“Alistair,” Van sort of growled my name then, like he had when we’d been outside the bar arguing about me going home. This time, it felt more like a warning that it had back when he’d said it on the sidewalk.
“Van,” I mimicked, needing to hear his name in my mouth. The look he was giving me wasn’t instantly readable, but I could feel the intensity in his gorgeous eyes that made my skin prickle at being perceived. “I know we have a working relationship, and I’m not trying to diminish that. You’ve been really great and I—”
Never would I get the chance to finish my sentence, because in that moment, Van cut through the very feeble space separating us and pressed his lips to mine so swiftly that I thought I had imagined it. I allowed the shock to absorb into my body for exactly five seconds before I closed my eyes and savored the kiss. It was a peck, really, but already my body was responding. My dick was swelling up fast as fuck, tightening my pants and making me glad that Van couldn’t feel my arousal.
With a sickening sound, Van ripped his lips from me, staring back at me with a look of bewilderment. He honestly looked just as shocked as I had been initially.
For a moment, we just started at one another. Our breathing was the only sound filling the room, and both of our chests were rising and falling with evident strain from our quick kiss. I didn’t want to completely throw myself at him. We’d both been drinking, but the yearning I had for our skin to meld together was warping my brain. The only thing I wanted was more moremore.
“Alistair, I’m so sorry.” He said, washing his palm over his face, momentarily obscuring those beautiful blue, almost purple, eyes from me. “I wasn’t thinking.”
I scooted closer to him, so that my knees were touching his leg. I delighted in the sight that was his obvious arousal, jutting out from its trapped placement in his slacks. I locked eyes with him again and started to shake my head in protest.
“No.” I told him, grabbing both sides of his face, allowing my fingers to tease the follicles of his recently shaven jaw. “No more thinking.”
And then I pressed my lips against him hard. So hard I thought both of us might break. But once I felt his arms wrapping around me, pulling me into his lap like I belonged there, I knew there was no going back now.
The line between us wasn’t just blurred anymore. It was completely destroyed.
Chapter 15
Van’s handsswirled in my hair now that we were both devoid of any other clothing besides our underwear. Neither of us needed much convincing to continue after I’d kissed him back, which meant the remainder of our clothes were scattered across the carpet of the hotel room’s floor.
Our kiss was devouring every inch of me, making me feel blissfully overwhelmed from fingertips to toenails. My body was sensory overdrive and I was tempted to move everything I had to that feeling. Even just having Van’s hands in my hair, streaming through my strands with such intent care and fervor was liable to have me coming way too fucking quickly. I wanted this to last for as long as humanly possible.
And my god, this fucker could kiss. I’d kissed a fair amount of men in my day, but something about Van made me wild at heart in a way I’d never experienced before. He was almost animalistic in the way he claimed my lips. He ripped his lips off mine, only to lick and kiss along my neck. The moan that ripped out of me wasn’t measured, too overwhelmed by what he was doing to my body to keep myself from acting with restraint.
My hands roamed over his broad back, enjoying every single dip and dive into his muscles. I’d thought his body sans clotheswas perfection when it was wrapped in a suit, but that was nothing compared to his body. He was hairy, toned, and tanned, and I was in no position to complain. Van was iron and my hands were flame, intent on igniting him in ways he’d never experienced before.
I thrusted my hips into his, his strained dick grinding against my own. I was so hard, and knowing that he was just as hard as I was just made me considerably harder. He groaned against my neck when my hands snaked down his perfectly crafted body and squeezed his ass.
He lifted off my neck, slack-jawed and in awe of the sensations we were creating. Van stared into my eyes with intense intentions.
“Alistair,” My name had never sounded hotter than in his mouth while he was struggling to regain control over his breathing. “Are we sure we should be doing this?”
I commended his self-righteousness and morality, but I was too fucking horny to care. Not wanting to respond right away, I took his beefy hand and placed it on my cock, a wet spot already forming at the obscene jutting of my white boxer briefs. Our moans melded into one groan of satisfaction. His fingers responded by forming a hold around my dick as I mentally hissed at the contact, jerking in his loose grip.
“Does that feel unsure to you?” I questioned, a smirk on my face and a look in my eyes that dared him to deny what we were both so clearly feeling.
I could see a silent battle in his eyes, like there was something really bothering him that he, at least for a short few seconds, thought he needed to discuss with me before we did what we were about to do. But he either thought better of it or decided it really wasn’t as pertinent as he’d previously thought, because the next thing I knew, he was using both hands to thumb over thewaistband of my boxer briefs and jerking them down in one swift motion.
My breath caught as my cock made it harder for him to remove my underwear, but they were no match for Van’s adamance that I be nude. Van barely looked away from me as he tossed my underwear to the floor, too busy looking at me like I was a delicious steak and he’d been starving for an entire week. His eyes dropped to my dick and the fucker sucked in his bottom lip. Seeing the reaction he was having to my body made my dick leap in the air, another bead of pre-cum slithering out of the tip.
“You are fuckingbeautiful, Alistair.” Van told me, slowly tracing his palms along the length of my legs, starting from my ankles and making their way up my thighs in search for the prize he refused to take his eyes off of.
Feeling his hands on my thighs, I wanted to shiver from the pleasure of his touch, but I didn’t allow that to happen because I’d be damned if I was going to be the only one without any clothes on. I sat up, pointing at his obvious hard-on. “Take those off. Now.”
His smirk twisted a sensation in the deep pit of my stomach. I didn’t want to dwell on whatever the fuck was happening there, not when I had such a delicious man right in front of me, just as eager to jump my bones as I was to jump his. Van slid off the bed to pull his navy boxer briefs down, stepping out of them and allowing me to see his body the way it deserved to be viewed.
Goddamn, he was incredible. His body was one that seemed to be precise in the work he obviously put into it. I mean, he was a bodyguard, after all. I never gave much thought to what sort of exercise he must do to keep himself in tip-top shape in order to put himself in harm’s way for other people, but whatever the fuck he was doing, it was clearly working.
And his dick was…well, I was a little worried for my ass, if we headed that direction. Let’s just say that Van was definitely proportionate to the rest of him.
He sprung back on the bed, clawing his way back over my body. I started rolling back down to laying on my back as he meshed his body against mine, both of us exhaling with a hitched breath as our dicks ground against each other again. I’d decided, wholeheartedly, that my favorite thing on the fucking Earth was Van laying on top of me like that. I was caged in by not only his bigger and broader body, but by his arms on either side of my frame.
I’d never felt safer than at his disposal, and that thought made my stomach churn knowingly again. I’d had whole relationships with guys that never made me feel a fraction of the comfort that Van was giving me.
“Tell me what you want me to do to you, Alistair.” Van whispered in the small space between us, our faces so close that our noses were almost touching. “All you have to do is tell me and I’ll give it to you.”
