“You’ll find out when we get there. I need to talk to Andy. If you feel like coming down, please do. If you’d rathernot, you’re welcome to sit here for a bit. And, if you want, I’ll take you home in about fifteen minutes. But, for my sake, I hope you’ll stay. Okay?”
Galen nodded.
“Good.” Robert got up and kissed Galen’s head. “I’ll be right back.”
And with that, Robert got up and took the first steps toward helping Galen find out who he had the potential to be.
“WHEN YOUsaid be ready at ten, I didn’tthink you were going to be here at eight.”
Robert chuckled. “I wanted to take you to breakfast before we went.”
“Where are we going?” Galen had tossed and turned all night wondering. “Do I at least get a hint?”
“Nope.” Robert turned and brushed their lips together. “I need you to trust me. Can you do that?”
Trust? God, that was in such short supply. But Robert? He had earned a chance at it.
When they’d left his parents’ home the previous night, Robert had told Marco he would take Galen home. Andy protested but then agreed. Now he was somewhere with Marco, and Galen hoped they were having fun.
“Yes, I trust you.”
“Good. Get dressed. Something casual, and not something you mind if it gets a little dirty.”
Dirty?“That doesn’t sound like this is going to be fun.”
Robert leered.“You have no idea how much fun getting dirty can be.”
God, Robert’s voice was hot when it got deep and growly. Galen wanted Robert to shove him against the wall again, but this time he wanted Robert to spread him and take him from behind.
“Galen?”
He shook his head to clear the image of Robert, balls-deep inside him, the sweat glistening from his body.
Robert chuckled. “What are you thinkingabout?”
Galen turned, hoping Robert wouldn’t see his cock lengthening in his pants. God, being near Robert did such things to Galen’s body. He’d never wanted another man as badly as he did the one standing in front of him.
“You know, I don’t do casual.”
Galen groaned. “Yeah, you’ve said it once or a thousand times.”
Robert leaned in and kissed Galen. No, not a kiss. He ravished Galen’s mouth.When Robert reached under Galen’s shirt and stroked his hands over Galen’s chest, Galen whimpered. Then he took a step back, and a whine slipped from Galen’s lips.
“See, I believe what my parents taught me. A committed relationship brings the most fulfilling sex. I don’t want to rut mindlessly, because you deserve more than that.” He put a hand on Galen’s head and tilted it sideways, then lockedhis mouth on the tender flesh and sucked hard. Galen didn’t doubt Robert was marking him. Robert drew back, and Galen shuddered when he saw Robert’s pupils were wide, almost blotting out the color. “You deserve so much more, Galen.”
“But—”
“When the time is right, we’ll both know. I want it to be special, where we can take our time and learn each other’s bodies. I don’t want to fumble aroundwith you like a high school boy. I want to make love to you like a man.”
Oh, holy shit. Goose bumps erupted on Galen’s arms. Robert’s voice was soft and tender but held an air of dominance to it that spoke to Galen. He’d never been made love to, and now he craved it more than he thought possible.
“Robert.”
“We should go.”
“What?” The kiss muddled his mind. Galen wanted to stay here, even ifall they did was kiss. He already craved it, needed Robert’s lips, tongue, and even the occasional sharp bite from his teeth.
“Come on. We have a lot to do today, and you’re going to have a tough decision to make by the time we’re done.”
“Wait. What do you mean, I have to make a decision?” It was easier for Galen when he was told what was expected of him. He could never disappoint anyone thatway.
“You said you’d trust me, so don’t worry. I won’t let anything bad happen to you.”
“Promise?”Fuck. The word was a literal whine. Way to show what kind of wuss you really are.
“Yes, I promise. Come on. Time’s wasting, and we have an appointment to keep.”
Robert was going to be the death of Galen. He’d never imagined a future where he could be open and free to be with who he loved, buthe was starting to imagine it, and Robert appeared in every bit of his fantasies.
