“Would you beg me to kiss you?” Reid asked, a thrill of arousal curling in his stomach at the thought. Not that he wanted Gabriel on his knees or anything, but it felt good to be wanted.
Gabriel swallowed, then wet his lips. “Please,” he said, barely above a whisper.
Reid surged forward, sealing his lips over Gabriel’s, backing them both up against the wall and pressing their bodies together, pinning him in place.
Gabriel tasted like stale coffee and breath mints, and that was adorable. He still felt small under Reid’s hands, but not fragile anymore. Not like Reid was at risk of breaking him.
He moved his hands to Gabriel’s hips, holding him still, closing his eyes as he heard Gabriel moan under him, his stomach clenching at the sound. Gabriel was gorgeous, perfect in every way Reid could think of, and surprisingly eager.
What he lacked in technique he more than made up for in enthusiasm, parting his lips and making soft, needy sounds that went straight to Reid’s cock.
All Reid could imagine wanting out of life right now was more of this. He’d held back, and told himself it was just a stupid crush, a fleeting interest, but this feltgood. He’d waited so long for it, and now it was worth every second.
“You don’t need to beg,” he murmured. “I’ve been dying to do that.”
“Me too,” Gabriel said, his lips kiss-swollen and his eyes dark. Their bodies were close enough together that Reid could feel Gabriel half-hard against him, and he couldn’t really pretend that his own cock hadn’t stirred as well.
Gabriel glanced at the examination table, hope in his eyes.
Reid chuckled. He could get behind the eagerness, but he didn’t have time right now. Not if he didn’t want to get busted screwing an ex-patient during work hours, in his office.
Having a crush on Gabriel had been alittleunprofessional, but that would have been a whole lot worse.
“I have other patients.”
Gabriel sighed, his shoulders slumping with disappointment.
“Hey, I’m not saying no,” Reid said. “I thought you were supposed to be straight.”
Gabriel glanced over Reid’s shoulder, staring off into the middle distance, and then blinked a few times and met his eyes again. “I thinksupposedto be is the key word, there. I don’t… I don’t know, okay? I’m happy to admit that in this case, I justdon’t know, but… look, I’m a scientist. I’m all about experimenting.”
“Experimenting?” Reid raised an eyebrow.
“With you,” Gabriel clarified. “In, uh. Bed? If that’s something…”
“Definitely,” Reid said, his stomach fluttering. If Gabriel had been his last appointment for the day, he would already have been tearing his clothes off.
Gabriel looked at him expectantly.
“I’ll text you my address,” Reid said, figuring that was the best option for both of them. “Come over around seven, I’ll be home by then.”
Gabriel nodded eagerly, his eyes still wide and dark.
Reid stared at him for a few moments, still processing what was happening. Belatedly, he pushed away from the wall, giving Gabriel room to escape.
“Seven,” Gabriel repeated, grabbing his coat and throwing it over his shoulders. His face was flushed and his hair was more of a mess than usual, which was a great look for him.
Hopefully, people outside would assume it was because Reid had been treating him, not making out with him.
“I’ll be there,” Gabriel said, shoving his hands deep in his pockets. “Umm. Thank you. For everything.”
“Thank me after,” Reid responded with a wink.
Gabriel smiled at that, heading for the door, a definite bounce in his step. Reid understood. His heart was pounding in his chest, excitement and anticipation welling up in his stomach. This waseasilythe best day of his week so far.
He flopped down at his desk, grinning ear-to-ear at the thought that Gabriel wanted him, and he’d understood why Reid couldn’t respond the first time, and he’d come back for more.
Reid pulled up Gabriel’s patient file so he could permanently close it, still grinning to himself. He could hardly wait for seven o’clock to come.
