“Ifyou’re expecting this to last, you might wanna slow down now.” The wordssounded strangled coming out as he fought for air and Beau couldn’t even openhis eyes, the feeling was so intense.
Ethanchuckled, the vibrations sending additional shards of pleasure coursing throughhim.
Beaumanaged to force his eyes open so he could look to see what was at the top ofthe stairs. He wanted to go up there. Whatever it was, he prayed he’d have theoption of sitting down because… “Fucking hell.”
Oneof Ethan’s hands had slipped beneath his shirt, the rough pads of his fingersscraping over his skin, moving higher until Ethan was pinching his nipple.
“Iwant to taste you. All of you,” Ethan said as he stared back at him, his handstill beneath his shirt as he forced it upward. “Take this off.”
Beaudidn’t argue, just gripped a handful of his shirt behind his head and pulled itup and off. When Ethan’s breath caught, Beau’s body tightened even more.Returning his gaze to Ethan’s face, the approving look had Beau once againsearching for air.
Ethan’shands returned to his chest, his palms flat as he trailed them downward overhis pecs, his abs, and then returning to his cock.
“E,I can’t take much more,” he warned him.
“We’rejust getting started,” Ethan said confidently, his mouth latching onto hisnipple as soon as the words were out.
“That’swhat you think,” Beau groaned, his hands clenching into fists at his side. Hewanted this to last forever, but at this rate, he was going to come in Ethan’shand. And as much as he liked that idea, he knew he had to exert just a minimalamount of control.
WhenEthan’s lips returned to his, Beau took two handfuls of Ethan’s shirt andlifted, breaking the kiss only long enough to remove the interfering garment.Once that was out of the way, they were pressed together, skin to skin, mouthto mouth, and Beau realized suddenly that control was no longer a word in hisvocabulary.
Asthough Ethan could sense just how close to the edge he was, he broke the kissas he took a step back, grabbing Beau’s hand as he moved to ascend what wasleft of the stairs leading up.
Oncethey made it to the second floor, Beau was momentarily distracted by theamazing space. Ethan’s master bedroom was actually a loft that was probablytwice the size of Beau’s entire apartment. The glass and bamboo theme continuedup there, and the furniture was more contemporary than what had been downstairs.
Theposh, black, king-sized sleigh bed stood off to one side, positionedappropriately to overlook the back yard, the surrounding trees and the pool,which looked considerably bigger from the second floor. On the other side ofthe room was a set of double doors and beyond that, Beau could see whatappeared to be a tiled shower. He didn’t even have time to consider what was onthe other side of the sliding glass door that appeared to lead outside.
WithEthan still holding his hand, leading him closer and closer to the bed, Beauwas still trying to remember to breathe.
Tryingto take his mind off of what was about to happen, he admired Ethan’s sleek,muscular back and what appeared to be a quote tattooed between his shoulderblades. He wanted to get close enough to read the calligraphy scrolled neatlyover his spine, but couldn’t find the strength to push himself in thatdirection.Shit.At this rate, Beau wasn’t sure he’d ever even make itto the bed.
Hishands were shaking, his knees trembling. He felt like a teenager who’d neverdone this before. Granted, he hadn’t donethisbefore because nothingcompared to this. But it wasn’t like sex was new to him.
Thenagain, he had a sneaking suspicion that sex with Ethan Walker was going to takethings to an entirely different level.
Chapter Fifteen
??
Ethanhadn’t been in a position like this one in… well, he wasn’t sure he’deverbeen in a position like this one. Beau might not literally be a virgin, butEthan knew what they were about to share would be a first for Beau. Hell, afirst for both of them.
Ethandidn’t make it a point to be with inexperienced men. Didn’t serve his purpose.The encounters Ethan immersed himself in weren’t for the faint of heart. Hedidn’t have emotional sex, wasn’t interested in being with someone who wantedthat. Yet here he was. And this was strangely the only place he wanted to be.
Onlywith Beau.
Learningthat Beau had only been with one other man had struck a possessive chord insideof Ethan, one so deep, he’d had a single moment of uncertainty. What kind ofman did it make him that Ethan wished he could erase that encounter so that hecould be Beau’s first? And what did that say about him?
Couldhe actually go through with this? Would Beau understand how casual this was?Would Ethan be able to remember that point as well?
Nomatter what the answers to those questions were, his own selfishness had gottenthe better of him. Ethan wanted to be with Beau. More than he wanted his nextbreath. So, once he made the decision, he vowed to put his own hunger on theback burner temporarily because his ultimate goal was to please Beau. To makethis an experience he wouldn’t soon forget.
Andyes, maybe that was selfish on Ethan’s part as well.
AlthoughEthan was trying to control his own need, he couldn’t deny how intenselysatisfying Beau’s reactions were. The sensual way he moved, moaned, said hisname. Every single response was fanning that flame that had ignited within himmonths ago when this very same man had originally tempted him. Now that theywere upstairs in his bedroom, Ethan wanted to push Beau beyond the realm of ecstasy,just to see how much he could take.
Leadinghim to his bed, Ethan situated their positions so that Beau was forced to siton the edge of the mattress while Ethan took his place standing between hislegs. Like this, Ethan loomed over Beau, giving him a better advantage tocontrol the kiss he wanted. Tilting Beau’s head back with his hands cupping hisface, Ethan leaned over, aligning their mouths before thrusting his tongue deepinto Beau’s awaiting mouth.
Theguy could kiss.
