“We’ll make time.”
Lucas smiled and laid his head on Bennett’s chest.
Chapter Twelve
Lucas watched Bennett out of the corner of his eyes as the man ate the sandwich he had fixed. Something about the way Bennett bit into his food turned Lucas on so much it made his cock hard. It pressed against the zipper of his jeans and he wriggled around in his seat, trying to find a more comfortable position as discreetly as possible.
“I can smell your arousal, you know,” Bennett said and took another bite of his sandwich.
“Oh. Well, that’s embarrassing.”
Bennett set his sandwich on the table, his eyebrows drawing together in puzzlement. “It shouldn’t be. I’m your mate. I like it when you get aroused. It makes me that way too.”
“I’m making you horny?”
“Oh yeah, baby. You want to feel me?” Bennett pushed his chair from the table and opened his legs.
“If I feel you, we’ll both end up coming. Which I want. More than anything. I’m just not ready for the bitey stuff. Is that okay?”
“Of course, baby. Not until you’re ready, I promise.”
Lucas couldn’t sit there another minute while Bennett had his long legs apart like that. The coveralls he wore sort of fell around his body in the most delicious way.
Lucas must have had it bad if Bennett’s coveralls turned him on. His horniness only grew with each passing second, his skin heating the longer he sat there.
Bennett’s eyes widened when Lucas started sweating.
“It feels like my blood is boiling,” Lucas said.
Lucas pulled his shirt over his head at the same time Bennett lifted him out of the chair. The second his body touched Bennett’s, he felt better. Lucas kissed Bennett’s cheek as he carried him through the house. He kissed down Bennett’s jawline, licking wherever he could.
“You’re really warm, baby. Are you sure you’re okay?”
Lucas needed more skin. All he could think about was getting as close to Bennett as possible. “I need you.”
“What do you need?”
“I don’t know. Your skin. To feel you.” Lucas pulled on the zipper of his jumpsuit and then groaned in frustration when he saw a white T-shirt underneath. “Please.”
Bennett’s body stiffened. “Something’s wrong.”
Lucas couldn’t focus on anything but Bennett. He pulled his shirt up, his hands cooling as soon as he touched his mate’s skin. Now if only the rest of him would.
Bennett lay him on the bed and pulled away. “Please, Bennett.”
“I’m just getting naked for you, baby. I’m coming back.” He let the jumpsuit fall to the floor, awkwardly kicking off his shoes afterwards. Lucas watched as Bennett pulled his T-shirt over his head and let it lay next to his work suit.
Lucas closed his eyes, his heart rate increasing when he felt Bennett’s fingers on the button of his jeans. Bennett pulled the material off his sweaty body. Lucas lifted his hips to speed up the process. He felt Bennett’s body come down on top of him an instant later. He was almost naked, all except for the underwear.
“How long have you been like this baby? God, you’re burning up,” Bennett said and it was only then that Lucas noticed the concern on Bennett’s face.
Lucas sighed at the feeling of Bennett’s bare skin against his own. Everywhere Bennett touched, it seemed to ease the ache that had been building over the last few days. “I don’t know. Since I met you. I think it has something to do with my superpowers.”
Bennett smiled at him. “‘Superpowers’, Lucas?”
“Witch powers, then. Whatever.” Lucas wrapped his arms around Bennett’s neck, his fingers playing with Bennett’s soft dark hair.
“I take it, you feel better,” Bennett said.
