“Get in,” Nico said, nodding toward the shower. “I’ll give you a second to breathe.”
Easton pushed his underwear down his hips. There was no hiding the fact that he wanted Nico, especially once he peeled off his shirt, leaving himself completely exposed. Easton tried to move slow to hide his nervousness. He stepped inside the shower and immediately ducked beneath the water to hide his hot cheeks. Jesus. He didn’t know what was wrong with him. Easton didn’t used to be this way. Being shy and skittish wasn’t his nature. If anything, he’d been efficient—gotten the job done with minimal fuss. Easton let that sink in. In truth, he’d probably been a bit bland in bed. Before Nico, he hadn’t cared if things were boring. Now Easton wished he was the opposite of everything he’d always been.
The shower door opened, and Nico stepped in. Those smoking hot photos he’d dropped on Easton last night now came to life. Easton couldn’t tear his eyes away. Nico was very... manly. In every way.
Without thought, Easton reached for Nico. Their bodies collided. Easton’s knees nearly buckled when Nico’s cock hit him in the stomach. He was too turned on to panic. The rain shower above them made it hard for Easton to meet Nico’s stare without drowning. That left one direction to look. Easton couldn’t stare directly at Nico’s dick and not touch it. At least, that was what he told himself as his fingers closed around the gigantic cock between them. Easton had an overwhelming urge to put it in his mouth. He couldn’t explain it. The roof of his mouth itched with anticipation. He was forced to swallow all the saliva filling his mouth. Easton knew he couldn’t just stand there, holding it all day. Nico wasn’t moving or saying a word. Easton stood there, holding the guy’s dick and staring down at it while trying to decide if he had the nerve to lick it.
“This is... argh.” Whatever Nico intended to say ended in a jumbled cry as Easton found his courage, bent, and jumped in with both feet. He took Nico to the back of his throat without preamble. It was too late to turn back now. Nico tasted every bit as satisfying as Easton suspected he would. Salty pre-cum filled his mouth. Easton hummed in delight. A strangled sound came from Nico. Easton was disconnected from everything except what he wanted. In a detached way, he knew Nico touched everywhere he could reach. Easton’s entire being was focused on his feast. He licked and sucked. If anyone had ever tasted so good, Easton couldn’t recall a time. He wanted more of the salt. He sucked harder, determined to have it. The sounds coming from Nico got louder. Easton knew he was close to getting what he sought. His anticipation grew by the second along with his lust. Easton ignored everything but the dick in his mouth. He used both hands and his throat to chase the cum he needed. Nico stiffened. A flood of hot cum filled Easton’s mouth. A happy hum escaped him as he licked it away. He chased every drop, wiggling his tongue all over Nico’s cock until Nico begged for mercy. Nico urged him upright and tucked Easton against his chest. He could hear Nico’s ragged breathing and racing heart. Easton smiled at the sound. For the first time in a long time, he was at peace.
Before his head left the clouds, Nico swept him off his feet and set him on the bench built into the wall. With one hand lightly holding Easton’s jaw, Nico kept Easton’s gaze locked on him as his other hand massaged Easton’s erection. Easton knew it wouldn’t take much. Sucking Nico’s dick had brought him to the edge. Pressure already beat at his crown. Nico’s intense stare had Easton clinging to the edge of the bench to stay grounded. He’d never seen so much passion directed at him. They hadn’t kissed. The moment seemed more powerful because kisses were missing. They were focused on each other’s pleasure. Not their own. Easton barely blinked. The determination in Nico’s stare was arresting. He wanted Easton’s orgasm every bit as much as Easton had wanted his. Easton pressed his back against the wall and fought to reach explosion. He was so close. Nico’s motions quickened. Easton sucked air, fighting to breathe as he reached the cliff. A cry tore from his throat. The orgasm rocked him to his core as it hit. Nico never once looked away. He kept pumping until Easton almost begged him to stop. Then, Nico moved closer. He towed Easton’s hips forward until he had no choice but to wrap his legs around Nico’s hips. Their bodies touched in the most intimate way. It took Easton’s already ragged breath.
“See how brave you are?”
A tired-sounding chuckle escaped Easton. Bravery had nothing to do with it. “See how hot you make me?”
A smile exploded across Nico’s face. “I’m seeing a lot of things—like how we were meant to meet.”
Yeah. Easton saw that too. It was beautiful.
Five
Nico: Knuddelbärchen.
Easton: Yes?
Nico: I miss you.
Easton: I miss you too.
Nico: Good. I will fix it.
Easton: Jake comes home tonight. I’m ready to see his face.
Nico: Then I will let you visit with your much-missed baby brother.
Easton: I miss you too, though.
Nico: Come to me afterward. I will fix it.
Easton: Okay.
Even though Nico knew he was taking a huge risk, he still pulled into the first open parking spot he saw at the bookstore connected to Easton’s Bakery. Some things were too important to hide due to fear. There was every probability that Nico would cross the threshold of Baby Boy’s Books and Jake or Flynn would know exactly who he was. There was no risk Nico wasn’t willing to take for Easton.
As he cleared the door, Nico spotted a skinny, tall guy with dark blond hair. He was the only person working, so Nico headed his way. The man’s chin lifted. The eyes that focused on Nico were Easton’s eyes. They were such an exact match that Nico nearly missed a step. There wasn’t a single other thing about the guy that looked like Easton, but there could be no doubt. This was Easton’s brother.
Nico pasted on his friendliest smile. “Are you Jake?”
Jake nodded.
With his hand outstretched, Nico moved closer. “My name is Nico. I’m dating Easton.”
Jake was reaching for Nico’s hand when he hesitated. His eyebrows damn near hit his hairline. “Seriously?”
Nico’s smile slipped. “Why the disbelief?”
With a shake of his head, Jake chuckled and accepted Nico’s handshake. “Sorry. You’re very different from anyone Easton’s dated in the past.”
“I’ll take your compliment,” Nico said with a chuckle.
Jake smiled. “Then I already like you better than anyone he’s dated. He’s not working today.”
Nico nodded. “I know. That’s why I came by. His birthday is tomorrow, and I need your help to pull off a surprise.”
Mischief flashed in Jake’s eyes and the resemblance grew between the brothers. “In that case, whatever you need, I’m in.”
“Good.” Nico needed an ally. He planned to make Easton’s birthday a day he wouldn’t soon forget. Nico needed all the help he could get to sneak under Easton’s radar. He fully intended to spoil the man who lived beneath Nico’s skin. He had a feeling the opportunities where Easton allowed Nico to give him everything would be few and far between. This was one time Nico intended to demand acquiescence. Easton’s birthday would be special if it killed him. When the day came that Easton learned the truth about him and booted Nico from his life, Nico wanted Easton to have nothing but happy memories with him. Even if it cost Nico his heart. “He’ll probably be angry.”
“Great,” Jake chirped, as if he relished the thought of someone pulling Easton from his comfort zone. Nico knew then he’d come to the right place.
Even though Easton was taking more days off since he’d started dating Nico, he still worked more than any normal person should. He’d been up since three, making a variety of baked goods. Flynn and Jake were back, but he was still alone in a too silent house since they both had left early for the bookstore. Easton had been fighting the urge to call Nico since two minutes after he’d woken up to an empty bed. He was tired and cranky. Everything sucked and even Easton didn’t know why. He missed his giant too-rough-ar
ound-the-edges angel and nothing would be right again until he saw Nico again. It was ridiculous how dependent he’d become on Nico’s overwhelming presence. He was a grown man who should be able to eat, bathe, and sleep without being told when and where to do those things. Yet everything felt wrong without Nico. Easton wanted to growl at his own childishness. In the past year, he’d worked so hard at becoming independent. He was, Easton reminded himself. Yet, he didn’t necessarily want to be. It was a conundrum he was still learning to deal with.
The unmistakable growl of a Harley brought Easton’s head up. He listened for half a beat before racing for the door. Once there, he straightened his clothes and tried to act like he hadn’t just sprinted through the house like a complete lunatic. Fuck, he had it bad. Easton forced himself to wait to open the door until after the doorbell rang. In fact, he counted to ten so Nico wouldn’t know he’d been impatiently waiting on the other side. The welcoming smile stretching his lips widened at the first sight of Nico. Goddamn, he was hot. His jeans fit just right in all the perfect places while his sleeveless shirt showed off his massive arms and tattoos. Easton’s mouth watered. He’d never felt more shameless.
A heated glance swept down Easton’s body, making him tingle. “There he is,” Nico said, before tackling Easton and tossing him over his shoulder. A loud burst of laughter exploded from Easton. Nico kicked the front door closed behind him as he headed for the recliner. Easton tried to protest the manhandling, but he couldn’t stop laughing. Not to mention he could barely breathe with Nico’s gigantic shoulder in his stomach.
Nico let Easton’s body slide down his as he reached the chair. Easton’s arms automatically encircled Nico’s neck. With his feet still hanging more than a foot from the floor, Nico captured Easton’s mouth. Nico sat. Easton happily straddled Nico’s body while their tongues played. Happiness lived in Nico’s arms. His fingers found Nico’s soft hair. He toyed with the locks while sucking the man’s bottom lip.
Nico kissed a path to Easton’s ear, then on to his neck. His fingers found the leg of Easton’s shorts and slipped inside. “I’ve never seen you this dressed down. It’s hot.”
Easton tilted his head, giving Nico all the access to his throat. It was true. He’d found a pair of cutoff sweats and an old t-shirt when he’d gotten up. Several times he’d thought to change but never made it back to the bedroom. Now Easton was glad he hadn’t. “If I’d known how little effort it took to make you this hot, I would’ve been a little lazier sooner.”
Nico chuckled against his skin. “To be fair, you’re always sexy. This is just a new side of you to me.” He leaned away and met Easton’s stare. “Did you sleep?”
Easton’s gaze slid away. “A little.”
“Not good enough. What have you been doing this morning?”
“Nothing.” Easton dragged the word out, trying his best to sound innocent.
“Knuddelbärchen, what have you been doing this morning? Don’t forget I can smell.”
Easton chuckled. Even to his ears, it sounded nervous. “It’s just cinnamon rolls.”
“And?”
“A cake,” Easton admitted.
“And?”
Easton chewed his bottom lip. “Scones.”
“Anything else?”
His shoulders fell. “Does it matter?”
Nico was the naughtiest version of sweet that Easton had ever seen. He eyed Easton, looking like an understanding parent. “Baby, I know you love what you do. You’re amazing, but between not sleeping, keeping the bakery open sixteen hours a day, and spending your days off cooking, you’ll be burned out within a year. What happens then?”
Easton hadn’t really thought about it. He’d just been keeping his hands busy, trying hard not to backslide into the person he used to be. “I don’t know how to stop. No one but Jake really believed I could be a success. If I slow down and fail... I don’t want that.”
“You’re not capable of failing and I don’t want you to change. Just breathe occasionally, okay?”
Easton nodded. No one worried about him. It was nice. “I’m breathing right now. The rest of the day is all about you.”
“It needs to be all about you,” Nico said, sounding grumbly and sexy.
“Grumbly bear,” Easton said, infusing as much affection as he felt in the words. “It’ll be all about us.”
“Good boy.” Easton’s mouth went dry at the praise. Nico was so much of everything no one else had ever been. The man’s intense stare had Easton ready to pant. “Reach in my pocket, Knuddelbärchen.”
Easton furrowed his brow and shuffled back a little. Even in his new position, he couldn’t get his hand in Nico’s jeans. Nico kicked out the footstool of the recliner, nearly toppling Easton and making him laugh. He rolled to one hip next to Nico and dipped his hand inside Nico’s pants. Easton half expected this to be some sort of sexual ploy, but his fingers collided with something. He tugged. A fine gold chain with a tiny teddy bear charm filled his palm. Easton stared down at it in silence. Nico took it from Easton and undid the clasp. He put it around Easton’s neck. It fell perfectly over his collarbone. Easton was speechless. It wasn’t that it was a massively expensive gift. That wasn’t what moved him. It was that it was the perfect gift.
Easton couldn’t look away from Nico as Nico brushed his fingertips down the line of the necklace. “There. You can think of your cranky bear every time you see it.”
“It’s beautiful.” Even to Easton’s ears, he sounded moved.
Nico’s hand lingered on Easton’s chest. “You make it that way.” Nico made him feel. Easton didn’t know the words to explain everything crowding his brain. Nico overwhelmed him, making Easton want to be worthy of the way Nico treated him. He’d never felt this way before. Easton would find a way to be worthy of him.
With Easton sleeping peacefully on Nico’s chest, Nico was in heaven. Easton’s every breath caressed his neck. His heartbeat kissed Nico’s chest. Nico’s eyes kept falling closed, even though he wasn’t the least bit tired. He was savoring every second. For over a year, he’d watched Easton. Easton was his secret. He was that one hidden longing no one knew about. A coveted dream Nico never expected would be his. Nico knew it wasn’t right for him to be in Easton’s life. He knew no one would understand. Maybe Easton was a sickness. Nico comforted himself with the knowledge that he would spoil Easton. He would never let him be scared or unhappy. Nico wouldn’t expect or ask for more than Easton could give. Maybe Nico was wrong, but Easton wouldn’t suffer for Nico’s insanity.
Easton shifted in his sleep. His hand slipped beneath Nico’s shirt. Nico pulled the covers higher in case Easton was cold. He went back to savoring every sensation of having Easton in his arms. Once Easton had a nap and was caught up on the sleep he’d missed last night, Nico would take him to dinner. Maybe they’d go for a ride down the ocean highway and get some fresh air. Easton shifted again. This time, his hand moved lower, coming to rest on Nico’s cock. Nico sucked in a breath. They still hadn’t made love. Nico was cool with that. He wouldn’t rush Easton after the hell he’d suffered. Damned if Easton didn’t keep him hard, though. He hadn’t stopped thinking about that shower blow job since it happened. Vanity aside, he’d spent a lot of time as a heavyweight champion and benefited sexually from that title way more than any man should. Even with having lived through all that, no one had ever blown him the way Easton had. It hadn’t been about Nico. Easton had licked and sucked Nico for his own pleasure and it had been the most mind-blowing experience in his life. His dick was hard thinking about it. Easton’s hand on it didn’t help.
Nico drew a deep breath through his nose and let it out slowly. He stared at the ceiling of Easton’s bedroom and tried to clear his mind. Warm lips brushed his throat. His eyes fell closed. Damn. He’d definitely have blue balls later. Easton shifted higher and kissed Nico’s neck again. He stifled a groan as his cock jumped. Easton popped the button on Nico’s jeans. His tongue tickled Nico’s skin. Nico was tap dancing on hope, trying
to squash it before it became an inferno. His zipper came down one tooth at a time. Nico ground his back teeth to a pulp. Easton pushed Nico’s jeans and underwear down one hip. Nico lifted, letting him have them. Easton took advantage and worked them down the other. Even still, Nico refused to get it in his head that this would go anywhere. He’d taken off his shirt before they’d gotten in bed. Easton took advantage of that too by slipping lower and scraping Nico’s nipple with his teeth. Nico stayed still, letting Easton do as much or as little as he wanted. He wouldn’t pressure Easton either way. But it was getting harder not to hope as his clothes disappeared and Easton shimmied out of his too.
When Easton’s fingertips brushed the length of Nico’s erection, he swallowed a moan. He was scared shitless if he made a single sound Easton would stop. Easton’s touch disappeared. Nico squeezed his eyes shut, fighting his body. His eyes flew open again when he heard plastic crinkle. Easton rolled a condom down Nico’s length. With his head bent over his task, Nico couldn’t see Easton’s expression. He dropped his head and closed his eyes again. Nico got the feeling Easton felt freer when Nico wasn’t watching. Easton’s mouth opened over Nico’s ribs, making him squirm. A soft chuckle vibrated against his skin. That one tiny sound made him hotter than all the touches that came before it. Easton kissed his way up Nico’s body, straddling his hips. Their lips met. Nico’s head automatically left the pillow trying to get closer. Easton placed light kisses at the corner of Nico’s mouth as he positioned Nico’s erection. Nico held his breath. The air left his lungs in one loud breath as Easton took him inside. He almost blew right then. The combination of wanting Easton so long and Easton’s tight heat punched Nico hard. Thankfully, Easton moved slow. Nico caught his breath. His hands landed on Easton’s hips. He prayed touching Easton wouldn’t make him stop, but Nico wanted Easton to enjoy the ride. Nico led Easton into a different angle, ensuring each thrust massaged the perfect spot. A ragged-sounding whimper filled the air, letting Nico know he’d succeeded. Nico watched Easton ride him, treating the moment like the fantasy come to life it was. He wanted to remember everything. Easton was so goddamn strong and brave. Nico didn’t think Easton realized it, but Nico saw.
