Page 28 of The Last Gargoyle's Christmas Wish
“If you want.” Grady laughed, his smile vulnerable. “Although, I’m really not the beauty you seem to think I am.”
Uzoth shook his head. Just the thought of Grady had awakened the dormant desires within his body. “I disagree.” He gripped the hem of Grady’s shirt and tugged it over Grady’s dark hair. His fingers skated over the soft skin and hair on Grady’s torso.
Grady’s breath caught.
“You are stunning to behold. I am truly honoured that you want me and would share your body with me.” Then Uzoth lowered himself to his knees and reached for Grady’s trousers and the promising bulge that lay beneath.
“You should probably know, it has been a while since I’ve been with anyone,” Grady confessed with a wry smile.
Uzoth’s hand paused. He looked up at Grady. “I guarantee it has been longer for me. I have not fucked anyone since long before you were born.”
“Bloody hell.” Grady laughed. “Well, you win, then.”
Uzoth hesitated. “Will you tell me if I do anything to displease you? I have never been with a human. Only gargoyles. I would not wish to do something that didn’t bring you pleasure.”
“Well, I’ve never been with a gargoyle. But I’m sure we’ll work it out together.” Grady’s gaze skittered along the horns sprouting from Uzoth’s forehead. “Can I touch…” He gestured to the horns.
Uzoth’s chest tightened. Why would Grady want to touch those? Uzoth knew what he was. He was a grotesque monster. Plain and simple. His visage had been formed with the intent to strike fear into the souls of his creator’s enemies.
“Only if you want,” Grady rushed out. “I don’t have to.”
“It’s not that.” Uzoth’s brows furrowed. “I am only surprised that you would desire to touch those parts of me that are hideous and mark me so clearly as a monster.”
Grady gave a shake of his head. “How about we stop describing you as hideous, all right?”
“It bothers you?” Uzoth studied Grady’s face.
Grady reached out and touched one of Uzoth’s horns, sliding his hand along the smooth, hard surface. Uzoth shivered at the gentle caress.
“I don’t like to hear you speak so poorly of yourself.” Grady stroked the horn to the base. “Because I think you’re magnificent to look at.” Then he threaded his fingers through the long dark hair.
Uzoth let out a breath. He had never been touched like this before. He’d fucked many times during his existence. But it had always been a rough, rushed fuck. A quick fulfilment of needs. He’d never had a lover. He’d never had gentle kisses and sweet caresses.
His heart skipped. Grady wanted to be his lover. He didn’t just want to fuck. That knowledge floored him. It all seemed far too much for a monster like him.
“I’m kind of looking forward to exploring all of you, to learning your body.” Grady’s gaze flicked to Uzoth’s wings.
Uzoth frowned. It seemed his wings did not bother Grady either. But how could Grady find him attractive? It seemed incomprehensible. Grady not finding Uzoth terrifying would have been shocking enough. But appealing? It was a lot to come to terms with. However, he would not deny Grady anything.
“Then explore me as you desire.” Then Uzoth’s gaze fell to Grady’s trousers. “But you have distracted me. I believe I was meant to be undressing you.”
“Whoops.” Grady chuckled. He dropped his hands to his sides. “Better hurry up before I distract you again.”
Uzoth unlaced Grady’s trousers and removed them along with his undershorts. He stared at the proof of Grady’s desire, his long hard cock. The head flushed, and thick veins ran beneath the skin.
Amazed he’d been granted permission, he caressed the skin from Grady’s stomach, over his hips, and down his thighs. Goosebumps broke out in the wake of Uzoth’s touch.
Uzoth paused for a second, then he ran his clawed fingers gently along the outside of Grady’s thighs. Not enough to draw blood or even leave a mark, just enough to cause the skin to slightly redden.
Grady trembled at the light scratching sensation.
“Does that feel all right? Does it hurt?” Uzoth glanced at Grady’s face.
“Feels fucking amazing,” Grady murmured.
Uzoth carefully scraped his claws against the skin once again. Then Uzoth used the pads of his fingers to stroke the same path. Grady bit his lip, and his dick jerked.
Uzoth stared at Grady’s hard cock. The scent of his musky arousal filled the air. Uzoth wrapped his hand around the hard length and stroked.
