He leans down and licks my cheek as though marking his territory.

Which works for me.

Because I am his territory now.

Ty

Lance’s arm andleg are draped around me as he clings to me, his pretty head tucked against my chest. I like having him on me like this, in my bed, just listening to the sound of his breathing.

Last night was epic. Everything I could have hoped for and so much more. Being inside this tight ass that’s all mine, being the one to open him up and claim it. And I’m glad Lance trusted me to be the one to do the job.

Lance finally stirs. “I guess I should go,” he mutters before planting a kiss on my abdomen.

“No,” I blurt out, which catches his attention, and he angles his head to look up at me. “I don’t want you to go. I mean, obviously, if you need to, or if you work early or something…”

“I don’t work until later in the day, but if I stay, it’s not gonna be easy for me to sneak out in the morning without everyone noticing.”

Despite how epic the sex was, my feelings for Lance are beyond that. It’s not just his ass I want. I enjoy spending time with him, getting to know him beyond the fun we have together.

I consider my next words carefully. “What if you didn’t have to sneak out? What if we went downstairs and grabbedbreakfast together?”

“Then the guys might think it weird that I was over here last night, with you.”

“So what?”

He’s just staring blankly at me.

“Never mind,” I say. “Sorry, that’s such a dick move of me. This isn’t only about what I want. I want you to stay the night. I’m not ashamed of what we’re doing, and I don’t give a flying fuck what dumb shit comes out of Ryan’s or Keegan’s mouths. But you need to do what you feel comfortable with.”

He’s still not giving me any indication about his feelings around my invitation.

“Whydo you want me to stay the night?” Lance finally asks.

“Stud, I thought you were a smart guy. Surely you realize I like more than just your ass. I enjoy hanging with you.”

He smiles, and the tension that’s built up within me dissipates.

“Is Ty Lancaster hung up on me?”

It’s clear he’s joking, but I can’t help saying, “Yes.”

I’m surprised by how serious that came out, and I can tell by his stiff expression that it takes him by surprise too.

“I like spending time with you,” I confess. “And every time you’re not around, I just think about getting to spend more time with you and being annoyed when you’re not there, so yeah, a few more hours with you pressed up against me, offering those kisses against my abs and pecs, nestling your face against me, that would be nice.”

“Even if the guys found out? All our friends?” Lance asks.

It’s the practical side, which I hate that we even have to consider. “It’s not a problem for me, but again, if it is for you, then fuck what I just said.”

His brow twists up. “You can’t say those kinds of things and then take them back. And I don’t care what anyone says about what we’re doing. I like the idea of you taking me downstairs tomorrow, letting all your Sigma Alpha bros know how you claimed this ass.”

“And expecting many more times.”

He laughs. “Well, let’s hope they all live up to tonight’s fuck.”

“I’ll make sure of it.” It’s my promise to him as I rest my hand against his cheek, running my thumb down his face. “I want to be inside that ass a lot more.” As his cheeks light up, I say, “There’s that pretty shade of pink again. Harder to get that nowadays.”
