Page 10 of Soft Bronze

Camden fell to his knees and licked his lips. “I’m not smart.”

“I’m sure you are.” Zelus knelt between Camden’s legs. “Let me help you.” He pulled on Cam’s pants. “Show me everything.”

Camden stood, then shucked his jeans and boxers. His cock pointed toward the ceiling. “I’m sure you tell all of your playmates they’re sexy. It’s a good way to get in your lover’s pants.” He sounded like a jerk, but he needed to keep a little bit of his guard up.

“I speak only the truth.” Zelus stood before Cam and brushed a lock of his hair from his forehead. “You’ve been hurt before and I’m sorry. I wish we’d met before I was locked in the bronze. Your sweet nature and kind spirit would’ve saved me two thousand years of suffering.”

“I’m not that … exciting.” Camden swallowed past a lump of emotion. Zelus kept wanting to put a lot of responsibility on him. How did the god know Camden had such power? Christ, he barely had faith in himself.

Zelus wrapped his hands around Camden’s dick. “You’re more than you know.” He stroked Camden. “So much more.”

Camden closed his eyes. Each stroke, each pull nudged him closer to ecstasy. Using his hands and rubbing one off in the bathroom hadn’t been enough—only being with Zelus would sate his need.

“Ah,” Zelus said and hummed. “My human enjoys my touch.” He increased his speed, jerking on Camden’s dick. “I like to please my partner.”

“You do it well.” Damn, Camden was on the edge.

“We can’t waste much time and I’d like to savor the precious hours we do have.” Zelus cupped Cam’s balls. “So handsome. I could spend all day simply gazing at you.” He bent over and flicked his tongue across the blunt head of Camden’s prick. “Kneel on the couch. I want to see that ass.”

“Yes, sir.” Camden shivered and did as Zelus commanded. His lover had him right at the point of coming apart, but he craved having the god in his ass. They needed to be one. Whatever emotion was sparkling between them, love was certainly the main ingredient.

“The gods lied.” Zelus smoothed his hands over Camden’s bare butt. “They said perfection only came from Olympus.” He buried his face in the crease of Cam’s ass. His tongue slid over Cam’s hole.

Camden shivered. Each lick, nip and nuzzle wound around his brain. Holy shit. He breathed out and sighed. Something behind him clicked. Probably the bottle of lube. Cool liquid dripped between his ass cheeks. Definitely the lube.

“Beautiful.” Zelus breached the tight ring of muscle and inserted one finger, then a second into Camden’s hole. The move stretched and prepared Camden for Zelus’s invasion. Camden ground his hips and buried his face in the cushions. The happy tingles in his body resumed. He slipped one hand beneath his body and stroked his own dick.

“I can’t wait any longer,” Zelus growled. “Using my hand on you is good, but I need to be inside you.” He eased his fingers from Camden. “Breathe for me, love. Move with me.”

“Yeah,” Cam replied. His entire body tensed as Zelus pushed inside him. Inch by inch, the god claimed him. Pressure built within Cam’s being. He groaned and shivered again as Zelus sank balls deep. They’d become one. “Zelus.”

“Yes.” The god moved his body, pulling out, then pushing into Camden. His fingers bit into Cam’s hips. “By Zeus and all that is holy, I name you as my celestial mate.”

Celestial … what?Cam didn’t have a chance to think through what his lover had said. Instead, the orgasm splintered within him and he cried out. Zelus increased his thrusts and echoed Cam’s whimpers.

Zelus smacked Cam’s ass and moaned.

Camden opened his eyes and panted. He’d been jerking himself off in time with Zelus’s thrusts, but hardly realized what he’d been doing. Only Zelus mattered. He collapsed fully on the couch, smearing cum between his body and the cushion.

The room spun and he fought to catch his breath.

Zelus pulled out of him and stretched out between Cam’s body and the back of the couch. “My love.” He kissed Camden on the shoulder. “I’ve missed sex. I never realized how much I needed this—needed you. Back on Olympus, the couches are much wider. We should have one custom made so this is easier.”

“We have beds. King size. Plenty of room for us to stretch out.” Cam grinned. “Or cuddle tighter together.”

“I’d like to explore one of those king-sized beds.”

Cam trailed his fingers down the side of Zelus’s face. “I have one of those beds.” He wriggled in Zelus’s embrace. “My feet hang off the end of most beds, so I got a big one. My only luxury.”

“Then take me to your home. Give me a chance to show you my love is true,” Zelus said. “And to try out that bed.”
