When they returnedto the cabin, the rooms were dark except for the shimmer of small, white Christmas lights, which David always kept draped around various shelves and tabletops. Joshua wandered to the couch and sat, watching as Colin locked the cabin door. “They must have gone to bed,” he murmured.
Colin nodded and strode past the couch into the kitchen. “Gonna check the back door.”
Joshua scrunched lower on the couch, nestling into the overstuffed cushions, then smiled when Colin’s weight settled next to him. “We all safe and sound?”
“Taunt if you must,” Colin teased. “But when I was a cop, I saw what could happen when people forgot to lock their doors.”
“I was not taunting. I’d never do that. I smiled because what you did made me happy.”
“Made you happy that I locked the doors?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Well, that’s just precious,” Colin murmured. He turned to his side and snuggled against Joshua, his head resting on his husband’s shoulder.
“I excel at precious,” Joshua told him, rubbing his cheek against Colin’s hair.
“You do.” Colin lifted his head and nuzzled against Joshua’s cheek. “You wanna go upstairs and be ‘precious’ withme?”
“Always.”
Colin uncoiled from the couch, drawing Joshua to his feet as he stood. “Then along, my pretty boy. I have exciting notions bouncing around in my brain.” He led Joshua up the stairs to the second floor and into their bedroom.
“Exciting notions?” Joshua asked, stripping off his T-shirt.
“Very exciting.”
“Bouncing around in your brain?”
Colin arched his brows and nodded, then yanked his sweatshirt over his head and tossed it at his husband, who batted it to one side. “Nice save,” Colin told him, then stretched out on the bed and beckoned. “C’mere, you.”
Joshua stripped off his jeans and briefs, then fell onto the bed beside Colin. He slid his fingers under the waistband of Colin’s jeans and tugged. “I can’t be precious until you get rid of these.”
“Well then, by all means…” Colin lifted his hips, allowing Joshua to strip off his jeans and briefs in one smooth motion and fling them to the floor. He smiled at Colin, then stretched out on top of him, pressing their naked bodies together, touching down their entire length.
“How precious am Inow?” Joshua teased, then touched his mouth to Colin’s, letting his tongue caress each lip, nibbling and teasing, savoring the taste of his mouth and the feeling of Colin’s soft, full lips pressed against his own. “Mm,” Joshua moaned, undulating against his husband’s body.
“So good,” Colin whispered. “God, Josh, so damned good.”
Joshua slid down Colin’s body, licking his chest, kissing his stomach, sliding his wet tongue down the crease where Colin’s leg met his body, and finally caressing and licking the hardness of his arousal. He could hear Colin’s breathing grow ragged and feel his undulations as his body responded to Joshua’s touch.
Determined to take his time, he moved slowly, gripping Colin’s hardness in a tight fist. His tongue brushed and teased the tip of Colin’s erection, then slid up and down the throbbing length in an unhurried, languorous stroke, loving the sound of Colin’s groans and whimpers, loving the feeling of Colin’s magnificent body writhing in agonized pleasure. Finally, he added a quick flick of his wrist to the wet caresses of his tongue and lips and felt Colin’s body tense.
“God, Josh!” Colin gasped. “Coming!” His fingers fisted in Joshua’s hair as he groaned, shaking in bliss-filled ecstasy while Joshua swallowed every drop, still caressing Colin’s body, still gripping his hardness in a tight fist.
“Jesus,” Colin gasped, still shaking with jolts of pleasure. He gripped Joshua’s arms and drew him up until he again rested on Colin’s body. “God, baby, that was…” He blew out a quick breath. “Fantastic!”
Joshua nuzzled against his neck, sighing in contentment. “It was,” he whispered. “I loved it.”
“You get a turn now,” Colin murmured, his hand moving up and down Joshua’s back and sides.
“Nope,” Joshua told him. “Not tonight. Tonight’s just you.” He lifted his head and grinned down at Colin. “This is me being precious.”
Colin laughed and kissed him, then spun them both until they were lying on their sides, wrapped tight in each other’s arms. “I love you,” Colin whispered into his ear.
Joshua snuggled into his arms, his face pressed against Colin’s naked shoulder. He drew in a deep breath, taking in the scent of Colin’s skin. “This is as good as sex.”
“Weeeell...” Colin drawled out, his tone skeptical.
