sighed and slid her hand into his hair, pulling him
closer. Her softness and heat burned him, and when his tongue slid craftily in
and rubbed over hers, he felt the fire from the inside out. He hoped maybe she
felt the same, because when he started a short, light suction on her tongue,
Shannon gave a low moan and began to knead at his shoulder with one hand while
stroking through his hair with the other.
When his teasing got to be too much, and she was wriggling
and pressing her thighs together, she apparently decided to fight fire with
fire and sucked his tongue into her mouth. At his muffled grunt of pleasure,
she smiled into the kiss, sucking more intensely still.
Captivated, Matt slid an arm behind her and eased her onto the
couch, following her down to prop himself on his forearms, caging her with his
body. To his great satisfaction, Shannon automatically slid one foot to the
floor, making room for him in the cradle of her pelvis. When he deliberately
stroked his erection against the damp denim at the apex of her body, she sighed
and arched closer.
His hips began a rhythmic pulsing against hers, and Matthew
realized if he didn’t stop now, he’d end up taking her right there on his
couch. Ignoring his outraged cock, he lifted his lips from hers and sucked air
in through his teeth when she took the opportunity to lick at the soft skin
just below his ear and work one small hand between them to stroke the length of
his erection. Gritting his teeth so hard he almost expected his jaw to crack,
he choked out his one and only warning.
“We need to stop now, or I won’t be able to.”
“I don’t want to stop.” She licked a path of fire down his
neck.
“You didn’t come up here for this,” he reminded her, and his
dick howled in protest.
“No, I know.” She pushed into the soothing stroke of his
hand down her torso.
“Maybe you should think about it, be sure it’s what you want
before we do something that can’t be undone.” And what the fuck was he doing
talking her out of it? His body was raging, had been raging since Daniel had
buried himself balls deep in his ass on Sunday night. But then, maybe sex with
Daniel was precisely why he wanted Shannon to be very sure. He already had one
reluctant lover; Matthew didn’t know if he could handle a second.
Slowly, painfully, Matthew lifted himself from Shannon’s
welcoming body. He smiled at her regretful sigh and pressed a quick, soft kiss
to her swollen lips.
“Go on down. I’ll change and come down and help you do
battle with the dreaded couch.” She smiled back, though her eyes were still
dreamy and somewhat out of focus. When she just lay there watching his mouth,
Matt grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet. It didn’t do either of them
any good when she landed against his body. It took a minute before he could
bring himself to stop kneading at her waist and release her.

Daniel bounded up the stairs to Matt’s place, too agitated
to wait for the elevator. His stomach was knotted with stress. He’d been
stressed out since he’d given in to Matthew’s seduction. A big part of him felt
guilty, while an even bigger part wanted to do it again. The sex was good—rough
and carnal, and Matt seemed to have no issues letting Daniel take the lead.
Lost in thought, he wasn’t looking where he was going as he
exited the stairwell on Matt’s floor. A soft thud and a small, feminine “Omph”
had him looking down.
Sprawled on the floor in front of him was the most delicious
female he’d encountered in a long while.
“You just going to stand there, or are you going to help a girl
up?”
Daniel crossed his arms. Her voice was mellow. It reminded
him of music. And there was something in her eyes. An openness. A calming
effect when she looked at him. It warmed his insides, relieving some of the
tension he’d felt just a moment before.
“Well, I don’t know.” He deliberately ran his eyes over her
curvy body. “What’s my
