah?” Alexei asked, stroking his own cock. It was thick and long, almost fully hard, and Seanreallywanted totastehim.

He licked his lips, dragging his gaze back up to Alexei’sface. “Yeah.”

“Good. I wantthat,too.”

Alexei crawled off him and got comfortable on the bed, propping himself up a little with a pillow. Sean settled himself between Alexei’s splayed legs, rubbing his own cock against the bed in sheer anticipation. Alexei reached for him, slipping a finger into Sean’s mouth, gray eyes heavy-liddedwithwant.

“Go slow,” Alexei told him, mimicking the order with a gentle stroke of his finger over Sean’s tongue. “Not want tochoke.”

Sean swallowed against the finger in his mouth before lettinggo. “Okay.”

Alexei seemed to understand that Sean hadn’t sucked another man’s cock all that often. He was thirty-one years old and his time in bed with other people had never been this intimate, for all that he’d faked intimacy during those moments. Mostly, they’d fucked fast and hard to get off, with Sean more often than not the one being bent over whatever piece of furniture was closest. Getting to take his time was new, and a little nerve-racking inaway.

But it was something Sean wanted to do and share with Alexei. The first tentative lick at his cock made Alexei inhale sharply, tensing a little beneath Sean’s hands. Sean glanced up through his lashes at the sound. Alexei was watching him with such intensity that it almost made him want to stop out ofembarrassment.

“Don’t watch,” Seanmuttered.

Alexei gave him an incredulous look. “Think I not watch you with my cock in your mouth, you crazy. Wanttosee.”

Sean thought of the mirror in the ceiling of their hotel room and how Alexei had constantly coaxed him into watching the way Alexei had fucked him until he came. Sean ducked his head, brushing his lips against the warm, velvety skin of Alexei’s cock. His face felt hot, but that didn’t stop him from dragging his tongue up the hard length to suckle atthehead.

Alexei was one who shaved his groin area, but didn’t resort to full hair removal. His cock was thick from root to tip and still fattening up. No wonder why he’d warned Sean to go slow. He gave it another lick, tongue fluttering against the side of that hot length as he ran his lips up to the tip. Sean fit his mouth around the head, sucking greedily. Alexei flexed his hips, pushing his cock into Sean’s mouth with a gentlethrust.
