"Val. What's yours?"
"Jory," he squeaked out as Val took a responding nip at his throat. Need pulsed through his body like a jolt of electricity. "Stop!"
"No," Val growled.
"I'm going to cream my pants. You have to stop."
Jory admired the smile on the other's man's face before reluctantly sliding off Val's lap and settling across from the gorgeous creature, onto his own chair.
An adorable pout crossed the big man's face.
"You didn't have to sit so far away."
"Yes, I did, unless you want me to suck you off in space port full of strangers and possibly get arrested on my first day here."
Val's green eyes darkened even more. They were emerald rather than the jade of his father's eyes, more translucent and sparkling, as if a drop of trapped sunlight lived inside.
"Want to get a room?" Val tilted his head to the right.
Jory's eyes followed the motion to the rows of small resting rooms dotting both sides of the space station. Used to accommodate weary travelers, they always included the important items for a successful hookup. Clean sheets, lube, and protection gel. He'd stayed in many of these rooms due to the constant planet hopping he did to cover up his covert fight against slavery and corruption.
"Oh yeah. I would love to get a room with you," Jory purred, sliding a foot along the inside of Val's thigh. His bold new approach worked well if the other man's reaction was any indication.
Val stood up, walked around the table and snatched Jory from his chair. Jory let out a small squeal as Val all but dragged him across the terminal. He didn't get a chance to reconsider as Val headed for the closest room, swiped his identicard, and tossed Jory inside, slamming the smaller man against the wall.
"Sorry, baby." Before he could get his bearings, Val wrapped his large arms around Jory, gazing at him with green eyes full of contrition. "I didn't mean to be so rough."
"Roughness has its place, darlin'." Jory offered a wicked grin. "I like a man with a firm hand as long as it's only in the bedroom."
Besides even a concussion would only last a few seconds.
For a long moment, they stared at each other, both fighting to regain their composure.
Watching Jory, Val stripped off his shirt, exposing drool-inducing cut abs and a strong wide chest.
Yum.
Mesmerized by the flexing muscles, Jory didn't even blink until a large calloused hand tilted his head up to meet Val's heat-filled gaze.
"Are you okay with this? I presumed a lot on a kiss."
"N-no, you didn't presume," Jory rushed to reassure him. "I was just busy watching your beautiful body."
Val lifted Jory off his feet with strong hands and placed him on the bed with the same care he'd give a piece of spun glass from the king's private collection.
"You are the most beautiful man I've ever seen." Val's tone, filled with wonder, made Jory blush. He felt the heat rising on his cheeks beneath the burning gaze of the other man's hot emerald eyes. Although pleased Val found him attractive, he'd rather be handsome than beautiful. Of course, he'd also like about five more inches of height, so he was used to disappointment.
"Glad you approve." Jory found it difficult to follow the conversation while fighting the insane urge to pounce on Val. He twitched with the need to rub his body all over the other man to get as much skin-to-skin contact as humanly possible.
Val's deep voice rumbled even deeper, sending shivers of excitement down Jory's spine and settling in his dick. "You're way too overdressed for this party, gorgeous. As a gentleman, it's only polite for me to take care of that problem for you."
"Never let it be said that you aren't a gentleman." The huskiness of his voice belied his attempted nonchalance.
With a quick, knowing touch, Val soon divested Jory of his boots, socks, pants and shirt. In the blink of an eye, he lay on the bed, wearing only his silk boxers.
"Nice." Val slid one rough finger across the material, snagging on the fine fabric. For once Jory didn't care about the state of his clothes. He wanted them gone, leaving no barrier between him and those fabulous hands.
"Such a beautiful temptation. Now let's see you completely unwrapped."
