“Horny bastard.” Michael eased a second finger into Niall. “Taking me right in.”

“I want you.” Niall glanced backward again. “Wanted you since you showed up at orientation.” He tipped his head back and moaned. “Didn’t think you were…gay.”

Oh, the surprises he had in store for poor Niall. He’d worry about those problems later. Right now only Niall mattered.

“Can’t wait.” He picked up the wrapper and opened it with his teeth. Not smart to use his teeth, but he couldn’t hold out any longer. He rolled the condom over his cock then lined himself up with Niall’s asshole. “Breathe.” He moved slowly, in and out of Niall. He couldn’t think, just feel.

Niall shivered but complied. A long groan escaped his lips. He grasped the sheet and grinded in time with Michael.

Michael dug his fingers into Niall’s hips. The synapses in his brain went into overload. Each time he buried himself to the hilt in Niall, he felt like he’d come home. This was where he belonged—with Niall.

“Faster.” Niall wriggled against Michael. “God.”

Michael slapped Niall’s ass and grabbed his shoulder. By extending his reach, he shoved himself deeper into his friend. Fuck. A bead of sweat slipped down his temple and his knees buckled. He needed to come.

“Michael.” Niall panted and dipped his head. “Fuck me.” He propped himself up on his knees and one hand.

“Get yourself off with me. Come apart.” Michael increased the speed of his thrusts. Just a little more and he’d be over the edge. He shoved harder into Niall. He needed to own this man.Fucking balls.He squeezed his eyes shut and pushed balls-deep into Niall. His restraint splintered. No more holding back. He buried himself in Niall and gave in to the orgasm. His thoughts blurred, the room spun and nothing mattered but Niall. He emptied his load in the condom in Niall’s ass.

“I’m almost there,” Niall bit out. He tensed beneath Michael and grunted. When he relaxed, he moaned.

The boy was so loud. Michael preferred a lover who told him how he felt. He liked Niall more than he’d realized. He collapsed on his friend’s back and wrapped his arms around him.

Niall chuckled and sank onto the bed. “I can’t hold myself up.”

“I don’t want to move.” He kissed Niall’s shoulder. “Want to stay right here inside you all night.”

“Works for me.” Niall grasped Michael’s hand and laced their fingers. “Feels good.”

Too good.Michael withdrew from Niall. Being snuggled together filled the void in his soul, but he’d never be able to keep up the separation of his teaching life and his musical career if he allowed Niall into his heart.

“Michael?” Niall squeezed Michael’s fingers. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’m fantastic.” He eased away from Niall and let go. He removed the used condom and chucked it in the wastebasket. Christ. He hadn’t realized how connected he’d be after one round of sex. God, he needed to do some serious thinking—after a nap.

“I know that tone.” Niall flopped onto his back and sat up. “Okay.” He nodded. “This is what I thought would happen.” He stood. “I’ll…I’ll find my way out.”

“No.” Michael snagged Niall as he passed. “That’s not it. Don’t go.”

Niall averted his gaze. “Then explain.”

What in the hell was he supposed to say?I’m infatuated with you, but I can’t see you after tomorrow because I’ll be on tour?I’m really a metal god, but I refuse to disclose my double identity? Yeah, none of those would work. Niall deserved honesty, but Michael had nothing. His stomach churned. He was so fucked up.

“I thought so.” Niall shrugged away from Michael. He snatched his shirt and pants from the floor. “Where are my underwear?”

“Stop and listen to me, please?”

Niall picked up the boxer briefs. “Why? So I can make a fucking fool of myself? I’m okay not doing that.” He stepped into the underwear and his pants. “I should’ve known.”

“That’s not what I meant at all. I don’t want you to make a fool of yourself.” Why was he having this argument in the damned nude? He yanked a fresh pair of boxer shorts from his drawer. “Niall.”

“What?” Niall paused. “What deep-down dirty secret are you hiding that you can’t tell me? Huh? You’ve got a boyfriend? You’re married? You’re only looking for casual sex and knew I’d put out? What is it?”

Jeez, he’d asked a lot of questions. Michael rested his hands on his hips. “First, I’m not married or in a relationship. I don’t want casual sex and I had no idea you’d put out.” But he did have a secret.Fuck.“I didn’t want to go this fast. We’re friends and I like being with you. I’d really planned on watching the basketball game with you. If we had sex, then fine, but it wasn’t the only thing I wanted.”

Niall twisted his shirt in his hands. “That’s it?”

“Yeah.” Well, it was all he was ready to discuss at the moment. “Stick around. Have some more pizza. I promise I won’t jump you or expect another blow job.” He cradled Niall to his side. “Maybe some kissing? Like when we get a basket?”
