He lifts his eyes to mine, and the confusion and desire in them are unmistakable.
He wants something; he just doesn’t know what.
The side of my mouth tips up in a smirk.
I can work with that.
Locking eyes with him, I slowly push his hand down until his fingertips brush my cock.
He freezes, and I give him a second to get used to the fact that he’s touching my bare dick.
Usually I don’t give a fuck if the guy I’m hooking up with is a dude virgin or a seasoned manwhore, but there’s something incredibly satisfying about knowing that I’m the first guy that Shane’s ever touched like this.
That I’m the first he’s everwantedto touch like this.
I let go of his wrist, and he quickly pulls his hand free, the card still clutched between his fingers.
“Looks like you’ve got it,” I say when he swallows hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing enticingly. “What are you going to do now, Shaney?”
His eyes narrow at the nickname, but he doesn’t tell me to fuck off or make a beeline for the door.
“Are you gonna leave?” I ask, adding a teasing tone to my voice.
He flicks his gaze to the door but doesn’t move.
“Or are you going to finish what you started?”
“I didn’t start anything,” he says quickly. “That was all you.”
Plucking the card from his hand, I slip it into my back pocket. “Maybe.”
“Hey,” he exclaims, making a grab for my pocket.
I easily catch his wrist and hold him in place.
“Jesus fuck, how are you so strong?” he asks incredulously.
“Climbing.”
“Climbing? Like rock climbing?”
I nod, still holding his wrist in place.
“And I bet that’s where you get your reflexes too?”
“Nope, that would be from learning to dodge knives.”
He rolls his eyes. “You can’t be serious for more than ten seconds, can you?”
“What’s unserious about my answer? You asked if I got my reflexes from climbing, and I said they’re from learning to dodge knives.”
“Because any idiot would know you’re lying.”
“Why would I lie about that?”
“You’re saying it’s true?”
“My brother and I have some unique hobbies, and using each other for target practice is one of them. It was either learn how to dodge or learn how to patch up a stab wound. We’ve gotten really good at both over the years.”
