Colin’s laugh was a soft exhalation. He slowly knelt before Joshua, sliding his trousers and briefs down and off, then stood up, still smiling as he felt his husband’s hands sliding up his chest as he rose, drawing Colin’s T-shirt over his head.
Colin removed his jeans and briefs and kicked them to a corner, then he grasped Joshua’s arms and walked him backward toward the bed. “You get me so fucking hot,” he panted.
Joshua felt his legs hit the side of the bed and he tipped backward onto the mattress, pulling Colin down on top of him. “Happy to hear it,” he ground out.
“Mmm,” Colin moaned against Joshua’s throat, then he slid his lips to his husband’s chest, kissing and licking the smooth skin, turning it damp under his mouth as he explored, moving lower and lower. He knelt beside the bed, his flushed face between Joshua’s thighs. Finally, he turned his head and bit softly against the inviting junction where Joshua’s leg met his body. Then, he slid his tongue in a long, slow glide up the length of Joshua’s erection, smiling again when he heard Joshua groan in pleasure.
He stood, then braced himself against the bed with both hands, leaning over Joshua. He bent to kiss him, their tongues meeting in a slow, wet joining that left them both panting, then he straightened and gazed down at him.
“What’s on your mind, Irish?” Joshua asked, grinning.
Colin reached down and tapped the side of his hip. “Turn over,” he ordered. As Joshua complied, Colin turned and stretched out his hand to grab the lubricant from the bedside table. When he turned back, he was rewarded with the sight of Joshua’s upturned ass mere inches from his face. “My god, that’s a beautiful sight,” he gasped, filling his hand with the slippery substance.
“Less talk. More action,” Joshua muttered against the pillow, then gasped and moaned as Colin’s slick, wet hardness filled him in one long, slow thrust. “Oh my god, Colin. Goslow, baby,” Joshua panted out, and Colin stopped at once.
“Am I hurting you?”
“No,” Joshua huffed out, pulling in air in breathless gasps. “Just go slow.”
Colin bent over Joshua, moving inside him, slowly at first, then faster, easing himself out, then slamming his hips forward, driving himself into his husband’s body with tremendous force. Over the fierce heat of his feverish desire, he forced himself to listen for his husband’s voice, for any cry suggesting that Joshua was in pain. But the only sound that reached his ears was Joshua moaning ‘Ohhh god,yes!’ His blind, rapturous pleasure was like an aphrodisiac to Colin, expanding his craving until he was consumed with the aching heat of his longing.
He fell on top of Joshua, sobbing, grinding against him, abandoning himself to the pleasure, groaning again and again in bliss that was almost agony as he spilled himself into his husband’s body. He felt Joshua shuddering beneath him and Colin pressed his lips to the side of Joshua’s neck, licking his skin to taste the damp sweat gathered there. “I love you so much,” he whispered, his voice choked.
“Yours,” Joshua whispered, his voice thick with unshed tears. He turned his head to feel Colin’s cheek against his. “God, I am so completely yours.”
Colin fell to his side, taking his weight off his husband, then wrapped him in his arms and cradled him close. “Good damned thing,” Colin grunted, then pressed his lips to Joshua’s, his fingers stroking Joshua’s damp, dark curls. “Hey,” he said, leaning slightly back from their embrace. “Did you… uh…didyou?”
“You’ve forgotten how to say the word ‘come’?” Joshua teased.
Colin scowled and nuzzled against his cheek. “No, I have not! Did you come?”
“I did. But would it matter if I hadn’t? It was still wonderful.”
“Well, hellyes,it would matter!”
Joshua shrugged. “Not to me.”
“Isn’t that the whole point to… uh…havingsex?”
“No. The point is the experience as a whole. The closeness you feel with your partner—the unity you share. The shared give and take. The intimacy.”
“And the coming so hard you see stars,” Colin grinned.
“Well, that’s a bonus,” Joshua told him. “Sometimes feeling your partner’s joy is just as good or better.”
“I was kind of selfish tonight.”
“Why so?”
“Well, usually, I don’t have toaskif you’ve come. Usually, I make damned sure you come!” He sighed, his eyes fixed on the darkness beyond their bed. “Tonight, I was… somewhere else,” he muttered finally.
“The Big Apple, maybe?” Joshua murmured, bumping Colin’s ribcage with his fist.
“You think I was withNatewhile making love toyou?” Colin asked, mouth ajar with astonishment. “C’mon, Josh!”
“No. But I do think you were feeling Nate’s absence. I think it was in your heart and on your mind.”
“Mmm,” Colin growled out, clearly reluctant to respond.
