“Mark me,” he groaned, thrusting upward. “I’m yours.”

I wanted to strip him right then and put my mouth somewhere I wouldn’t mark. Not yet.

With my fingertip, I circled a spot just above his hip. “Here? Or here?” I traced around his navel. Then up his ribs, where his skin rippled, to just under his left pec. “Here?” I bumped my finger over his nipple to the fleshy part of his upper pec.

He thrust his hips again.

“There, I think.” But I didn’t do it yet. I kissed his hungry lips first, a bruising press and a slide of tongue. When he moaned, I moved down his jaw to his neck. His pulse throbbed, beckoning to me, but Cooper Fallon, COO, couldn’t go back to the office with a hickey on his neck like a teenager. I trailed my lips down to his nipple and kissed it, then took the erect nub between my teeth and sucked.

He ground his hips into mine. “Please.”

My skin fizzled with the power of his plea. At last, I drew a line up his pec with my tongue and circled my target once, twice, before I closed my lips over his skin and sucked. He bowed up under me, groaning.

I slid a hand between us and palmed the front of his shorts. He hissed. I licked to soothe the spot and then descended again, sucking and nibbling until I was satisfied he’d carry the reminder back to California. I kissed the spot, then I devoured his lips. When I lifted, he chased my kiss.

I dismounted from him and stood on the floor between his spread knees. I started at his neck, tracing a line down his chest, the center of his flat stomach, his navel. When I tugged off his shorts and underwear, his erection bobbed, flushed and desperate.

Descending to his balls, I inhaled the mix of soap and musk. Then I licked my way up, circling the head. His body strained, and he fisted the sheets.

I sucked him down as far as was comfortable and started to work him down farther when he clutched my hair. “No.”

I backed off and held the base of him in my hand. “No?”

“I want—” He levered up onto his elbows and worked his mouth. “I want you to fuck me.”

My heartbeat galloped. “You want to fuck me?” It was what I’d wanted all week. For months, actually. My asshole clenched.

He shook his head. “No. I want you to do it. Fuck me.”

My eyes widened. I’d always taken Cooper for a top. His gruffness, his protectiveness, even his fucking title with “Chief” in it all pointed to a dominant man. I narrowed my eyes. “This isn’t your first time with a man, is it?”

“No. Though it’s the first time in a long time.”

I sighed through my nose. “You mean, it’s the first time since you met Jackson Jones?”

He looked away. “Yes.”

Fucking broad-shouldered Jackson Jones. He didn’t even want Cooper, not the way I did, and still his presence filled the bedroom.

“You sure about this? I mean, I’m not huge, but it’s a lot to pop someone’s cherry. Or repop it after so many years, I guess.” I winced. Why was I being an ass about this? Jackson wasn’t here. I was. And Cooper was asking me to fuck him.

“I use toys. I think you’ll find I can take you.” He stared right into my eyes, a challenge. “The things you need are in the bedside table.”

I walked to the table and opened the top drawer. Sure enough, there was a bottle of lube, an unopened box of condoms, and an array of toys. A vibrator, a dildo, and a graduated set of butt plugs, one of them the biggest I’d ever seen in real life.

I pulled it out of the drawer. It was a monster, as big as my fist. “You’ve used this?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm.” Next time, we’d get out his toys and play.

But he didn’t want a toy. He wanted me. At least, he thought he did. Penetrative sex changed things sometimes. And my relationship with Cooper rested on a knife’s edge. He’d just proposed to leave me here while he went back to California. I didn’t want an awkward first time to be another reason for him to close himself off again.

“You sure about this? We don’t have to. I’m happy with what we’ve done so far.”

“I want you, Ben. I’m fucking sure.”

The tightness in my chest loosened. He’d said what he wanted, and I was going to give it to him. I opened the box of condoms and pulled one out. I set the bottle of lube on the bed.
