Page 15 of Hooked On Him
“Okay,” I whisper.
“I’ve only been out as gay for a year now.” That, I knew. I remember when my brother told me after Austin came out to him. It was an emotional thing for him, happy for his best friend but he wanted advice on how to support him. It was sweet. But I was shocked by the news. Even though I was in a relationship, Austin coming out as gay brought up old feelings and a few regrets. Something I had to shove down out of guilt for my partner.
“And while, so far, it’s been smooth and everyone has been supportive, with school and rugby, I haven’t exactly had the time to date.”
“No?”
“No.” He shakes his head, the movement making his lips brush along my neck.
I moan softly, letting my head fall to the side.
Austin presses the smallest kiss to my throat, making me nearly feral.What is going on?I find myself asking that question a lot tonight.
“My issues are the same as yours. The idea of hooking up with someone I don’t know or trust doesn’t appeal to me. And I don’t have time to really date.”
“So what are you asking, Austin?” He needs to get to the point before I fucking explode. My cock is pressed so painfully against my dress pants, I might actually cry.
“I propose we do the friends with benefits thing. With each other,” he murmurs against my neck, kissing me again until my mind goes blank.
“I trust you. I know you. I don’t feel judged when I’m around you,” he whispers, and my heart nearly breaks at the vulnerability in his voice. “I’ll give you what you need. What you crave. You don’t have to feel like your wants and needs are wrong when you're with me. I might not be the most experienced person when it comes to sex, seeing how I’ve only been with one other person, but I’m eager to learn.” He peppers kisses down my neck, and my body sways towards him. “What do you say, Levi?”
Yes, yes, yes. I want to scream, yes! Sex with Austin Cade has been a dream of mine for years.
“What about the dating thing?”
“You're not looking for a boyfriend, and I’m single. We can let the world believe we’re together, have fun, and give each other what the other one craves. There’s no pressure, we can meet up whenever it’s convenient. And if you decide this doesn’t work for you, no hard feelings. We can just tell people we weren't right for one another.”
Tell him no. Tell him it’s a bad idea, that things will get messy. That its only going to lead to someone getting hurt. Thatsomeone being me because I know once I have a taste of Austin, I’m never going to want to let him go.
His offer seems too good to be true. It’s perfect. It’s exactly what I need.
But it’s wrong. So fucking wrong.Tell him it’s wrong, Levi!
“Okay,” I whisper. As soon as the words leave my lips, I feel like I might pass out. From nerves or excitement, I have no idea. That's sober Levi’s issue to worry about tomorrow.
“Okay?” Austin pulls back, this hopeful smile on his lips cementing my decision. It seems like I’d do anything to make this man happy. And it might be my downfall. But hey, I’m a people pleaser, it’s what I do. And of all the people to please, Austin would be my first choice.
“Yeah.” I nod. “Let’s do it.”
Austin’s eyes grow dark, his face taking on a feral look before he’s cupping the back of my head, cradling it in his large hand, and bringing his lips down to mine.
Austin Cade is kissing me. His lips are on mine, tongue gliding against the seam of my lips, demanding I let him in.
Who cares if I end up a broken mess? I’m taking the risk.
Seems like all logic is going out the window when it comes to Austin Cade. And I don’t seem to give a single fuck.
Chapter 4
Austin
I’m going to hell. A one-way ticket straight to the big guy downstairs.
But as I run my lips along the column of Levi’s throat, his soft, warm skin against mine, I’d happily burn for the rest of eternity.
My cock throbs with need, desperate for the man currently in my embrace. My offer to be not only his fake boyfriend, but to be friends with benefits, was for purely selfish reasons.
Why, you might ask? Because I’ve been crazy about this man for years. Yup. I’ve been lusting after my best friend's little brother pretty much since we were teenagers.
