The cool night air felt good on his sweat-dampened skin and he took a deep breath to calm his nerves. Chris stopped next to his SUV. He pushed Seth against the passenger door and moved in close, his arms braced on the vehicle. Their hips pressed together and Seth gasped as their cocks rubbed together through their jeans.
“Now, I’m only going to say this once, Eggplant. Got it?”
Seth nodded and swallowed hard, trying not to notice the beauty of Chris’s blue eyes in the glow of the parking lot lights.
“I’ve fallen hard for you. I’ve never felt like this, but I can’t keep waiting for you. I’m going to tell you the short version, okay?”
Once again, Seth nodded but stayed silent, fighting the urge to lick Chris’s neck.
“Joey and I dated. Well, it was more of a physical thing. We had sex. For a few months. It was years ago and it ended on…well, what I thought were agreeable terms. I had no idea he was still interested in me, or I wouldn’t have brought him in on this job. He kissed me. And despite what you may think, I did not kiss him back.”
“You didn’t?” Seth whispered.
“How could I when all I can think about is you? You are on my mind constantly, and being apart has been killing me. I don’t know how to do this right. I’ve never felt this way about anyone. All I know is I need you. I want you all the time.”
Seth’s heart pounded in his ears as he listened to Chris. And he knew—knew—that Chris was telling the truth. Seth had jumped to conclusions and acted immature.
“You really want me all the time?”
Chris ground his hips against Seth’s. “What do you think, Eggplant?” he whispered. “Every night I lay in bed and think about you.”
“I think about you, too.”
“Yeah? What do you think about?” Chris asked as he leaned down and nipped at the base of his neck.
Seth moaned. “I…I…oh, God,” he moaned as Chris licked a stripe up his neck and began nibbling his ear.
“You like that?”
“Mmm-hmm.”
“Tell me what you think about,” Chris urged.
“I think…think about you touching me.” Seth groaned as Chris bit his earlobe.
“Do you touch yourself when you think about me?” Chris’s voice was husky.
“Fuck, yes. Every night.”
“Want to know what I think about?”
“Yes.”
“I think about what it would be like to feel you straddle me and take me deep inside. Slowly sliding down, inch by inch until I’m completely buried in you and you ride me.”
“Fuck…” Seth moaned.
“And when I think of that, Seth? I’m naked in my bed and stroking my cock. Do you like that idea? Me inside you?”
“Yes! God, yes!”
“Are we done with our fight?”
Seth nodded. So done.
“Are you mine, then?”
“Yours,” he answered, wrapping his arms around Chris and grinding against him.
“Then get your ass in your car and meet me at my apartment or I’m going to end up fucking you right here.”
“I have a friend here. I need to tell him I’m leaving.”
“You mean the guy going down on the bear three cars over?”
Seth wriggled out of Chris’s arms. “What?” He scanned the parking lot for Damon. Shit. There he was. On his knees, the guy’s dick down his throat. Crap. What was the thing to do here? He didn’t want to just leave. But he didn’t want to interrupt.
“What’s your friend’s name?”
“Damon.”
“Hey! Damon! Over here,” Chris hollered.
Seth felt himself blush as people looked their way. Damon pulled off the guy and glanced over in shock.
“Sorry to interrupt, but we’re leaving.”
Damon looked questioningly at Seth, so he shot him a thumbs-up sign and smiled. Damon stood and covered up his new friend, then waved goodbye to Seth before they got into his car.
Seth pulled out his phone and texted him…With Chris. Be careful. Text address where you end up just in case.
His phone buzzed almost immediately with Damon’s reply. OK.
They had a rule between them. If one left with a stranger, they always sent the other an address so if that person didn’t return calls or show up the next day, they could track them down. It was a safety thing and they were diligent, although Seth didn’t go home with strangers half as often as Damon did. He was still in that fuck-everything-that-walks part of his life.
A few minutes later, Seth followed Chris to his apartment and tried to keep from coming in his jeans.
Yes, an alpha male always turned Seth on. And up until now, he’d never realized how much of an alpha Chris truly was.
