The wicked grin crossed his features, and he specifically whipped it out for Gene.
“What’s stopping you?” he asked, moving a little closer to the man he loved.
Gene didn’t have an answer for that, mostly because he couldn’t resist temptation.
Instead, he bridged the gap, and found his mouth with his. That euphoria exploded around them, and they both sank into that mating of mouths.
Everything went still in Gene, and he focused on the kiss. Ethan had a wicked mouth on him, and there wasn’t a day that went by that he wasn’t grateful for that.
He could do this all day long.
When Ethan slowly broke the kiss, he was against Gene’s body, and he loved every second of it.
“Mr. Cantrell, I think your hand is on my ass,” he said, grinning.
Well, yeah, it was.
That’s where he always wanted it.
“You used that grin on me again. It shuts my brain off,” he admitted.
Well, that was good to know. He was going to bring it out a lot more now that he knew Gene was susceptible to it. He planned on using it to get his man riled up.
“Oh, did I?” he asked.
That made Gene laugh.
“You’re sadistic. Keep doing it. I like it a lot,” Gene admitted, as Ethan took a step backward to give them space.
It was work time.
“You’re my longest relationship,” Gene admitted. “I take pride in that.”
His too.
Well, unless you counted Kaya Cheek, but she was likely banging half the men on the reservation—like his brother.
“I can’t wait for our vacation,” Ethan admitted.
Oh, not as much as he wanted to be there. Gene would give his left nut to be naked inPuerto Ricowith Ethan.
“That feeling is mutual, Mr. Blackhawk. Trust me on that. I’d head there right now if we could.”
Gene had high hopes that if Corbin and Will worked out, they might be able to do it alone too.
That would be even better.
When Ethan slipped his fingers into Gene’s hand, it gave the man the chills. As of late, his lover was showing more public displays of affection.
Holding his hand.
Giving him the grin.
Sometimes, he’d even kiss him.
Ethan had come a long way in almost the year they had been dating.
Together, they walked up the stairs, holding hands. At the door to the floor they needed to do the interview, they broke apart to get down to business.
