After The Snap

by Peyton Miller

Seth sunk into the passenger seat and strapped in. Colby didn’t take much time to start driving, heading away from the restaurant where Seth had been dropped off. He drew in a slow breath, letting his gaze rake over Colby. The guy was freaking sexy and there wasn’t any way he’d sat there for hours without being picked up. “Already had sex tonight?”

  “No, I was…um…waiting I guess.”

  “For me?” Seth teased.

  Colby glanced at him as he slowed for a light. “Perhaps. Maybe I was waiting for someone interesting enough to get off that stool.”

  Seth smiled and pulled his cap lower. He didn’t think this guy had any idea who he was, but he sure as hell wasn’t going to chance having someone else see him and figure out he was in the car with some dude he’d just met, ready to do some kinky sex stuff just to get off.

  They pulled into the parking lot of a fairly nice Marriott and Colby cut the engine. “Believe it or not, I’ve never done this before—you know, picked up a stranger at a bar.”

  “Really?” Seth asked.

  “No, never.”

  “You still okay with this?” Seth didn’t want to force the guy into doing anything he wasn’t comfortable with, but he would be disappointed if he was sent packing without having some fun.

  “Heck yes I want to do this, I just don’t know how to get up to my room with you. I mean, you’re not registered here as a guest.”

  “No one will say a thing,” Seth said.

  “You do this much?” The light in the parking lot illuminated Colby’s face, revealing disappointment.

  Seth reached out and touched Colby’s leg, smoothing his hand from mid thigh to his knee. “Actually, this is embarrassing.”

  Colby lifted his brows. “You do this all the time?”

  “No, I’ve—” Seth laughed as he squeezed Colby’s leg. “I’ve only ever had sex with one other guy. There was this girl a long time ago, but it wasn’t…hell, we were in high school and well, it was awkward to say the least.”

  “Oh.” Colby covered Seth’s hand with his. “I’ve only really been with a couple of guys and I’ve never picked anyone up like this. I already said that, didn’t I?”

  “I’m nervous too. How about we just get out of the car and walk into the lobby then go up the elevator?”

  “Okay.” Colby nodded.

  “What floor are you on?” Seth asked.

  “Four.”

  “Okay, we’ll get out of the car, is there anything you need to grab?”

  Colby looked over his shoulder and then met Seth’s gaze. “Um, a bag of condoms.”

  Seth laughed. “You were either hopeful or confident.”

  “Neither, just always prepared.”

  “I like that. I only have two condoms on me.”

  Colby’s eyes widened. “Do you think we’ll use more than two.”

  Seth popped open his door and stepped out, Colby did too after reaching in the back for the bag of condoms. They both looked at each other and smiled.

  “I sure as heck hope we use more than two.” This time it was obvious Colby’s cheeks had turned pink. “Come on, let’s head inside and act normal.” Seth pulled his cap lower and walked in front of Colby, stepping inside, acknowledging the desk worker with a nod. He didn’t look back at Colby once as he headed to the left, following the sign that pointed out the elevators. He pressed the button to call the elevator and stared up at the indicator, acting like heading into a hotel with a total stranger to have sex was nothing big.

  The elevator doors opened and they both stepped in. Colby pressed the button for four, and Seth pressed the button for five. They didn’t say a word or touch as the elevator rose. He worried that he was making a big mistake. Colby couldn’t overpower him, but he could easily overpower Colby, not that he would.

  Memories of the first time he’d had sex with his ex came back. He’d been so very young then, maybe not in years, but in maturity. It was hard to believe that it had only been a year ago that he’d first been with Channing. His broken heart squeezed. Could he actually do this with someone other than Channing?

  The elevator doors opened and he glanced to Colby. The guy was sexy, that was for sure. Smaller than he, the man was tight, compact with some muscles under his button down shirt. He’d felt them when they’d been close, and he’d felt them on Colby’s legs when Seth had touched him in the car.

  Colby glanced up, his gaze full of warmth. Seth wasn’t making a mistake at all. Maybe they’d fuck once and be done, maybe they would spend the night in each other’s arms, or maybe they’d kiss and they wouldn’t feel it and he’d head home.

  Having only Channing as experience left him a little afraid. What if he wasn’t really into guys, just Channing? He thought about the excitement he’d felt when Colby had brought over a beer for him and knew there was something between them, but what?

  Colby stopped at room four fifteen and held the card in his hand for a second before sliding it into the reader. Colby glanced over his shoulder, uncertainty shining in his eyes. Seth checked down the hall, making sure they were alone before entering behind Colby.

  If this were he and Channing, he’d be tugging at his clothes, trying to strip fast enough to please his ex, but this guy looked worried, and he didn’t want to scare him. Once the door was closed, both of them in the room together, Seth leaned against the door, crossing his arms over his chest.

  Colby stepped into the room and flipped on a lamp before going to the window to close the curtains. They were on opposite sides of the room, Seth staring at Colby and Colby looking back at him. His heart was filled with something more than just lust. Being here, alone with this stranger, felt better than being with Channing ever had. He stepped deeper into the room, stopping when he came even with the edge of the bed. A white blanket covered the king sized bed and six pillows lined the top. It looked comfortable, and he would have fun making sure they both got what they wanted. Seth turned to face Colby, lust pumping hot.

  “Come here,” Seth said.

  Colby swallowed and stepped closer, sinking his teeth into his lower lip. His arms were crossed over his chest and he looked unsure, but under his uncertainty, lust appeared to burn hot. Seth reached out and smoothed one finger over the front of Colby’s shirt. He popped one button, then another, excitement zinging through him.

  “Mmm, so sexy,” Seth groaned.

  Colby lowered his arms and Seth finished unbuttoning the shirt, pushing it over Colby’s shoulders, letting it drop to the floor. He ran his palm over the undershirt covering the flat planes of Colby’s chest, before brushing over his nipples.

  “God, you’d be so freaking sexy in shorts or cutoffs, white T-shirt on, while you washed a car, the water from the hose soaking you. I bet your skin would show through so beautifully.” Seth rasped his thumbs over Colby’s nipples loving the way Colby opened his mouth and threw his head back, his eyes rolling up into his head.

  Seth tugged at Colby’s undershirt, pulling it over his head. He stared down at Colby’s beautiful torso, knowing that he wanted to lick every inch of his chest. He stepped closer and cupped Colby’s cheeks, tilting his head back. A surge of lust and power filled him as he lowered his lips, brushing gently over Colby’s mouth. Colby opened and Seth slipped his tongue between Colby’s lips, dipping in for his first taste of the guy. They both moaned, the vibrations filling him. He wanted to push Colby up against the wall, strip him and sink in, taking his pleasure.

  The kiss ended but he didn’t pull away, instead a memory teased him, pulling at the back of his mind. He realized that he was the dominate one of the two, the one who had the power and it scared him that he wanted to take advantage of having the upper hand, to possess instead of treasure. But that wasn’t what he really wanted, not deep down. He wanted something more equal with this man, sharing power instead of one of them being in the dark and forced to comply. No, he wanted balance.

  Channing had lorded over him in the beginning and it wasn’t until Seth signed with a pro team
had Channing showed him any respect. He didn’t want that, even with this sexy stranger who had no clue who he was or what he did for a living. Seth stepped back, and smiled when Colby complained.

  “More, don’t go.” Colby’s fingers twisted in Seth’s shirt as he tugged him close again.

  “Just a second, I want this gone.” Seth tugged off his T-shirt, tossing it to the bed.

  Colby gasped, “Oh my God, you’re cut. Holy shit, you could be a model.”

  Seth chuckled, a little embarrassed by the attention. Colby reached out, his hand shaking as he smoothed one finger over Seth’s pec and down his ribs.

  “You must work out every day. Of course you do, you don’t get muscles like that with occasional trips to the gym.”

  For a moment he worried that Colby would start questioning what he did or how he got the muscles, instead Colby stepped closer, wrapping his arms around Seth’s waist and kissing the center of his chest. He glanced up and smiled.

  “You’re the sexy one.”

  “Not to me,” Seth replied. “I want to hold you close and kiss every inch of your body.”

  Colby shivered again and Seth bent for another kiss. This one he took his time on and paid attention to Colby, not the haunted feelings from his past. Their tongues twisted together slowly as he cupped the back of Colby’s head. He’d gone out tonight for a fast fuck, but he didn’t know if he could do that with this guy. Slow and languid was the only way to take Colby. Maybe he couldn’t just fuck a guy and leave, or maybe Colby was too special to do that with, he didn’t know, but he needed to show Colby something different than just fucking.

  Colby placed his hands on Seth’s waist and tugged him close, brushing his body up against Seth’s. He ripped his mouth away from Colby’s and gasped as they ground together. The need to have flesh rubbing against flesh overwhelmed him and he tugged at Colby’s belt, pulling it open. He stepped back and stared down at Colby’s puffy lips, his hooded eyes, and the expanse of healthy skin. He shivered, knowing that something was changing inside and he didn’t want to stop it.

  “Fuck, Colby, you feel amazing in my arms.” He sucked in a breath, his chest rising as he reached for the button on Colby’s slacks. They both jumped a little as his fingers grazed over the strip of skin above his waistband.

  Capturing Colby’s lips in another kiss, Seth angled his head, taking this kiss deep, turning it hot with tongues twining, lips mashing. He unzipped Colby’s slacks, letting them drop to the ground. Seth ran his hands over Colby’s underwear and shivered. The guy was wearing boxer briefs, only the sexiest type of underwear ever made.

  Colby was tugging at Seth’s jeans but not getting far. Seth stepped back amid Colby’s complaints and kicked off his shoes, then shoved his jeans low. They both eyed each other and Colby hooked his thumbs under his own underwear and flicked the waistband down, pulling the material from his body. Seth dropped to his knees, his hands on Colby’s hips, steadying him. He stuck out his tongue and licked the tip of Colby’s cock before glancing up, catching Colby’s gaze.

  He kept his eyes up as he opened his mouth and sucked down on Colby. For the first slide of Seth’s lips down Colby, their gazes stayed connected. Colby’s mouth was open and then he sunk his teeth into his lower lip and groaned. When Seth pulled off and swirled his tongue around the tip, Colby threw back his head and gasped.

  “Fuck, that’s good,” Colby groaned.

  Seth smiled around Colby’s cock and went down again before he backed off, swirling his tongue, then dipping the tip into the slit, loving that a little bit of precum had leaked out. Colby grabbed onto Seth’s head holding him still and began pumping into Seth’s mouth. He stared up at the man, watching as lust took over Colby’s features as he fucked his face.

  Seth felt Colby’s cock swell before he pulled out and sank to his knees, his lips on Seth’s like he was the last drop of water in an arid wasteland. Colby ended the kiss, his gaze fierce.

  “Fuck, that felt so good.”

  They were both kneeling on the floor, Seth wondering what the hell was going on with his emotions as he loved on Colby. Maybe the way he felt meant nothing because he’d felt similar things with Channing. He could be defective, unable to separate lust from deeper feelings, or maybe he hadn’t really felt anything other than lust for Channing. Either way, kneeling on the ground with Colby in his arms felt better than being with Channing ever had.

  “Get on the bed, I want to suck you,” Colby said.

  It had taken begging and pleading to get Channing to suck him, and Colby was demanding that he open up for being blown. It kind of freaked him out, leaving him unable to process his own thoughts.

  He moved to the bed, pushing the blankets off before stretching out in the center, shoving a pillow under his head. Colby started at Seth’s knees, kissing and licking, gently sinking his teeth in, then tease-biting him before licking over the spot. Colby toyed with his hips, licking and nipping before sucking on him. He was being driven crazy, more crazy than he’d ever been with Channing, and they hadn’t even gotten to the good stuff.

  Then Colby sucked down on him and he cried out, the feeling so good he wanted it to never end. Colby continued to torture him, sucking hard and swirling his tongue. When Colby slid his finger over Seth’s sensitive skin under his balls, he sat up, and pushed Colby off.

  “Fuck, I’m gonna come if you keep this up.”

  “So you liked that?” Colby lowered his head, looking at Seth through thick eyelashes.

  Seth shivered, his body quaking with need, before he pressed Colby to the mattress and stretched out over him. They were sprawled across the king sized bed, his feet dangling off the edge. It was heaven to be pressed against Colby. Their lips met and their hands explored, touching as they tasted each other.

  He slid his hand down Colby’s chest to his hip, letting it glide around to Colby’s ass. The firm little globe fit perfectly in his hand and he pulled Colby close, bucking his hips against the man. Their tongues twisted together as they explored, Colby smoothing his fingers over Seth’s chest and arms.

  Seth pulled back, looking down at Colby. His heart expanded as he stared into Colby’s eyes. This was more than just a quick fuck, but he couldn’t classify it since he had no real experience. He grabbed a condom from the box that Colby had set on the nightstand and rolled it on. Lube was next as Colby adjusted, pulling back his knees, opening for Seth.

  The sight was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen and he didn’t take his eyes off Colby as he slid in, sinking into his hot tight hole. Seth slowed as Colby stiffened under him. He paused and lowered, dropping a kiss on Colby’s lips.

  “You okay?” Seth asked.

  “Yeah, you’re just big. I haven’t…Ah, I’m tight.”

  “You are, and you feel good. Breathe and I’ll go slow.”

  Colby nodded and gave him a tight smile. “Ugh, so big.”

  Seth started to pull out and Colby grasped on to him, holding him in place. “Don’t stop.”

  “Are you sure?” Seth asked.

  “Yeah, just slow.”

  Seth put his weight on one arm and with his other hand he pinched Colby’s nipple. Colby arched and pressed up, opening more. Seth rocked in deeper, then pulled out a bit before pressing in more.

  Colby shivered, his lips pulled back as he gritted his teeth. Then he opened his mouth and cried out, his fingers clawing at Seth.

  “Oh God, so…”

  Seth slid out an inch, then pressed in, hitting the same spot as before. Colby cried out again, his fingers squeezing Seth’s hip more. Colby opened his eyes and caught Seth’s gaze. He slowed his hip action, rocking in gently before pulling out. The intensity was off the charts as they fucked. But at some point between the bar and here this no longer felt like fucking. This was soul deep with gut churning emotions, not just getting off for fun. How could he have any feelings for this complete stranger?

  Colby pulled him down for a kiss, their lips meshing together as he rocked i
n gently. Then Colby ripped his mouth away from Seth and groaned.

  “Oh God, fuck. Seth, Seth,” Colby cried out, his body jerking under Seth.

  The pulsing of Colby’s channel set him off. He came, the condom filling with his spunk. Colby was gasping, and he was too. Both of their bodies were drenched in sweat and he’d never felt this good. Seth pulled out, trying to go slow to ease the sting, but Colby still flinched on his exit.

  Seth stretched out on the bed beside Colby, smoothing fingers over sweat slicked skin. This felt too much like how the afterglow with Channing felt. Sex with Colby was supposed to be sex, but it had been way more intimate than two strangers bumping uglies in the night. He dropped the condom to the floor and rolled to his back. Colby turned to face him, running his hand over Seth’s shoulder then down to his hips. They stared at each other, neither speaking. Then Colby leaned in, pausing before closing the distance. His lips were gentle against Seth’s as he snuggled closer, his hands smoothing over Seth’s skin. After a few minutes of just kissing, Colby began rocking his hips. The gentle kisses turned heated as snuggling turned to groping. Colby cupped Seth’s balls, rolling them between his fingers.

  Seth didn’t care that he needed sleep, or that his practice schedule would be tough the next day, all he wanted was to feel Colby, to taste him and experience heaven again with the man.

  He ended the kiss and reached for a condom, handing it to Colby. They didn’t need to speak for Colby to understand. They were both already hard, both ready for another round. Colby rolled on the condom and pushed Seth to his stomach, placing one leg between Seth’s. He teased Seth’s pucker with a lubed finger before lining up.

  Colby lowered, his lips on Seth’s back as he held himself above, not pressing in. “Have you ever bottomed before?”

  The question surprised him. He twisted and stared into Colby’s gaze, wondering how many guys allowed Colby to top them. Since he’d only been with Channing, the stark differences in his ex and Colby had him filled with uncertainties. He bit down on his lower lip and pushed his hips back, increasing the pressure from Colby’s dick.
