Page 34 of Scoring in Cedarwood

“Yes.” Tanner nibbled along Dane’s throat and palmed his chest. He caressed Dane, bringing a moan from within him. He scraped his teeth along Dane’s neck. “Love what I see.”

He stuffed his hands into Tanner’s back pockets and squeezed. “Do you?” He’d fallen hard for Tanner. No other man affected him this way. He wasn’t sure what to think, but he’d go along for the ride. He rubbed the bulge in his trousers against the one in Tanner’s jeans.

“Nice.” Tanner bit the soft spot on Dane’s shoulder where it connected to his neck.

Dane almost stopped him. He hated having marks on his body. It wasn’t professional to show up with a hickey. Yet, he wore collared shirts. If Tanner had to leave a blemish, it could be covered. He tipped his head back, giving Tanner more access.

“God, you’re pretty.” Tanner opened Dane’s shirt. He dragged his fingers down Dane’s chest until he caressed Dane’s belly button. “I thought about you today. I imagined you were in the stands. You watched me play and cheered me on. Knowing you were there made me want to do better.” He dropped to his knees. “To please you.”

“I wish I had been.” Dane gasped. He held on to the back of Tanner’s head. “Tanner.”

“You doubt me?” Tanner grinned. “I played like you were there—even if you watched the app.” He opened Dane’s trousers. Within seconds, he’d parted the fabric and shoved both the pants and Dane’s boxer briefs down his thighs, exposing Dane’s cock.

“I did watch you,” Dane managed. He couldn’t think straight. “On the app.” Had he just repeated what Tanner had said? He wasn’t sure.

“Yeah? Like I thought?” Tanner curled his fingers around Dane’s shaft and stroked. He moved slow, then picked up speed. “Did you ogle my ass?”

Jesus. Tanner wanted coherent answers. “Yeah. Your ass is hard to miss in those pants.”

Tanner brushed the blunt head of Dane’s erection across his lips, teasing Dane. He continued the slow strokes. “You like a guy in uniform?”

“Just you.” He couldn’t form the rest of his sentence. He widened his stance and pushed his cock in Tanner’s direction.

“I knew it.” Tanner chuckled then swallowed Dane to the root.

Dane caressed Tanner’s head. The man was pretty on his knees. He felt good around Dane’s dick, too. Dane blew out a ragged breath. Tanner consumed him—he took everything Dane had and forced him to be stronger. Tanner’s eyes shimmered as he bobbed his head. He met Dane’s gaze. Was he humming? Dane tried to listen, but he felt the vibrations to his core. He slid his fingers into Tanner’s hair and guided him. The thrill of being with Tanner combined with the freedom to be himself. The power surged within him. His nerve endings buzzed. He needed the counter for support.

Tanner fondled Dane’s balls while setting a steady cadence. He flattened his tongue along the underside of Dane’s shaft, sending a fresh wave of excitement through Dane. The humming continued.

Dane whimpered. He tipped his head back. “Fuck.”

Tanner moved to Dane’s balls. His hair tickled Dane’s thigh. He rubbed his nose along Dane’s shaft. The combination of sensations turned Dane’s thoughts to mush. He couldn’t concentrate on anything besides Tanner and what he did to his body.

Christ, he was sensitive. He gritted his teeth and pumped his hips. Dane moved on instinct. The need to be inside Tanner—after he came—overwhelmed him. The pressure of the day had been at the highest level, but Tanner had figured out how to relax Dane. He panted, trying to catch the breath Tanner kept stealing.

Tanner sucked both of Dane’s balls into his mouth. He glanced up at Dane. Longing and want sparkled in his eyes.

“Jesus.” Everything within Dane tensed. The climax built low in his belly. The intensity within him increased. His instincts took over and he lost himself in the act of being with Tanner.

Tanner let go long enough to gasp. “Yes.” He sucked Dane’s cock once more and with abandon. He pushed to the root then pulled most of the way out before going deep again.

Dane’s resistance shattered. He groaned and the sound seemed so loud in the room. He jammed his dick between Tanner’s lips. There was no more holding back the heat in his body or the orgasm. He drove hard and filled Tanner’s mouth. A shiver ran the length of his spine. His knees weakened.

Tanner remained tight to Dane. He swallowed everything Dane gave him and bobbed a few more times before finally sitting back on his heels. He grinned. Without a word, he stood and kissed Dane.

The taste of his orgasm exploded on Dane’s tongue. The saltiness was odd but good. He clung to Tanner. “We should go upstairs.”

“To your room?” Tanner’s eyes flashed. “Dane?”

“Why not?”

Tanner cupped his jaw. “I want to be an us. I know it’s fast, but I don’t do casual.”

“I don’t do casual, either.” Dane paused. “Aren’t we already a couple?” He’d decided they were after the first time they’d fucked.

“In public?” Tanner asked. “We’ll figure something out with the team. I don’t want to let go of what we’ve got.”

Dane kept his forehead against Tanner’s. “Devlin gave us his blessing.” Not that they needed it. Fuck anyone who wanted to keep them apart.
