The alpha kept surprising him.
Ryder hummed again, caressing Spencer’s slit with his thumb. “You like a little sweetness, pretty baby?”
Spencer let out a shuddering sigh, arching against Ryder’s frame. “Yeah. It’s nice sometimes, huh?”
Well, fuck. That was no hardship. Ryder ghosted his nose over Spencer’s shoulder and then placed a firm kiss to the crook of his neck.
He was rewarded with another shudder, paired with a bitten-off whine. Spencer was sensitive there. No wonder he liked it.
Ryder had never had tolearnsomeone before, either in the bedroom or out of it.
First there had been a sea of indifference and disinterest, and then there had been Ash, bright and fierce and perfect, and Ryder hadn’t needed anything more. With their history, he and Ash didn’t have to wonder what the other was thinking very often, or guess at what made them tick. Their knowledge of each other was ingrained at this point, an unconscious kind of awareness that didn’t require any effort. And whatever had happened between them as they’d grown older had been natural, an extension of a well-established dynamic.
But somehow in the past months Spencer had gotten under their respective skins, and now Ryder had a whole person to figure out anew.
Spencer was a new element, and surface-level knowledge wasn’t going to cut it for long if Ash really wanted to make something of this with the three of them.
Ryder needed to know him. All of him. Nothing less was going to cut it.
He started stroking the heavy cock in his hand, placing a trail of kisses along Spencer’s long neck, up to his ear. Ryder bit gently at the lobe, smirking at Spencer’s groan.
“Hush,” Ryder told him, rocking into him, trying to relieve some of the ache in his own dick within the firm globes of Spencer’s ass.
The friction wasn’t enough, so Ryder released Spencer’s cock, ignoring the alpha’s whispered yell of protest to squirt more conditioner on his own cock, sliding it experimentally between Spencer’s cheeks. There. That was better.
Ryder fisted Spencer’s erection again, circling an apology for the delay into the tender skin with his thumb.
“No one cares, by the way,” Spencer said, letting his head fall back against Ryder’s shoulder, his throat now displayed almost obscenely to Ryder’s alpha gaze. “About the noise.”
“You fuck in the showers a lot?” Ryder asked him gruffly, more curious than anything. He wasn’t going to waste his time getting jealous of Spencer’s past bedpost notches. As long as no one was trying to take what Ryder and Ash were claiming now, it was all good.
“Only—only sometimes,” Spencer gasped, pumping his hips along with Ryder’s movements, chasing the tight grip Ryder was teasing him with. “Hard to get alphas.”
“Easier for you than for some, I’d think.”
“Why?”
“Well, look at you,” Ryder said simply.
Spencer whined, gripping hard at Ryder’s wrist as his hips jerked again.
Funny how Ryder used to think praise would make Spencer too cocky, that he thought enough of himself already and didn’t need any more encouragement. But that wasn’t the case, was it? Spencer was weak to it, in the way of people who didn’t getnearly enough. Praise softened him. Sweetened him. Added a generous dose of sugar to his spiced-tea scent.
Ryder sped up his rhythm, kissing and licking at the neck Spencer had arched so obligingly for him, tonguing and nibbling at his ear.
“Oh shit,” Spencer moaned, quiet but not as quiet as he should have been given the circumstances. “I think—think I’m gonna come.” He let out a drunken-sounding laugh. “Fuck. What are you doing to my stamina, big guy?”
Ryder’s own balls were high and tight with arousal, his cock throbbing in the warmth of Spencer’s skin. He bit blunt teeth into the crook of Spencer’s neck, and the other alpha shuddered, spilling into Ryder’s hand.
Ryder let the spray rinse it off as he rutted against him. Spencer had gone boneless and pliant in his arms, but that didn’t matter. Ryder was close.
“God, your cock is thick,” Spencer slurred, nuzzling his nose into Ryder’s neck, his chai scent so rich Ryder could almost taste it on his tongue. “Can’t wait to take it.”
Fucking god.
It didn’t take Ryder long to come after that. He tensed and tightened his hold around Spencer’s muscled torso, his cock pulsing its release into the dip of Spencer’s lower back.
He looked good covered in Ryder’s cum.
