“Ineed you to touch me,” Ethan stated firmly, wondering if Beau had rethought hisneed to control this.
Ethan’svoice wasn’t as demanding as he would’ve liked and he was pretty sure he’dshocked Beau as well. That or Beau’s dominant side was just begging to come outbecause the next thing he knew, he was in Beau’s arms, their lips pressedtogether in a kiss that was so gentle, his bones turned to mush.
“Iwanted to spend the entire night kissing you last night,” Beau mumbled againsthis lips, his fingers running up the back of his neck and cradling his head. “Idreamed about this. About you.”
“Yeah?”Ethan was breathless already.
“Allnight. I was tempted to crawl out of bed and come back just so I could hold youin my arms and…” Beau let the sentence trail off and Ethan pulled back slightlyso he could look Beau in the eye.
“Andwhat?”
Beaushook his head and pulled Ethan closer, but Ethan managed to pull away,inserting another small amount of space between their bodies. The steam fromthe shower had slowly filled the bathroom, causing the mirror to fog, and theroom to warm several degrees. In an attempt to move things along, Ethanunbuttoned his jeans and pushed them down over his hips.
“Tellme. What did you want to do?” Ethan was unable to suppress the needy growl ashe kept his eyes locked with Beau’s.
“Iwanted to make love to you,” Beau growled, the shyness in his voice evident,but it was mixed with something that sounded like hunger.
Ethanimmediately realized what Beau was getting at. He wanted to make lovetoEthan, which meant… Ethan wouldn’t be the top.
Theidea sent a chill down his spine, another bout of anticipation erupted in hisgut. God, he wanted to feel Beau, to have him buried to the hilt inside of himuntil they were one. Truthfully, it’d been a long time since Ethan had been thebottom and he bet…
Shit.
Beauhad never…
Ethangripped Beau’s t-shirt, jerking him forward until their bodies collided and hecrushed their lips together, his tongue seeking admission into Beau’sdelectable mouth. Beau had never penetrated another man. And Ethan was going tobe his first.
“Getnaked,” Ethan growled. “I want to feel every fucking inch of you against myskin.”
Pushingaway, Ethan stumbled in an attempt to pull his own boots off, but finallymanaged to undress himself without face-planting on the floor. He consideredthat a good thing.
Andwhen Beau was naked too, Ethan would consider that the best possible thing thatcould happen to him.
Chapter Twenty Three
??
Beauwould be the first to admit that he loved the hell out of Ethan’s inability toconceal what he was feeling in front of him. It didn’t matter if the manconsidered himself guarded or not, his true feelings shone like a beacon in hisbeautiful smoky blue eyes. Beau had been a little self-conscious aboutadmitting what he wanted from Ethan, but somehow he’d found the words.
Therewere a lot of things he’d said tonight that had shocked him. Beau had alwaysbeen the quiet one, the third wheel so to speak, and now that he was addressingthis relationship with Ethan head on, he was finding things about himself thathe hadn’t known. Things that he liked.
Likedominating Ethan.
Althoughsomewhere in the last few minutes, it seemed as though Ethan had forgotten whowas actually in charge here.
Beaudidn’t forget.
OnceEthan was naked, Beau just stared at him, admiring his sexy body.
“Naked,Beau.” Ethan’s voice held an urgent edge, but Beau managed to refrain fromreacting.
Tonightbelonged to him. Ethan belonged to him.
Andnow was an excellent time to show Ethan what that actually meant.
“Undressme.”Fuck.Had he really just said that?
Ethan’sdark eyebrow lifted, but he grinned devilishly and Beau’s skin prickled with awareness.
