Sleepwasn’tcoming.Kylerwiggled and squirmed until he was comfortable. Then wiggled and squirmed again when his body got tired in that position. He wished he could sleep, but his mind wouldn’t be quiet.
“What’s wrong?” Gavin mumbled, clearly half asleep.
“Nothing.” Only his mind was whirling.
“Tell me what’s wrong.” Gavin pressed a kiss to the top of Kyler’s head.
“Everything,” Kyler huffed. “I need a distraction.” His heart pounded. His mouth went dry. Why did he say that?
Kyler ran his finger along Gavin’s abs, making the prince shiver at the touch. Gavin grabbed Kyler’s wandering hand and pressed a kiss to his fingers. “What kind of distraction would you like?” Kyler could hear the laugh in the question.
“Various enjoyable activities come to mind.” Kyler lazily threaded his fingers with Gavin’s.
“I thought you didn’t want to play behind closed doors.”
“Apparently, I lied.” Kyler shook his head. “I’ve never sought my own pleasure, never really felt safe to do so.” He couldn’t look at the prince as he told him.
“But I’m safe.” A statement. Fact.
Kyler nodded. “And we don’t have to do anything. You can tell me a story.” He settled back into Gavin’s side. “But you have to use different voices for all the characters.”
A smile crept over Gavin’s face. “I have an exciting story about how I first met the king of the pixies. Or I could read you something, maybe from your parents’ journal. Recite a poem. I have three memorized, so not man—”
“Actually, I lied again. I want to kiss you.” Kyler twisted to meet Gavin’s gaze. The haze of his desire rose from his skin, wrapping thickly around him, sending shivers down his own spine. He fought to suppress his surprise.
Gavin crooked his finger, beckoning Kyler forward. “Then kiss me, Kyler. I’ll never deny you.” Gavin’s voice was thick with desire of his own.
The command went right to Kyler’s cock, tenting the loose pants he wore. He wanted to tell Gavin to fuck him. Hard. But he wanted to go slow with Gavin, enjoy the prince while he had him. Screw his earlier reservations about not playing behind closed doors.
“Did you change your mind? I have the pendant on. And kissing can be a fun distraction.” Gavin cupped Kyler’s face and thumbed his cheek. “But we don’t have to do anythi—”
Kyler pressed a kiss to Gavin’s lips, dragged his mouth to his stubbled chin and down his throat.
Then Kyler pulled away to lie on his back. Gavin watched. His eyes seemed to glow. Lust filled as Kyler spread his legs to make room for him. Boldly, he tugged one of Gavin’s horns to bring him closer.
“Distract me.” He licked at Gavin’s mouth. He didn’t even care what Gavin did, as long as it kept him from thinking at all.
Gavin smiled over him. “What would you like me to do, Kyler?”
Damn him. “Take your robe off.”
“Gladly.” The silk flowed off Gavin’s big shoulders and slid down the bed to the floor, leaving him completely naked. Kyler dropped his gaze to take in the erection between Gavin’s legs. Large and delicious, he couldn’t wait to have it in his mouth again. He ran his hands over Gavin’s strong shoulders, down to squeeze his thick biceps.
“Take my clothes off.”
Gavin raised his brows, but quickly moved to follow directions. He skipped his hands over Kyler’s stomach, lifting the thin shirt as he did. Kyler held his breath. Gavin’s mouth was on his throat before he tugged the shirt off completely. “Do you want me to touch you?”
“Yes.” Kyler breathed in the dragon’s scent—apples and leather and storms—taking it in and stamped it into his memory.
Gavin moaned into Kyler’s neck. “How do you want me to touch you?” Gavin kissed his shoulder.
Kyler gripped the sheets. “Just touch me. Please.”
A kiss to Kyler’s other shoulder. “You’re in charge. I’m but a humble servant worshiping at the temple of my god.”
For a moment Kyler hesitated in going further, but he wanted this. Wanted to get lost. Wanted Gavin’s hands all over him.
Gavin leaned down and pressed tender kisses to Kyler’s stomach. He inched higher and higher, taking his time. Like Kyler was the only thing that mattered in the world. Kissing his collar bones. Then both shoulders. Until he was back to Kyler’s lips. One hand laid on Kyler’s hip, the other softly fisted his hair.
