My heart pounded in my ears. It was now or never. “Yes,” I admitted softly. “I do want…I want you to…”
Those sexy pink lips of his curved into a smile. “To?” he urged.
I could feel my face heating up. Fuck it! I was already caught; I might as well dive in and be honest. “Fine, you want to know? You really want to know?” My voice grew louder as desire warred with anxiety.
“That would be nice,” he answered, his voice husky. He sat down and slid his body next to me on the sofa, one leg bent and pressed into the back cushion. With his other leg still hanging over the sofa, he faced me, legs spread so I could see his hard dick pressing against his boxers.
I moaned. “Yes. It’s true. I was…fantasizing about… you…doing things to me,” I admitted, my humiliation complete.
He leaned closer and nipped my shoulder with his teeth. “And what do I do to you in your fantasies?”
My breath hitched in my chest. Was this really happening?
“Tell me,” he whispered and leaned away, his hand sliding down my arm and onto my leg.
Baffled, I shook my head. “I-I thought you were straight? Aren’t you?” Was I being set up? Was this some sort of prank he and Jack were pulling?
A grin spread across his face. “No,” he answered as he slid his hand a little higher on my thigh.
My heart was racing. “Are you bi?”
His eyes crinkled as his grin widened. “No.”
My stomach was doing flip-flops as I realized what he was telling me. I looked at him, daring to hope I was right. “Are you…?”
His eyes held mine for a moment and I saw it all clearly. The lust. The desire. I hadn’t been imagining it at all.
“Yes. I’m gay. Only attracted to men. Always have been.” He paused. “I hid it for years, but not anymore. I can’t live a lie anymore, Evan.”
The way he said my name made me tremble. Stunned, I stared at him. “Does Jack know?”
Nick nodded and licked his lips as he leaned in. “Why do you think he let me stay here tonight while he was out?” A smile tugged at his plump lips as my eyes widened. “He knows how bad I have it for you. How bad I want you. Jack gave me his key.”
I was shocked. How could I have known? “Y-you w-want me?” I stammered.
“Yes, you,” he confirmed, his eyes twinkling. “I’ve been crazy about you since the first day I met you.” He squeezed my leg. “Now tell me what you fantasize about,” he ordered quietly. “So we can seeif our fantasies match up.”
Oh God, that turned me on. I loved an alpha male. A man who knew how to take charge. Could I really tell him, though? I cleared my throat, stalling.
He could tell what I was doing. He pulled his hand from my leg and stood up.
“Where are you going?” I asked, my heart frozen in my throat.
Nick looked down at me. His gaze fell to my crotch as he tucked his fingers under the hem of his shirt. He yanked it over his head and tossed it to the ground.
I gasped. Oh God, all that thick curly hair. I wanted to bury my face in his chest and breathe him in. When he turned to leave the room, I jumped up and grabbed his hand. “Don’t go,” I pleaded.
He turned back to me with a smile. “I’m just grabbing a beer while you decide if you can be honest and tell me what you really want.”
Fuck! He was so hot. I couldn’t even think straight.
“Okay,” I relented. “I’ll tell you…when you get back from the kitchen.” God I was pathetic. Too scared to admit my desires.
He chuckled and let go of my hand as he headed into the kitchen. “You want another beer?”
“Sure.” I chugged the rest of my current beer, then sat on the sofa and tried to figure out how to looksexy. Maybe if I pouted my lips? I pushed them out and tried to look pouty while I leaned back, hoping I looked alluring.
Yeah, that didn’t work. Nick laughed when he walked back into the living room.
“You look like you sucked a lemon!”
Okay. Fail. I bit my bottom lip to keep from blurting out I sure knew something else I wanted to suck. I didn’t have the nerve. Nick opened my beer and handed it to me. I took a swig as he sat down, right next to me.
