“Awwww, don’t go trying to seduce me with your diplomatic sweet talk.”
“Oh, isthatwhat I’m doing!”
Colin snickered and nuzzled against Joshua’s shoulder. He lifted his head and stared into Joshua’s chocolate-brown eyes, letting his fingers slide through his husband’s curly hair. “I love the cleft in your chin,”he murmured, then kissed Joshua’s cheek.
“Then I’ll cancel the surgery to have it removed.”
Colin reared back, his face contorted. “Don’teven…”
Joshua laughed and ran his fingers through Colin’s sandy hair. “You haven’t been a jackass,” he murmured, then tightened his fingers and dragged Colin forward.
Before Colin could answer, Joshua licked across his bottom lip in a slow, seductive motion that stopped Colin’s words—and his breath. Before he could recover, Joshua’s tongue eased into Colin’s mouth. It caressed his tongue in a slow, wet glide before turning to Colin’s upper lip, licking and nibbling until his lip was damp and trembling.
“Is this your non-shrinky way of distracting me?” Colin asked between panted breaths.
“I’ll use whatever tool presents itself.”
“I have a tool I’d like to present,” Colin muttered into Joshua’s ear. His arms tightened around Joshua, dragging him forward until he sprawled on Colin’s body, shaking with laughter.
“That is thefirsttime I’ve heard you call your dick a ‘tool’!”
“Like you, I jump on the opportunities that present themselves.” His hands crept under Joshua’s T-shirt and slid up his bare back, his fingers digging into Joshua’s skin, pulling him closer… tighter against himself. “Now then…”
Joshua was still laughing, and Colin’s hands kept moving, pulling the T-shirt over his head, pitching the garment to one side as his arms wrapped around his husband and pulled him against his body with rough hunger. “Payup, bud,” he rumbled against Joshua’s lips.
“Forwhatexactly?” Joshua queried, but Colin could feel the grin on his lips, and again, he dug his fingers into Joshua’s back as they kissed, their mouths meeting in a storm of fierce, demanding hunger. Lost in Joshua’s kiss, Colin moaned, and his hands moved lower, skidding down the back of Joshua’s jeans, wriggling them down and off,
“I’ll think of something,” Colin groaned, then gasped as Joshua sat up, pulling Colin’s T-shirt over his head in one smooth motion.
“Goddammit, Ihatedoing this on the couch,” Joshua muttered, tossing the T-shirt to one side.
“For fucks’ sake,why?” Colin asked, laughing.
Joshua rasped out a noisy sigh and clambered to his feet, holding out his hand to his half-dressed husband. “Why!” he blurted out. “Did you saywhy?”
Colin peered up at him. “It wasn’t you,so itmusthave been me,” he said, then grabbed Joshua’s hand. “Get back down here!”
“No,” Joshua refused. He took a half-step toward the stairs, hauling Colin to his feet. “And since you insist on knowing, here’swhy. No lube. Not enough room. No towels handy. No bathroom. Shall I go on?”
“Need I remind you thatyoustarted this?”
“I did. And I plan tofinishit. But noton the couch!”
Colin snickered, then wrapped both arms around Joshua’s waist and lifted him, carrying him the last few feet to the stairs. “Picky, picky, picky!” he said, setting Joshua on the bottom step.
“I have singular taste when it comes to sex,” Joshua told him, moving up the stairs. “I want it the way I want it.”
“Then get your ass up there, bud,” Colin told him, reaching to pinch his naked bottom. “And I’ll give you every damn thing you’veeverwanted.”
A half-hour later, they lay in each other’s arms, peaceful and content. Colin nuzzled against Joshua’s hair. “I thought we bought that couchbecauseit was big enough to make love on.”
“It’s fine for blow jobs,” Joshua murmured, his head resting on Colin’s shoulder while his fingers moved slowly, sensually over every inch of his chest. “It’s great for foreplay,” he said. “It’s fantastic for the occasional hand job while we’re pretending to watch TV.” He leaned up on one elbow and met Colin’s eyes. “But I wanted tofuck!And forthat, it’s not all that great. It’s just not comfortable.”
“I love a man who knows what he wants,” Colin told him, grabbing a quick kiss.
Joshua smirked and returned his kiss.
“But,” Colin said, caressing Joshua’s cheek, “getting back to the original subject, Iamsorry if I’ve been a jackass.”
