doing when he'd encouraged Tanner to stroke him? Tanner had never heard any rumors to indicate Matthias liked men, but then, who really knew what the Dekkers liked and disliked?
"Love is never a thing to be ashamed of," Matthias answered quietly, his response one that resounded in Tanner's heart. "Lucas and my brother love one another, though it's taking them forever to admit it." He smiled. "You've spent a lot of time among humans, and not so much around the Dracon, haven't you?"
Tanner nodded.
"Humans are much more concerned about gender as pertains to sex. The Dracon don't much care. Oh, we want to procreate of course, but when it comes to pleasure, to affection," Matthias paused as his voice thickened, "a Dracon can only go where his heart tells him to."
Matthias rose and took those few steps around the table to stand by Tanner. And damned if the prince wasn't sporting a hard-on, one that rested right at Tanner's eye level. Matthias lowered himself to a crouch, thank God, and turned Tanner to face him, his warm hands on either side of Tanner's face.
Tanner froze, wanting to escape from the intensity on Matthias's face as much as he wanted to lean into it, to feel the other man's warmth and vitality. To belong to another, even for just a few moments, as he had with Ava.
"What does your heart tell you when I do this?"
Matthias slowly met Tanner's mouth, and Tanner closed his eyes, not ready to see what he could already feel. Different than Ava's mouth, Matthias's was firm, not soft, and though not overly aggressive, certainly controlling. But that same connection that Tanner had felt for Ava he felt for Matthias. And the gentle kiss lasted longer than he might have hoped as Matthias slowly ran his tongue along the seam between Tanner's lips.
"Open for me," Matthias murmured, slowly standing and pulling Tanner with him. On their feet, the men were evenly matched. Matthias stood an inch taller, but not enough to make a difference where their mouths met.
Tanner parted his lips and heard himself groan as Matthias slipped his tongue inside. At the same time, Matthias stepped closer, and his cock met the hard plane of Tanner's cloth-covered belly.
For all that he wore a shirt, Tanner might as well have been naked. He could feel the heat in Matthias's cock burning through to his skin, and it was all he could do to keep his fists at his sides, not wanting to startle the man into stopping.
"That's it." Matthias worked his tongue again, this time plunging harder. The surprising gentleness was still there, but male need began to bleed through the embrace. Tanner couldn't help pressing closer to the arousal between them, especially when his own cock hungered for more.
Matthias, however, wouldn't have it. He took his arms from Tanner's shoulders and ran his hands down Tanner's back to his waist, holding softly to his hips. The touch made Tanner tremble, as much from need as from bewildering emotion. Matthias was handling him so carefully, as if he might break, and Tanner didn't understand why doing so made him want too cling tighter.
Dammit. This was not what he wanted. His body clamored for release, not some emotional drama that, frankly, scared the piss out of him. Not caring what Matthias might think, and half hoping the prince would back away, Tanner released the restraints on his control.
Growling, he grabbed Matthias's ass and pulled him closer, thrusting against the man's body and rubbing against that magnificent cock as he did so. He sucked on Matthias's tongue and gave back the stroking, fucking sensation by thrusting inside Matthias's mouth.
Matthias succumbed for a perfect, blissful moment, and then he started to fight back, trying to reassert dominance. Now this, Tanner understood. No touchy feely bullshit, but true, honest to God arousal.
Clenching Matthias's ass with gripping fingers, Tanner pushed them both across the kitchen floor to the wall. Matthias slammed against the wall with a bang and growled back
