“No, baby. It doesn’t matter. We’ll do other stuff.”
“Yeah, but you’re even scared to touch my ass. My fear is affecting both of us, not just me.”
“Do you want me to touch your ass?”
“Yes.”
Garridan slid his hand down to his ass cheek. “Perfect.”
“I like it. I’m not scared at all.”
Garridan pressed one finger against the crack of Sage’s ass. He watched for any signs of distress but didn’t see any at all.
He was confused when Sage stood, but Garridan let him. If he changed his mind, then Garridan would accept that. He wouldn’t push no matter how hard his dick got. Garridan watched him go over to the nightstand and open the drawer.
Sage bent and that perfect ass stole his attention. “I can feel you looking at me. You’re always watching me.”
“Yes. Does it bother you?”
“No. I’m just curious why?” Sage rummaged through the drawer.
“Two reasons.”
Sage smiled. “Stop being evasive and tell me what they are.”
Garridan grinned. “One: You’re beautiful. Even the way you speak is beautiful. Two: I want to make sure you’re okay.”
“That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.” Sage started rummaging through the drawer even more.
Garridan smiled. “Baby, what are you looking for?”
“The lube. There was a tube in here somewhere,” Sage said.
Garridan stiffened in the chair and sat up straighter. “We don’t have to.”
“I know. Ha!” Sage held up a tube and straightened. “I knew it was in there somewhere.”
“Are you sure?”
Sage shrugged and took the couple of steps back to Garridan. “I’m sure I want you to touch me some more. Maybe even put your finger in.”
“Oh Gods,” Garridan said when Sage put the lube on the table and took off his T-shirt. Garridan had to adjust his erection through his pants when Sage’s underwear came off.
“Will you take off your sweats?” Sage asked as he stood there staring down at Garridan.
“We should move to the bed, baby.”
“No. I want to be able to look into your eyes. I need to know it’s you who’s touching me.”
“It will only be me touching you. No one else. Ever again, Sage.” Garridan’s eyes changed and he growled at the thought. “You’re mine.”
“Yes. That’s right. That’s what I want, to be yours, and for you to be mine.”
“We already belong to each other.” Garridan lifted his hips to strip his pants off. His underwear came with them. When he was naked except for the shirt that fell open at his sides, he took a hold of Sage’s waist again and leaned forward, kissing his stomach. The muscles beneath Sage’s skin bunched. Garridan kissed him again and then turned his head so that his cheek rested where the kiss had been. Garridan could feel Sage’s hard cock against his upper chest. He rubbed his face against Sage’s skin, wanting to mark him somehow. He wasn’t sure why he felt the need, especially after they had already bonded, but his dragon needed it.
Sage’s hands came up to hold the back of his head, rubbing over his coarse hair. He had just gotten it cut last week and it was so short it was practically non-existent. Ever since he did, Sage always ran the tip of his fingers over it. Garridan wasn’t sure why, maybe he just liked the difference between them. Garridan certainly liked the fact that every strand of hair on Sage’s body was soft to the touch.
He kissed the place right above Sage’s cock, tasting the pre-cum that covered the spot. He licked his lips and then kissed the tip of his cock. He kissed a second time and then licked around the head.
