Teddy thought of the potential with that found gem. “A good chaise spills no secrets," he warned the piece of furniture. "Got it? Good." He tested the firmness of the couch and then sat on it, bouncing up and down a couple of times to test its strength. It wouldn't be pleasant if the chaise collapsed under extreme physical activity.
Teddy sighed. Not the most romantic atmosphere. But it would do for a little sweaty pleasure. And with Adam used to being overseas, he was sure the man had seen some action in some of the least ideal places. The “action” being man on man lovin’, of course. His stomach did a little flip at the image of other men fucking his Adam.
Teddy snorted. His Adam.
He’s known the man for a couple of hours, if that, and he was suddenly hoping for a ring and a future. Teddy had to keep his fantasies under control. For all he knew, this could end up a once and done hook-up.
In one way, it would be disappointing, in another, he’d take what he could get. He pulled his cell phone out of his jacket pocket and glanced at the time. The stud should be walking in at any second.
Maybe he should get comfortable. Pose in a sexy way. Flip his hair back and pout his lips. Though, Teddy had a feeling Adam wasn’t into too much flair. Teddy needed to keep his “flair-ups” to a minimum. No one liked a drama queen.
Teddy raked his hand through his hair and decided to remove his jacket, at least. It would be a shame if his best suit ended up on the floor.
As he attempted to unbutton his jacket, his fingers trembled so badly he struggled just to slide the buttons through their holes.
Before he could finish, the door quickly opened and shut, and Adam leaned back against the door. His face appeared flushed, and he had a wild look in his eyes. "I was almost caught."
Teddy’s heart jumped into his throat. “But you weren’t.”
“No.”
Teddy released a sigh of relief. “Lock the door.”
Adam reached behind him for the knob, fiddled with it, then turned to look more carefully. He glanced back at Teddy. “No lock.”
Damn. Not having a way to secure the door could be dangerous. An image of someone walking in on them while they were in the middle of consummating their friendship popped into his head. That could be disastrous. But not having a lock wasn’t going to deter his plans. “Can we push something in front of the door?”
Adam glanced around and spotted the large popcorn machine. “I can block the door with that. It’ll at least slow someone down from barging in on us.”
“I like your thinking.”
Adam rolled the popcorn maker in place. “This thing is heavier than it looks.”
Teddy stood staring at the blockaded door, hands on his hips. “I never thought I’d be going back into the closet,” he said.
Adam chuckled and closed in on him, his expression serious. “Shut up and kiss me.”
“Oh, lover, I—”
Adam crushed his lips against him, causing Teddy to gasp. The other man took advantage, pushing his tongue in between his open mouth to explore.
Teddy groaned and became weak in the knees. This man knew how to kiss. His lips were firm and powerful, and Teddy imagined them wrapped around his now painfully hard erection. He groaned again at the image of Adam on his knees.
Without breaking the kiss, Adam finished unbuttoning Teddy’s suit jacket, sliding it over his shoulders, but before he could throw the jacket in a corner, Teddy pulled away. “Uh-uh. Let me take care of that.” He plucked it from Adam’s hands and laid it neatly over a nearby folded chair.
“Are you going to be that particular with the rest of your clothes or do you just want me to get you naked?”
Teddy almost hesitated. Almost. “Can’t we do both?”
Adam’s low chuckle sent a thrill through him. “How about if we watch each other undress.”
Teddy couldn’t argue with that. “Sounds like a plan.” He glanced up at the industrial-looking fluorescent light that hung from the ceiling. “I just wish the lighting was more flattering.”
“Are you worried about what I’ll see?”
Yes, maybe he was. He wasn't much older than Adam, but he wasn't as built or, obviously, not as in shape as the other man. He had a slender build, and he wasn't lacking downstairs, but still…
“How about if I keep you distracted enough that you don’t have to worry about it.”
Yes, lover, that’s what I needed to hear. Teddy gave him a bright smile. “I like the sound of that.”
“Now get undressed.”
Oh, the man could be bossy too. Teddy bit his bottom lip as he watched Adam slowly unbutton his dress shirt, making it more of a show. Teddy’s cock twitched in his pants, which reminded him that he should also be getting undressed, not just gawking. But Adam was a sight to behold as his chest became slowly revealed, the shirt gaping open more and more with each unfastened button.
Holy hell.
Chapter 3
Teddy swallowed hard, his hands frozen at the top button of his shirt. If there was an ounce of fat on Adam, he would be surprised. The former Marine looked as ripped as any of the rest of the Bryson sons. And tanned. The golden hue of his skin became apparent when Adam slipped out of his shirt and tossed it haphazardly to the side.
The man had a Semper Fi tattoo over his heart and, yes, it was the exact replica of the one all of the Bryson males sported. And Teddy couldn’t wait to run his tongue over it. Adam’s light blue eyes met his and held.
Without breaking their gaze, Teddy scrambled to remove his shirt, hoping he wouldn't pop a button. He tugged the shirt out of his waistband, and before he could remove it, Adam stepped closer and slipped his hands underneath the shoulders of the shirt and along his skin to slide the shirt off him. Adam’s fingers traced down his arms, across his chest, and he traced both of Teddy’s nipples, which were as hard as his cock.
All the breath rushed out of Teddy as Adam continued his exploration over his light chest hairs and traced the line of blond hair over his belly to the top of his pants.
Teddy waited with bated breath as Adam slid his fingers over Teddy’s belt buckle, but made no move to unfasten it.
“You had no reason to worry about the harsh lighting.” Adam’s voice was low and held a bit of tension.
“Should I take that as a compliment?” Teddy asked, his voice cracking a little.
“Yes.” Adam leaned closer, snagging Teddy’s bottom lip between his teeth.
Teddy groaned at the sharp pull and reached out blindly until he felt warm, hard flesh under his fingertips. He traced his way along Adam’s distinct six-pack, over his ribs, and up until he found the man’s small, firm nipples. He brushed his thumbs back and forth over the tips until Adam made a sound at the back of his throat and released Teddy’s bottom lip only to take his whole mouth instead.
The kiss was fierce and raw as it stole Teddy’s breath. He couldn’t get close enough to this man. He gripped Adam’s face between his palms and tried to pull him nearer. Impossible. Their tongues tangled and their groans merged into one. Adam slipped his hand lower and found the bulge in Teddy’s pants.
Adam pulled away slightly, just enough to say, “I’m impressed.”
Before Teddy could answer, Adam took his mouth again, just as hard. This time it was Teddy who pulled away. Well, more like pushed. Then fell to his knees. Adam's hands automatically went to his belt buckle, unfastening the metal clasp as well as his pants. When they were loose around his hips, he shoved them down just enough for Teddy to get an eyeful. Oh boy, was it quite an eyeful too.
Adam wasn’t the only one impressed. If the rest of the Bryson bucks were as hung as this one, he gave props to their women. Two snaps and a clap. He pushed away his silliness and, instead, studied in all seriousness at what was offered.
Adam’s boxer briefs framed his hard length and soft sac. “You want them off?” came the husky question from above.
Teddy couldn’t tear his eyes away long enough to glance up. “No. Not yet.�
�� He licked his lips, and then without hesitation, wrapped them around the plump head. Teddy closed his eyes and savored the salty goodness of precum. Boy, had he missed this.
He cupped Adam’s balls in his hands, squeezing gently, playing along the soft pouch with his fingers. He circled the root of Adam’s cock with his other hand and with almost a synchronized groan between the two of them, Teddy lowered his head slowly, taking virtually the whole length.
And he thought he was rusty with flirting. Ha. It had been even longer since he’d had another man in his mouth. But it was like riding a bike, a skill that would never be forgotten once you learned.
Adam’s fingers entangled in his hair as the man guided his head up and down. Teddy swirled his tongue each time he came up, and he sucked hard every time he went down. Adam’s hands gripped his head harder, his body tensed, and when Teddy risked sneaking a peek, the man’s head was thrown back, his mouth open, as his breath puffed harshly from between his lips.
Yes, I still got it. If his mouth wasn’t full, he'd be smiling. But it was, and Teddy enjoyed giving the pleasure, as much as Adam appeared to enjoy receiving it.
Teddy tightened two fingers around the root of Adam’s cock, making a cock ring of sorts, and stroked the hard length with his tongue. Up over the darker crown, down along the thick vein, across the soft velvet skin of his sac. He sucked one and then the other of Adam’s balls into his mouth until he heard Adam cry out for him to stop.
Within seconds, Teddy released him and sat back on his heels, looking up Adam’s body. Adam stared down at him, his face lax, his eyes hooded, his nostrils flaring slightly.
“I want you to complete me, but not this time.”
Not this time… The words echoed through Teddy’s brain. Not this time might mean there would be a next time. He gave Adam a smile. “Whatever you want, lover.”
“Whatever I want? Really? Or are you just saying that?”
Teddy hesitated, wondering if offering himself up on a platter, no-holds-barred was smart. He had been burned before. Adam looked like a Bryson, acted like a Bryson, and Teddy did trust the Brysons. But he didn’t know this one well enough.
Well, you only live once, right?
Right. “Whatever and however you want me, lover,” Teddy repeated.
Adam offered him a hand, and Teddy accepted it, letting the younger man help him to his feet. When they were eye to eye, Adam took their clasped hands and placed it on his cock. “I want to give you this.”
Teddy wanted it as well. All of it. But he understood what Adam meant. Teddy would be the bottom. He chewed on his lip for a second, considering his options. He could bottom for Adam or—
What the hell. There wasn’t any “or.” He would definitely bottom for Adam. He’d been waiting most of his life for a Bryson, and he had one practically naked in front of him. There was no doubt he would bottom, top, or hell, fuck sideways or even upside down to fulfill his long-time fantasy.
And, if Adam landed a job at the police department, he may even end up with a partner, a long-term lover.
“You don’t bottom?” Adam asked, slowly moving Teddy’s hand up and down his shaft.
“I…” Teddy swallowed hard. He finally confessed, “I haven’t in a while.”
“You’re a switch or a top?”
“I’ll do the first, but I prefer the second. However—” Teddy squeezed Adam’s hard-on within his fingers. “I’m willing to be your bottom right now.”
A slow smile curved Adam’s lips. “I like that you’re flexible.”
Teddy had a feeling Adam only topped. This would be something they’d have to work out if they saw each other again. Which he hoped they did.
Adam’s gaze flicked to the chaise. “Finish getting undressed. I want to explore you more.”
Teddy wasn’t going to argue that. With fumbling hands, he unbuckled his belt and slipped out of his pants, kicking off his dress shoes as he went. He rolled off his socks and tucked them into his shoes before standing up straight. Adam watched him while he finished taking off his own pants, shoes, and socks.
Finally, when both were completely naked, they faced each other barely two feet apart. Adam’s body was a work of art, a sculpture of flesh and bone, skin and muscle. The lighting wasn’t ideal in the small room, but it didn’t take anything away from his masculine beauty.
Teddy studied the man. The hard curves, the planes, the play of muscle beneath his skin. The smattering of hair on the man’s chest. The neatly trimmed patch surrounding his hard length and heavy balls. Light hair dusted his legs, and his thighs appeared strong, his calves lean.
With amusement in his eyes, Adam asked, “Do you want me to turn around?”
Well, since he offered… “Yes, please,” Teddy exclaimed, almost wiggling like a puppy waiting for a treat.
Adam did so with a grin. Teddy continued his visual exploration of Adam’s broad shoulders, the line of his spine, the two sexy indentations above the man’s ass. His buttocks were round, firm, and looked completely edible. For a moment, he regretted agreeing to bottom. He could imagine spreading those cheeks wide and sinking deep between them; he envisioned his cock being squeezed within Adam’s tight canal. He could picture himself thrusting hard and deep, reaching around to stroke the man’s cock until he—
“I can’t take anymore,” Adam groaned, glancing at Teddy over his shoulder. Though not meant as an actual pose, Teddy regarded it as such. The way the man’s strong jawline paralleled his shoulder, the light played along his cheek, his neck, his shoulder blades. Teddy wanted to remember that picture of perfection forever.
He pinched himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. The sharp pain proved he wasn’t, but he still couldn’t believe that he was here, with this man, in this room, about to enjoy pleasure he hadn’t had in a long time.
“And here I am, ready to take it all, lover,” Teddy murmured as he watched Adam close in.
“Good. I’m ready to give it all to you.” Adam pressed his mouth to Teddy’s, his tongue playing along his parted lip. “I’m glad I stopped you from smoking. You taste good.”
“I’ll quit,” Teddy said quickly, not wanting to think about anything but Adam’s fingers brushing up and down his ribs, stroking his lower belly, creeping lower. Teddy hissed, “Yes,” as Adam fisted his cock, squeezing and pumping. Teddy gasped, closing his eyes. It was so much better when it wasn’t his own hand.
Oh, Jesus, he didn’t want to embarrass himself. It wouldn’t take much for Teddy to orgasm, and he didn’t want to cut this short. They only had a small window of opportunity, and he wanted to take advantage of every minute, every second. Eventually, people might realize they disappeared and start to wonder. Maybe even start searching.
“Lover…”
“Hmm?” Adam murmured, as he kissed down Teddy’s neck and over a shoulder, not breaking the rhythm of his strokes on Teddy’s cock.
“I…uh… Oh, that’s…gooood.” Teddy’s eyes flicked to the plastic bag Adam had brought into the room with him. “We…uh…”
Adam lifted his head and Teddy wanted to pout with the sudden loss of the other man’s lips along his heated skin. But it was time to get horizontal.
“Let’s get comfortable,” Teddy suggested, waving a hand in the direction of the chaise lounge.
Adam smiled, his face slightly flushed, his hand still attached to Teddy’s cock like it was a well-pump handle. With one last squeeze, he let go and snagged the supplies from the floor where he’d dropped them.
“Whatcha got?” Teddy asked as he went over to the chaise to sit on the edge, doing his best to appear relaxed. Though, he was still nervous about being on the receiving end, especially because of Adam’s size, as well as Teddy’s lack of recent sexual endeavors.
“The basics,” Adam answered, digging into the shopping bag. He pulled out a bottle of lube and a strip of condoms.
Although Teddy should have been glad to see at least that much, he felt a twinge of disappointment. “That
it?”
Adam’s brows lifted in surprise. “What else do you think I’d carry in my glovebox? Rope, blindfolds, cock rings?”
Teddy sighed at his own ridiculous expectations. “No. I’m being silly. But we could experiment some other time.” Teddy fought to keep his comment from being a question.
“Yeah, another time,” Adam answered.
Teddy wanted to squeal in joy and clap, instead he just shot Adam a demure smile. "I have all sorts of fantasies, if you like to play. But right now, right here, I just want you, lover."
“I want you too,” Adam whispered and carried the items over to the chaise.
Adam’s words made Teddy’s heart flippity-flop and his cock twitch. “You’re too far away,” he complained, holding out a hand to Adam, who took it and allowed Teddy to pull him closer. Teddy patted the chaise and batted his eyelashes. “Join me.”
Adam chuckled but lowered his weight to the chaise. “Do you think we should throw something over it first?”
Teddy laughed too, running his hand over the cool, smooth leather. "We can wipe it down afterward."
“Good point,” he said, then leaned in to press a kiss on Teddy’s shoulder. “Has it been a while for you?”
Teddy nodded. “Yes.”
“I can’t say I’m disappointed, but we can take it slow if you’d like.”
“I would love that… If we had more time.”
“I don’t want to rush,” Adam said, clearly disappointed.
Teddy brushed a knuckle over the younger man’s check. “Me neither. But—”
"Speaking of butts…" Adam suddenly shoved him down on the chaise and quickly straddled his waist. His cock laid heavy and hot along Teddy’s belly.
Teddy’s anus clenched at the thought Adam would soon be inside him.
“That’s an interesting tattoo,” Adam said, running a finger over the permanent pair of scissors that decorated Teddy’s hip.
