Next time? How can he think straight and form clear sentences when every one of my brain cells has turned to mush?

A grunt escaped Ashley’s lips. The heat in his body centered in his groin. Colt wasn’t kidding—this wasn’t going to take long. He pumped his hips and rammed his cock into Colt’s hand.

“I’m…I’m right there.” Ashley buried his face against Colt’s shoulder. He shuddered and the orgasm overwhelmed him. He yanked hard on Colt’s cock as he came. He couldn’t think or breathe, just felt warm and gooey all over. When he opened his eyes, he noticed the thick rope of cum streaked across Colt’s belly.

“My turn,” Colt murmured. With his hand around Ashley’s, he jerked himself off. “Love the way you touch me. So hot.” Colt let go of Ashley and allowed him to stroke him at his own pace. At the same time, Colt massaged his balls.

Watching Colt act so brazen turned Ashley on. He increased his strokes and stared into Colt’s eyes. For a moment, he saw straight to Colt’s soul.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Colt whispered. He thrust his hips forward and decorated Ashley’s stomach. “Ash.” He collapsed on his back and closed his eyes. “I needed that.”

“Me too.” Ashley rolled away from Colt and swatted the bed for his shirt. He should’ve brought a change of clothes, but he hadn’t been thinking that far ahead.

“Stop.” Colt sat up. “I want to take care of you.” He leaned over then stood. Colt wiped the cum from Ashley’s belly. Once he’d cleaned up Ashley, he wiped himself off. “Stay with me a while longer.”

“I’ve stayed too long as it is.” Ashley scrubbed one hand across his face. He’d been careless. For all he knew, his son or mother had heard what they’d done.

“Please?” Colt grabbed a blanket and stretched out beside Ashley. He covered them. “You’re in here with me talking. No one will care.”

“If they didn’t hear us.”

Colt placed his finger over Ashley’s lips. “No one heard anything.”

He wished he could be so confident. Ashley snuggled up to Colt and sighed.

“You have no idea how this feels to me.” Colt eased his arm across Ashley’s belly.

“What? A hand job?” Ashley tipped his head and stared at Colt’s profile. “Don’t tell me this is your first time getting a hand job.”

“It’s not. I’ve played with myself before. I meant, being with someone and feeling needed. I’m safe.” Colt blew out a long breath and smiled. “It’s nice.”

“You feel that way with me? I’m no one important.” He hated to discount himself, but he knew the score. Colt was model perfect and Ashley wasn’t that handsome.

“You’re wrong.”

“How? I’m boring.”

“No.” Colt rolled back onto his side and shifted his arm to grasp Ashley’s ass. “You’re a dad and a teacher. Those are both hard jobs and you’re doing them with grace. You’re noble. Compared to me, you’re awesome. I just feed people.” He trailed his fingers over Ashley’s butt cheek then pinched. “I always thought I wanted to be single, free, and fuck every guy I met. I got my heart broken by Jay. I thought I’d grown up and had everything I needed, but I met you. When I see you with Wyatt, I’m awed. I want that kind of love. I want that kind of devotion. I might have grown up because of Jay, but I’m still learning.”

“Remind me to have you over after he’s had three cans of root beer and fruit snacks or when he’s tired and cranky. You’ll change your mind about wanting a kid.” Ashley snorted. Having a child was so much harder than it looked from the outside. “He can be a hellion.”

“Aren’t we all from time to time?” Colt asked. “I saw you and him together, and I realized my desire to be alone was crap. I want to give us a try. Who cares about the coalition or the picketers? Okay, I care, but they aren’t going to change my mind. I like you, Ashley. You’re my safe port when the rest of the world goes to shit.”

“We just met.” Although he agreed with most of what Colt had said, he’d never seen himself as noble, although he liked hearing the words. Still, they were crazy new in their relationship. Things could get out of control quick. How could Colt be so sure so fast?

“I know my heart. I’m not saying I’m in love. You’re right—it’s too soon to know if the feelings are that deep, but I know I’m head over heels for you.” Colt grinned. “When the stuff at the diner went to hell, I ran right to you because I knew I was safe with you. That’s a huge thing for me. I don’t trust easily, but when I’m with you, I know I can trust you with my heart.”

He pressed his lips together and pieced through what he’d been told. Trusting with his heart. Even Lane hadn’t said such things. Lane had simply wanted to fuck all the time. Ashley didn’t doubt that once they had time to fuck, he and Colt would spend plenty of hours tangled up together.

“All I’m asking is for you to give me a chance. I’ve never been in this deep.” Colt kissed Ashley’s cheek.

“You don’t have anything to worry about. I’m not going to push you away.” Ashley kissed him back. “What I am going to do is leave you alone for now. I should be on the couch. Regardless of what Ma said, I want to be able to hear Wyatt if he has a bad dream.”

“You’re such a hot dad.” Colt patted Ashley’s ass. “Smart too.”

“I try.” Ashley sighed and sat up. He didn’t feel all that intelligent at the moment. He snatched his pants and underwear from the floor then stepped into them. Instead of buttoning his jeans, he left them open. “If you need to use the restroom, it’s the only door to the left. I’m on the couch. Head to the right and down the steps. If you need anything that’s not sex, let me know.” He winked. “Good night, handsome.”

Colt snuggled up in the blankets and winked back. “You know where I’m at if you get lonely.”
