Page 50 of Mouth to Mouth

“I know. And I’m sorry about that. I blame you though,” Brad declared.

“Me?” Luca smacked his own chest. “What did I do?”

“You are the sexiest, sassiest, biggest pain in the ass. I was an idiot to even think I could forget about you. I was addicted after the first time at the club,” Brad confessed.

In Luca’s opinion, that talk was going really well. He still had to push. “What are you looking for, Brad?” Because Luca knew what he wanted. A partner. Boyfriend. Daddy. All wrapped into one package and willing to understand that Luca liked his life the way it was. That he didn’t have any grand plans for his future.

“Would it piss you off if I said I still don’t know?” Brad replied softly. He held up a hand before Luca would respond. “I know I want you. I’ve enjoyed tonight as much as last night.”

How could he claim not to know then?

“I’ve only had one relationship in my life,” Brad told him. “And that was with Jordan. I know I have to get over what happened with him but that’s not as easy as it sounds.”

Since Luca didn’t have the same experience, he had to give Brad some grace. It wasn’t that Luca hadn’t dated or fooled around. Luca just couldn’t claim to have ever been in a serious relationship. Not good or bad. “Where does that leave us?”

Brad chewed on his bottom lip as he stared out at the massive ocean in front of them.

Luca wondered if Brad found the same sense of peace as he did when he watched the waves. Life could go in many different directions, yet the ocean was constant. The waves came in then out and in again.

And the ocean held its own secrets, didn’t it?

Still even in an age with all the technology they possessed and everything that humankind had found, the ocean still held secrets that they knew nothing about. That was why Luca loved sitting on his surfboard out in the big ocean. He had no idea what was under him. Or around him. It was just one guy in the middle of wonder.

“Luca.” Brad said his name softly pulling Luca’s attention from the water in front of him.

“Yes?”

“Don’t hate me for asking this, please,” Brad said.

Luca braced himself. “Okay.” His response was as quiet as Brad’s words.

“Could we…” Brad swallowed hard. “Would you date me? Like tonight. And more time at the club. I want to get to know you better. I just think we should move slowly. I don’t want to hurt you.”

Luca didn’t want to get hurt either. “I have a condition.”

“That’s fair.” Brad turned his head and smiled. “I would expect nothing less. What is it?”

“We can take it slow, date, but I want to be exclusive. If you’re with me, then you will not be with anyone else.” There might be some possessiveness in Luca’s tone. He couldn’t help it. This was non-negotiable.

Brad chuckled. “Luca, you scare the shit out of me. There is no way that I could handle you and someone else. I agree.”

Luca cupped Brad’s face. “Give me that mouth. We’ll seal it with a kiss.”

“Mouth to mouth,” Brad whispered against Luca’s lips.

Brad

“I’m not sure this is taking it slow.” Not that Brad was complaining as Luca pushed Brad’s shirt down his arms. He just wanted it to be noted that he was trying to be responsible.

Luca cupped Brad’s erection over his jeans once the shirt hit the floor. “I’ll stop if that’s what you want.’

Brad groaned, grinding his erection into Luca’s palm. “Not saying that.”

“Good.” Luca kissed Brad’s neck, then his chin, before pausing a breath away from his lips. “Because I want you to fuck me.”

And that was the last of Brad’s objections. He kissed Luca hard while running his hands down Luca’s ass and grabbing two handfuls. Brad loved Luca’s ass. Round, tight, and muscular. Brad dreamed about that ass.
