Levi’s body responded before he processed the words — every muscle clenching as his cock twitched. He felt Asher smile against his skin.
“Oh.” The sound was quiet and delighted and hungry. “Oh, Levi.”
“That wasn’t —”
“Your whole body just said yes. I saidtieand your body saidplease.”
“It didn’t —” His face was on fire.
“Not tonight.” Asher sighed, reaching around to stroke Levi’s cock and yank him back against his face. “But next time, baby. We’re adding that to the list.”
Levi cried out, his hands fisting the sheets as Asher’s teeth sank into the left side of his ass.
“Good boy,” Asher said as he pulled back. Levi glanced behind him and watched Asher wipe his mouth with the back of his hand, slowly and deliberately, holding eye contact while he did it. Levi bit his lip and his face burned and Asher grinned because he saw both. “Stay like that, baby.”
He reached over the edge of the bed, fumbling to grab his pants he discarded in a hurry, and then came back with the small bottle of lube from the sanitarium.
Levi stared at it. Then at Asher. “You said you didn’t have it.”
“I said I didn’t have itthen,“ he grinned.
“Why the fuck would you lie?”
“I didn’t lie, I just didn’t have itonme. It was in the drawer of the desk I bent you over—”
Levi turned around and smacked him. “You let me think we had to —”
“I wanted to use my mouth,” Asher said, catching Levi’s wrist as he tried to slap Asher again. “I wanted you in that position and I wanted my mouth on you. The easiest way to get both was to not mention where the lube was.”
“Thespit—”
“—was because I wanted to spit in your mouth.“ He sucked two of Levi’s captive fingers into his mouth, lolling his tongue around them without breaking eye contact.
“You—you’re—you’re —” Levi’s vocabulary failed him, his outrage and his arousal occupying the same space in his chest and neither one winning. “You are genuinely the worst person alive.”
“And your pretty little cock is dripping on the sheets and you haven’t told me to stop.” Asher pressed his lips to each of Levi’s fingers, one by one, the tenderness of it obscene after the confession. “Because you liked it. All of it. My mouth, the spit, the not knowing. You liked it and you’re angry at yourself for liking it, and watching you be angry at yourself is one of my favorite things.”
“I’m using the lube this time,” Asher continued, clicking the cap open. “Because I want to fuck you for a long time and the lube makes that possible. Not because you asked nicely. Now turn around and show me what’s mine before I get impatient.”
Levi glared at him, not willing to let the subject drop, but Asher smirked and shrugged.Uh-oh.Asher’s hand flew from his wrist back to his hair, twisting him back towards the bed and slamming him face down into a comforter that was already damp with Levi’s sweat and tears.
The first finger was slick and warm and Levi’s body clenched against it immediately. His jaw went tight and his fingers twisted in the sheets and he could hear his own breath hissing between his teeth. He knew this part. That was what made it worse — he knew what it felt like, how long it took, how good it would be onthe other side, and his body still fought it every single time. The fighting was its own kind of humiliation. Asher could feel the resistance around his fingers and Levi could feel Asher feeling it.
“Breathe,” Asher said quietly. “I’ve got you.”
“I know you’ve got me, it’s my own body that’s the —fuuuuck—” The second finger pushed in.
“You’re doing so good for me, baby,” Asher whispered against his lower back, “even if your body is so determined not to let me in.”
“It’s not personal, it’s the —” Levi choked out as Asher wasted no time pushing in a third finger, his hands pulling the sheets tight enough that the fitted corner popped off the mattress. “Go slower—”
“No.” Asher curled his fingers just right and the burn rewired itself into something electric. Levi couldn’t stop the moan that exploded out of him. “There we go.”
Levi’s body went from fighting Asher’s fingers to chasing them in the space of three heartbeats — his hips moving, pressing back, all resistance gone because the pleasure had overwhelmed it. Asher’s fingers withdrew after a few more embarrassing moans out of Levi, one hand pressing down between Levi’s shoulder blades.
“They have to have candles in this place,” Asher murmured, lining himself up. “It’s a hotel. I’ll check the front desk —”
“Are you seriously talking about candles right —”
