He waited patiently while I explored, a spark of amusement in his eyes. Were they green or hazel? It was hard to tell in the soft light.
As I ran my fingertip along the curve of his lower lip, he whispered, “I’m all yours tonight, Kit.”
Those words ignited something in me. I stretched up, and he leaned down to meet me half-way. When his lips brushed mine, my heart started racing even faster, and not because of my nerves. I leaned into him and slid my hands down his back, and he grasped my waist with both hands and pulled me closer.
I parted my lips, and the kiss became something more—something hungry and demanding, in the best possible way. Every part of me responded. I tugged at his T-shirt, and he helped me pull it over his head and toss it aside before doing the same with mine. We fell onto the bed, fumbling with zippers and fabric while he kissed my neck, my shoulder, anyplace he could reach.
Once we were both naked, he paused to ask, “Can I—”
“Yes.”
“You don’t know what I’m about to say.”
“No, but I trust you.” I was surprised to hear myself say that, but it was true. Trust didn’t always come easily to me, but there was something about Devon that put me at ease.
With that, he knelt between my legs and started sucking my cock. My breath caught, and I mumbled, “That feels amazing.” He looked up at me with a sparkle in his eyes and slid his lips all the way down to my balls.
He was very good at what he was doing, so it only took a matter of minutes to send me over the edge. I came hard enough to make my toes curl. It was all I could do not to yell and wake the entire house.
Afterwards, I fell back onto the mattress and tried to catch my breath. He kissed my stomach before stretching out beside me with a self-satisfied grin. When I could speak again, I told him, “You seem to think we’re done, but we’re not.”
He chuckled when I pushed him onto his back. That turned into a moan when I climbed between his legs, took his cock in my mouth, and showed him he wasn’t the only one with some skills.
He lasted about as long as I had before grabbing a pillow and shouting into it as he exploded down my throat. Now it was his turn to collapse in a heap, gasping for air while I stretched out beside him with a grin.
He whispered, “That was incredible.”
When he shivered a little, we shifted around and climbed under the covers. I shut off the lamp, but I could still see Devon in the soft glow of a light-up snow globe on my nightstand. He burrowed deeper under the duvet and took my hand as he murmured, “I feel so good right now, and so lucky to get to share a warm, comfy bed with such a beautiful guy.”
“You think I’m beautiful?”
His expression grew serious, and he said softly, “Of course I do. You’re breathtaking, Kit. Don’t you know that?”
I didn’t know what to say. I pulled the blanket up to my chin and waited for him to talk about something else. After a minute, he said, “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“I know why I’m not looking for a relationship, but why aren’t you?”
“The only relationship I ever had was terrible. He constantly tried to control me and did everything he could to destroy what little self-esteem I had. I guess that was his way of making sure I’d never have the guts to leave him. Since then, I haven’t really wanted to try again.”
“I’m sorry you had to go through that.”
“It’s okay. I mean, it wasn’t, but I got out. We were together when I lived in San Diego, and I knew it wasn’t enough just to break up with him. I needed to put some distance between us, and that’s exactly what I did. It was part of the reason I entered that competition for a scholarship to a school here in San Francisco.”
Devon asked, “Did you ever see your ex again?”
“Once. He tracked me down at my school about a year after I moved here and tried to demand that we get back together.”
“What did you do?”
“I totally flipped out. I guess I had a lot of pent-up anger, because I started screaming at him and causing a huge scene. He must have realized he couldn’t control me anymore, because he left and I never heard from him again.” I took a breath and shook off the bad memories before saying, “The good thing that came from all of this was finding out I’m much stronger than I thought I was.”
“You’re a total badass.”
“I don’t know about that.”
