Andrew took his time standing, slowly moving toward the door. He opened it, stepped out of the room, then looked back in and winked at them before closing the door behind him. Chris quickly locked it and shoved the chair over in front of it, just to be safe. When he turned around he almost swallowed his tongue.
Linc was leaning into the pillows, stretched out naked on the bed, running the tips of his fingers along the length of his cock. His eyes were closed, but he was smiling. Chris took one step, then dove into the bed, causing Linc’s body to bounce, and they both laughed. Lying on his side, he wrapped his arms around Linc and kissed the nape of his neck. As soon as Linc brushed his naked ass up against Chris, he could feel himself growing hard.
He rolled Linc over onto his back and settled into the space between his legs, shifting his hips, rubbing their stiff cocks together. Was he moving too fast? Chris couldn’t think straight, what with his dick hard enough to cut glass. Distance—he needed to put a smidge of space between them in order to clear his thoughts. Linc whimpered when Chris sat up. “Before we go any further, I need to say something. I like you, Linc, so much more than I expected to, but this is all so new to me. I don’t know where this is going, but I’m excited to find out, and I think maybe you are, too?”
“I am,” Linc quickly answered him, rolling his hips so that his cock bounced and flopped against Chris’s knee as it circled the air. He groaned and reached down to wrap his fingers around Linc’s thighs, squeezing hard. Linc hissed, but not in protest—at least Chris didn’t think so, since he continued to roll his hips suggestively.
“Holy fuck, you turn me on,” Chris growled, leaning in and kissing him softly, gently wrapping his hand around Linc’s cock with the same tender attention he gave Linc’s mouth. Their tongues met and tangled with enthusiasm, Chris unable to resist the urge to nibble on Linc’s soft, supple lips. Linc bucked up off the bed and moaned into Chris’s mouth, bringing his hands up to cradle Chris’s face and pull him even closer, swallowing the gasp that followed by deepening the kiss. Chris lined their cocks up and wrapped his hand around them both as he began a slow, steady thrust with his hips that left Linc breathless underneath him. Head swimming, he broke the seal of their lips. “Christ, I can’t seem to control myself when I’m with you.”
His body was flooded with emotions, each sensation fighting for dominance over the one before. Every sculpted, rigid muscle in Linc’s body vibrated under Chris’s hands, responded to his touch. Whether it was a slight hitch of breath or a straining moan, Linc conveyed his pleasure both physically and verbally. “You are so beautiful, Linc.” Chris spoke without hesitation, feeling the need to express more than just a sexual attraction, to make sure Linc understood he meant so much more to him than that.
“Yeah?” Deep, brown, glassy eyes stared up at him, brimming with desire and eagerness. “You can wax poetic later. Right now, I’d like it if you shut up and kissed me.” Strong arms wrapped around Chris’s neck, pulling him down, claiming his mouth hungrily.
Chris ground his hips down with force and purpose, breaking the seal of their lips when his head started spinning from a lack of oxygen. “Fucking hell.” Linc groaned. “Chris, you gotta stop, or I’m going to come.” The words had a bite to them, spoken through clenched teeth.
“I’m close too, want you there with me,” He whispered, kissing Linc possessively, tightening his grip. Their cocks felt like velvet steel in his hand, hard and smooth, but also sensitive. It was the most breathtaking thing Chris had ever seen, watching Linc come unglued under his ministrations. He flexed his hips, thrusting into Chris’s hand, his fists digging into the sheets as the most delicious moans and groans fell from his kiss-swollen lips. Twisting his wrist as he pulled on their shafts, Chris smiled when Linc cried out as his cock jumped in his hand, warm come coating his fingers. Chris looked up and caught the blissed-out expression on Linc’s face and that, coupled with Linc’s dick still pulsing in his hand, drove Chris over the edge, and he came with a groan.
He fell on top of Linc’s body, completely breathless and sated. Linc wrapped both arms around him, hugging him tight, kissing the top of his head. “I wanted to come with you inside me,” he whispered into Chris’s hair.
Chris shook his head before pushing himself up onto his elbows, looking down at his lover’s smiling face.Lover.Chris laughed. A month ago, the thought of having a man as a lover would have freaked him the fuck out, but now…now he couldn’t be bothered to care; everything about this felt right. No, not this per se—it was Linc.…Lincfelt right when he kissed him and held him in his arms.
“Wow.” Linc melted into the mattress.
“That good, huh?” Chris chuckled
”You have no idea.” Linc grinned, shoving Chris away and curling up next to him when Chris fell onto the bed, on his side.
There were tissues somewhere, but he didn’t feel like trying to find them. Instead, he grabbed the sheet that was tangled up at the foot of the bed, wiping the come off both their cocks and bellies, dropping the sheet on the floor beside the bed. “Listen, Linc…I want to take this slow, okay? What we do for a living is all about sex; I don’t want any relationship we cultivate to be just about sex too—I want more. I want to date you, get to know you, and spend time with you outside of all…this,” Chris waved his hand in the air. “Before we make a commitment to each other.” He met Linc’s intense gaze, searching for a reaction to what he’d said, loving the coy little grin plastered on Linc’s face.
“I get it, Chris, and I completely agree. We need to maintain an appropriate balance between work, friendship, and a possible relationship. Just so long as we both agree right now that outside of work and shoots, we are exclusive.” Linc ran his fingers up and down Chris’s spine as he spoke.
“I meant what I said after the shoot yesterday, Linc. I’m strictly a one-on-one kind of guy.” Chris nuzzled Linc’s head with his chin. “We can sort out the work aspect as we go, but I’d like it if you only bottomed for me.” Entering into a relationship—considering the line of work they were in—was going to have its fair share of challenges. Chris wanted a part of Linc that no one else would have. Linc quickly agreed.
“Mmmmmm…” Linc sighed. “Last night was amazing. Just being here with you, talking, falling asleep beside you with no expectations. But all things that are shiny and new can quickly dull in the light of day.” It took Chris a few seconds to sort through Linc’s words to get down to their meaning. They’d both been hurt in the past: Linc cheated on by the man he loved and trusted, Chris abandoned by his family for making the wrong choice. “I hear you, Linc, and I agree. We need to take this one step at a time. That being said, I’m in this for the long haul, babe, so wrap your brain around that.”
“I’d rather wrap my arms around you.”
Chapter Twenty Two
Bad Pennies
Breakfast was pancakes, sausage, knowing glances from their friends, and a stern stare from Victor. That was followed by questions, congratulations, and,“Come take a walk with me, boys. We need to talk,”from Andrew.
Chris wasn’t at all surprised to see Victor following them out the back door, Andrew leading the way down to the boat dock. While Andrew and Victor took turns talking, Chris held Linc’s hand and listened. Neither man was forceful or condescending—just the opposite, actually. Andrew and Victor were concerned and wanted to make sure Chris and Linc were taking their relationship to the next level for the right reasons, and sadly, were fully prepared to handle the fallout if things ended badly.
“Listen, we love you guys as if you were our own—hell, you boys are probably the closest we will ever come to having children. We worry about you is all,” Andrew said with one hand on Chris’s shoulder, the other on Linc’s. “Both of you have been through so much. I just want you to be absolutely, one hundred and ten percent certain that this is what you want. A relationship is hard work, guys, and as hard as youthinkit is, you wind up wishing it were that easy.”
Victor chimed in. “And you are only beginning to understand who you are, Chris, are you being certain you care for Linc as a lover, not just grabbing at first person to make you feel something since Amanda?” Victor’s words, though said from a place of love, were still very hard for Chris to hear. They felt like a punch to the gut, actually. The way Andrew glared at his partner over his shoulder made Chris chuckle, the happy sound lightening the mood.
Chris shook his head, staring out at the Sound, blue water rolling on waves as a strong wind blew through. He considered his words carefully before speaking; the last thing he wanted to do was alienate these two men that had given him so much. “All right, while I get what you’re saying and I appreciate your concern, I think I speak for Linc and myself when I say, ‘Piss off.’”
He wrapped his arm around Linc, pulling him close. “Am I scared? As a matter of fact, yes. I’m utterly terrified to open up and let anyone in, to take the risk of losing it all again. But I’m more concerned with being alone for the rest of my life. Linc is the first person since Amanda to make me feel…well…anything close to love. I promise you, Victor, Linc and I have already talked about the lines blurring between work and life, and we both want to keep them separate. I’m sure it will be a challenge until we figure everything out, but we are willing to try, so I hope you’ll support that.”
Dark eyes narrowed, the big, brooding vampire glared at them until Chris was damn near ready to crawl out of his skin. And then in the blink of an eye, Victor smiled. “Okay.”
“That’s it? ‘Okay?’” Chris asked, confused.
“Take it and run with it,” Andrew whispered, smiling.
