Page 42 of Meeting Mr. Christmas
Jed groaned as Noel buried his face into the heat that throbbed between his legs, tangling his fingers in Noel’s hair as waves of tingling pleasure crashed over him. His ragged groans filled the air, joining Noel’s own. Never, ever, had he experienced anything like this before.
It wasn’t the first time he’d had tight lips running the length of his dick, or a tongue flicking at his hot, super sensitive tip. But it had never been likethis.A rasp of stubble, lips that were harder and a hand that was firmer. And those noises… deeper, rougher, and so, so right. Jed gasped as Noel pulled off him with a wet and slurpy pop.No, no, no, no.Noel couldn’t be leaving him like this, he couldn’t be leaving him with a pulsing cock and burning, aching balls that felt like they just wanted to fucking explode. Jed let out a trembling sigh of relief as he was once more engulfed in the wet heat of Noel’s mouth, his eyes fluttering to a close again at the pressure of Noel’s tongue, and the light scrape of teeth, almost a tease, sent shivers down his spine. It was overwhelming, intoxicating. It was like nothing that had gone before and fuck, he never wanted it to end.
“Oh god,” Jed gasped, his hips bucking involuntarily. “Noel, I… I can’t…”
Noel hummed in response, the vibrations sending a burst of heat like goddam solar flares through Jed’s body as Noel took him deeper, hollowing his cheeks as he sucked, his hands gripping Jed’s trembling thighs.
Jed’s world narrowed to a pinpoint of sensation. The coil of tension in his belly wound tighter and tighter as his breath came in ragged pants. He was close, so close, teetering on the edge of something monumental that would change his and Noel’s lives for good.
“Noel, I’m gonna…” Jed tried to warn him, but Noel only redoubled his efforts, his tongue swirling around the sensitive, nerve filled head of his cock.
With a strangled cry, Jed came, his body arching off the couch, the pressure on his pulsing cock almost unbearable as Noel swallowed him down, every drop, his throat working as he milked Jed through his orgasm.
As the last tremors subsided, Jed collapsed into the couch, boneless and spent, his heart thundering, the rush of blood through his veins deafening, his breath heavy and labored. He threw a trembling arm across his face, hiding the tears that were already rolling down his cheeks. In the course of an evening, his life had changed direction. There was no going back to who and what he and Noel had been before.
And no way, ever, would he change one damn thing.
“Hey.”
Jed let his arm slip away. “Hey,” he croaked back as Noel climbed up his body and pressed tender kisses to his heated, sweat slicked skin. When their eyes met, Jed saw his own wonder and desire reflected in Noel’s gaze.
“You okay?” Noel asked, his voice rough and raw.
And no wonder Noel sounded like gravel. A bubble of pride burst in Jed’s chest, and he tamped down on the chuckle tingling on his tongue.
Noel’s teeth worried at his lower lip as doubt flickered in his eyes. No way was Jed going to let that happen when everything was so much more than okay.
“C’mere.”
Noel melted into Jed’s embrace, the cutest little brunette he’d ever held. Jed’s fingers trailed lazily up and down Noel’s spine, coaxing out a contented sigh.
“I’ve wanted this for so long,” Noel murmured against Jed’s chest. “I was afraid you’d never…”
Jed silenced him with a kiss, his lips soft and insistent. When they parted, he cupped Noel’s face in his hands, thumbs caressing his cheekbones. “I know. I’m sorry it took me so long to figure it out, more sorry than you could ever know. But I’m here now. With you. It’s where I belong.”
Noel’s eyes shimmered, and a tremulous smile spread across his face. “You mean that?”
“Every word,” Jed replied, his voice husky. He brushed Noel’s hair from his brow, breathing in the scent that was uniquely Noel. “I’ve never felt anything like this before. It’s… intense. Overwhelming. But in the best possible way.”
Noel chuckled softly, his hands roaming over Jed’s broad chest. “Welcome to the club, big guy. It only gets better from here.” A mischievous glint appeared in Noel’s eyes.
“Oh yeah? Care to show me how?”
Noel grinned, and a fresh surge of desire coursed through Jed’s veins.
“With pleasure,” Noel purred, capturing Jed’s lips in a searing kiss that promised so much more to come.
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Noel stared down at Jed, spreadeagled on the bed. Somehow they’d made it to the bedroom last night, crashing out, too tired to do anything other than cuddle as they tumbled into sleep. The morning after the night before. It was one of those, for sure, but unlike any he’d ever known. Noel chewed his lower lip. It wouldn’t, couldn’t, be like all those other times, with other guys. Jed wouldn’t wake up, the only thing on his mind how to get away fast enough… but the small, nagging doubt burrowed down in the darker recesses of his brain.
The click of claws, accompanied by insistent barking as Peter burst in dragged Jed out of sleep. Jed blinked, sleep soft eyes meeting Noel’s as a softer smile lifted his lips. Noel swallowed and smiled back. No, this wasn’t like all those other times.
“Morning, Peter.” Jed pushed himself to sitting, the sheet pooling at his hips as he leaned down, scooped him into his arms and held him against his broad chest. Peter wriggled in excitement. And no wonder, Noel thought, because he wasn’t the only one who’d be excited to be held against Jed’s muscled, and very naked, chest. Jed peered over Peter’s still wriggling body. “We good?”
Noel nodded and relief flooded Jed’s face, the apprehension in his eyes only evident when it lifted. Noel’s heart twinged; he hadn’t been the only one wondering.
Noel plucked Peter out of Jed’s arms and put him outside the bedroom before he closed the door. The whining and scratching were almost immediately replaced by the receding clip clop of claws.
