“We were hunted to extinction. I’m the last of my kind,” Gavin said softly.

Being alone in the world? That was something that Stryker was all too familiar with. “I’m sorry for your loss.”

“I was young. Very young. And I have my family now. A family that I think you might also need,” Gavin said.

“Need?” Stryker scoffed.

Gavin cupped his face. “It’s okay to lean on someone. To trust others to have your back.”

Stryker leaned forward, closing the distance between their lips. He appreciated the words, but Stryker wasn’t ready for that big of a leap. To make such a big commitment. He also had no plan to let Gavin go.

In his time alone thinking, he did figure out that he still wanted Gavin.

Gavin was the only person who’d ever intrigued Stryker enough to make him want to take a chance. Not that he was ready yet.

Stryker gripped the back of Gavin’s neck as Gavin deepened the kiss.

He leaned against Gavin’s strong body giving into the need inside him. Stryker chased Gavin’s tongue, needing more until he had to rip his mouth away to breathe.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to admit to anything. To tell me what you’re not ready to share yet,” Gavin said. He turned, laying Stryker down on the floor of the cave.

Stryker peered up at Gavin. How did he know?

“You don’t have to say anything at all,” Gavin said before he kissed Stryker again.

Spreading his legs, Stryker loved having Gavin settle over him.

The coolness from the cave floor sunk into his back but Gavin was burning hot over him. Gavin rubbed his cock against Stryker’s cloth-covered dick. It was so unfair that Gavin was gloriously naked and Stryker wasn’t.

He pushed up hard. “Please!”

“You want something?”

“I want you to fuck me!” Stryker demanded.

“No lube,” Gavin said as he rolled his hips. “Had to leave everything behind to track you down.”

Stryker huffed. Then why had Gavin gotten him worked up? Was this punishment? Fucker! Beautiful, sexy, fucking asshole. “But—”

“But I guess you didn’t run away, technically, so you should get a reward.”

Stryker was all for rewards. He bucked his hips again. “Yeah?”

Gavin smirked then slid down Stryker’s body. He unbuttoned Stryker’s pants before pulling the zipper down. Stryker’s erection made an indecent bulge in his underwear.

“What’s this?” Gavin asked. He pushed down Stryker’s pants and underwear. Stryker lifted his hips, but Gavin only pushed his pants down to his knees.

“It’s a hard dick!” Stryker felt like screaming. “Now touch it!”

“Patience,” Gavin admonished. “I’ve only gotten started.”

“Started?” Stryker swallowed hard. What did he mean?

Gavin hummed. Wrapping his fingers around the base of Stryker’s cock, he looked up and met Stryker’s gaze. “I’ve been thinking.”

“Thinking?” Thinking was overrated when there was so much more fun to have.

“I need to come up with a plan to keep you from getting bored.” Gavin licked the tip of his shaft.
